It doesn't start until tomorrow so that's why there are no reports yet, but I'm going on Sunday! Will be my first experience with both the musical and seeing a Deaf West production in person.

When you say it had audience members up and down, do you mean the show asks you to stand and sit multiple times? Is there any sort of "concept" done on the play or is it mostly done straight?

It all depends on whether they actually submitted for the Pulitzer right? Like if they knew Broadway was in the plans they could've theoretically held off and said they were still working on it and then submit it in the year they go to Broadway. I don't think it's that likely since it's had a few major productions and a decent amount of buzz but there's not really that much transparency around when stuff gets submitted for the Pulitzer.

My friend gave me the past-date info, and I filled it out explaining the situation. Never heard back. The show clearly hasn’t sold well, so it’s not like they didn’t have a seat to give me, and you’d think they would’ve wanted an extra body in their audience. They close today, and I just have to say good riddance to them, if th...

I may be misremembering, and granted I didn't listen to every episode of Giants in the Sky, but I thought the whole impetus behind the podcast was that Lapine said he was NOT doing a book on Into the Woods because he didn't keep as close a record or notes around the process (which you can kind of see in the episode he does as he states things as fact that are clearly incorrect).

Saw this tonight and the short of it is that I found it absolutely thrilling when it's at its best, which does happen quite frequently, and those moments I found very much worth the price of admission. The first mirror scene is absolutely electric and act 2 manages to keep building on top of it. I think this is Sonya Tayeh's first directorial credit for a stage piece, and I am absolutely impressed at how well she manages to convey the tone and atmosphere with pure stagecraft and movement.My b...

Looks like they fixed the issue with not being able to advance to the next page on mobile!

fwiw if anyone was running into the same payment issue I was earlier, I'm not sure if this is new but I noticed you can verify your email as well, and once I did that, adding a card worked fine.

Has anyone who managed to log in been able to buy tickets? I seem incapable of entering a payment card.

It really surprises me how much people are devaluing the role of Giorgio in Passion. To me he forms the core of the story and the entire show succeeds or fails depending on the actor for Giorgio. Yes, Fosca is the central role that the story is about and it's a layered character that's incredibly nuanced, but the actual arc of the story and the largest development lies with Giorgio. I was surprised in reading the Hat book that Sondheim didn't seem to realize that either until Jamie Lloyd's pr...

I appreciate the data and visualizations, but I think one big thing to note is that people seem to know how to produce plays that have stars people want to see but (for the most part) also tend to be highly acclaimed, either through audiences or formal critics. For some reason our recent slate of musicals hasn't really lived up to that caliber in either regard. And I think this role reversal of plays in larger houses with musicals in smaller houses isn't necessarily a bad thing, as some of th...

Has anyone managed to succcessfully past date tickets to this? I had to miss a performance where I had TDF tickets two weeks ago and I filled out the past date form on ATG pretty immediately but it's been crickets since then. I know past dating is a courtesy and not guaranteed but considering the amount of times I've seen this show on TDF I figured it would be doable.

For those that have seen this and Dorian Gray, I wasn't a huge fan of Dorian Gray because the over-use of screens made it feel less theater-y to me, especially with the prerecorded scenes. How much of the tech stuff does Williams use in this show? The play itself is of interest to me but I'd rather not go to another show where I watch half of the scenes just playing out on screens.

Can anyone go into detail what the book changed? Was it actual events/framing or more just line tweaks/delivery? The LA Times was rapturous but didn't go too much into detail about the changes.

if you do want to see Balusters, it would probably be better to take the C/E to 50th Street, but you'd still be cutting it close/assuming a decently quick walking speed.

I almost skipped over this because the title led me to believe it was about auditions, but I thought this was fantastic in highlighting some of the dance references I might've missed otherwise.

It’s becoming quite pathetic."It's clearly BroadwayFlash again

I think Jonathan Groff and Lea Michele certainly have their fans (perhaps her more than him), but the level of ticket sales for Daniel Radcliffe and Hugh Jackman and Bette Midler have been on a different level, George Clooney as well (though it remains to be seen if theater was a one time thing for him or if we'll be seeing him more often).
