Actually, in response to 1984, Jonathan Larson tried and was denied the rights to adapt it, so he created his own pseudo-1984 with Superbia, that was never seen, but I have heard rumblings that there are those who are taking that material and trying to turn into something ala "tick".

When Denzel Washington was doing Othello, he and I were both on phones walking towards each other, we bumped into one another, I onto the street, turned to tell him to eff off, saw who it was and changed my mind...he gave me a dirty look and kept going.

Temp in theatres?

I would NEVER wear shorts - just wanted a sense of what people were up to during the heat wave. Bringing friends to their first B'Way shows next week and don't want them to be too uncomfortable.

I know the theatres are air conditioned, but are the theatres still warm during this crazy heat wave? Lots of people wearing shorts? Are are the theatre pumping the A/C like crazy to help everyone beat the heat?

Disappointments

Avenue Q - to be fair, I got caught in a wicked downpour and was soaking wet and cold the whole time - but the monitors pissed me off, I thought the "purpose" stuff throughout was tedious and destroyed the momentum and sadly, it wasn't that funny - well, it was-the first time I listened to the cast album, but it was stale by the time I saw it.
Cry Baby - I hoped it would be somewhere near as good as Hairspray, but it was a disaster. I was bored to tears.
Saturday Night Fever -

Post-Show Dining

Everytime I'm in New York, I struggle to find places to eat after shows - most I wander into inform me they are no longer serving.
Any suggestions on where to grab a good bite post-show? Decently priced, of course.

You didn't really name drop, since I see no name in your post. But of the three directors I would consider to be "the MOST powerful", they have each recently worked on shows that are actual disasters...

"Too many problems" is a bit of a stretch. It wasn't perfect, but it wasn't a mess.
I'm not sure why I feel the need to defend it - I just think that it didn't get a fair shake early (no thanks to the weasel Riedel) - and it was climbing an uphill battle by the time it opened. I certainly saw potential in it - but the worst part is that it's gone. Royalties aren't available anywhere and nobody else will get a crack at it.
