March 2026 trip - 9 shows in a week
Mar 25 2026, 09:19:17 AM
Sounds like it was a great week! Sounds to me like you saw the best of what's playing in New York right now. You're not opera goers so the hottest ticket in the city wouldn't have interested you - Lise Davidsen's Isolde at the Met. I made do listening the radio broadcast Saturday.

Curious how the tables by the DJ booth are as they don't seem to be priced extravagantly.

CATS: THE JELLICLE BALL Previews
Mar 19 2026, 09:49:19 AM
The Broadway Reddit has quite a few posts with photos from various spots in the theatre. My impressions from a quick skim through comments just now while on train into work is that it sounds like they made sure that the Mezzanine would have full views of the stage. In one comment about the on stage seating the poster said they spent a lot of time looking at the back of heads. People in the front orchestra were happy with their seats. People in the b

Solea Pfeiffer and Liisi LaFontaine to lead WANTED at the James Earl Jones this fall
Mar 18 2026, 09:49:09 AM
I booked cheapish airfare to NYC for Fall about a week before something happened causing oil prices to skyrocket. Now I just hope there will actually be 10 shows I want to see, because right now neither Wanted nor Galileo fit the bill.

Phantom4ever said: I am concerned about the dress code. I can't seem to get a clear explanation about if I can/should wear "regular" clothes like I do for Broadway shows."
I know this is now off the Timothy topic, but there's no dress code.
I'm back home in the cold this morning, but Saturday night I went to LA Opera and whoa! what a mix of dress. For such a short trip I was only packing carry on so just brought one pair of Ad

Alicia Keys' Broadway Bomb — Singing Sensation's Musical 'Loses a Staggering $8Million'
Mar 15 2026, 07:47:19 PM
Blaming HK for Suffs losing Best Musical is a stretch. I saw Suffs on tour & it put me to sleep. Outsiders takes a much loved property & cranks it to 11. A well deserved win.

Yes, if they had done something more real and not so trite they'd still be running. The lead character was so whiney & annoying wanting to rebel against her mom it made it hard to like.

Here Lies Love Mark Taper Forum
Mar 13 2026, 10:40:58 AM
Saw Here Lies Love at Mark Taper Forum last night.
First let me say, it's frigging 90 degrees in LA right now. That's almost the hottest it gets in Vancouver at the height of summer, so walking out of the airport yesterday morning was a slap in the face. I had a had a jacket and sweater on in the plane, so was right away stripping down outside on the sidewalk while waiting for the shuttle bus.
Back to HLL: this was my first time seeing any v

City Center’s 2026 Gala Production: IN THE HEIGHTS

ErmengardeStopSniveling said: "I’ve just been assuming revivals of IN THE HEIGHTS and RENT have been percolating -it’s not a matter of if but when."
I think Rent has aged similarly to how A Chorus Line has - neither feel timeless or have the same effect they did when they were new. They feel like time capsules.

Does it seem strange that Boop! isn't going to a lot of cities? It's scheduled for Las Vegas, but not LA or San Francisco. A lot of shows seem to do those three in some kind of order.

I bought them just for the sake of being about to say I spent $100 on Laurie Metcalf’s cans."
If there is any of her DNA on that can you could attempt to clone her.
I'm joking!

i went twice locally last month. Once to a professional production of Mozart's Cosi Fan Tutti, and then to a student production of Bernstein's Candide.

I don't think he'll get the Oscar anyways because the movie just wasn't very good. A few amusing moments, but a month after seeing it I don't think about it.
If I was a voter I would have voted for DiCaprio.

March trip - what do I need to get in advance?

While I will defer to my family on remaining shows, and there are discounts available, I have been less enthused aboutChessbecause I don’t like the songs I know as much as other people do and because the book seems kind of silly. I gather that the best way to enjoy the show is not to take it too seriously. Is it just kind of fun, with terrific vocals?
If you don't like the songs then I won't be able to sell you on it. &

I do think Chess was the best thing I saw last November out of 10 shows. I paid more to see Just in Time, but had a better time at Chess.

Interesting. Google & Wikipedia tell me that it is currently known as the Ricardo Montalbán Theatre. Also it was used as a filming location for Burlesque. If those walls could talk.

Yes probably a my typo. The listing I found was too hard to copy & paste from so I was retyping the info.
