Several from "Merrily" would work..."Our Time", "Old Friends", even "Good Thing Going"

It's definitely much easier at intermission if there is a seat that you have seen go unused. You could also try to go to the box office about 5 minutes before the show starts and say something like "I'm really excited to see the show but could only afford this price range...Is there any chance there is something closer available that I could move to?" and depending on the box office staff you might have some luck. Good luck!

Wow! We saw completely different shows. I loved it!  You have to go in knowing that you are being dropped into a recording studio in the mid-70's and then just be a voyeur/fly on the wall. Such a cool experience and the songs are amazing. Can't wait for the cast recording.

Thats's theater. In the same space, watching the same show someone is having their life changed while the person next to them might be losing the will to live. Apples and Oranges. I LOVED "Illinoise". 

This is an opinion based message board. While I understand that this show wasn't for you, perhaps a more in-depth review might resonate more than "bloated piece of crap" and "massive mess". 

No shade to Robbie but I feel like he would have read much older than the rest of the cast. Not that it would really matter but I felt like Brandt truly brought a lightness and an open spirit to his journal entry. 

I mean, I never thought that "Company" would actually go on tour but it has and seems to be doing fine. I think "Merrily" could tour easily since it's basically a unit set and if it was part of a subscription series it could introduce more people to the magic of Sondheim. 

I would imagine Heart of Rock and Roll will post tonight around 6:40 after telling the cast and crew. I'm thinking May 6th. That show has been hemorrhaging money week to week.

One thing you sure don't want when the Times is there are tech glitches ...Eeek. Not surprised by these critiques but ouch. What a weird season for new musicals.

It's currently losing around $600k a week. It will not be around in the fall. It'll be lucky to make it to June tbh.

Correct. They have their opening night performance tomorrow at six followed by their party but reviews won't come out til Monday when the show "officially" opens.  I think "How to dance in Ohio" did this as well as a few other shows recently. 

Haven't seen the show yet but from reading all the comments leading up to opening I was expecting much more positive reviews than it's receiving. The Tony race for Best Musical is a complete mystery rn...only time will tell

Sure. Now talk to any of her castmates...

Always informative to hear a rave from someone who joined a week ago. Doesn’t sound shill-y at all (you know how sometimes an early rave can feel disingenuous) but this one feels super honest and forthright  

First preview audiences are a special breed. They’ll figure it out but you can’t fault them for not knowing exactly what type of craziness they were gonna be dealing with.  

Jennifer Simard just posing in that teaser has me slamming down my credit card! Take my money! Can't wait.
