I just kept thinking during the show that I thought the actor seemed miscast and I didn’t enjoy his performance at all. Now I’m wondering if audience reaction colored my views.

And given the scene he has to play with Carrie, it’s doubly creepy to think what’s going on

There is no simple or easy solution to this problem, IMO. The theatregoers around the latecomer have paid for a unique experience and were on time, therefore should they be taken from this experience (which depending on their circumstances- may have cost them a lot of money and planning time) or should the theatregoers also be compassionate to the fact that the latecomer may have had some unforeseen circumstances and paid like everyone else to enjoy the experience. Now, I will say that I

I cannot stand unwrapping noises and candy boxes shuffling around, and I actively stare down people near me if they make that kind of noise during a show. Pig out all you want during intermission! But we all arriveto a show with the same number of hours in our day, so you can and should figure out a way to eat appropriately beforehand so y

PatrickDC said: "I agree with those who are confused why someone can't wait one hour until intermission or the end of Act 2 to eat. It must be they are so used to eating in movie theaters, they think the same thing is ok in live theaters. And yes, it's an economic consideration: Theaters are pushing the snack bar. It wasn't that long ago that food and beverages were absolutely forbidden in live theaters. Now it's ok.

I keep them at the very bottom of my zippered purse, and unzip/dig/rezip only when I need one, which is every 20 minutes (oddly, only during theatrical performances). Iunwrap each candyas slowly as possible – usually taking a full 5 to 10 minutes each– so as not to disturb anyone (thank goodness the actors are una

I saw the matinee (1:30pm) today (Sunday 9/2) and Joshua Henry was also out. However, when I purchased tickets on telecharge it did state that he would be out. I was a bit disappointed as I was hoping to see his performance, not because I know him as an actor or enjoy his style as I don't know him and I have never seen the production in any rendition, but I like seeing productions for the first time with the leads that were originally cast. 

I didn't overwhelmingly love th

Two simple statements:

We don't have enough information.

Innocent until proven guilty.

Both side on here are absolutely right. Yes, many jumped to the defense of the dancers. because the information is so vague and doesn't really tell us much. However, others quickly jumped to the defense of the NYCB stating well if someone resigned and others are suspended it's for not for nothing. And I say, well you're both right. If they were suspended, it's for a

Well, it's a lottery so things are always up to chance. There is no real telling whether a 1 ticket submission will be more lucky than a 2 ticket submission. The only advantage that a 1 ticket submission has, is when another 1-ticket submission wins. The amount of tickets available at most events are usually an even number. For example, Hamilton offers 40 lottery tickets. If a 1-ticket submission wins, that would automatically ensure that another 1-ticket submission would have to win to c

Going in blind, with the music entirely memorized or somewhere in between is really just a personal preference and there's no use in arguing which is best. I prefer going in blind, because I enjoy the element of surprise and wow-factor of hearing the music for the first time. I also find that when I hear some songs without the visual aspect for the first time, I'm not so keen on them, but when I get the full effect I tend to actually really enjoy them and listen to them again later.&n

I am a 14-year-old who lives on long island so Broadway is a 1 hr train ride away from where I live. I am very independent and I think that I can go see a Broadway show by myself but my parents don't think so. Does anyone know how I can convince them? Also, I know that the Marquis theatre checks ids when it

Lotteries are great for theatregoers who live really close. I'm 30 minutes from Broadway, so it's not difficult to make plans to attend, especially when lotteries that let you know same day inform you between 9am - 2pm and many others actually let you know the day before. This makes it quite convenient to plan ahead for us who are in the area. It's also better than having to show up at a theatre to be informed you're not a winner and trekking back home after was
