Back row @ Vivian Beaumont sound?
 Jan 19 2026, 10:32:02 PM

i sat in Row K orchestra and the sound was muffled/not great throughout, but that had nothing to do with seat location and i definitely think you would be fine soundwise (and sightwise, everything is center stage) from the loge.


Anyone know what Jordan Fisher is hinting at?

During an interview withHollywood Today Live, Jordan revealed his multi-ethnic background ofNigerian,Cambodian,English,Polynesian(Tahitian),[3]Italian,Greek, andScandinavianorigin.[4][5][6
"

Yes, his wikipedia bio suggests that he might be ok with the Outrage Police, who have yet to exactly reveal their policy on what is Acceptable Casting for Maybe Happy Ending and what is White Supremacy. So its unclear if his Cambodian and/or Tahitian heritage allows him to play a robot living in Korea. 

Id much rather see him in something new anyway (and as Kad points out, hes recording something, not rehearing something...)


Just in Time - Matt Morrison?

Wayman_Wong said: "''Bobby Darren--as portrayed here--was a horrible husband, father, and uninteresting, at best, person.''

If you can't even correctly spell the legendary, Grammy-winning subject of ''Just in Time'' - Bobby Darin - it's hardto take anything you have to say about his characterization or the show seriously, not to mention the name of its current performer, which is actually Magnusson, with two S's.

Just in Time - Matt Morrison?

audience was pretty full tonight, though at more reasonable prices (which is why we finally decided to go). 

Matt Magnuson has a wonderful voice and does a nice Groff impression, but I suspect theres an "it" factor missing without the star from the star vehicle. its a really silly, predictable and uninspired show, and im honestly shocked that the producers took such a gamble on Groff's name to sell this. Clearly paid off so what do i know?

Just weird that theyd announce 5/6 are leaving the show? Why would they keep ONE for another contract? Unless they think Kelsie is selling tickets, which I find very hard to believe?

Alot still works, and some of the design was lovely. But I guess what burst off the stage at City Center gets a bit swallowed up at Lincoln Center, and i was left cold(er).
"

Not trying to invalidate your opinion at all - but I think this may just be a symptom of seeing the show multiple times and becoming more familiar with it. I remember seeing it for the first

i was also there tonight.

i absolutely loved this at City Center- it was right after the election, and the last half hour of the show had me weeping. Uranowitz in particular was a revelation, and Henry, of course, and also Levy, brought the house down. Just marvelous performances bringing a creaky but sweeping piece to life.

Seeing it again now, it felt way creakier. The haphazard feel of City Centers helped the piece because once its more staged, and taken more seriously by the

With his wife next door, good for them.

But this feels sudden- was who was playing Hamilton yesterday?


Ragtime- Row E- (tomorrow 1/2/26 @ 2pm) for $150

Sorry I missed this

The Sunday matinees without Henry have cheaper availability but I am hoping to see him again- anyone have any experience sitting on the side orchestra seats (like O109/110 or M508/509 area)? I would imagine the views are fine from the sides and those seats are literally hundreds cheaper.


Scene at Mamma Mia!

this guy seems to lose it a little but he quickly calms down and hes of course 100% in the right. 

the real question is whether the house staff stepped in and told those woman to shut their mouths during the performance. ushers are understandably quick to police use of phones/recordings, but i wish theyd spend just as much time shutting down conversation and, lord help us, sing-along.

very curious why Dujonna didnt continue with the show to NY. The material with her online is quite good. 

I believe Phoenix Best is on again today, with Tutty.

that's what I'm leaning towards now. ticket sales for the week Groff is out isn't good. whoever they might have lined up might have fallen through, too.

when is groff scheduled to be out? Id see this with his understudy

When I saw Tutty was on, I was disappointed because I'd rather see a healthy understudy than a struggling actor battling through illness. i was wrong, because while Tutty did seem under the weather to me, he is so charming and uniquely suited to this character, that it was well worth an errant sniffle here and there.

this is a delightful show, with an act 1 that is much stronger tha

the post was distasteful, the comments here somehow blaming Jews for the fascists running the country were beyond offensive

but andrew fox's apology--the one i see now, dont know what else was said--is a full blown acceptance of responsibility. im not sure what more one could ask for?

and she will never even consider seeing that mental health professional so long as the choruses of sycophants continue to defend her and accuse everyone who disagrees with her delusions of being vile racists. shes been rewarded and lauded by "the community" for her despicable behavior thus far, why stop now?

this thread is obscene. an offensive post (and im fine debating the merits of that accusation) has yielded vile attempts to *blame Jews for not speaking up in sufficient numbers against Trump* when there is NO religious group more loudly against the regime, when Jews have been the VICTIMS of Trump supporters' violence, when you would NEVER demand Black Americans more loudly condemn Trump because of all the high profile African American supporters he has.

its their money, let them do what they want with it, glad some more people will be employed but

very hard to make any financial sense out of this whatsoever. a real indictment on the state of musical theater development.
