I keep trying to send a PM but the site won’t let me/glitches. Reach out to me, I likely have a spare avail! 


Retro Playbill Covers to be distributed at every Broadway show in October, for company's 140th anniversary

Got 3/4 of them at R + J today! Hoping to score at a show tomorrow, but I got 3/4 at Sunset yesterday just to find the fourth laying outside the theater today! Maybe the Reddit will start a trading thread, I'm so ready to catch em all!

I'm actually the target audience for once here, so I'll give a comprehensive review! This was my show tonight as well, I rushed it and got front-row seats and it was pretty good and solid. I wrote some notes on my thoughts during intermission, so I'll summarize those since the second act was unbelievably short. I think the audience could've used a break a bit earlier, but I understand that the structure of the acts is not the standard 2 act in the first place.

Saw this tonight, ADORED IT, cannot rave enough, but even going in with knowledge of the show I agree audio felt spotty. House right mezz, definitely should be fixed before the end of previews. The act two opener felt clearest and it was literally outdoors. Wow. I will say it could be that the ensemble has too many mics, as "Let's have Lunch" was so hard to understand.

I will recommend the mobile rush for this show! It was very worth it and the view was completely clear a


A three show day?
 Sep 26 2024, 09:29:23 AM

I did this way back when with a 2 pm Mean Girls, 5 pm Freestyle Love Supreme, 7 pm Hadestown. This normally wasn’t possible, but it was around Easter so Hadestown had a night show.

Jordan Catalano said: "One of the biggest problems on 45th st is that half OR MORE of the sidewalk (the only access you have the the tables) is roped off by shows to allow for lines into the theaters."

Can I also add on that 45th was made OBNOXIOUS by The Outsiders fans? People were just standing and waiting for the cast, and there was their rush line until noon, and when the cast arrived it was impossible to escape, and I'm all for youth crowds (I'm one of t

I have a full suitcase already. I'm glad to have finally found some Bad Cinderella stuff and a blank Gutenburg hat! The prices felt high this year, but it's for charity so maybe I'll try writing it off on taxes, itemized. Are we able

I think I was looking for information about new shows for the next year, and I realized how much I enjoyed reading the debates on shows and all the upcoming stuff. I was in high school probably, and I wanted to see others talk about theater as much as I wanted to. I like to look here daily, but I don't post daily because I don't have enough to add, and I often see shows when they're closer to the end of life. Tony's season is always amazing here too!

Fellow market attendee! I'm hitting year 5 of my search for a Great Comet of 1812 window card, please make my dreams a reality (under $100)! 

Other than that, I'll be searching mostly for things from the shows I liked this past season that closed at Curtain Call's table. The Instagram preview has nice items, but I know I'll mainly be looking for popular shows, much to my misfortune. I liked Bad Cinderella last year and there wasn't much from there last year eit

Just got the email that the show is cancelled tonight due to cast illness and the full run is completely sold out. Gutted considering this is another cancellation post the extension due to cancellations.

I'm in the minority, but I still cannot even construe what W4E is about. Is it an acrobatic spectacle? A heartbreaking romance? I still have no clue and I didn't really like the performance enough to put this on a "to watch in June" shortlist.


The 77th Annual TONY Awards Performances
 Jun 16 2024, 08:17:24 PM

Is it just me or the stage looks scarily cramped and small? It's 7-9 people wide, which is the same size as a high school theater? Their venues in years past had larger stages but no matter which presenter is on, they're getting off so quickly and all the props look large. Hopefully shows with smaller casts will look better on there?

The opening number is giving if "Hell's Kitchen" and "The Great Gatsby" had a child, but that child was Cabaret.. Not a fan.


Welch’s GATSBY to premiere in 2024 ART
 Jun 9 2024, 11:09:28 AM

Just saw the show last night and had to add my thoughts. I'll note that I saw it in the cheap row BB partial view seats and the only parts I missed were the rear of the staircase on the right staircase, which is where Gatsby and Daisy have an extended scene on the floor during Pouring Down. Speaking of, there was not a setlist change from the last iteration. 

The choreography was really the shining star of this piece, which I truly enjoyed. I'm a huge fan of great dancing


YES! BEN PLATT IS REOPENING THE PALACE!!
 May 26 2024, 01:16:23 AM

This is going to sound bizarre but I got my album very early as in a week plus and this is definitely not his best work. I wish he staged Reverie in this theater, it would've been perfect. The first half of the album is solid but all the songs past the title track (honeymind, I think that's track 9), is quite a doozy and repetitive. I'm a massive fan of Platt- hell, I have VIP for this and have been following him for years but it becomes the same style of "oh, I'm in

I was just thinking of this! On a tour front, this productions set doesn't lend it to touring whatsoever. It's very chaotic and large and I'm not sure how well it could tour because of that. The demographics for this show are limited but interesting (LGBT women, art afficionados, tastemakers) which means it could have a healthy run in a place like Los Angeles

Adding my voice late in the run! 

Thought this was a very thought-provoking piece, with Amy's performance truly a highlight. I'm not familiar with the piece at all going in, however I felt Schreiber could have done more with his Flynn. He did amazing in some parts and not so amazing in others. Especially in the courtyard scene, he didn't feel as convincing as I feel he could've been. Maybe it was deliberate, not sure. Bernstine did well for her moment, but I a
