"

This is my answer. I really enjoyed Gyllenhaal’s performance. I never say this but GNaGL was kind of boring. Even when a show isn’t working for me, I’m rarely bored. I sat in mezz row A and felt so far removed from the action. If you’re in the orchestra, it might work better for you. Still fun to see Cl

I sat at a table for both shows. Lady Day used high tables, spaced further apart. The floor area seemed larger and more spacious. JIT-the tables and low and closer together. The floor area felt smaller overall. The people in the front rows by the tables couldn

Wow. Wow. Wow. Sarah Snook is a powerhouse. Just engrave the Tony now. (I’ve never seen Succession and didn’t know who she was prior to this show.) Can’t believe she has to do it all again tonight. I loved this. I thought the visuals were just so cool. Watching her interact with the other characters at the long table may have been my favorite part. Absolutely unlike anything I’ve ever seen. I loved everything about this. 
 

I’m 99% sure I sa

I don’t have much to add, but I saw the matinee today.  Here’s my two cents. 
It was overwhelmingly fine. I was surprised there was so much humor in it. I took a few Shakespeare classes in college, and although that was many years ago, I don’t remember Othello being funny.  

With all the talk of mumbling in this thread, I worried that I wouldn’t understand DW. I understood him just fine.  I’m pretty far removed from my col

Please know that I try to be the very best audience member. I don’t eat during shows or talk. I barely adjust my position. I try to disappear.

I never forgot to turn off my phone, but I didn’t know about the theater setting on Apple Watch. Ok, so I saw “Merrily” early in its run. The man beside me asked me to turn off my watch. I didn’t realize it was lighting up. I didn’t know about the theater setting so I just took it off. I was so embarr

If anyone could help me, I’d really appreciate it.

My dad got me a gift certificate for Ticket Master for Xmas. I wish he asked me- I would have suggested Telecharge (or cash). Anyway, when I purchase tickets, I always go to the official show site, which usually takes me to Telecharge. I was considering seeing Our Town. The official website takes me to Telecharge to buy tickets.  When I go directly to the Ticketmaster site, it says it also has tickets to

I’m most intrigued by Dead Outlaw. That was not on my radar when it was Off Broadway. It looks a little dark, a little odd, so totally up my alley. I keep stalking the site for ticket updates.

I have a ticket to the Groff thing. I just love him. I didn’t think I’d even see it, but then I saw the teaser and splurged on a table seat. I am such a sucker. (As long as he doesn’t sit and read from a script, I won’t be disappointed.)

I have a tic

Vincentelli nailed my reaction to the show but much more articulately than I ever could. I can’t lie, I arrived salty. The website still says “performed by” not read by…  when I bought my ticket, I thought I’d be seeing a play.  I guess the stories are performed, but it’s a stretch.  I laughed a bit. There were many cutesy moments-too cutesy for me. The woman beside me kept going “awww” and I felt like gagging. I hate that t
