Jim Morgan resigns from York Thestre Oct 12
2024, 07:58:20 PM
Jim was the backbone to the York Theatre located at St.Jeans Theatre at 76th and Lexington Ave. He gave his all and will be sorely missed. He was pushed out by others and I think this will put a stake in the heart of the company. Expect a lot of blood loss at the box office in support of Mr. Morgan. Their future looks uncertain at this point.

THE ROOMMATE Reviews Sep 29
2024, 07:07:58 PM
An orchestra seat last Tuesday night was $229.
I found the ticket on the floor as I was exiting at the end of the show. At that price I want to see the known stars, not an understudy. Let's get real.

London/West End in July Apr 25
2024, 01:13:37 PM
Glad you picked Standing On The Sky's Edge. Of the twenty shows I saw in March this one was in the top five. Liked the play The Hills of California at the Pinter Theatre. The rush with todaystix.com gave me a stalls seat at a good price.

I lasted to the intermission and felt like I was in a long debate on one of those cable stations. It's not for everyone and I decided to pack it in.

Sunset Baby at Signature Feb 14

Two friends went this afternoon and both agreed the three character play was well done. I must add both said the N...er word was used to often and they thought it at one point was enough already. Spoke to them separately so feel I should mention it.

THE HEART OF ROCK &ROLL Feb 14

Today at the James Earl Jones box office only tickets are being sold for $19.85. The deal is for previews only and all seats are located in the second balcony. The announcement said tickets were $19.85 but location of tickets was not mentioned. Those in line were somewhat disappointed by the location but grateful for any special discount being offered today only. Huey Lewis was at the box office opening.

Ragtime Jan 16

I was also at Carnegie Hall Sunday night and the tribute to Stephen Flaherty was well done. Ragtime has been done twice on Broadway and doubt there will be a revival for many years to come.

London in February Jan 1
2024, 06:35:59 PM
Frozen was much better at The Drury Lane and sat in the stalls at a good price from the box office. Guys & Doll's standing is fine if your under 30. When I sat in the second row I witnessed a good number of standees leaning their backs against some walls after awhile and some were prevented from sneaking into a few unoccupied seats. Have to admit todaystix.com got me into a number of shows with their online lottery..13 days 17 shows check out theatremonkey.com for insights to sa

British transfers? Nov 26
2023, 11:13:52 AM
Although I saw and liked Dear England I have doubts if it will be a success here. Very British but a run at Park Ave. Armery could be the best venue. Old Friends & Guys & Doll's will settle in but the others are not very likely in my opinion. Sunset Boulevard only if Nicole Scherzinger is attached. Crazy For You was entertaining and Charlie Stemp is dynamic but the show is dated in many ways and commands a big cast. Mincemeat seems more attuned to the British hum

Cabaret at The Playhouse was the best show I saw when in London last. Day before show went to box office and some good locations were then available. Tickets are returned or canceled so check that out.

I'll pass this time around Aug 16
2023, 05:56:09 PM
Will be in London in October and decided to skip this one. A scaled down show at The Savoy theatre doesn't appeal to me. Still can't get over the cheap production of Funny Girl with Sheridan Smith at the Savoy a few years ago.

Got tickets for 25 November at 1:00. Side seats $129. Plenty seats at all prices available but $129. was my limit. A few minutes to get through on internet.

Lookingglass Theatre in Chicago will pause programming for a year and lay off more than half its staff Jul 1
2023, 04:45:25 PM
Put on play people want to see. I myself have passed up on a number of new shows because I just didn't care about the story. Also, being of a certain age I'm tired of some revivals and pass up on them too. I don't care who is starring in these old war horses. While on fire let me add I'm sick of Shakespeare in modern dress. Cheap...Cheap... we don't have a costume expensive ...I went numb watching Othello at The National in London when it started with men in modern militar
