This seems like it was just generally some really misguided producing. This did not sell well in Chicago and did not sell well in Australia. Additionally, they took a very small production that thrived on its intimacy and blew it up to a mostly standard proscenium production and didn't effectively adjust its scope or scale. Just sort of wrong at every turn. It's sad because the parts that worked in Chicago really worked. Unfortunately, that was only about 15 minutes but you could real

The whole experience is terrible. The seats are too small, the drinks are hilariously overpriced, the sightlines can be unpredictable from production to production, you're herded in like cattle at the last minute, callouts feel more frequent and are often shrouded in mystery, and it all costs a fortune. The audience being atrocious is a factor... but it's part of a larger whole. While we can demonize the audiences (and maybe we should), it's clear most producers and presenters spe

"Excuse my ignorance but why are tix general admission? Is it immersive like Masquerade or just first-come, first-served seating? There's 0 information given on the website or press release in this regard."

First of all, calm down. We'll get through this together. 

Second: "will transform House of the Redeemer... exclusively 100 guests per night... just feet from the action in a beautifully appointed library which was transported floorb

"All because the cities are getting out of control and no matter the color or the mayor, they can’t maintain any decent conduct under their watch. 

But yes let’s be nice and kind to everyone, while people and property get unlawfully harmed by the innocent perpetrators. Feelings are important. "

If it that was true, why not start with the most violent cities in America? LA and Chicago aren't even in the top 15. This whole thing is all a

"Did anyone else see Bug off broadway 20 something years ago?  It was totally forgettable." 

While I think that we can go back and forth about the quality of the writing in Bug... it's shaken me to my core that someone has described it as "totally forgettable." 

The graphic violence. The lengthy full nudity. The scene change at intermission. The dynamite performance of Shannon Cochran and  the star-making performance of Michael Sh

If you wanna see the show, 154$ seems fairly reasonable. Everything is so expensive I'd gladly pay that to see a swell show. Just last week, I started the early stages of planning my yearly trip to New York over Thanksgiving and I simply can't justify it. Chess and Ragtime tickets are really too high for me to be able to afford it anymore. Our last trip we paid about 200-250$ a ticket for standard seats. For years we were able to get ample discounts for buying so far in advance but th

See, don't get me wrong; this absolutely looks fun, but is it just re-heating the last Pippin revival's Nachos? Complete with hoisting your elderly character into the air on a Trapeze?

Yes. But it's not like that production of Pippin was the first time anyone ever added circus elements to a show. And when you decide to go circus... it's all gonna kinda look the same, no? This Cats looks as much like the Pippin revival as the Pippin revival looked like the origi

"Theatre is not about judging your audience members."

While I normally think this is correct, theater for all should be the goal, this fella is actively defunding theater across America. This is not a political theory, not his "deeply held belief," not a personality clash... theaters all across the country have actively had their funding pulled just this week. And it's still ongoing. An active protest for current, ongoing activity that the folks in the audi

"43% of this year's acting nominees are people of color.  I think that's the most in Tony history but we have to do better next year."

That's a high percentage considering a much smaller percentage of roles went to people of color. For us to "do better," more roles have to be available and given to people of color. This only proves that people of color succeed when given the opportunity.

Yes exactly. This kind of thinking is so m
