Profile for Shubert Alley Cat

When I saw this show in Chicago it was truly one of the worst things I had ever seen.  Nothing still has topped its terribleness except maybe Rob Lake Magic.

Agreed 100%.  WTF

Also why was the curtain call not included.  Pissed me off.

 

CATSNYrevival said: "My apologies if this has already been answered, but does this version of the show end with Florence's reprise of Anthem?"

No - the reprise by Florence is not how this production ends.

And that is too much to pay for this drek.

Yes both of the illusions in your photos occurred during my performance.
 

 

EntrActe said: "The production photos feature two pictures of illusions, but neither were in the performance I saw.

One is a water levitation illusion that is similar to the Copperfield one (complete with fake rockwork) and one of the Henning water levitations.



The other is another Copperfield where he tells a very personal story and then makes a car appear on pillars that are similar to the pillars in the Rob Lake publicity photo. (The Copperfield pillars aren't in the photo, but the lighting technique Rob Lake uses around Kermit in the celebrity guest segment are.)

Were either of these tricks in the performance you saw? Was extremely disappointed that the ONLY two illusions in the publicity photos weren't in the performance I saw. Wonder if he got a letter from Copperfield?"

Same happened to me at my screening in Kansas City!  I enjoyed the film though it was a bit dull.  Disappointed nearly all of my favorite songs were relegated to underscoring.

The film was dull and lifeless - no energy to keep the audience engaged.  The one exception was the How to Succeed sequence.

On the app it seems the backward and forward arrows that were always at the bottom of the Message Board section have disappeared.  The Message Board is now way less easily navigable.

Are tickets still going on sale tomorrow?  I signed up for ticket updates and it has been crickets.

Does anyone know if a discount code was also pushed out along with today’s casting news?

I used the code to get two tickets in the orchestra for $165 each for a Sat night in November.  Still super high but better than the original price of $196.

Wish we knew the show schedule.  Will this non-traditional show offer some performances at non-traditional times?

Thanks to those who shared the info about the $88 seats.  I was looking for a Sunday night show for my next trip in November.  Got two orchestra seats on the aisle!  The total is cheaper than one ticket to RAGTIME.

I used 5000 points for a Sardi’s gift card.  (In the past it would arrive in the maiL in a week or two.) Earlier this year I ordered one and never received it, and then I was coming to NYC for a week and wanted to use it.  Called them and got my 5000 points back.  It has really gone downhill bigtime.
