Funny, this happened to people in front of me at City Center during Parade. Except the second ticketholders didn't show up until the lights were going down, so the entire opening number was ruined by them standing in the aisle and the usher trying to see everyone's tickets and figure out what happened. The second pair ended up sitting on the stairs for the first few numbers and then were taken separately to different seats. That run was heavily sold out, so I'm not sure how t

I have this problem a lot. I am taller than average for a woman (I'm 5' 7" ), but I have a very short torso. (I have friends who are closer to 5' 2" or 5' 3" who are all taller than me when we are sitting down, for perspective.) Ushers always look at me askance when I ask for a booster, but sometimes I need one. I do try to get aisle seats so I can lean out, though.

What bothers me the most is when a tall person in front of me leans forward in their s

Chiming in as someone who has seen two previous productions of this show, was bored out of my mind, and only went to see this production because I was curious about the concept.

I agree with much of the criticism of the production, but I will say it's the first time I was actually engaged for the duration of the show. I appreciate that they tried to do something different and fresh with it.

Maybe in a perfect production the jokes don't come across as corny and th

Every time I've purchased from Today Tix, instructions about ticket delivery were in the initial confirmation email.

Pre-pandemic, it would tell you where to pick up your printed tickets from a concierge outside the theater. I'm not sure if they still distribute any tickets that way.

I've also purchased from Today Tix twice since the shutdown. One set of tickets was delivered as two barcodes in the confirmation email. Another set was will-call, and this was again spe

I thought this was a cute show with a good score. I've seen it twice and still get the music stuck in my head. I agree with others that it could use some fine tuning, though. 

The first time I saw it, Aubrey Matalon was on for Delilah. Now that I've seen Arielle Jacobs, I honestly prefer Aubrey. Arielle is a great actress and can really sing, but I couldn't get past that she's double Delilah's age. I think she's miscast.

The rest of the cast is unifo

I saw this last night. Phillipa Soo and Ally Bonino were out, so there were two swings on to fill their understudies' ensemble roles, plus a third ensemble member who was also out. All the understudies were great. Looks like I'm lucky the performance was able to go on. 

I found this show very emotional, seeing it so soon after the Dobbs draft leak. Lyrics like "How long must women wait for liberty?" hit hard. It's clear that this story is as relevant as ever.

If your flight leaves at 6:29, there is almost no way you will make it, even cutting out before the bows. Into the Woods runs a full 3 hours. You'd only have 80 minutes or so to get your luggage from bag check, hail a car or a cab (not an instantaneous process right as a show is getting out and everyone else wants a car too), drive the 30-40 minutes to LGA, wait in the security line (even precheck is usually 10+ minutes these days), walk to your gate, and board before the doors close. And

I got there right at 10 on Thursday morning and there were 10-15 people ahead of me in line. I got a partial view seat with no problem. Not sure what time you'd have to be there to get a full view seat, if they are even selling any. I didn't mind the partial view because I could still hear what happened at the edges and any important action that was blocked moved downstage eventually.

It did seem like there were people in the standing room positions too, but I didn't a

Hmm, this seems pretty irrelevant. Recording a show has nothing to do with phones making noise or distracting audience members/actors. The ethics of this have been discussed countless times here, so you may

Plane that arrives at LaGuardia at 5:40 p.m. Saturday. Is that better than 5 p.m. at JFK, or pretty much the same - at least in terms of catching an 8 p.m. show that night?

Once again, sorry for this annoying thread. But there are plenty of people here with lots of experience flying into New York and hoping to catch a show. Who better to ask?"

I'd stick with JFK. LGA may be closer to midtown, but there's n

Last night was unbelievable. I actually preferred that they mixed it up and had everyone sing each others' songs as well as the deep cuts. It made it feel special to hear things in a way you couldn't in a production. It was also really sweet to watch the cast watching each other sing. They were all totally engrossed.

This was the full set list:

1. Feeling Electric - Bobby Spencer
2. A Promise - Adam Chanler-Berat
3. Live Every Day - Louis Hobson and Tamika
