ROB LAKE MAGIC WITH SPECIAL GUESTS THE MUPPETS to Open at the Broadhurst Aug 21
2025, 08:08:55 PM
I came to the board today to see the reaction to the impending Muppets show. I agree that Rob Lake has zero charisma. He seems a bit bland, but I’ve never been much of a magic fan… but I love The Muppets. I’m wondering what this will look like.
I got tix to Sesame Street Off-Broadway for my nieces. Both of them got sick on the day of the performance-so I went by myself. 😳 Not going to lie, but I felt a little weird. Also, I wanted to see the show more than

Well, if they can do Sunset Boulevard and Some Like It Hot, I think The Apartment could make a cute musical. It’s my favorite Billy Wilder film-maybe my favorite film ever. I would cast Groff as the every man, CC Baxter. There could be a Be a Mench number and that would be a great phrase for merch. It’s a perfect film and feels contemporary even though it was made in the 60s (I think).

I saw this on Thursday after a fabulous lunch at The Barking Dog. Loved that place. Dogs! Avocado toast! Mimosa!
Admittedly, I am not the target audience for this show. (I’m actually too old to have a mimosa anymore.) Anyway, I saw this movie in the theater and then a hundred times after that. I loved it. I really wanted to see the theatrical version because I love the song, Candy Store. It’s a banger.
I do not get this show at all. My main issue i

"
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

If the marketing team doesn’t use this quote in bold letters all over social media, they need to be fired."
I’m not making this up… a woman approached me after the show about selling my sweater.

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

I loved The Prom. Wouldn’t have thought it was a flop. Now I’m wondering about The Life. I liked it a lot. Not sure if it was considered a flop.

Aww… thanks! I will post my thoughts. Better wear that waterproof mascara. 😉

Get out! I splurged on a table seat. Just checked-I’m at table 11. 😳
Can’t wait.
How was the show?" Oh you are in for quite the treat! That’s probably the best seat in the house.

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 feel a little silly saying this but I’m seeing the play in a few weeks, but I’ve never seen the film. Would you recommend seeing the movie before or after seeing the play? Or does it matter? Thanks.

OTHELLO Previews Mar 15

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
