Spitters
Oct 20

Was at Little Shop of Horrors today and Jonathan Groff was in prime spitting form. All over the front row. So I googled “Jonathan Groff spitter” and this thread came up! First time I ever saw him on stage was Hamilton and remembered him being quite the spitter then too! Nothing has changed it seems.
Nevertheless - he was GREAT in LSOH.

The Music Man 2020 Venue Mystery
Sep 15
2019, 01:01:18 PM
I bought tickets for Nov 6 and was surprised that there were no “premium” tickets (although I did see a front row ticket for $499 that weekend). There was definitely nothing available in orchestra center. Either they’re holding back for VIPs (or an official venue or some other reason) or they are sold out already?

Having trouble getting 1 ticket for Hadestown in Ticketmaster

I had same experience with orchestra seats for MR when buying 1 ticket in person at box office. Wanted row G or K but had to settle for M because G and K only had two seats left each and box office said they weren’t able to split them up because ticketmaster’s system doesn’t even allow them to do that at the box office.

I was sitting in Row 2 (too close to have enjoyed the show properly, but noticed lots of interesting but unnecessary details) at his last performance and it looked like they gave him a pair of pink granny panties that had been signed by everyone. He also got a standing ovation and prol

"
I've been thinking the same thing...just waiting for the announcement and telling all my friends to just get tix now rather than waiting for the next block of tickets to go on sale.

I use http://www.newyorkcitytheatre.com/ to find shows playing at odd times when I'm traveling around holidays and when I'm looking for a Sunday night show! Has listings for Broadway and off-Broadway shows (and some MSG concerts and sporting events too).

Had Row S and T left center aisle seats and hey we're fantastic, just below the overhang but well worth the savings.

Thanks for pointing is out! I've only been to one opening night, fiddler, and I was disappointed that there wasn't anytHing distinguishable about the Playbill. But you are correct - just checked my Fiddler playbill and saw opening night on the title page!

I just saw it myself and found it to be dull. So did the many people in the mezz who didn't return after intermission.
If he thinks it sounded dull, then let him have his opinion."

Just saw it tonight (after seeing OBC 3 times in NYC last September and this March...only ever saw one understudy, Seth Stewart as Lafayette/Jefferson) and loved every minute of it. There were plenty of new takes by the actors and all of them worked and made it more interesting!
And @nightnic001, I totally agree about Holly James in the ensemble - she was great!!!
It took me a while to get past Hamilton being older than Washington - Chris Jackson is very

Any guesses as to whether Miguel be playing all 8 performances of Hamilton for the first few weeks? Or will his alternate, Joseph Morales, be going on?
edit: answered my own question - he tweeted that he'll be going on during Sunday evening performance.

Just saw that official opening night is October 19 and that LMM will be there.

54 Below Seating
Aug 10
2016, 02:08:38 PM
I'm going to be in NYC in a couple weeks to see White Rabbit Red Rabbit and Spamilton. I'm also interested in seeing Broadway Goes to the Movies at 54 Below. They have a show where seating opens at 8:45 and show starts at 9:30. White Rabbit starts at 8 and is supposed to be 75 minutes. Anyone know if there's late seating at 54 Below and, if so, what's the best location to sit in if I know I'll be running a tad late?
Thanks!

I've only ever seen a production here in Chicago at Remy Bumppo Theatre Company and it was one of the top 3 plays I've ever seen on/off Broadway (not that I've seen a lot on Broadway). It was so intense and I was sobbing at the spoiler posted previously and also when he talks about going to a group counseling session and seeing someone who is so ugly you can hardly stand to look at them. Just so raw and gut-wrenching. The performances in Chicago were phenomenal and seeing it

I saw it Labor Day 2015 and March 2016 and didn't notice anything crazy except for Lin's entrance.
My first time ever seeing Rent or hearing any of the songs (save Seasons of Love) was a tour in early 2000's and it was "unwatchable" as blaxx said. I would have left at intermission if not for Seasons of Love in Act 2. I'm sure my love of Hamilton is as much as those Rentheads, but I promise to never be that crazy at a performance of Hamilton!

Unlike Real Housewives, Odd Mom Out is scripted (although I'm sure most of the situations in Real Housewives are made up) so the crazy is just a dramatization.
Anyway,
