Really looking forward to seeing this.  

As we all know, once film rights are bought and sold, all bets are off.  Unless it's in the terms of the contract that all the songs have to remain, no changes can be made, etc, then it's complete open season for changes.  "Cabaret" is the perfect example.  

Just got an AR ticket for "Boop! The Musical" for the end of May - side Orchestra, row L, seat 2, right on the aisle.  :)  

Yes, I did see Terrace boxes are available.  I prefer the Garden Boxes.  :)  

Thanks for the update.  Had no idea he was coming back to The Hollywood Bowl.  Have tickets for him at Radio City over Memorial Day weekend.  I'll keep checking closer to opening night for box seats to open up when subscribers return them and grab them.  :)  

Penna2 said: "For those who didn't see the earlier announcement: her father-in-law died. That's why she is out."

Yes, those performances are this weekend - not yesterday and today.  

 

Audra will be out for today's matinee, 2/19.  Nothing has been announced yet about this evening's performance.  

Romer's is the former Hampton Inn.  Stayed there many times when it was a Hampton, as I'm a loyal Hilton HHonors Diamond member.  The rooms are very big and spacious, and I would always request a room not facing 8th Avenue.  The rooms that face the opposite are very quiet.  Hopefully when the hotel was rebranded and renovated, the size of the rooms didn't change.  

I was able to exchange my AR tickets on 2 separate occasions over the years, by calling their Customer Service phone number.  This was before my trips to NYC.  In speaking to the rep on the phone, he told me that the box office isn't able to do any exchanges.  It's only on the phone.  It was a number of years ago, and I assume the same policy is in place.  

Would love to see a revival of BLWIT.  I've never seen it as it's so rarely done.  Timing is everything when it comes to Broadway shows.  

BrodyFosse123 and BRJ, it was interesting when Michael F said that Liza rarely speaks of her relationships, and keeps it private.  Could be why she has a standard response.  Never knew that David G took everything when they divoriced.  It was a funny moment when Liza was with Michele Lee, and she said something to the effect of Liza's husbands never being men, and they all laughed.  

TheatreMonkey, you're not the only one who has said that - about the truth.  What is Liza not telling the truth about?  The few that have commented, haven't explained what isn't truthful.  Do you know?  

Saw the film last week at the Laemelle Glendale and really, really enjoyed it.  So great to see so much archival footage from back when that wasn't the norm, like it is now.  Will see it again this weekend.  

And, even better news to find out that it will air on PBS on April 1st.

I'm still here, and joined in 2005 and have loved every minute of it since.  

I met WithoutATrace shortly after joining the site on one of my trips to NYC, and we have been good friends ever since, and always get together when I'm in NYC.   

I remember this thread from back in 2008.  Nice to see it being refreshed as this is always an ongoing issue when theatre goers don't turn their phone off.  Don't put it on silent, or airplane mode.  Just turn it off.  

It's never happened to me as I don't have a cell phone.  :)  

Kelli is fantastic in concert!  So incredibly talented. Thanks for posting your review and set list.  I was torn between seeing her again last night, or seeing Eva Noblezada at The Soraya in Northridge.  I opt'd for Eva.  

By the way, Kelli's concert was at The Dorothy Chandler Pavillion. 

East Side Story, oh wow.  I haven't seen it yet, as I'll be seeing the doc on Friday of next week.  Did you see it?  Does she lie about certain events?  

Really looking forward to seeing it next week.  Can't wait!

Can't wait to see this.  It will be near me at The Laemmle in Glendale next week.
