I’ve now seen it twice in Philadelphia, and have some mixed thoughts on a few things and am curious what other folks are feeling."

Curious what your thoughts are, as I finally saw it. To add on to what was said above, they were very prompt in the start time. They made t

 Given that schools and most major sporting events are dropping their mandates, it just feels a little like theater itself at this point to be honest. And i am far from being a covid denier, i am triple vaxxed and still caught it.. My friend and I were going to see a show on tour a few weeks ago and didn't because she was in the middle of her vaxx series (not fully vaxxed yet) and couldn't get a test in time to have results back, we didn't go. Some of the touring productions

It was a bad time to open with so many shows re-opening in theatres everywhere around the same time, COVID making people on edge and many that decided to stay at home and not risk having to cancel plans made for Christmas. It's early days."

 

I think WSS would have done a bit better if they had also offered a straight to stream option on demand or to rent. I think they were

Fosse76 said: "All these closures demonstrate that producers are still using pre-pandemic metrics for post-hiatus viability. Tourist and ticketbuyer behavior is not the same as it was before, and some shows were a hard sell prior, anyway. It also shows that the League is willing to scapegoat the front of house for the closures (off-site testing with entrance refusals until test results are received, no bar, stringent oversight of staff and audience by covid monitors). Meanwhile, all

THIS. It does not appear to be fixed since this comment over 6 weeks ago. I would urge tech support to check out the pro boards form

Sutton Ross said: "People won't be willing to do this unless it's seriously worth it. So, unless they have a Hamilton on their hands currently, most people won't care to stand in a line for hours on end when they are vaccinated."

THIS. I'm covid cautious, I am triple vaxxed, but having to get tested is just not something i am going to do, especially since tests are scarce and insurance does not cover the cost unless your doctor orders it. Is it the sm

Rather than running around Chinatown without a mask, asking if a mask can beremoved for a photo op (the mask is either vital or it isn't....it doesn't change willy nilly), or attending a birthday party at a swanky restaurant, without a mask, maybe there needs to be more consistency in messaging.

Interesting though how the chief MAGA person himself, DT, was t

I liked it but felt like it was a bit too long. I love LMM and think the first half started with a bang, but the second half was a little all over the place and uninspired. I did think that the DACA and protest part felt really out of place and were not necessary. The entire show centers around the immigrant experience and first generation immigrant experience and the DACA talk jolted the show out of being timeless to being committed to a certain time period, if that makes sense. And it felt
