Harry Potter TDF seats this past Friday night were rear left orchestra.

Going next week! Very much looking forward to it.

I really, really disliked this as well. Loud, long, and boring. Also, the gratuitous graphic animal violence was extremely unnecessary and disturbing.

I've been posting here for a while (not as long as some, but a fairly long time)... I do love it here and always have. I think there is a wealth of knowledge and experiences that are shared.

That being said, I have found the constant trolling and bickering lately to be rather disheartening. I hope that it won't drive away folks whose thoughts and experiences I do enjoy reading about, though.

I'm looking forward to seeing this for the cast and score alone. Michael Mayer's track record with revivals is fairly hit (Hedwig, Little Shop) or miss (Funny Girl, On a Clear Day). I'm curious to see what work he will do with Chess.

Phantom was my first show I saw ON Broadway - I was a high school kid. I had seen countless shows on tour prior to then. On my first trip here I saw Phantom, Hair, Billy Elliot, Jersey Boys, and Shrek. Not a bad haul for a first trip!

My first professional live show was the national tour of The Wizard of Oz back in the late 1990s. Eartha Kitt played the Wicked Witch of the West!

Well, I'll be seeing this twice now for sure. I want to see Kristin, and I adore Sherie. It will be fun to compare their performances.

I do worry about the sight lines for this... Michael Arden has proven he either does not understand or care about sight lines with both Parade and MHE, and the St James has notoriously bad sight lines to begin with.

The set has been downsized further. The taverna walls are more square-ish and smaller. No automation either.

I'm going late next week. This has always been one of my favorite guilty pleasure shows so I can't wait.

I would love to see some design enhancements for the Broadway sit down, but my expectation is that they will just be plopping the tour set into the Winter Garden. Oh well, it will still be fun to have this on Broadway again for a little while!

I had so much fun seeing this at City Center. Looking forward to having a pro shot of this one!

Happy closing. So glad I got to see this several times over the course of its run. Truly one of the most thrilling theatrical experiences I've ever had.

I'm a huge Phantom fan, but I can't muster up even the slightest bit of interest in this. Honestly, I'm more excited about the US tour that's launching in the fall!

There would have been absolutely no sane or logical reason to extend this a few more weeks. The fact that they ran as long as they did at such a loss is kind of surprising. I honestly thought they would have closed up a little sooner.

I ADORED Pamela I as Roxy. I thought she absolutely nailed the role. I agree with quizking's assessment on her chemistry with Lana Gordon and the realism she brought to the role. She was just a delight and brought some great energy to the show.

It may be that they just cannot logistically replicate what they're doing in London for Broadway. I wouldn't be surprised if DCFMA will be done differently if/when this transfers to Broadway.

Much like the spinning seats for Andrew Lloyd Webber's Cinderella in London were scrapped for the Broadway production as it just was not possible to pull off.
