Profile for PerfidiousRaoul

Great Comet is a tough one! I feel like they might do Prologue/Pierre or Prologue/Dust and Ashes for Mr Groban, but as he is leaving afterwards it makes sense for them to focus on someone else. I really do hope they show off the other actors who get nommed (assuming they do). I'd love for Lucas's 'Petersburg' note to be recorded on video!

Sorry for the bump, I just really need help for this.

I saw the show tonight, overall I found it to be a much more enjoyable experience than with the OBC.

Standouts were Burr, Angelica, Eliza, King George and Jefferson. I preferred all listed to their original counterparts. 

Also, I overheard an usher talking to an audience member about Wayne Brady and I heard that he will only be in for 3 months (but to me that seems unusually short so I'm second guessing myself haha).

Fair enough, thanks for the help! 

Fair enough. Sometimes I've been able to ask for (eg) a mezzanine seat over orchestra,  is this not usually allowed? 

I saw Cats a few nights ago with no prior knowledge other than listening to the cast recording once and hating it. I actually really loved the show, the dancing is awesome! It's light, but it's a fun night out. Definitely keep Comet. I've only seen the Australian Aladdin and it was alright,  I'm sure the Broadway leads are much stronger.

Just to clarify, I couldn't walk up to the TKTS booth and get rear mezzanine seats for half of the price right? If i recall last time I purchased tickets there was a lady next to me asking for rear mezzanine Waitress seats and it would have cost 180 dollars for the pair. I'm just very confused as to how it works.

Anthony was wonderful at the closing performance! The cold in his voice (especially towards act two) sounded like he had more emotion, and my heart broken at how sad he looked through most of act two. That kid is crazy talented. 

Forgive me but I'm not actually 100% sure how it works.  I'm pretty sure they take half off the standard price of tickets (or at least that's what's been doing since I've been going). The stage seats cost a substantial amount, and if I recall correctly 90 dollars for then is more than 50 percent off. I think if there are front mezz/good orchestra seats avaliable they would be the same price (90). Sorry I couldn't help you more!

I think they are always roughly 90 dollars,  when I went I got a downstage table seat (considered onstage premium). I'm assuming the price is the same for all others considering they are the most expensive seats.

I probably sound like a total Debbie downer but I really did enjoy the show, just moreso the performances/plot over the score.

For me its the music (I live in Australia so cast recordings are my only way to experience NY theatre), followed by the cast (eg saw Othello due to the leads), and lastly the word of mouth (eg Dear Evan Hansen).

Prologue from the Great Comet! It's fun, light,  catchy, and genuinely helpful for those who struggle with remembering whos who.

I think regarding DEH'S score, my problems were they really didn't progress the plot other than You Will be Found (and arguably Words Fail). I was also kind of irritated by all the Waving Through a Window reprises, the song itself is outstanding,  but at times when they repeated lines from it I just felt as though it was cheesey.

I was there on Sunday night, and Mamie was out again (anyone know when she's back?). She was the main reason I wanted to see the show, but Jessica Hendy did not disappoint! Her Memory gave me shivers and her voice is really great. I got lottery tickets in the front mezzanine,  the view was great. All in all, it was a fun night out!

I couldn't disagree more! I found the characters all believeable and entertaining, mainly due to the portrayal. When I listened to the cast recording, I was worried at how dumb Natasha sounds, but Denee plays off her naivety and innocence that makes the character, although not relatable, definitely convincing. I find the last few songs in the show really add some heart that elevates this spectacle of a show even further.
