Saw this Wednesday evening from center orchestra after rushing....and I absolutely loved it! This show was set up for me to *not* enjoy it - I mostly go for modern, original musicals, especially ones that have a high song count. I also appreciate a hefty plot (TMM plot is fairly thin, for what it is). 

That being said, absolutely everything about this production worked for me. Hugh and Sutton are doing an incredible job, as is the rest of the cast. Easily some of the finest child

Happy to update everyone as I rushed this morning! My partner and I arrived shortly after 7 am, hoping to score two tickets each for the evening show. We were 12th and 13th in line. 

I did not talk to the first person in line, however, I did overhear number 7/8 telling the box office they got there at 6:30, so seems like between 6:30 and 7 is when quite a few people showed up. Today was also one of the warmer mornings we've had and probably will have for the next couple of wee

Sorry I mean In the Heights has significantly more songs than book scenes compared with most musicals. It seems almostsung-through to me, with book scenes sprinkled around.

Also, I'm not saying that being Latinx in the United States is NOT a political matter in itself, but the material does not seem to callfor nor support the very approach the movie is taking, which might feel heavy-handed if the nuances and complexity of the subject matter are not addressed with caution an

It seems to me that the director or whoever comes up with the script does not trust the material and adds so many book scenes in a supposedly sung-through musical to make it "relevant." If it's not done well, the relevancy can easily seem forcedand preachy. Also, from what the trailer shows, it looks too clean, too spacious that it loses the special kind of intimacy, messiness, homeyness, and the heady mixture of al

You can't sort out the difference between someone buying tickets they will use, and someone buying a ticket to resell at a higher price?!"

 

It's not like scalpers who buy them in hopes that someone will pay a ridiculous mark up fee - this is a ticket that someone is intending to use, and are basically reimbursing the buyer for their labor of waiting in line. 

I just don't think it warrants such an egregious

I feel like I pre-emptively addressed your point pretty clearly in my earlier post, but I’ll try again:

I understand perfectly that it’s ALLOWED. But just because something is allowed doesn’t automatically prevent it from beingdisrespectful and/or unethical.

And regardless of what mindset you go into a rush with, the fact remains that a ticket purchased by someone further up in line will deny a ticket to someone furt

Overall I was happy with my purchases, though most of them were gifts for other people. Set up was awful with only half the streets being used. 

 

Mostly upset that I showed up right at 10 AM only to find that people had been there since 9 AM and picked through a LOT - is this a common thing? Every poster I saw advertised a starting time of 10 AM. I wonder what good things I could've gotten by showing up at 9. 

 

I hope the lack of Comet (an
