I’m 6’5” and concur.    Was in the balcony.   I was talking to usher while other half was in restroom and he said without me mentioning it they spent big bucks to rerake the balcony.  I’m not sure if they lost a row or what they did but I won’t complain on adding le

BentleyB said: "We see most productions in NY so it is rare we go to see something that is on tour. I just looked at the Nashville schedule and tickets and was shocked that to get the best seat tickets you have to make a 2000.00 to 5000.00 donation, in addition to the cost of the tickets. Is this standard? It’s like extortion. For 2000.00 to 5000.00 and the price of the ticket, I can fly to NY see the shows and stay at a pretty decent hotel. "


not saying

If the show had a jump set, it wouldn’t be taking them 2 weeks to move from Chicago to LA. They’ll likely downscale the show after the DC sit down, I’m presuming and will get rid of the traps.

(I know I could google it, but don't want to) The "big reveal" in second half was jaw dropping in London and San Francisco.  (Even when I knew it was coming the second time) I am curious how they will handle it on the tour, even with a 19-wee

I found Los Angeles to be a good barometer for tours, with the big shows going to the Pantanges and the intimate ones going to the Almanson. So could see The Great Gatsby, Hell’s Kitchen and Water for Elephants going into the Pantanges and Tommy,Outsiders and The Notebook in the Ahmanson?"

Plus Pantages generally has first right of refusal for anything playing in a Nederlander Theatre on Broadway as Nederlander is ge

Call_me_jorge said: "Same with Costa Mesa. It makes no sense why you need a venue hosting first run tours that close to LA where you have the Pantages and Ahmanson."

You obviously don’t live in Southern California.  Costa Mesa subscription is its own two week run which is better than one week in many markets.  People aren’t going to fight So Cal traffic for 2-3 hours each way to get to Pantages from South OC.

Pantages subscription run is

I just saw Mean Girls at the Hollywood Pantages.   I have full season subscriptions to both it and the Ahmanson.   I knew Mean Girls was announced before Covid and I was curious what all actually has made it from what was announced. 
Of the cancelled shows, I’m most sad about not seeing SpongeBob. It looked fun.  Book of Mormon closed mid run at Ahmanson, our seats just happened to be the week before the shutdown so not included in the list below

Will the Hugh Jackman Sutton Foster led Music Man release a cast recording?

On the positive as long as Jackman is in the role, it's a huge sell out.

On the flip side, got fairly universally bad reviews.

Personally I saw it so would love to get the OCR on my iPhone.  I thought it was fun evening, but obviously not Pulitzer prize wining plot and I'm not sure who wrote new lyrics for Shipoopi that were either not needed or the wrong correction.  But would l

Does anyone know how long Jeff Daniels will be back in to Kill a mockingbird?

We are thinking of a trip in May 2022?   If we can catch the original cast, I'd love to buy tickets.  If Jeff will have moved on, I'm sure we'll catch it on the National Tour, if that resurfaces.   I would normally assume the OC would stick around thru the Tony Awards, but as this opened in 2018 he has no reason to stick around if he doesn't want to.

Thanks for everyone that replied, I learned a few things about my favorite show I didn't know before. 

I originally saw the London production in 1989, saw the Los Angeles production more times then I can count, and I agree with all of the comment about Dale Kristen, who was amazing, as of course the three main Phantoms we had in LA.  2nd and 3rd National Tours. Las Vegas production a few times, and I'm sorry to say, "Cameron Macintosh's All New production.&qu

After 30 years, is spoiler alert needed?

Title Track....

Phantom & Christine run down stairs, or off stage depending on theatre and hightail it backstage to the boat to come onstage across the lake in the second half of the song.

Doubles instantly appear at the top of the stage and crisscrossing down the path, lip-syncing.

So question is, who is playing Phantom and Christine during the first half of the song?  Do the standby's have to actuall
