Profile for P-E

For my wife’s birthday, I bought tickets yesterday for Wednesday’s matinee through TickPick (similar site to StubHub). Does anyone know if the theatre would exchange the tickets for comparable tickets on another date when Hugh Jackman is back (or not given I wasn’t the original purchaser of the ticket)?

Yes, set seemed to work perfectly on Saturday night. (Haven’t seen another to compare, but sets rotated.) Show ended before 10:45.

At intermission of today’s matinee. They announced at the beginning (actually 15 minutes past 2:00) that “Raul Esparza has a throat infection ... but he has agreed to perform”. It sounds like it. He is still acting well though and the rest of cast is brilliant.

I had row E of rear mezzanine- thought it seemed close, actually.  Was happy we opted for the cheaper seats, as they were great.  (Although not much legroom if you're tall.)

I agree. I teach economics to college students and found this thread fascinating.  (Ok, so maybe economists aren't known for having the most interesting preferences, but this analysis was awesome!)

Rushed Sunday. 9th in line when arrived at 11:30.  5th row balcony (left) for $42 each.  Great seats for the price.  Perfect view.

Thanks all!

Hi all,

I teach economics and am (still) working on a project where I find Broadway songs that can teach economic concepts.  I haven't yet found much on externalities/pollution, however.  

Do you know any songs that discuss pollution I could use?

Thanks! 

 

 

Last Wendesday we arrived at 8:30 and were 6th in line.

I didn't see Sheridan Smith - just a show with Natasha Barnes a few weeks ago.  So while I can't compare the two, Smith was absolutely fantastic.  I didn't love the show, but her performance was special.

This Monday, there is only one show on TDF.  Sunday has a handful of shows, and Monday the following week (Feb 22nd) has about 20 shows.

I'm new to TDF - is this type of thing normal?  

I agree.  While the pay is surprising low, nobody forced them to accept the gig.

Further, over the next couple of years - this could easily result in a couple more voice-over gigs, or invitations from private organizations to sing at a gala, etc.

I suspect hosting the Tony's was probably worth in excess of $100,000 in lifetime earnings to both Chenoweth and Cumming.  

Quick question for those in the know.  When coming to Broadway, do shows attempt to open within a few months of the Tony Awards?

Thanks all!  Great suggestions!  (Some funny, others we thought about using, but ..)

Hi All,

My wife and I got our kids, ages 9 - 14 tickets to Hamilton in Feb.  (Bought them in August.)  This will be a Christmas present for them.  They will be elated, largely as they know how tough it is to get tickets and will assume we aren't getting tickets anytime soon.  

We took our kids to Matilda in London and our 10 and 8 year olds (at the time) loved it - but not the 5 year old.  (It Can be a bit scary.). 

All three loved Wicked, Lion King, and Les Miz at that same age.

The other they all loved that we took them to one year later was Chicago (yes, we get parent-of-the-year points for that decision).  

We rushed last Wednesday.  Arrived at 9:30 and were about 20th in line.  Received 3rd row orchestra side tickets.  Tickets were partial-view, but I think there were only about 45-seconds of the show where that mattered.  They were great seats!
