You don't need to put "review" in scare quotes. There's nothing nasty about it and it is completely appropriate. J squared doesn't contribute anything of note to this board (just vitriolic pedantry) so maybe you are the one who should take a break.

Henny unless your name is Dot you do not need to be telling anyone to "move on." We're musical theater nerds. We still haven't moved on from CARRIE (1987).

Jordan Catalano said: "Have tickets ever been as expensive as they are for Bowen? $120 for obstructed viewbalcony is kind of insane." I like Yang and I love this show but I'm not paying $120 for partial view, even though you don't miss much.

The Distinctive Baritone said: "Yeah well, people have said far worse things on this board. I’ve been here a long time and seen some reallymean stuff.Anyway, I hope she gets the help she needs (and that certain members of this board do too)."It's true that this board is filled with nuts but you getting called out for your insane posts on this thread is 100% appropriate.

Congratulations to QuizKing! Thank you for advocating for art.

I have been hoping for a gender swapped FIORELLO! with September for years.

Hopefully FIORELLO!.

We need a Fiorello! revival first.

John Adams said: ". I have no desire to spend money to be in the audience, nor do I feel ANY need to be.Those who need or insist that I feel as they do (and are ANGRED that I’m not, or don’t) aren’t worth my time. Why bother sharing that you have no desire to see this? And no one here is insisting that you feel the same way they do. I doubt anyone minds that you aren't into this show.

Jay Lerner-Z said: "He's a Lord, not a Sir. Or a Baron. Sir is lowly, he was in the House of Lords. As a conservative, who don’t respond favorably to pleas like this." He says his full title (which he doesn't expect anyone to use,) is Sir Andrew, Lord Lloyd Webber.

Mezzo D, your attitude is nasty and your "contributions" are unnecessary. Quiz king is an asset to this board, unlike you.

Maybe that audience had already seen it downtown? I just don't think there was a "hunger" for this title (reimagined or not) like there was with Gypsy, Chess, Sunset, etc."Maybe, but those all lost money too."As I posted, they didn't recoup but still had great sales in the beginning.

JSquared2 said: "darquegk said: "I’ve said for years if he wanted a role that fits his type and could get him some acclaim, Jessup in A Few Good Men is literally made for him."Considering that A FEW GOOD MEN opened on Broadway in 1989, when Johnson would have been around 16 years old, I'm pretty sure that the role was not "literally" made for him!" Did posting this response make you feel like you did something???

John Adams said: "quizking101 said: "[...] considering some people might mourn a show they won’t be able to see, I figure this might motivate some people to go if they can, should I be correct."So, that's the "panic run on ticket sales" I described in Post #21.The purpose of your post is in the hope that your post will make that scenario a reality?" Sit down, John, you're a bore and we've heard this before.

Seems silly that they wouldn't seeing its free advice from the audience you want to win over."I don't know. We're a very small sample of essentially anonymous names lacking any of the usual demographic information upon which decisions might commonly be made. They might find useful anecdotal information here that they could run through their own decision-making filters, but as has bee...

Matt Rogers said: "GirlFromOz68 said: "the prices for Chess this week were back to where they were early in the run and it was hardly surprising they were going to capitalise on people who wanted to see the show one more time before it closed."No sh*t Sherlock. I’m just disappointed that I didn’t get to see it one more time because I’m not paying over $200 for a $79 seat. But good for them for finding suckers willing to do so." You are starting to sound like America's Sweetheart.

UWS10023 said: I doubt Billy has any more interest in the demands of Broadway. And as for Lincoln Center, word around my UWS neighborhood is that a Shakespeare play is being mounted after Ragtime closes. You heard it here." In the sense that Sorkin is the American Shakespeare, sure.

I treasure the video of Jessye as Sieglinde. O hehrstes Wunder!
