Farinelli & The King with Mark Rylance coming to Broadway
May 29
2017, 09:34:33 PM
And so I randomly browse stuff coming to Broadway and realize tickets for this are now on sale.
I've never had the pleasure to see Rylance on stage and I am not missing my chance this time. But winter shows are always so dangerous. I never know when to go. It can be horrible weather any time from December to March.
I think I may get a balcony seat now just in case and if I can get a better seat later on. At $41 I guess I can take a risk.

"
Thank you :)
I believe it's Nixon as Regina, Linney as Birdie. I actually would have preferred the other way around based on reviews but that's okay. I am still very excited to see it.

Ended up getting a ticket to Little Foxes. I did get a slight discount but it was still expensive. But after reading about all the plays I think this one would appeal to me most. I figure I can treat myself for my birthday! :)

I'd love to see a play in the evening too but I live in Philadelphia so that would require a night at a hotel. Since this is sort of impromptu trying not to spend too much money. So I think for this trip it can only be the 1 play!

Thanks for the feedback so far. And I will definitely welcome more.
I was considering Little Foxes too actually (The Bette Davis film is a favorite of mine) but when I looked tickets weren't available on the 10th

Decided to see a play for my birthday on June 10th but there are too many choices. Any thoughts on the following?
Oslo
Dollhouse Part 2
Present Laughter (this seems to get more mixed reviews but I do like Noel Coward)
Sweat
Indecent

This is why I personally didn't buy tickets when the latest block went up (well this & worry about the weather).
Yes the show may be bigger than the cast but personally I don't see a need to pay such high prices to see the show without the original cast. I do want to eventually see the show but I can wait till the hype dies down or it tours in my city. For now I have the OST to enjoy.

Louis Vuitton doesn't date the play though. Louis Vuitton has been around since before Street Car Named Desire was written.
And I didn't really think any of the clothes in the story were very specific to any time period.

I saw the play and I am kind of missing where it said it was set in 2016. I also didn't think the set was entirely modern. Granted I didn't think it took place in the late 40's (which is when the play was actually written) But it had this kind of anywhere/anytime quality to it, making the story feel a bit timeless to me. Granted some of the dialouge dates it but I was never transported out of the story because they didn't set it exactly in the time the story was originall

Honestly history lessons might have changed a lot since I was in High School but not a lot of focus was ever put on Hamilton when I went to school. And I DID learn about Hamilton in highschool because my AP American history teacher was a big fan. He was obsessed with Hamilton to the point that Aaron Burr became the "Man Who I Hate". He was an awful teacher & I only passed the AP History test because I studied the material myself; but I am kind of thankful that he pushed Hamilton

Are you unsure about where to go because of the Amtrak times home? If you can figure out transportation past Trenton, just take a NJ Transit

Well I wouldn't be interested in seeing it with anyone but Sheridan. If she wasn't in it I'd be saving my money.

Hamilton to be filmed?
Apr 28

Not sure why people think this won't be released to the general public. Plenty of theater is released on film for the public to see. And they would make even more money this way.
And its not like it would cut down on theater tickets bc seeing it on screen is no way the same experience as seeing it on film. But this would give people the opportunity who can't see it on stage.

So random question if by very slim chance you win the lottery how much time do they give you to get there after you know you won?
I am just wondering if I would have time to get there from Phila on Amtrak. It would suck to win and then realize you can't make it in time.

I saw it last night and loved it. Gillian was really amazing as Blanche but the entire cast was great. It also had this really cool rotating stage so depending on where the stage was at the moment you saw different aspects/highlights of the show. Definitely go see it if you can
My only complaint is the seats were not comfortable for a long play. I was fine the first half but I couldn't stop fidgeting during the second half because I was in pain.

Henry IV pts 1 & 2 @ BAM
Apr 17
2016, 08:13:49 PM
I am seeing them all except Part II sadly (couldn't fit it into my schedule)
Saw Richard II today and really enjoyed it. Henry IV actually had a big role to play in this story. It's just as much about Richard's fall as Henry's rise.
So having not seen Henry IV yet I guess I could see it focusing more on how Henry V his son eventually became king where I assume Henry V would focus on the end of Henry V's reign.
Edit: ok

I know it's a long shot because sadly a lot of Americans don't know who Sheridan is but I am really hoping it will. That would be a day 1 purchase for me. Actually I won't lie Id be happy to see Sheridan in any show in Broadway.
I am a huge fan of hers and I'd love to see her live on stage. Maybe one day I can go to London to see her but that is not in the cards right now.

Ah hooray for Curious Incident in Philadelphia. I've been dying to see it. I considered seeing it in NY but I'll save money and wait for the Philadelphia show which I hope will be good.
