Been away so long, help us pick some shows for mid November visit
 Oct 29 2024, 11:44:23 AM

Oh Mary is pretty much sold out for our visit.  Just single seats.

 

Hills of California is high on the list, we love Jez.  Yellow Face looks good, too.

OH HELL YES!!

 

I just mentioned this show in another thread about what we should see next time we are in town.  Too bad we leave a few days before this event.

This is VERY helpful!  I had read about Oh Mary and that's as close to a definite as I can say now.

 

I'd love to travel with @Dan6!  Maybe I'll see you at the Geffen or La Mirada!

 

We will be back in April or May for another round.

Suffs is on our list. We saw the very first preview of Outsiders at La Jolla so don't need to see it again.  Our review was "needs work" and it seems to have gotten it, but neither of us thought it would be right for us even if it was it's best self.

 

Thanks for the suggestions, please keep them coming!

We moved to the west coast 2 years ago.  No longer are we able to see 20-25 shows on and Off Broadway like we used to.  We are doing the best we can out here (have tix for Fiddler with Jason Alexander, Mattress with Sutton, and Godot with Rainn Wilson and Aasif Mandvi) but it isn't the same thing.

To help guide you guide us, here are some of our recent shows as well as a short list of what we've liked the best in recent years:

Planning to see this in mid November, just went to look at tickets and HUGE availability, which surprised us based on the cast and how long since this has been on B'way.  I guess we wait for discounts?

 

We moved to SoCal 2 years ago and our Bway visits have dropped to one/year now.  We figured we'd see this in NYC and again in LA

VernonGersch said: "Excellent evening of a theater and a must see. One of my favorite shows in a while. Found Peter Morgan's play highly entertaining. Set and production design are top notch, vivid and bold (better than a few musicals I've seen this year). Michael Stuhlbarg and Will Keen are giving exceptional performances. Also Luke Thallon andAlex Hurt stand out in their roles as well.

Rupert Gold's direction is top notch.

Saw this two weeks ago, on the final Thursday. Got the last two tix at TKTS, second row of mezz.  Rest of mezz was screened off, not sure why they didn’t sell the whole space.

 

this was our first trip to NYC in 13 months. We moved to the west coast in late 2022, so our former Every Other Month visits are done for good.  We took a red eye on Wednesday and part of why we chose this show was we were staying downtown and it was close and started at 7 instead of

mentioning if you got 1 ticket, 2, or more might be useful data, as singletons can be in different areas that groups.

What how

Is it because James and Ladahlord are sometimes played by girls?

Is it even usually considered cross dressing for a girl to wear boys clothes????
"

It ought to be, if the folks doing the banning are serious about the reasons.


Which they aren&#

Speaking only for myself, I think the topic, as presented, is a non-starter. The answer is Yes. Now if someone (maybe you) started a thread called "How Do We Solve a Problem Like Florida?," there would be more to convo about.

Happy Pride Month!

 

How the hell did this drop to Page 4?

 

1000+ posts about the Wicked Films

Nearly 3000 about Chicago

1200 about Sweeney Todd

 

keeps those discussions on the front page.  Sure, important topics.   But this issue is going to bear on the lives of all of us, and perhaps the future of Broadway and theater in these United States.

Yes, this is harder than a Chicago and needs a better signer.  Of whom there are dozens of pop stars who were big names 5, 15, 25 years ago who'd be able to handle it just fine and might bring in their "stans"

Walking Out at Intermission - The Thread
 May 21 2023, 07:54:07 AM

Not broadway of course, but I walked out of a cover band performance in a theater yesterday.  They didn't look OR sound like the band, although they were talented musicians, but I was hoping for a "close your eyes and it sounds like them" experience.


The theater was near a beach and I decided that rather than sit another hour+ during the second act I'd rather get some fresh air at the beach.  Actually bumped into one of the performers on my dash to the
