Broadway Grosses: Week Ending 1/5/25
 Jan 7 2025, 01:15:31 PM

Is it still showing for the week ending 12/29 for anyone else, or just me?

Christmas was on Wednesday. Desire to consume Christmas-themed content usually dips significantly afterwards.  Their seating charts look empty this week.

I sat in the second to last row.  You’ll see everything perfectly (except for one spoiler-ish lighting effect)

Decided to catch this again last night.  Undeniably one of the most beautiful shows I’ve seen in ages.  We’re so lucky to have this on broadway right now.

Well, add me to the chorus of people who found this utterly and completely charming.  It’s also visually stunning.  I do fear that it won’t be able to find an audience, but I’ll keep my fingers crossed.

The presale code is orchestra for anyone who is curious.

I love Tunick and he's perhaps the greatest orchestratorin the history of Broadway, but maybe he at 86 shouldn't be the one conducting this. Obviously he'

Yes, full show was performed, including Silly People , which is wisely cut from the show normally.

Will try to be succinct and not rude 

- the new orchestrations were ..unnecessary? They weren’t entirely different (though the French horns and trumpets were curiously missing at the end of weekend in the country). However, the tempi were SO slow.  Songs were dragging like crazy. 
- I realize it’s a concert, and it’s Sondheim, but a TON of lines were dropped, cues missed, lyrics jumbled etc…

I don’t post here much anymore. I always try to be kind and understanding for the artists and performers, but frankly, somehow my already in-the-basement expectations for this concert were too high for what I witnessed this evening.

Very sad news.  I saw him twice as Sweeney at city opera 20 years ago.  To this day, he’s been my absolute favorite in the role that I’ve seen live.  Tremendous performance.

Do you know if any of his other songs had the key raised ? I imagine so since epiphany was higher. I can’t imagine him singing barber and his wife in the original key.

I assume this means The Minstrel, the Jester, and I has been cut.

Harriet Harris as Queen Aggravain. Terrific addition to the cast.

The majority of the market for those shows right now (nyc locals/bridge & tunnel) were out of town last week or busy for the holiday and they are not tourist friendly titles or shows. The big, fully tourist-dependent shows all did terrifically last week.  This past week, things were back to “normal.”
