Which Digital Lotteries Have You Won Since Broadway Has Been Back ?
 Oct 12 2021, 12:10:31 PM
Wicked
Six
American Utopia
Lehman Trilogy
Freestyle Love Supreme

Pretty much have won for everything we've tried for within 7-10 days except for Hamilton, Hadestown and Little Shop, the former two which we won pre pandemic.

Persistence definitely pays off.

Persephone Alternate begins 2 Perfs/week

Sutton Ross said: "I hope they announce which days she'll be out so the audience can schedule accordingly. I hope they do this for all alternates going forward for shows."

Each show is certainly different in their approach, but typically I've only seen them announce when there is a headliner for a show (i.e. Donna Murphy filling in for Better on scheduled times)


FREESTYLE LOVE SUPREME 2021 Previews
 Oct 8 2021, 06:48:24 PM
Hi all,

We won the Lottery for tomorrow 10/9 @ 9:00.

Unfortunately (or fortunately) we also unexpectedly won SIX for 10/9 @8:00.

As we have already seen FLS, have decided to see SIX instead. While we could certainly run around the corner and just miss the first 20 minutes of FLS given SIX short run time, figured we would see if anyone would be interested in our FLS tickets.

They are second row orchestra and provided in telecharge pdf. Just looking for what we

HADESTOWN Reviews

florida theatre kid said: "I saw the show last night 1/23. Went in without knowing much of the music besides anything they’ve performed on TV. Absolutely incredible. A year into their Broadway run (and many who have been with it years before that), the energy is still electric. I loved the opening number and the introduction of everyone. Really gets the audience involved right away.

Nothing much more can be said about the top notch cast. DeShields is legendary. Page


Partial View Seats at MOULIN ROUGE?
 Jan 23 2020, 10:59:37 AM

some of them are pretty awful, if you are at the end you miss 1/3 of the show.

At lottery prices, the seats are fair. Paying much more than that and I'd rather pay more for a full view seat.


1/19 Closings/Last Shows

MollyJeanneMusic said: "I saw someone on Twitter say that Jonathan Groff was crying during both "Skid Row" and "Suddenly Seymour" duringLittle Shop today. Would love any other reports!"

Wonder if he would be interesting in comiing back now that the cast of Mindhunter has been (sadly) released from their contracts.

Good for her.

She was fantastic in her criminally short stint in Waitress (never got her own playbill shot). Hopefully this is great exposure for her.


Row B partial view for Jagged Little Pill

suicidalmickeymouse said: "I got B9 and B11 for 2 weeks from now but now Im starting to doubt my choice and wondering if I should call and move. Anyone sat up close partial view?"

I'd try to move back even if its to another "partial view location". If you can get back to F you should be good, but B is too close to the side stage lights that it would have really bothered me.


TOOTSIE closing

BroadwayBen said: "Does anyone know if they are planning anything special for the closing? I might grab a single. I'm interested in seeing it again. I saw it right after it opened, and I had a really mixed experience. Unlike most people, I thought the book was the biggest problem. It was just a series of gags surrounding the story of "Tootsie" and it never gave the any true sense of story. You didn't buy its premise for a second, so you just sorted of waited for the


Worst Broadway Show of the Decade?
 Jan 1 2020, 03:48:36 PM

UsedToBeTheKing said: "No TOOTSIE? That's the worst of the shows I personally got to see (though maybe not fair to call it "worst of the decade", I know I'm probably in the minority). I heard justifications for the book, but I thought the book was worse than the music. The changes they made from screen to stage made absolutely no sense!They took a screenplay that is taught in screenwriting classes and touted as ashining example of storytellingand removed most of the


The Little Shop got extended till March 8!

PassingThrough2 said: "I am not seeing any availability for any of the January dates I'm considering... Is it already selling out?"

If you are looking at pre 1/19 (the pre established Groff run), those were already sold out and have been for sometime.

Unsure if you are referring to post 1/21 which should represent the new block of tickets for the extension.

With or without Groff? Or unconfirmed?

Thanks for the note


Broadway Grosses: Week Ending 11/24/19

Phantom of London said: "With both all 5 bigShubert houses tied up, along with all the Jujamcyn houses, these are the default houses that Scott Rudin uses, when he cannot get a Shubert house. The Music Man needs to go somewhere or people are going to be disappointed, so wonder if Rudin would be tempted to take the Lyric instead?"

Why would the Lyric be available?

I'm sure its house specfic, but in the vast majority of my lottery wins, the tickets have already been preprinted, so when you arrive would not impact where your seats are.

I think how quickly you pay is mo

Won digital today. OrchR G20 G22.

Could have moved inward a bit at intermission given some unsold seats, but the seats were fine and we didnt feel obstructed.

I thought the show was just OK. Trying to tackle so many social issues simultaneously felt like it kept me from fully vesting in the story.


Demand for spring shows(Diana,SIX, Company, Girl from the North Country)

Favorite Flop?

markypoo said: "Interesting that thus far, no one's mentioned Tootsie."

Why is that interesting? No one has mentioned the other shows that have closed this past year either and very few from the last couple seasons as well.

I'm amazed at the opportunities people seem to look for to take a shot at that show. The fact that no one has mentioned it is not an indication or affirmation that its on peoples list of complete failures that flopped either. Which

Ledaero said: "Merrily We Roll Along. Duh."

Jason Alexander tells some pretty good stories about how sure he was that he'd made it only for it to close after 16 performances.

He still sings songs from the score when he tours.
