I’m seeing it Sunday. It will be my first time at Paper Mill. I also saw the production at Ford’s Theatre last weekend. I’m on a bit of a 1776 kick right now.

That explains it. I was wondering how they had such an elaborate set in the TV studio. The other thing I kept thinking is, it must be uncomfortable dancing in a three-piece suit.

 

Speaking of 1776, I got a ticket yesterday for the production at Ford's Theatre, with performances beginning March 13. Looks like it's selling well. Seemed like an appropriate thing to do during the 250th year.

I saw it today. The theater was packed, but the auditorium was one of the smaller ones in the multiplex. Bad decision on their part—they could have sold more tickets. Not crazy about this as a filmed production. I don’t think it worked. I was bored, which I wasn’t when I saw it in NYC. I could imagine the people walking out in 1980. And I got really sick of Gussie.

My local Regal theater appears to be selling tickets for this—they have seat selection. My AMC says “available soon.”

Thanks for everything, Robert Redford. TA TA FOR NOW !!"

I liked them in “This Property Is Condemned.”

It’s still playing this weekend. I plan to go.

Because a large corner of TikTok seems to think so, and some are actually creating an uproar if they're told not to sing during the movie, others griping that their theater was "too quiet" and they walked out."

Ugh. I was thinking about going to see this tomorrow, but now I guess I won’t.

I'm not sick, but I have a chronic cough. I'm thinking I won't be going to the theater anymore.

I'm just guessing he won't be able to get comp tickets at Broadway shows anymore?"

I doubt that he got comp tickets. That’s unethical.

I never saw it, but this thread makes me want to. I started playing the HBO version last night--just got a few minutes in before it was time for lights out. How does it compare to Broadway? I sooo love the theme by Thomas Newman and the opening cross-country shot.

I would have followed the man and called the police. Sounds like there were plenty of witnesses.

I find the lack of reports odd. Is it the ticket prices?

I’m interested to know this too. Is the stage high? Any spitting?

also, also: there's Ford's Theater. i know the logistical issues are significant, but it might be able to pick up some of the slack. Remember Come From Away had a pre-Broadway run there."

But Ford’s is under the National Park Service.

I read an interview online a few days ago in which Tom Francis said he was accompanied by two police officers as well as security. I don’t see any cops  in that clip.
