BAD CINDERELLA On Broadway - Reviews & News Thread May 12
2023, 11:08:26 AM
Has anyone seen this show this week? I'm thinking about grabbing a cheap ticket for the last row in the Mezz, and was wondering if they've been moving people forward because it's basically 75% empty up there right now for tonight's show.

THE NOTEBOOK Musical - News & Discussion Thread Oct 20

I went to Tuesday night's preview and will just add to the glowing reviews so far. This show and production is quite special, and it this show is in GREAT shape. I was especially taken with Young Noah and Allie - incredible chemistry. I thought the use of the three couples were expertly used (FINALLY), and thought the acting across the board was incredibly strong. The ending definitely packs a punch, and the orchestra sounds great. I thought the music really worked (though some of it soun

I was there that Sunday Easter matinee in the balcony, and it looked like the balcony was only 60-75% full.

A STRANGE LOOP On Broadway - News & Discussion Thread Apr 16
2022, 04:53:05 PM
Saw the matinee today - really thought this was an interesting and exciting show. However, my TDF seats were last row, house left, mezzanine, and the sound mixing was quite poor. It took me awhile to get into this, not because I wasn’t liking the material, but because I think I only caught 50% of the words. I felt bad when Usher would be singing but all I could really hear was the band and the Thoughts. Another poster mentioned the sound mixing too, and I’m hoping it gets worked o

POTUS: OR, BEHIND EVERY GREAT DUMBASS ARE SEVEN WOMEN TRYING TO KEEP HIM ALIVE Previews Apr 16
2022, 12:55:19 PM
Saw the show last night and had SO much fun. The play is quick, funny, silly, messy, poignant… I could go on! It wasn’t the tightest preview I’ve seen - some fumbling of lines, some slight tech moments that most probably didn’t catch. But the audience and I were laughing from the very first line, which sets up the tone of the evening perfectly!
The whole cast is strong but the stand out for me was Julie White - she has the most rounded character and her physica

Anything Goes - Bonnie vs. Erma Nov 22

I don't know the reason for the name change, however I wish there was a way to combine the both. I like Bonnie's song Heaven Hop, but I love Buddy Beware as well.

There is the "Optimistic Voices" from Ozplayed by the flutes or reeds during the section of "One Short Day" (So, I'll be back for good some day..."
Also, when *SPOILER* Fiyero comes out as the Scarecrow, the notes for "If I Only Had A Brain" are played."
I love that little nod to Optimistic Voices! It's more obvious in the Exit Music - https://youtu.be/2cpmazd6558?t=116

The Ferryman Lately Apr 28
2019, 02:36:07 PM
Has anyone been to The Ferryman lately and sat in the balcony? I'm looking at purchasing two tickets for next weekend and the balcony is pretty unsold... I'm wondering what are the chances that they're moving people down to the front of the balcony?

Those who are grabbing tickets for Oklahoma, Tootise, Beatlejuice, Be More Chill, etc, are you getting them from the TDF website or are those from the TKTS booth? I keep checking the TDF website but somehow missed ALL of those shows

I was at the invited dress as well and I also had a really fun time. Of course it was a room full of family and friends so the support was already in place, but I laughed and smiled a ton, and that alone felt great.

re: The 'Phantom' Chandelier Jun 3

I'm so glad old threads are getting revived because I'm seeing posts I made FOREVER ago that I completely forgot about haha.
So I first the national tour of Phantom in Buffalo probably around 2002 and was SO scared of the chandelier when it fell. And then I went to see Phantom on Broadway two weeks ago, and the chandelier crash was... disappointing. It's incredibly slow, it doesn't feel like there's even a chance for it to actually crash, and nobody around me seemed

Wasn't sure where else to post this, but did anyone notice Caissie wears an in ear monitor in her left ear? Saw the show Wednesday night and noticed it during Let It Go. That was the night her glove also didn't fly off stage (she tweeted about it), but I'm wondering more about why she has an in ear monitor opposed to everyone else.

Song of Spiderman is super interesting and hard to put down - definitely recommend it.
I read Michael Riedel's Razzle Dazzle this past winter break and really enjoyed it. All about the Schubert Organization and Foundation from their beginning days to now. Definitely a perspective you wouldn't think about as a regular theatergoer.
Definitely recommend Everything Was Possible by Ted Chapin. He was a PA on the original production of Follies. One of the best bway boo
