Sweeney Todd tonight - front mezz, row C, seat 12. Perfect seat and Nicholas Christopher was phenomenal.

Saw Hadestown last night in one of the best TDF seats I've ever gotten - orchestra E 101. Third row on the aisle right next to where Reeve Carney runs by in act 2.

Walking Out at Intermission - The Thread May 14

Never at a Broadway show.
Twice at Lincoln Center actually - I walked out of Notre Dame de Paris when it was there last year, and also the NY Philharmonic this spring (I was tired, they had already done the Brahms piece I was looking forward to, and it was a paper ticket anyway).
Also, randomly, the operetta The Duchess of Chicago when I was visiting Budapest.

Not sure about Saturday night, but he was in the Sat matinee (source: was there). He sounded fine vocally if a little garbled. I'd have been stoked to see Gavin Lee."
Raul was in Saturday night. He was pretty gravelly but it wasn't so bad that I attributed it to anything but a creative choice.

LOVE at Park Avenue Armory Mar 27

I did. I ended up front and center through TDF which was a little uncomfortable at times but it made it all the more real. Really impactful piece, I wish more theatre was as naturalistic as that.

Tonight I saw LOVE at the Park Avenue Armory and my seat was Floor 6 - i.e. literally onstage, front and center in front of the actors. One of them took my hand.

Looks like Josh Groban will be at a charity gala in LA on 3/18: https://e.givesmart.com/events/v7U/
Could he be appearing virtually? Ticketmaster doesn't list any absences for him. Otherwise it may be a good opportunity to get a cheap refunded ticket/see Nicholas Christopher.

My friend and I went tonight and we got rear mezz row E, pretty much dead center. Not great not terrible. Felt similarly about the show.

To answer a couple of questions I haven't seen responses to:
1. There's no tooth-pulling in the contest scene, it's just "shave a cheek".
2. The Judge did not have the "mea culpa" solo.

I have but didn't feel like I had much to contribute, in no small part because I went in almost totally blind and didn't have much of a critical eye (or ear). But I absolutely loved it.
I will say, in listening to the two available songs, they do sound more OTT than I remember. But I saw Fra

I'm going, and it'll be my fourth time so I should be able to compare and contrast CB's performance pretty well. First time seeing Rob McClure, though.
