Profile for inception

After this & Here Lies Love maybe marketing teams should pass on using disco balls in their marketing campaigns.  It doesn't seem to be the draw they think it is.

I'd like somebody to write a show for Barrett Wilbert Weed & Idina Menzel. 

I had a very basic idea that anyone could please use where they are now adult sisters who have some kind of issues going back to when they were growing up?  I don't know, just think it would be interesting to have some songs written for them to duet on.

I have a ticket for November.  But I'll be in Toronto at the end of the month.  I just priced out making some changes to my trip - leaving T.O. early & flying to NYC for 2 nights and then returning to Vancouver direct on United from Newark.  It adds about an extra 1K CAN$ to my vacation before I've even bought show tckets.  Unfortunately not in my budget.  If it closes & I didn't get to see it c'est la vie.

Does anyone else keep getting a system error whenever you try to check out?

Edit: tried with a different phone and got it to work

Edit 2: might make for too play heavy a day, but all that worked for me was a Wednesday evening when I'm seeing Much Ado for the matinee that day.

Welcome.  Yes that's member pricing.  They sent out an email last week with prices.   Previews in October are about $10 cheaper - again member pricing.

You're predicting the weekend before Easter?

I mean anything could happen. This really seems like the craziest news I've read in a long time.  Whose money are they playing with?  I wouldn't have confidence in these producers.

Waitress has been quite popular in North America.   It toured and then lots of regional theatres put on their own productions once rights were released. I think this says more about how the producers in Australia were financing this than its appeal to an audience. 

Re Nick Jonas: I guess someone needs to tell Schick and Walmart that he's not a star. I just walked into my local Walmart & they'll be so embarrassed that they put up these massive posters of Jonas advertising razor blades 

How does she like her ice cream?

People on All that Chat are saying the membership is now tiered with different categories depending on whether you wish to see Broadway or off-Broadway shows or both.

I don't know? My membership was up for renewal this month & I just did it this morning, and I had only one option for $55+change

 

Also does anyone else think it's strange that announced dates,  but then were like tickets on sale in 4 months.  Actually a little grateful. Just last week in the Paddington thread I said that I hoped it started by Easter when I've committed to a trip.

Lin is going to cause a huge advance but this is not a show you will be able to take familes or school groups to and is based on a cult film and the weekly run cost is going to be absurd."

Nah.  School group revenue is so important that I can't see them purposely creating a show that they couldn't sell to that group.  In 2024 when I did matinees of Outsiders & Grea

Just looked at the season announcement email and noticed that they have opened up membership again.  I seem to remember that last year it wassn't open when they announced Ragtime.  If you're too old for the other ticket iniatives, membership is a good option as it gives you priority access to very good orchestra seats at a reasonable price.

Yes.  People - including other women - seems to be making complaints that they wouldn't be making if she were a man.

Thanks for the article.  If I was on the East Coadt I would definitely try to see that production of City of Angels.

I won't have time this year to go up to Utah from Las Vegas, and will be there a week after both of the Utah Shakespeare's musicals end their runs this year.  But will keep watch on what they & Tuacahn schedule for next year.  An easy drive about 3 hours from Vegas & a totally different vibe.  Put them on your bucket list!  E

I keep getting ads for this show on Instagram even though I'm on the West Coast. It says something like strictly limited 8 week run.  I might be tempted if it  extends & runs longer.  But I wonder how good their ticket sales actually are?

I'm waiting for the announcement tomorrow to decide if I'm renewing my membership.  I'm not super stoked for either rumored production, and even though I said I don't need to see SOM again, if it is scheduled to run during my recently planned Easter trip I probably would get a member ticket because how can I turn down such a good pricing opportunity for an excellent orchestra seat?  The show is a big ball of cheese, but the score has some undeniable bangers.

It doesn't look like any of the cast is "above the title," so they likely won't refund if a cast member is out.  But someone else might have more info.

I only am familiar with George Hearn's Tony performance where he's in a suit for the song.  His vocals in that recording are amazing.

I'm curious if there is much effect to Manhattan as the games are over in New Jersey.

Here in Vancouver it is taking place at a stadium right downtown,  a few blocks my work.  For security whole streets have been blocked off for the duration of the games even though there are a few days between each match.  This coming week will be interesting as there will be a game midweek that starts at Noon.  The building I work at has hired extra security guards, &
