Saw invited dress tonight, but keeping things to a minimum as procedure on here. No stops. Not a dumpster fire. It gave me chills to see it live for the first time. Nicolas Christopher is a star! Holy crap. I can’t wait to go back. Some quibbles, but I’ll keep that under my wig until tomorrow night.

More tomorrow, but that was PAINFUL. Major missed opportunity not giving Sofia a solo number. Also, were people paid for rapturous reception? Everyone around me was nonplussed.

We got free bananas afterwards...which ok?"
Why the bananas? Does he talk about fruit in his show?"
I am guessing he is playing on the term “second banana”. I’m seeing it tomorrow night (yes, it is heavily papered). Friends have seen it and really liked it, but I am dubious. I like him, but still don’t understand how thi

And a great WOW! I saw it last Wednesday after seeing the second preview. The nips and tucks were clear. I saw a much better show that is fun, poignant, and filled with life. So happy for the positive notices. It deserves it. Let those women have curves MAKE IT WORK!

Sadie Sink is exceptional, and has the most pivotal role (talk about an amazing entrance), but this really is a show where no one is the star. Everyone was *exceptional* and the play was thought-provoking, funny, moving, and still easily digestible. Get tickets now before they become as expensive as Othello's."

One of the best reviews ever wasn't for a show but for a restaurant that happened to be in Times Square.
Pete Wells of the NY Times reviewing Guy Fieri's restaurant in 2012. It is a long read but you won't be disappointed.

OhHiJohnny said: "Any thoughts on first two rows in terms of sight lines? They’re pretty heavily discounted normal seats, but I’d rather center than side if the sides are so obstructed, and orchestra than balcony if the front apron is obstructed.
But if the stage is obscenely high or another thing… gahhh why is it so hard to get cheap tickets that can actually see the damn thing?"
I can’t honestly speak to those rows as I was in G1

Musical adaptation of film SAFETY NOT GUARANTEED from Nick Blaemire and Ryan Miller (Guster) to premiere at BAM

More to come tomorrow, but I either saw a different show than most posters or they have done some work. The score and cast are amazing. Yes, the book and direction needs work, but I truly had fun. And was going in with low expectations tonight. It may never lift off further, but well worth the trip to BAM to see it.

That "artwork" is pretty darn awful. Also, is Katie Holmes not a draw anymore? Where is her name?

Feel stressed when arriving to the theatre?
Apr 23
2024, 07:35:44 PM
I go to a show about once a week. I arrive 10 minutes prior to curtain (knowing full well that that the show doesn’t go on until 5 minutes past the hour). I am usually coming from work, so I have a bag. Never issues even if they need to check my bag. I will never understand people lining up an hour before curtain. It disrupts no one and I’m not spending idle time sitting with my long legs.

Lincoln center will get a new leader

Broadway Flash said: "Yeah I’m sure new people went to the disco. How many of them purchased a ticket to the ny Phil afterwards?"
I mean, that is a good question. Assuming the summer events were ticketed (free or not), LC (should have) captured patron information to add to mailing lists and email blasts. With more modern programming at the Met, movies with a live orchestra, and programming at Jazz at LC, they may have been able to capture some

Broadway Flash said: "What does a dance party have to do with the programming at LC? I doubt summer in the city brought new people in. Probably people who either go to Lincoln center, or people who have never seen anything there and just wanted to dance. It was tacky and I hope they don’t do it again."
You contradicted yourself here. You doubt it brought new people in and then say it might have brought new people who have never seen anything then an

I found yesterday’s matinee (my second time) to be a far better experience than my first just under a month ago. This is for many of the reasons stated above. Perhaps my expectations were not so high the first time (one reason for not reading early reactions).
Yesterday, I found the show tighter, engaging, and the cast more invested. I don’t think this needs a transfer. It should be seen at The Shed. The creative team and cast delivered.

inception said: "I don't think this turned out to be a hot ticket, and they overpriced themselves. All these reports of people getting great seats through rush just makes me feel like a chump for buying early."
Agreed. I was amazed at the assigned seat via rush.
Also, if you download the inKind app you get $25 off a $75 tab at Little Spain. It seems like nothing, but it ain’t cheap there.

Maybe because it is a rainy day here in the city, but easily just snagged a center Row C single for the matinee today through TT rush for $40. It’s a $350 seat. Insane. I can’t wait to revisit this. So, don’t believe the caveat on TT that rush is partial view only. I’ve seen other posters have had similar luck too.
