VP Vance and his wife were booed tonight when they entered the Kennedy Center. News flash to the liberals attending the event, Vance does not care and knows you hate him. All the booing is doing is adding "fodder" for FOX News and other conservative outlets showing how intolerant they believe the crowd attending the performance tonight was to the VP and his wife."
If so, then it will be one of the rare instances that FOX News and other conservative outlets repor

I got 3rd row orchestra center pair last Sat eve at TKTS for $124. Before heading to the booth, I checked the map and there were quite a few front center orchs available. I paid nearly triple that for front row just two months ago. Audra and the entire cast was on except Jordan. Happy for me, worried for the show.
akhoya87 said: "The front row of center orchis fine. Because the stage extends out with the passerelle, you really only have to crane your neck slightly when the actors are on the passerelle. Otherwise, the stage is set back a bit, and you have a nice view of the whole stage. (Note, however, Rose's Turn is done on the passerelle for most (?) of the song, which means you will be looking up at Audra. I actually liked it better this way, but YMMV.)"
I returned this weekend for the first time since January and if anything I was even more devastated by Audra’s force-of-nature performance. I must say I was taken aback by how manic and screechy a lot of the direction and other performances are. Did I not notice the first time because I was just so overwhelmed by Audra?
SingingEachtoEach said: "I have tickets to Parade at KC (bought them ages ago before any of this happened) and if they do go forward I'll have a bit of a dilemma."
IMO, going to the KC at this point says you either condone or don’t care about the fascist seizure. No performance is worth that. I used to go 3 to 4 times a month and simply stopped cold turkey.
Seeing Streetcar and Threepenny the same day, plus Cherry Orchard at St. Ann's the night before. While I normally stay in midtown when I come to town, this time I'm looking for a hotel as close to BAM as possible. I'm looking at a place called the EVEN hotel -- just a 7-minute walk and just over $300 a night. Anyone know it? Any other recommendations?
One person told me Kosky's Sweeney Todd will be seen in NYC in the not-too-distant future. She said Broadway,
My last experience with a Yondr pouch was in Berlin at a Bob Dylan concert and I was relieved when I was informed that it had nothing to do with nudity on stage.
I did see a weekday student matinee Othello in San Francisco a while back that had Othello naked in a bath tub, and when he stood up a kid threw what appeared to be a bottle of poppers at the stage.
Some MAGAbrain on another site who seems to know a lot about the entertainment business claims that people are tired of this woke **** and predicts that this movie is going to bomb.
I have tickets for ABT's Crime and Punishment (ironically) tomorrow night at the Kennedy Center and I'm truly torn as to what to do. Attending a performance there just 48 hours after the seizure seems at best like not caring about what happened and at worst like condoning it. On the other hand staying home seems like abandoning one of America's great ballet companies which I have loved and supported for decades, not to mention all the employees at the Center, some of whom I k
People, I happened to like Emilia Perez quite a bit, and it's disappointing to hear that some people don't like it because it's not built like a 'traditional' musical, but there is no way that it's going to win Best Picture. Best International Feature Film, yes, very likely, but not Best Picture. Anora, sadly, peaked too early. Now The Brutalist, whether it deserves it or not, has Oscar bait written all over it and I'm guessing it will triumph o

People have always, I mean, always enjoyed putting down Sunset Boulevard since the day it was born, regardless of who's in it or what it looks like. I was absolutely certain and widely enthusiastic about a Nicole win,

I finally saw the show Sunday matinee, and what's making this show truly an event is that Audra's giving the most extraordinary, emotionally devastating musical theater performance I've ever

One NYE we walked out of the Palace Theater after seeing Woman of the Year (can't remember if it was Betty or Raquel -- I do remember we liked Welch better) a bit after 10:30 and enjoyed the festivities from our great spot in the front of the theater. After the ball had dropped, the place emptied out fast and we were literally carried by the crowd for one or two blocks. We then dropped in on a friend who had cable to see these really cool short music videos on something called M
About the people with tickets to canceled performances, I am so curious to know 1. which show, if any, they went to see instead ( maybe Maybe Happy Ending, I hope?) 2. how many will rebook Gypsy (I imagine the show's lost for good a lot of the out of town tourists, and probably fewer but definitely some impulsive ticket-buyers who were swept up by the excitement of the the pre-show WOM and opening night reviews. That phenomenon just can't be re
MusicalGuy3 said: "Sat in the front row a few weeks ago. Like being in the front car on a roller coaster. Everything feels a little more heightened. Stage is not especially high."
Everyone talking about Audra's intensity makes me think maybe the front row of the center section might be fun. If so, given the passerelle, would smack in the center or end of the row be better. Otherwise back in row L center? I'm guessing I only have one day left to decide. Please advise. Thank you!
