Happy End Kaufman Music Center tonight

Nov 12, 2026 — 5:14:00 PM

Due to bad weather my flight got re-routed to Toronto this afternoon and we're sitting on the tarmac awaiting a decision. I've turned on private messages. If anyone wants my ticket to the Happy End concert at the Kaufmann Music Center at 7:30 tonight please send me a private message with your email & I'll forward the ticket.Edit - no charge. I'd just prefer it get used rather than go to waste. They say they'll try to get us back in the air once the ground stop ends. News says there was a torn...

Do you think it's less likely that Tony awards are 'bought and paid for' by production companies?"No, the Tony's are completely different. The Tony's are voted on by an incestuous pack of the absolute worst people, who use the awards to advance petty little grudges and make public insults. Eg: not nominating Lea Mich...

Tony Hale on Broadway seems like a big surprise.

Isn't McClure famous for living in Philadelphia & commuting back & forth to NY when he's in a show? Maybe he just isn't up for that right now?Also looks like he might have a recurring role on new TV show Cupertino.

Buying show tickets far in advance

Nov 8, 2026 — 8:13:03 AM

I also have been buying early for my next trip to NYC at Easter. Kind of crazy because I still have a few days to go before I leave for this year's visit. Some of the shows it just felt like I should secure seats early. I went with a cheap as possible for Warriors, even though I know sight lines might be bad. On the other hand I ponied up for a good orchestra seat to a preview of Paddington. I liked that ATG had something new - cancel for any reason insurance. I paid for that because who know...

I guess a lot of people didn’t like that, but I did."Well thanks to real heroes who fought slavery & oppression, America is now a country where you are free to be as bat sh!t crazy as you want to be. Usually people don't give 20k to nut jobs ranting on the sidewalk so they can mount a whole show.

After looking through listings of what the major art museums are showing this Autumn, I decided that I'll go to the Whitney one morning for their Roy Lichtenstein show. Hopefully will have ok weather and walk some of the High Line again.One of the Zwirner galleries is showing works by Japanese artist Yo****omo Zara, so will try to see that as well.I usually try to do at least one walking tour. I've done almost all the Broadway Up Close tours, and last year did a very good Harlem walking tour....

The other day I looked at the article on Playbill rounding up reviews, and after I read a couple I was glad I passed seeing on this. But, I have limited time in the city. Someone else might enjoy it.

Got my own flu & covid boosters last night (offered free where I live) to help mitigate against any potential I might get sick.After NYC heading to Washington DC for a few nights to see Nixon in China with Renée Fleming. Not much else theatre wise going on there that interests me. Will see a stand up show by Ilana Glazer. Then after my recent Vegas trip...
