Profile for FANtomFollies

I would do Row B orchestra. I sat 4th row in London and am doing the same for the Broadway run. Seeing Nicole that close was incredible and I feel like I still got the full impact of the lighting and video.

1. Sunset Blvd.

2. Gypsy

3. Death Becomes Her

Show I know nothing about: Eureka Day

You guys know you don't have to take the bait from Broadway Flash, right? It's completely possible to just ignore the nonsense and keep it moving.

I know at some point someone said the ads in the city were just the red text on a black background, but that isn't true for all the ads. Saw this at a subway station in Brooklyn -

How can you call this more complete? It seemslikely to be the complete show as performed in this production but this production doesn't use"The Lady's Paying" or"Eternal Youth."

Honestly I completely forgot about those songs.

 

This looks like it will be the most complete recording of the show yet. Love how many tracks this is split into. While I love recordings that include scenes and/or dialogue, I really love when they are separate tracks. What is usually one long track for 'the Final Scene' is now 3 tracks. Amazing. And love that they are including the exit music.

'Elsbeth' had many - including Laura Benanti, Jesse Tyler Ferguson, Linda Lavin and Andre DeShields. It's not groundbreaking but it's a cute cozy murder.

Now that the whole cast has been announced, do we know who will understudy the roles of Joe, Max and Betty?

It seems like in the 1990's Remastered recordings for Broadway shows were very common, I wondered why they are no longer 'a thing' when I'm sure current audio technology could really make a huge difference?

As a related question, which remastered recording do you think made the most drastic improvement from the original recording?

I'll also add I saw Leona Lewis and found her performance to be no better than Chasity Moore's. Part of the problem may be that we've all heard so many incredible versions of that song so the bar is just set so high. To hear it sung by even a very good singer is probably going to be disappointing to my ear. I want to hear an insane vocal talent - someone on the level of Heather Headley.

I've never done rush through Today Tix, did you know your seat location before you purchased? And where was your seat located?

I thought AFW officially retired from the show? Do they really not have an understudy that could cover the role temporarily?

TheatreFan4 said: "the audience for Moana and the audience for Cabaret are two circles that so briskly touch each other they may as well have not."

If you think there isn't a huge audience that loves both Broadway and Disney you are so wrong. 

Has a lottery or rush been announced for this? I'd like to see it but want to spend as little as possible.

Yep the site is just terrible now. I wish they would do something similar to the format Today Tix uses. Color coded seats that correspond to prices. You don't even really need to zoom at all because you can see at once easily what seats are still available and how much they cost. 

Does anyone know how long the current cast is planning on staying on Broadway? I'm thinking of going in late September and am hoping the cast is the same.

New look at the Majestic renovation.
