Profile for 60'splayoff

I was there last night! Keeping in mind it was her first performance, she was totally solid. Her Juliet was a little more grounded and mature than Lorna's. She had some great vocal moments, but the higher stuff was thin. I'm sure she's still working out pacing, stamina etc. and will undoubtedly grow.

The biggest delight of the evening for me was Oliver Tompsett! High energy, chemistry with Betsy was off the charts and vocals were stellar. Probably my favorite of the 3 Shake

Ugh I'm so disappointed to hear that others have had similar experiences.

I just want to add that I'm no straight-laced grump at shows. I love an appropriately placed hoot and holler, I was wiping away tears at Hell's Kitchen last week, hell I'll even join a mid-show standing o if the spirit moves me! I just think the intention behind some of these audience member's behavior is annoyingly obvious and they cross the line from genuine support to pulling focu

I just needed to vent about how insufferable this fan base is. I actually enjoy the show, have already seen it a handful of times and took a friend over the weekend. It ended up being a miserable experience thanks to this "look at me watch the show" group. I understand deeply connecting to a production but when your response is so over-the-top and performative that you negatively affect patrons around you- idk I feel like they're alienating the very thing their beloved

I sat there last night... oof. When I snagged the ticket online Friday afternoon (Box E, Seat 2) it wasn't even showing the other boxes, but it looked closest to the mezz. When I arrived yesterday, I was escorted to the box closest to the stage. Ugh. The usher kept saying &qu

I caught this on Saturday night and was pleasantly surprised. For whatever reason, my excitement level for this one was low. Out of the recent streak of "meh" new musicals, I would give these guys a Best Musical nom. The cast is excellent, it moves rather quickly thanks to some exciting stage moments (the barn, the rumble etc.) and while the music did start to sound the same, at least it sounded pleasant and cohesive.

I do want to comment on whatever is all over the stage: ru

Just wanted to share my rush experience from Sat: I arrived around 9am and was roughly 20th in line. Not only did I get tickets, but I recognized a handful of people at the show who were behind me in line. A lot of us were in "partial view" seats located in the side front mezz. It looks like those seats (as well as side orch) are blocked off in the near future for this. It wasn't terribly limited, just the upstage corner.

As for the show, count me in the disappointed

I rushed a couple Saturday's ago and showed up around 9:15am, was around 30th in line and thought "there's no way" but waited anyway. The security guard was announcing that they had run out for the evening performance by the time I reached the box office (he was having a good time, I got a kick out of it). To my surprise, I got a rush ticket for the matinee as did the couple behind me and I recognized some people at the performance who were even further back in line... we we

BuddyStarr said: Thanks. yeah I thought the same thing about the show maybe being a bit more proactive in their "no recording/picture taking" policies.

Sorry you had to go through this too, it really does make an unpleasant experience and taints future visits to live theatre."

Oh goodness, mine was nothing compared to your traumatic experience. Wishing you pleasant and uninterrupted performances moving forward!

I've seen the show a han

I'm so sorry that happened to you @buddystarr. Feeling frustrated and distracted is one thing, feeling unsafe is another.

My struggle is always to either silently suffer or say something and risk setting the patron off, making more of a scene. 

I was at & Juliet the Tuesday after Tony's (hmm a theme here... maybe that show needs to explore a more in-your-face announcement rather than just a sign). I was in the front row next to a woman who shamelessly filmed all
