Hotel recommendation for future trip Nov 21
2024, 09:20:21 PM
Stayed with some friends at the Rui Times Square (the one across from the Palace) last year and loved it. From location to the rooms. A lot of the reviews when I looked it up talk about long waits at the elevators but I never had that happen. The price we got at the time was also very reasonable.

SUNSET BLVD. Reviews Nov 21
2024, 09:04:43 PM
It appears that Nicole has added a vacation or another engagement in January. A friend bought tickets last night for January 10th (literally last night) and tonight he got a notice of a casting change. Looking at Seat Geek, she now appears to be out from January 8th thru the 12th. No one is listed as the cover so I don't know if it will be Mandy, the new standby, and understudy, or a combination of the three.

I’m saying the same thing about Sunset Boulevard I can get a house seat for $300 from someone or I risk and see what I can get from TKTS"

This. The literal unanimous positive and rave reviews give MHE a bit of an extra cushion and looking at the next few days of tickets for MHE and its looking like the reviews have had at the very least as short term impact. Will it be enough to take it to the spring? I don't know. But if I were Wonderful

Here is a video of someone that filmed it from outside posted on TikTok. They state in the description that Hell's Kitchen got out late. I mean it was bound to happen eventually. The other shows in the area can't/don't have to work around the walks timing.

Could've been half lighting but certainlyenough to see by and make your way out with no flashlights (and I specifically stayed behind to scout for abandoned playbills and I don't think I had trouble looking around while that was happening)"
I stayed and watched (and scouted bills) but from my vantage point just seeing the crush of people leaving through that stairwell, all I could

Saw the show last night, will comment on the show itself later but wanted to just say that the choice to not turn the lights on until after the "credits" needs to go. Very big safety hazard. I was seated above the entrance/exit in the mezz and the rush of people tripping and falling over one another in the darkness as one poor usher tried to illuminate the stairs with a little flash light looked like an accident waiting to happen.

Darren Criss and Helen J Shen Will Lead MAYBE HAPPY ENDING on Broadway Aug 15
2024, 11:04:43 PM
I've been hearing whispers from two different connections of a production not making it to opening over failing to secure the needed funds combined with a very poor advance. I just didn't know which one until, seemingly, now. Which is devastating because this and Death Becomes Her were/are my most anticipated fall shows.

Theatre "Influencers" May 1
2024, 05:20:12 PM
As someone that does follow a few of theater content creators... did you ever think that maybe what they are doing just isn't for you? And if it isn't for you than... you don't have to watch it? You can even block them and their content so you don't have to be so bothered by it. I follow some but I also have just as many (if not more) blocked because I don't like the content they are doing or the message(s) they are delivering.
Personally, I have found a numbe

InTheBathroom1 said: "Really puzzling to me how so many of the reviews mention them fixing the show since the Public run, but a week ago when I went, the show seemed virtually unchanged.
Unless I missed something. Is it just me?"
It's not just you. I have multi friends that saw it at both and have said the same thing that it's the same show that didn't change a single thing critics knocked it on the first time.

Once Upon A One More Time Cast Recording Mar 24
2024, 02:00:59 AM
Sadly I doubt we will ever get a cast recording and it is a crime we won't have "Toxic" recorded professionally. At least we have the music video of sorts for it to live on. The only chance I can see at some kind of recording would be if they are able to get it funded for a tour or licensed and want a recording to go with it to gain interest. Because the show will one day to great at a high school show. Really it's a perfect show for high schools. Large female focused ensemb

I'd certainly be interested in seeing its trajectory the next few months."
I'm not so sure about that. I saw the show a week and a half ago. At least 4 people in my area left at intermission never to return an

I feel like I've taken crazy pills or something. How... I.... I'm speechless. I saw Water for Elephants and The Notebook on the same day and if you told me then that one show was going to be given pans and one was gonna get praise I NEVER would have guessed it would be this.
And how Did They Like It grade some of these reviews as mixed when they are VERY clearly negative? This whole thing makes me feel like I've watched through the looking glass into Wonderland. Every

SMASH Reading Lottery Feb 9
2024, 09:50:37 PM
The show had me totally captivated yesterday... until the last 10 minutes. As a devoted fan of the TV series, I defend most of the changes made here from the TV show to the stage. As it stood yesterday, they try very early on to set itself apart from the TV series and make is clear that this is not going to be the same plot but keep little bits and pieces that will harken back to the series and it does, in my opinion, a very good job of it. Until... that last ten minutes. And then it's li

If it runs like telecharge lottos normally do, when you don't claim the ones you were offered, you will be put back into the draw for all OTHER dates and times you entered even though your 1st email says you lost the other dates and times.
Telecharge lottos you can only win one at a time. So just as an example from when I do a normal daily telecharge lotto with multi draw times. If I win at draw one, I am told I lost all the other shows I entered. If I take that ticket, I don't

I love how Smash unintentionally created the wildest social experiment in the theatre community without intending to do so. The reason there is no thread was that anyone that knew about it.... didn't say jack about it to increase their own chances of getting their name drawn. Sorry to gatekeep but somehow, anyone that knew about it collectively did so it seems.
To those that are just hearing about this now, last Thursday telecharge sent out a link to enter the chance to attend one
