re: Grey Gardens seating question
Dec 20
2006, 06:02:21 PM
I sat in the second to last row in the orchestra, and like others have said, the overhang wasn't a problem at all. I thought it was a great seat and it really did feel much closer to the stage than you would expect.

"I also think they don't have to reopen the 2nd act with them having sex."
When I saw it, one woman said, "Oh no, not again" and started laughing at that part. I didn't get the impression that she was offended, but she was a bit uncomfortable. I think she was with her teenage daughter.
I liked the show overall, but maybe not as much as I wanted to. Moritz was the most interesting character for me, and I wasn't as interested in the relationship between Melchior and Wendla. (

There's an interview on Hamptons.com with Michael Sucsy, and he said they were going to start filming at the end of October. Here's the link: http://www.hamptons.com/liveview.ihtml. There's also an interview with Christine Ebersole.

The ticket has your seat number on it, so you don't choose where you sit. Most of the seats seem pretty good, though.

re: Seating/Ticket-getting question for Macbeth

Someone said this past Saturday, the last person to get tickets got on line at 10:30am. (It was in this thread: https://www.broadwayworld.com/board/readmessage.cfm?boardname=bway&thread=903123#2312706.) Maybe someone else would be better at describing the seating. Your ticket has your seat number on it, and the seats kind of make a semi-circle around the stage, if that makes any sense.

re: Originals vs. Revivals

I don't really enjoy it more than the original, but I love the London revival of Sunday in the Park with George. Lately, I've been playing it as often as the OBC.

My dogs were already named when we adopted them, but one is named Nellie. It's appropriate that she shares Mrs. Lovett's first name, because she really would eat anyone anything.

The Playbill article said previews start July 29 and it opens August 16. I never got to see it before, so I'm looking forward to this!

At Broadway Under the Stars, while Manoel Felciano was singing, the women next to me
had a conversation:
Woman 1: He's Patti LuPone's son.
Woman 2: Really?
Woman 1: Well, in the play that they're in he plays her son.
Later, about Sutton Foster:
Woman 1: What did they say she's in?
Woman 2: The Sleepy Chaperone?
Woman 1: Oh, yeah, I think you're right.

I love that site. There are a couple Broadway-related ones from a while ago that I saved:
Spinster #1: Really reminds you of your first love, doesn't it?
Spinster #2: Yeah, that and segregation.

Tourist lady #1: Sweeney Todd...I heard that's a spoof on a cooking show.
Tourist lady #2: Oh, is it about Julia Child?
Tourist lady #1: I think so.

I went on Thursday. We got on line around 9am, and we were toward the front. There were a decent number of people ahead of us, but we knew that we wouldn't have a problem getting tickets. The line wasn't crazy at all, especially compared to the weekend I went last year (got there at 9:30 and didn't come close to getting tickets). On Thursday the people next to us thought we could have come at 10am and still have gotten a ticket.

As much as I enjoyed Doubt, I preferred The Pillowman. I keep forgetting that it lost.
I almost wish I could see Doubt again, though, since I seem to be one of a few who thought the character might be innocent. I'm starting to feel kind of crazy.

I saw it for the first time a few weeks ago, and I loved it. I assumed that I would leave thinking he was guilty, but I changed my mind fairly early in the play. I got the impression that he (and Sister James for that matter) just had a different idea of how they should offer guidance to the students. Sister Aloysius struck me as a bit paranoid and unwilling to consider their differing philosophies about education. Although, if I remember correctly, I think she told Sister James and the boy'

I think I'm going to be in the minority, but I've sat in AA115 and C3, and I preferred C3. It is interesting to sit close to the stage for this show, especially if you like the creepy stares and eye contact, but I agree with those who've said that the first row is a strain on your neck and makes it difficult to see the entire stage. Since you'd be right in the center, that might help, but I think your neck would thank you for going back a couple rows. I definitely didn't feel as though I was

I asked my friend how girls on a school trip from her old (Catholic) high school decided to see Sweeney Todd, and she said:
"[Girl's name] told everyone that it was about a fat, happy man. And then the show started and we were like, 'No, this is definitely a bald, scary man.'"
And there's also the time someone wrote a review of Sweeney Todd for our school paper, saying that she really enjoyed the show and "Michael Cervantes," whoever that is.

No, I didn't stage door. I'm very shy, so I'd probably just stand there and be awkward, especially when I'm by myself. I was so tempted to do it, but I had such I great time at the show, I didn't want to do anything to ruin the experience.

If you're asking me, yes, I was. It was great to be there that night.
