Just curious if anyone has gotten tickets from TKTS and where they may be? Going to see it in March and not sure whether to buy ahead or wait til closer. hard to imagine tickets getting snatched up at the top price. or is box office the day of a better bet? i am willing to pay for good closer seats but not 300 plus. thanks for any information.

Groban & Ashford in SWEENEY TODD On Broadway

I saw this on Saturday night. It was exceptional. I was in Center Orchestra Row B, and though the back stage was hard to see, as was their feet lol, it was a phenominal seat to see their faces and hear the orchestra throughout the show. Everyone was superb, and as the show neared its end, Mrs Lovett was not getting laughs but a sense of dread did creep into it all--very chilling. I thought it was amazing. There was no "Break" in character during priest song as some have said.&

I got to see her in many productions at the Stratford Festival in Canada--a remarkable production of The Bacchae--and my first broadway show was Into The Woods where she made me laugh so much with her delivery--and whenever i see a production of ITW few laugh at some the lines she had the audience laughing and applauding, e.g. the Baker's Wife says "I don't have children" and she said "that's OK too" and we all laughed and clapped. I loved her.

It was just the end while they were on the floor (stage) but you know what’s going on and it didn’t last long. We did not have to crane our necks and we’re short. The sound was fine and the orchestra wasn’t overpowering then because we were in B. Lastly, no one tall can block you since the s

So is it okay for audience members to sing along during musicals?
May 20

Isn't it True That Bruce Springsteen would stop when he started a song, and if the audience started singing along, and say "I got this" ? So i guess an announcement is the best way to go--even though often times some don't listen to the turn off cell phones etc.

HADESTOWN SEATING?
Mar 31
2019, 09:13:38 AM
I was there last night (saturday) and was in 2nd row orchestra. On aisle. Needless to say it was perfect. Front row seats are not the high premium because stage is a bit higher and those sitting there were having to look up. I imagine the view of feet was cut off. 2nd row saw feet but not stage floor. So much us played to middle hermes is mostly stage left when watching. Orpheus mostly stage right. Awesome show and was sold out. Noted in other thread but he

Waverly Gallery or The Ferryman?
Jan 17
2019, 08:48:22 AM
Wick3 said: "I didnt realize Waverly was a revival! Then yes I think both plays have a good shot in their respective categories.
Just a note that Ferryman has extended to July but keep in mind the British/Irish cast is leaving Feb 17th and being replaced by mostly an American cast.
Waverley Gallery is easier to understand given the setting is in NYC and all of the characters speak with an American accent.
The Ferryman is set in Northern Ireland and though

The Ferryman seating question

Thank you for the insights. i figured on far right you might miss Aunt Pat but it makes sense that the upper staircase is blocked. great advice--as much as i loved row two i do believe a little distance by a couple of rows will help because the stage is so deep. but i agree a great show and i am looking forward to seeing it again in February.

Thanks JayElle--I agree with the lack of leg room. I think the first row is a bit close. just wish they offered some of the center orchestra that is not premium. can't imagine they are sold out of those already. wish i knew how to get some of those seats. maybe they release them later. anyone else sit house right near the wall and what is the view? Thanks again

I got to see it last week and we sat 2nd row, house left and it was a great seat. the row just behind us was premium (we paid regular price) and there just can't be any difference--except they have to make some premium i guess. I noticed all first row premium center orchestra are less than 2nd row premium orchestra. I have a question--has anyone sat house right in front row (which are only 89.00) or further back but near the wall--all are slightly less than those closest

Has anyone, by chance, sat in the first row for this show? I am planning on going in November and was wondering if it is worth paying extra and sitting in the front. It is Premium but 50 less than the premium cost in second row. I saw The Color Purple in the front row and loved it.

This is half the price of a standard ticket for both parts. Anyoneelse with such a story? cant imagine why it would be sold a
