Be really kind, friendly, tell them you're flexible on price, ask their opinions on best places to sit, etc. You can pretty easily read who is going to lean into warmth and who ain't.

If I use TKTS I typically do it when there is no line and I can buy for

The performances are all around solid, with Anika and Richard being the standouts among the cast (Marylouise was out), and the material is funny and interesting.

Turn "Death Becomes Her" into an event. Reopen it with Kristin and Idina. Seven shows a week. It prints money."

One time a woman and her daughter I presume were talking all through a show, they must have thought they were in their living room.  I asked the usher at intermission for a manager, the manager came and I told them about the situation.  I was moved to another seat.  I never said a word to the offenders, the usher did say something to them as I was leaving. 

During another show the other day, I saw a large man be given his own chair close to me to sit in, (they broug

When I saw it a couple of weeks ago, the crowd was into it as well.  As someone the other day posted, there was a sense of coolness that I have never felt in a theater before, flawed as the piece is.  The staging, special effects (I know, I could see the wires from where I was sitting as well, but so what?), the actors, especially the leads, all brought a level of hipness that is not the norm for Broadway (Cats: The Jellicle Ball also has this hipness, but in a different way).
