I thought this was a hoot and a half. I expected this show to be a throwaway, but there's more here than meets the eye. Mario Cantone was on fire. He was hilarious reading from Carol Channing's autobiography, and of course he did his Liza. Jeff Hiller was another standout. He really leaned into the ridiculousness of it all. But all the readers were funny. (Jackie Hoffman is no longer doing a Black voice as Mr. T, at least as far as I noticed.) And a lot of research went into this 

I haven't watched the proshot yet, but I saw Suffs at the Public, on Broadway, and the first national tour in Boston (which was an incredible production, first-rate!). I was just so-so on the show at the Public, but I loved how Taub revised the show for Broadway. Plus, if anyone has the chance to see the tour, grab it!

Just wanted to add to the praise for The Balusters. It's a wry, nuanced look at members of a neighborhood association and thier uneasy alliances. Are they do-gooders or do they each have a hidden agenda? Do they even know for sure? And how do they see themselves? Playwright Lindsay-Abaire proceeds to put human nature under a microscope, with hilarious results. Every single one of the performances is top-notch, and it's really fun to watch when the fur starts flying! Ani

I see three dates on TDF at present.

I attended the matinee today via TDF. Seat was in Row E mezzanine, the last row. But I was happy with the view.

Since this was my first real exposure to the play, I don't feel qualified to "review" it. But I felt Nathan Lane was too shouty, and it bothered me more as time went on. I found the set bleak. The floor was covered with dirt in places. I had trouble figuring out what it was supposed to represent. Now I'm reading in this thread that it was the i

How can one apply for TDF Passport? They get all the great deals. Are you a student?

You said it! 

I also asked if I could download the reviews I had already posted to the site, and the answer was no. So I took screen grabs of the 450 reviews I have up there, just in case the site shuts down unexpectedly. 

I did hear back from an email I sent last week:

Thanks so much for getting in touch — I completely understand how confusing it can be not to see your review appear straight away.

Your review has been safely saved and counted. We’re in the middle of a big set of improvements to Show-Score, which means reviews aren’t appearing immediately on profiles or show pages right now. Full synchronisation is expected by March 2026.

Has anyone tried to review a show on Show Score recently? I tried to score Oedipus, and I got taken to a survey instead. I completed the survey (several times!), but I was never given the option to score the show. I hope user reviews aren't the latest functionality Score Score will deep-six! Then there's nothing left.

I won the Telecharge lottery yesterday for Ragtime and saw the show tonight. Incredible production! Seats were on the far side of the Beaumont orchestra but perfect view for $49. You can buy one seat or two. 

Yes, the $129 price point, which I purchased as a member, is no longer available. The $45 seats for the under-30-year-olds are a good deal, though. They are right up front, and there is a limit of two. I'm wondering if the Shed overreached on prices. There are many seats unsold. 

I just bought two tickets to a matinee in November. I waited in a queue for a half hour. Site was very buggy. I got signed out at one point and kept getting weird error messages. Ticket prices ranged from $299 to $129. That's what I bought. The $129 seats are on the far sides.

Pre-sale tickets go on sale tomorrow for the highest rung of members (not my rung, LOL). Does anyone know the range of prices? Also, for Straight Line Crazy there were a couple of lower-priced seats available at each performance. Has anyone heard about something like that? 

Yes, the other performances were not subtle, but no one else seemed to be shouting.

I saw Oh, Mary! again last night after seeing at the Lortel, which was probably a year ago. There were some things that struck me this time around. Conrad Ricamora seemed to be shouting all his lines, and I actually went home with a headache. I didn't remember so much shouting from the Lortel. Also, I was struck by this particular speech of Mary's, and I don't remember that from my previous viewing:

The newest Show Score descent into crapdom is that two shows I scored recently are no longer visible on my profile. So many things are broken on the site now, it's sad!

 

So the Mezzanine app is only for iPhone? There's no web-based version? So everything has to be typed into your phone? That seems unwieldy to me, but maybe I'll just download it and try it.

 

I contacted Show Score after I saw that a show I reviewed on Sunday was not appearing on my profile page. That has been fixed, and I can see it now. But like everyone else, I can no longer edit my reviews, and my old reviews have been changed over to the new format and gussied up with cheap looking emojis.

According to Marika, Senior Customer Experience Representative (help@show-score.com), we will be able to edit our reviews at some point, accessible through our profiles
