I almost never hate a show, but I thought Dracula, the musical was just abysmal and truly hated it.

I saw yesterday's matinee, and I thought it was good. Turner in particular was just a pleasure to watch. Very engaging.
Interestingly I happened to see Jonigkeit on the street a couple of hours later and congratulated him on his performance. I wonder if he already knew then? Sad. I thought that Kunken was also quite good.
Agreed that it wasn't a brilliant play, but it was entertaining theater with talented performers.

Soundtrack Shopping in NYC
Apr 20
2011, 09:10:25 AM
I used to live in NYC, but now that I'm back to visit it seems that all my favorite places to go to browse through Broadway and cabaret recordings seem to be gone. I know that I can buy stuff cheapest online, but I'm wondering if there's anywhere in Manhattan left to just spend some time browsing recordings. Tower at Lincoln Center used to have a great selection. Is there any place left?
(BTW, saw Good People last night and thought it was a very, very good play and performance...Fran

Best 3 - Worst 3
Apr 4
2011, 09:33:02 PM
Just three is so hard, but off the top of my head I'd say:
BEST:
1. Elegies - Lincoln Center
2. Caroline, or Change - Public Theater (saw it on Broadway too, but liked the smaller space better)
3. Drowsy Chaperone - Broadway
WORST:
1. Dracula, the Musical - Broadway(hands down the worst show - musical or play - I've ever seen)
2. The Look of Love - Broadway
3. Brooklyn - Broadway

Have you seen a show in every Broadway house?

2011, 12:30:19 PM
I had never considered this, but this was a really fun exercise. I hit IBDB and set myself up a spreadsheet. The only theater I haven't been in is The Music Box. I've seen the most shows (6) in the Al Hirschfeld (formerly the Martin Beck). Runner ups were the Marquis (5), Studio 54 (5), Walter Kerr (5). My first Broadway show in 1986 was The Mystery of Edwin Drood at the Imperial. Also listing the shows made me realized I've seen 101 Broadway shows...so fun! Thanks for starting this threa

Baby, THAT SUCKED!

Wow...sounds like I should leave my discount ticket at the box office and go see Good People instead. I've never bought a ticket and then abandoned it, but considering I only come to NY once or twice a year to see theater, why waste my time and something so awful?!?!

Opening night tix for Blue Leaves
Mar 31
2011, 12:24:01 PM
I will be visiting NY when House of Blue Leaves opens on Monday April 25. As I have no other theater plans on Monday night I was going to try to go to see it, but Telecharge isn't selling tickets for opening night.
Any ideas if or how I can get tickets for opening night?

Play Recommendation
Mar 28
2011, 12:02:45 PM
So, I'm coming to NYC for my annual theater pilgrimage April 19-April 28 and I have tickets to 10 musicals (Baby It's You, Book of Mormon, People in the Picture, La Cage, Priscilla, Catch Me if You Can, Anything Goes, Wonderland, How to Succeed..., Sister Act) If you couldn't tell I'm mostly a musical theater guy, but I have gotten tix to every musical I haven't seen and have one slot to fill with a play.
I'm down to deciding between:
Good People
High
The MF with the Hat
