I was there last night as well. I thought it was a powerful production with several memorable performances, enjoyable and occasionally thrilling choreography, and a strong score, that was let down by a weak script. There were too many plot points that felt either cringey or false. I don't want to fill the thread with spoilers, so I'll focus on the one I can't get past.

The ironic thing is Cabaret tells you to come early for the pre-show entertainment, which I couldn't care less about, but you really should go early to Illinoise to have time to read the journal."
Is there a copy of the journal available online? I’d love to digest it before heading to the th

Appreciate the quick reply, and thankful for great seats at a very reasonable price!
I'm looking forward to seeing this in May based on all the positive recommendations in this thread. Can someone please explain why seats in row M are $244 each while seats in the very next row are only $99 a piece. Is there a mezzanine overhang blocking the view? Bedbug infestation? Guarantee of Marge Simpson hairdo directly in front? Thanks.

And Malala. What a pair! My respect for the production grew exponentially when I heard who would be producing.
The OBC’s of Evita and Sunday in the Park with George. I’ll leave it up to Mandy Patinkin to negotiate starring in two major musicals at the same time.
Honorable Mention to the OBC’s of Dreamgirls and Come From Away, each thrilling in very different ways.
In between I would eat at Zen Palate, the wonderful Asian vegan restaurant in the theater district that is no longer around. Loved that place. Big loss when it closed. <

So was that an intentional "stunt" or a mistyped "stint"? The power of one vowel to change the entire meaning.

That’s what seems so silly about this solution. Anyone hell bent on taking pictures and/or recording is going to pull off the tape. Anyone concerned about leaving residue on their phone is going to remove the tape. Anyone oblivious to this entire conversation is going to take their phone home and be pissed when they realize the after

Interesting Can you explain the differences in what performers might want to hear?
I have enjoyed Andre De Shields on stage in starring and featured roles for 45 years. He's brought a brilliant cocktail of class and sensuality to every part he's played. He gets my vote.

I personally only listed my tickets once i was able to immediately transfer. Stubhub works the same. You need to upload a pdf file of your ticket or transfer it directly to the buyer via email. Stubhub doesn't handle everything. You still must directly contact a buyer for some tickets
Hey all - can someone please explain the process by which we sell shows on Theatr? I see that I list ticket details and wait for notification that they were (hopefully) sold. If I am selling a ticket purchased from Telecharge that won’t be issued to me until two weeks before the show, what happens between now and the date I receive the tickets? Does the buyer pay me or the service? Why would they risk paying a stranger for something that can’t be consummate
Kad said: "Her being involved does not preclude her placing restrictions on how the production can use the artwork. Since the paintings aren’t being featured in ads or on merchandise, it’s not a leap to assume such restrictions may exist."
One day history will recognize this as the missed marketing opportunity that proved fatal to the production. For the majority of us who recognize the artwork but not the artist, and hear "Lempicka" and t
I started a similar thread a few weeks ago and got a lot of helpful advice. Here’s a reply from Broadway Bob that steered me toward all available options. May be helpful to you as well.
