Has anyone been--opened Nov 15th? Tickets are quite expensive so I was hoping to get some candid feedback before plunking down $40-$50.

I hope the whole thing will be available as a package tomorrow....keeps cutting out even after the delay....I hate to think what I am missing. I saw Kelli O'Hara and then Judy Kuhn thing just flat out froze up.

 

Dear God, please let them overcome the tech probs! I have really been working myself up for this!

The viewer count is declining now as people give up....

I watched this tonight.

Ugh!"

IKR? Mimi needs to die. So wrong.

Fair Park Music Hall in Dallas has at least 3000 to 3500 (and bad acoustics) and the Fox in Atlanta is giant, like 4500+.

The Winspear is definitely the better house! I think that any touring production would agree that goes for the front of house experience as well as the backstage and technical aspects as well.

 

It's a whole new world...ATTPAC and DSM join hands?

I take it you bought this ticket n the secondary market, given the price you apparently paid? Face value should be more like half of that, for that seat. The last time I went, I had row T on the inside (center) aisle and it was $229 plus fee, totaling around $240-$250 (bought from Ticketmaster on the day they were released).

Oh, yeah, and I forgot to mention that Mandy was totally off-pitch for the first half of "Satisfied." It was painful.

I went last week. Unless they are adding stuff into the main exhibition spaces, a half hour is enough. As of June 25th, it was posters, set design artwork, photos, one video screen, and explanatory panels along the side walls downstairs near the circulation desk (including around the back corner) and a bit more on the second floor. At that time, anyway, the main spaces were closed for the teardown of the Bernstein exhibit. The R & H a small exhibit.

Saw it again last week...fourth overall and third time in NY. Observations and opinions:

1) Lexi and Mandy are stiiiiiilllllll there. 

2) I think we were between a Madison/Mulligan main cast change. It was A.Chappell.

3) James Monroe Iglehart did nothing for me as Lafayette/Jefferson.

4) Daniel Breaker is still a very good Burr.

5) Euan Morton as KG still very entertaining.

6) We got Javon McFerrin as Hamilton. Honestly, he is just not right for that role, in my opinion. Maybe too young? He was ok as a young, smart, and bratty Hamilton at the beginning, but the character needs to mature into a confident, ambitious, arrogant, fully-formed intellectual giant by the end of the first act. McFerrin played him as still a sassy, annoying, smart-alec youth just about right up until he got shot by Burr. Luwoye pulls off that transition with aplomb and I was very disappointed that my husband, who was only seeing it for the second time, did not get to enjoy and appreciate Luwoye's performance.

7) Anthony Lee Medina still makes a passionate and heroic Laurens and an adorable Philip.

Robert Walters was on as Seabury and I really, really missed Thayne Jasperson.

9) I still love the show....listen to it constantly in my car...evangelizing all my friends on its many virtues.... but I think I may take a longer break before seeing it again (famous last words). Like whenever we have some new Schuyler sisters.
