Jordan Catalano said: "“Giant” is fantastic and absolutely worth catching."
Thanks to all who responded! Just got tickets. I was caught in indecision because I wasn't sure if I'd want to see My Master Builder, Totoro, or Oliver, as we only had room for one more show. But now looking forward to seeing Giant!

I guess I should see Giant? I see there are some tickets when I go. Anybody catch it at Royal Court?

MAYBE HAPPY ENDING Original Broadway Cast Recording Thread Mar 15
2025, 11:35:08 PM
I echo the appreciation of the completeness of the recording. It sounds so beautiful.
I also love the inclusion of the emotional punch of the finale “Do you think it’ll be okay?” with Oliver’s response “I hope so.” That left me gutted in the theatre.

THE PICTURE OF DORIAN GRAY Previews Mar 15

schubox said: "For those that have seen this, where do you think the best place to sit is between these two? I can grab a seat on my date for 3rd row Orch (B114) on the aisle or Row H (H114) in the mezz."
I always love sitting as close as possible, but you probably will be craning your neck up at B114. The screens are so big, H114 is probably more comfortable for your neck. If I were to see it again, I'd have a tough time choosing, but I think I'd go with H11

For people who had tickets for today 3/13, when did you get notification that the show was cancelled?
I want to go 3/14, but I'd rather buy a ticket to a show I know is going to go on. We're leaving Saturday, so I probably only have room for one more show.
Thank you in advance!

London show recommendations for May 2025 Mar 4
2025, 12:15:32 PM
Wanted to see if anybody had anything to add for recommendations for a London trip I'm taking 4/23-4/30? I will definitely look into the what was posted above!
So far, top of my list are the following. I probably will add 2 plays, just not sure yet which ones.
Totoro
Titanique
Benjamin Button
I saw Here We Are, in NY so I probably will skip it in London.
Thank you in advance!

Kimberly Akimbo to Launch National Tour in 2024 Jan 17
2025, 08:49:40 PM
Caught this last night in Portland, OR. I also saw this in previews on Broadway Oct 2022 for context (and loved it).
TLDR: Carmello, Gil, and the rest of the company are top notch. This is a high caliber touring production that captures the magic of the original production.
After finding a row D center orchestra ticket online, decided to go see this last night. Carolee Carmello really nailed the role. She balanced the teenage akwardnes

Ugh, it was my turn, and the link went to an error page, and now I have to reenter the queue.... You would think this wouldn't be so hard.

justherehanging said: "How bad is seat a 105 it says it’s restricted, but does anybody know from personal experience?"
I assume you mean row A in the orchestra? Having seen the show (but center orchestra farther back), row A is too close because it will be tougher to fully appreciate the projections. Also there's a scene where Dez sing on a platform on top that will be tough to see, but that's just one small scene.
Overall, that row A seat will still be fine, unless you don't mind paying more to sit 6-10 rows back, which would be more ideal.

MAYBE HAPPY ENDING. BREAK A LEG Nov 8

I also choked up!
I'm loving the 5 songs on the website (https://www.maybehappyending.com/). "World Within My Room" reminds of "The Beauty Is" from Light in the Piazza.
Wish they would put the songs on Spotify, so I didn't have to listen to them on the website.

I just realized Diego played Artie. I would think Artie is a big enough role to not understudy Joe, but Diego seemed like a very good singer. He does come off quite young though, but I think that would be an interesting take. Diego lacks that darkness that Tom Francis has (j

Count me amongst those who loved this charming and sweet show. I agree with GlimoreGirl02: I was also suprised by the depth. For me, it was a perfect combination of innovative book, strong lead performances, interesting music. I can't wait for a cast recording!
I can see the Company comparison, but I don't think it's a ripoff. Did anyone else love the set for Oliver's owner's home? It was only used briefly, but it was so detailed and beautiful.&

An Enemy of the People Seating? Jun 2

Middle of the long sides is ideal. Closer is better but more expensive. If you want to save money, being a few rows back is going to be more than fine.

THE OUTSIDERS to release cast album on May 22 May 23
2024, 01:58:16 PM
https://www.broadwayworld.com/article/Video-Watch-Emma-Pittman-and-Trevor-Wayne-Perform-I-Could-Talk-to-You-All-Night-from-THE-OUTSIDERS-20240523
Speaking of Pitman's lovely performance, I love that this song was chosen for the WSJ festival. "I could Talk to You All Night" was of my favorites after seeing the show. Trevor Wayne is great! But I admit I'm partial to Grant's pop-huskiness? That might be a horrible description of Grant.... I love Brody's voice!
