There was nothing at The Roommate yesterday.

That's a shame. I know it's going to a good cause, but they would sell more at fairer prices.

 

I am unfortunately not there this year. I injured my hand last week and didn't feel like fighting crowds, and potentially ripping out stitches. Hope everyone has fun today though.

It closed on Friday.

I won for the 12th. I forgot about it until I got the email today.

I think they've been trying to get rid of the Frozen shirts from the Colorado run since before COVID. I also think the tables that get the show cups also have been selling the same ones for years.

I agree that I did find some stuff I liked, I wasn't impressed with much of the merchandise. I did a 2nd walk through at 4 and still found it too crowded. 

 

I managed to get an Into the Woods signed window card for $20 before noon. It was signed by Stephanie J. Block & Andy Karl, as I can tell. Haven't looked over the rest yet.

I'll be there. I missed last year's. Looking forward to seeing what I can find. 

And with cancelling, they would only do so if there was an extreme circumstance where the government or cops would tell them no. They have to apply for permits to close down the streets, so it would not be in their best interest to postpone or cancel. 

I was at the & Juliet matinee. I could smell the smoke from the mezzanine before the show started. It seems like it got better once the doors were closed. Nicholas Edwards was replaced at intermission. No idea if it was because of the air or another reason.

Bummer"

I agree with this. I saw it and liked it, but it definitely does not hold up against Sweeney Todd or Into the Woods. I haven't seen Camelot or Parade yet. 

They may not be park spaces exactly, but you can sit up on Broadway between 50th & 51st or less than a block from Bryant Park between 41st & 42nd.

I feel like I think about this a lot, but don't actually know so much about it. The people on this board tend to be pretty knowledgeable about stuff like this, so I thought I would ask here!

The only ones I really know are that the Ambassador, Marquis, and Broadway are considered particularly undesirable.

Any other very undesirable theatres? What about very desirable ones?"

While I am happy to be able to see shows again, I'm still frustrated how the public transportation to the city is still bad from my area. Because of that, I haven't been seeing shows as often. 

My list in order of favorites to least:

1. Into the Woods- both City Center & Broadway 

2. Company

3. Six

4. POTUS

5. A Strange Loop

6. The Music Man

7. Dear Evan Hansen

8. Funny Girl

Adding salt to the wound, I was watching ABC this morning, and they played an ad with pull quotes praising Beanie. It just seems so awkward now. I do feel bad because she was good in Hello, Dolly! But, I realize Minnie Fay and Fanny Brice are not in the same category as far as roles go.

I don't pay too much attention to the grosses, but have sales plummeted on this? I was there on Thursday and the mezzanine was pretty empty. I think you probably could have fit everyone into the center section and closed off the sides. They better get a name that will bring in ticket sales. Because of that, I was doubting it even making it until September.

I have a weird random question for anyone at the opening last night.when I was waiting in line to go in, I was handed an orange wrist band and was told to hold onto it. I never found out what it was for. Nobody asked me about it. I also didn't notice anyone sitting around me who had one either. I mean, I know I wasn't the only person with one. Did anyone here get one and know what it was for?

While not Broadway or theater related, the museums like the Met, Moma, and Natural History are fun.

He did perform. The only person missing was Brian, but we already knew that.

That was an awesome show. I too saw it at City Center and think it improved on the move to Broadway. Everyone just seemed like they were having fun. I think there were a lot of new acting choices that made it more fun. I still love Milky White.
