Mother Play Partial View Orch Seats May 2
2024, 04:28:01 PM
There's a thread on seating for Mother Play specifically. Based on that and my own experience, be prepared to be thoroughly uncomfortable in the side orchestra seats at the Hayes unless you're under 5' tall and about 80 lbs max. (exaggerating, but seriously the most uncomfortable I've ever been in a B'way theater)

MOTHER PLAY seating question Apr 15
2024, 09:49:15 AM
We were G 4-6 in the right side orchestra. Ok sightlines and didn't miss much to the stage's side. However, I can't remember ever sitting so uncomfortably in a Broadway house. Super narrow seats, angled toward the left, neighbors with elbows right in our sides. Awful. Knew there wasn't an intermission, so I found myself praying for the show to end (despite liking it overall.) So, mostly liked the show, but worst "seating" experience in recent memory. Avoid

Disney Opening a new show at the New Amsterdam this September? Apr 10

Has Disney closed a show as reliably successful as Aladdin? Always seems to be in the $1.5-2m club each week.

Jennifer Lopez to Star in KISS OF THE SPIDER WOMAN Film Apr 9
2024, 03:53:41 PM
This is going to be super niche-y. Lopez' upcoming tour severely under-performing with lots of cancellations is showing her name/image alone isn't enough to guarantee success. The subject matter, supporting cast, musical-ness (sadly guessing it won't be marketed as a musical) are going to hindrances for sure. Will need a reasonable production budget and great reviews/word of mouth to make an impression and be a success -- but I'm def hoping for the best. Predict

Show That Have Sat Down Mar 25

BalconyClub said: "Chicago also had sit downs of Cats, Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat, Phantom of the Opera, Les Miserables, Miss Saigon, andRagtime.."
Forgot about Joseph! (despite the incessant 90s ads! haha) Are the others sit-downs or just longer tour stops? I may be unclear on what makes a sit-down production. I thought they were purpose-built open-ended productions vs. extended tour stops. (And the off-loop mentions were just local productions

Chicago had Wicked and Hamilton sit-down productions that both ran for many years. (An attempted Billy Elliot sit-down didn’t fare as well.)

Would seemingly be locked down by now, just maybe not shared with the public. Shooting was completed almost a year ago.

For most people, they’re spending a LOT of money for 2-3 hours at a show and want an idea if it’s worth it to them. So for those people, (who aren’t us who try to see most things, regardless) it really is like going to a fancy restaurant and wanting to see a menu beforehand to decide if it’s something they want to try."
Yup. I read a wh

Curious about running time reports. Listings/reviews in Chicago had it at about 2:10. Hoping to sprint from a 2pm matinee in a few weeks to a 5pm Oh Mary. (the 2.5 hrs mentioned here has me worried now haha)

Hilty & Simard to lead DEATH BECOMES HER in Chicago spring 2024 Mar 5
2024, 05:32:58 PM
Really curious about how they're gonna handle (or delete entirely) the "fat Helen" subplot where she eats her feelings "comically" in the movie. Can't see them doing a fat suit/makeup after the The Whale backlash w/Brendan Fraser (he got the Oscar despite it due to his "all-in" performance, but was dicey for a while.) Guessing "Hell" will be Agnes Gooch-level frumpy instead.

Thx, Effed! Have been stuck down by misunderstood running times and super-slow exiting patrons at least once

FORBIDDEN BROADWAY Coming to Broadway This Summer? Feb 28
2024, 06:55:54 PM
REALLY curious to see how this performs with summer & fall ticket buyers. Even with low-ish financial requirements, still seems like a gamble not being off-broadway somewhere smaller/more cabaret-like.

SUCCESSION Star Jeremy Strong Will Return to Broadway in AN ENEMY OF THE PEOPLE Feb 23

I'm still skeptical of Pedretti. All her work so far has been trash for teens and she was the weak link of a great ensemble on Origin. That said, the way they combined the daughter with the wife is a bit intriguing even if it falls into the "fridge women" trope."
Wha? Have you not seen any of her fantastic very non-teen-trash projects with Mike Flanagan on Netflix? :-O
