Free Museums/Galleries Within Walking Distance of Times Square Mar 10

The only other thing I just thought of is Rockefeller Center, which is an avenue or two away from the Broadway Theater, though the interesting things like the Observation Deck you have to pay for.

chrishuyen said: "The Library for the Performing Arts at Lincoln Center is a good walking distance from the Broadway Theatre and can have some cool exhibits (though I'm not sure what's playing now). It's not necessarily super engaging, but the lobby area upstairs for Jazz at Lincoln Center also has a kind of timeline of jazz artists and some jazz history.
Though I have to say that2 hours for lunch with a group of over 10 people does seem to be the right allotme

I would not underestimate how long it will take a big group to get lunch. There are not really museums in walking distance of Times Square that I can think of off the top of my head, and museums in NYC typically charge admission. You could walk to the New York Public Library, I see they have an exhibition. Or you could go to Bryant Park.
Just read you are seeing The Great Gatsby. To go to 42nd and 6th might be a stretch.

Voter said: "Saw this tonight. I've liked very few new musicals in the last 6 or 7 years, but I loved this. This endearing show just sort of wraps you in its arms. I was very invested, even in moments it may have slowed down,and by the end I found myselfvery moved.
Very happy this made its way all the way to Broadway, it gaveme real hope for the future of musical theatre."

EUREKA DAY Reviews Dec 18

I saw this play Saturday night, and I enjoyed it greatly. I didn't read all the reviews, the negative one I skimmed, and it basically was complaining that the play is already outdated because RFK Jr. could become HHS secretary, we need a more forceful play to fight the anti-vaxx movement that could become stronger as a result of the next administration. I think this play speaks to profound themes concerning our current society greater than just vaccine disagreements.

Is It Wrong That I Want A DIsney Musical To Win A Tony For Best Musical? Nov 21
2024, 02:06:55 PM
Disney will likely keep playing it safe in the future if their movie releases are any indication. This year's successes were mainly safe sequels. When they tried creating new IP last year, the results were not good.

I remember Into the Woods, Ragtime and Millie, and now Suffs. Did we had any other show that also did that?
I think ''The Outsiders'' is the first winner in the century not to win, score, book or an acting award."
I assume you meant Urinetown in that trio. Othe

Camera work was beyond terrible for the whole show!
Why did Hells Kitchen get 7 minutes of air time and the other shows 3-4min?

Alex Kulak2 said: "The Outsiderswon Best Musical without winning Best Book, Best Score, or any acting award. The last time that happened wasFosse in 1999."
No show eligible for best book and score (so, a non-jukebox show) has lost both categories but won best musical since “Spamalot” in 2005.
Tony voters did not like Suffs or Hell's Kitchen enough to grant it Best Muiscal even though they won other awards.

Kad said: "The Tonys desperately need new producers and to go back to the drawing board for how to make a successful ceremony. This was a slog of a night."
They need to back up the Brinks truck to get Neil Patrick Harris back hosting. There was so little humor, writing seemed to be non-existent. Happy for The Outsiders, it was the best new musical I saw (I didn't see Hell's Kitchen yet).

NYP: Broadway sings New York’s blues as crime, costs slow post-COVID comeback Jun 3

MemorableUserName said: "I had to walk through Times Square tonight from 47 or so to 42 to get to the subway, and it was insanely packed as ever. If tourists aren't going to Broadway shows, it has nothing to do with crime, because they're definitely still here and hanging out in the immediate area."
I thought a similar walking through Times Square Saturday night after my show. If people aren't going to shows, they are still coming to NYC blocki

The Goat or Who is Sylvia?: I so desperately wanted to leave, but I was in the middle of the row and there was no intermission.
Gypsy: Patti LuPone was just horrible to see in person. She can't sing -- just screeched the whole time -- and was shouting her lines the whole time. So painful!
The Humans andThe Band's Visit: Lots of hype, but just so boring.<

What is the BEST Show You Have Seen on Broadway May 25
2024, 12:45:40 AM
For me, the best production of a musical I have seen was LCT's revival of South Pacific. It was just a magical evening. The best production of a play I have seen is August: Osage County. The level of acting on that stage was extraordinary, as well as it is a future classic play.

Carolee Carmello was great as the Stepmother. I'm not going to bat for the show being good, but any standout performance should disqualify a show from being labeled worst ever."
Bad Cinderella had it moments, and I enjoyed the score. I saw the Cats revival, I thoug

Listener said: "Such sad news for the company :( I hope they can get through their run and deal with their grief.
Having seen the show, it definitely pushes some emotional buttons very effectively in ways I wasn't prepared for. I loved it. I was really, really impressed by the choreography and staging.
It may not be a traditional Broadway Musical, but I'm so glad it was nominated for Best Musical and hope it has a really long run. I thin

Why do so many shows conform to the typical Tue-Sun performance schedule? Mar 6
2024, 11:29:53 PM
Last Sunday night around 7 I could barely walk through Times Square due to the amount of people. I would agree though that Monday has to be the deadest night for going out in general. When I lived in Manhattan, I noticed the restaurants/bars emptier Monday nights. People are just coming back to the office for the week, and are probably more busy that day than later in the week to be worried about going out. Also, hybrid working people sometimes only come in to the

I got a ticket from TKTS, and I (and the group beside me also got tickets from TKTS) sat in the back of the orchestra side on Sunday. The view was fine, there isn't terribly much to look at in terms of scenery.
