hi Lempicka fans - Anyone know if Ms Espinoza went on Thurs evening? I stopped by the box office about 5pm and the friendly BO lady said she was scheduled to GO ON.  DID SHE?  How was she?  I ask because I have a friend in town and we have one slot left for Friday.  They only want to see this show on FRI 4/26 IF Ms. Espinoza is on.  NO understudies, THANKS for your info.

has anyone tried to get student rush tix for Mother? 2st sells student rush 2 hours before curtain. A student friend of mine did well with Appropriate and managed to get student rush one evening. Hoping we can get into Mother the same way.

Thank you thank you

Thanks for sharing your thoughts, MayAudraBlessYou2

in my experience paper is used to fill the audience so the production (actors, production staff, etc) can hone their show and make it better with a fuller audience.  I do understand usually paper is last minute and I try to keep a lot of flexibility in my schedule to allow for this.  And don't forget paper services rely on discretion though the producers cannot guarantee that people will not "gossip" It just seems odd to me that these shows IN PREVIEWS would rather play to a 40-50% house rather than offering some comps.  especially at critics performances.

I'm not a producer and I understand Broadway is a business, but still.  And yes I am looking for free shows. Everyone has the same access to papering services that I do. Sign up. pay a fee. check the web site throughout the day looking for interesting/compelling show offers.  I don't see this as being greedy at all.

 

 

Question and I know this is a dicey subject online.  But I belong to  a couple of subscription papering services and have been utterly shocked at the lack of offers for low attendance shows: e.g. Lempicka, Rock & Roll, Patriots, Suffs, even Water has some performances at 30-40% capacity.

Curious to know where you friends are getting their comps? is it a friends of the cast or community groups that are getting tickets? 

Thanks

 

Hi theater friends.  Anyone tried Chicago rush tickets with Jinkx Monsoon?  I see the show is selling fairly well last week (ending 1/15/23)  $627K and 91%. This was before Ms Monsoon  started on the 16th I believe. wowza!

I guess I'll just have to try.  Would love to see but won't splurge for full price... Any info is much appreciated.

Thx

Good News:
Dave Chappelle does have standing room if/when the show is sold out.  So far every night they have been sold out so odds are good.

Bad News:
Price is $75....  wowza. 

I'll think about it.  Stay cool

Alex Sharp's performance was too affected for you?  I'm sorry. He's playing a kid with severe asperger's syndrome.  Perhaps you don't know enough about that disease. 100% of his movements, thoughts, emotions, responses, reactions are spot on.  So your complaint is nonsense.

I would like to try for student rush tickets for The Visit this weekend. Most likely on Sunday.

Anyone have any insight as to how early people are lining up?  Just curious what time I should arrive.  For Noon box office on Sunday, is 10/10:30am arrival early enough?  Thanks
