Any Chess updates? (Or is that, basically, a dead idea, now?)


Gunshots/Pyrotechnics/Loud Noises in ALADDIN & THE OUTSIDERS
 Jun 24 2024, 05:24:09 PM

Thanks for the insight everyone!

As for Aladdin: I found a slime tutorial (LOL!) on YouTube & scanned it. - It seems like the only pyro is in the Friend Like Me song, and just about all of that is more or less silent (maybe little POPs). - Otherwise, standard thunder sounds effects and the like don't seem to worry me too much! 

As for The Outsiders: I don't mind an overall loud, intense fire scene. It's more the sudden and abrupt "jolt" that comes

I don’t understand these continued questions when the information is at your fingertips already. If you are that triggered, I would stay far away from The Outsiders."

Thanks for the insight.

I know this topic frustrates some on here. So, I'll ask for those people's understanding.

Any instances of gunshots/loud pyrotehnics or particuarly startling loud nosies in ALADDIN and THE OUTSIDERS?

I know Aladdin has some pyro in the "Friend Like Me" number & loud thunder sound effects, but I was hoping for more info on those scenes & the whole show. - Similarly, I know that there is a fire scene with pyro in The Ousiders? Anything else worth noting?<

Saw the show last night for the 2nd & unfortunately last time.

Please confirm one thing for me, so that I can truly feel like I'm not losing my mind: On stage, the lyrics for Don't Make Me Do It are, in fact, mostly different than what's sung on the cast album, right? - And, on top of that, like is the case with You Crack Me Up, just about all of the lyrics are different than the origial Huey Leiws song.

....or am I missing something? HAHAHA!

I just saw that Huey is going to be on the Drew Barrymore Show, tomorrow, to promote the musical.

Would they really pull the plug in the next few days, if Huey's still doing press on shows like Drew's? (Not that I'm arguing with everyone's gross data & reasoning for an imminenet closing notice.)

What does everyone think, now that the reviews have come out?

Will the show run for a short while, or is it still likely to announce a closing, any day now? 

Most importantly, considering that I have a ticket for the Saturday, June 1st performance, should I be checking my calendar for open days, before then? HAHAHA!

Personally, I had tickets to Ain’t Too Proud I had to exchange as I had an endoscopy ending up on the same day (and they say do nothing for 24 hours after anesthesia). I was so happy I could

I exchanged a ticket that was Rear Mezz, Row A, Seat 101 for a Front Mezz, Row C, Seat 111 ticket.

Safe to say that the new seat will offer a much better view of the action?

I usually try to be as central as possible. But, in this case, given all the dicussion about heads being cut off in the studio space, I opted to sit a little off-center, so I could be a row closer.

Did you get the ticket? HAHAHA!

NO JOKE, that was my ticket!!! - Earlier today, I exchanged the ticket for a May 11th one, since a family event popped up. (Thank to this board, I became aware of that fact that ticket exchanges were ev

I really really liked this show. I believed every character. I thought the script was complex and layered and fascinating. The music is phenomenal. The pacing dragged a smidgen after intermission, but not en

A small part of me thinks that this show could end up being like The Little Engine That Could...or Rudolph The Red-Nosed Reindeer...aka the show that was picked on & belittled until everyone realized they needed/wanted it, resulting in it exceding everyone's expectations.

Does that mean that negative press/reviews will be weeded out (thus, kinda making the reviews worthless, overall)?

update: I exchanged for front mezz row B that brought the ticket from 40 to 120, but I’m really excited for this show so it wasn’t worth the risk I guess

I took a photo from the playbill:

WOW! - Thanks, Wick3.

There are some really great, deep cuts in the show: Don't Make Me Do It, I Know What I Like, I Never Walk Alone (one of my personal favorites), and Giving It All Up For Love (which I think was originally titled "Tattoo" on the record & written by Thin Lizzy's Phill Lynott, a personal friend of Huey.)

Just wonderful work, unless Mother Play ends up being a huge homerun I think this play has Best Play locked up, the audience was just super tuned in.

I would caution people not to sit in the rear mezz, it is obstructed and the higher up you sit the more of the rec
