I hope it does transfer.
Also would love to see a Bway production of Fairview"
I would love to see Fairview brought back to a local stage, but I have trouble imagining how it could work or remain as impactful in a Br

I saw the Belasco transfer tonight and was kind of shocked at how much sound from outside bled through into the theater. I can't even count the number of times I heard Empire State of Mind blaring and overpowering the non-amplified sound from the stage.

Jordan Catalano said: "This was a VERY vocal and reactive audience tonight, more-so than the previous three times I've seen the show. I have to think reviews on Friday will just be unanimous raves, nothing else will make sense to me for this one."
I was at last night's show too! I found myself a bit annoyed at the audience for laughing so much at tense moments, especially in Act IV (not to mention there was a constant beeping noise coming from the audience ev

Would you/others recommend these 'partial view' seats in G/H of the orch, or would you recommend the back row of the orch (also pretty well-priced)? I know not to sit in the first bunch of rows but not sure if G/H is included in that. TIA for any advice, all! :)"
I sat in row G, house right (three seats from the aisle) last night. I did miss a lot of the drummer downstage, and several scenes where char

Funniest/Funnest Broadway (or Off) Musical Right Now?
Mar 27

Oh, Mary! comes to mind but will probably be difficult to rush for and isn't a musical. In terms of what you can find on TKTS today, I'd recommend Dead Outlaw.

A friend I saw it with in the front mezzanine a few weeks ago noticed the same whispering/talking. They also seemed to think it came from the catwalk above us where the spotlights are manned. Very annoying.

From what I recall, Click Here To Toggle Spoiler Content there are three settings. For the scenes where Father Flynn is preaching, we see an empty, black stage with a few stained glass window panels hanging. The bulk of the

I created a GIF of an early week to get a sense of which seats are sold and which have been blocked off to add to the illusion of being sold, and it's rough:

Christine Lahti in RUSSIAN TROLL FARM at Vineyard Theatre

2024, 04:14:28 PM
I saw this last night and couldn't care for it at all. I was also turned off by the bathroom humor and the lack of any kind of humor beyond the basic eyerolling attempts you'd find on a late night show. The characters in the play were somehow both Russian nationals struggling to learn English grammar and American vernacular, yet at the same time spoke like a cliched grabbag of bored American office workers and had "insight" and commentary on domestic American issues that wer

For me, this was the unexpected highlight of the shows I'd seen in London last summer (including Guys & Dolls, Cabaret, and Groundhog Day), and especially relevant given recent history. Looking forward to this!

Not just shiny, but from my vantage point it looked filthy, with visible streaks across the stage floor and cluttered with neon tape marks. I'd expect the stage to wear out over time, but this was early in previews.

I don't think musikman was critiquing the historical accuracy in the train sequence, but rather the dramatic weight the musical gives it - as if Chip's character reasonably had the foresight to know how the rest of history would pan out (in 1935!) and that he was uniquely capable of altering the course of history, amongst all the other people present on that train.
