Unpleasant theater audiences Apr 14
2023, 09:40:38 AM
This behavior occurred last night during Hadestown in Baltimore. The women next to me had a flashlight which she used to look at the playbill but kept accidently shining it at my eyes. Nothing was said but then it got worse. At the beginning of ACT II she did not turn off her flashlight until her husband told her too 1/2 into the initial song.
Then during the singing of "Doubt Comes In", she again turned on the flashlight to look at h

AEA May Strike National Tours April 13 Apr 13
2023, 09:33:43 AM
So far I have read nothing about a strike actually being called so hopefully the talks have been fruitful for the actors. I am assuming tonight's shows are still on so we are heading into town soon and still plan to stay overnight to make travel safer. If anyone has heard anything different can you please let me know.

If you have tickets for an April 13th tour show how worried should you be, especially when hotel reservations have already been made for after the show? To get their hotel refunded they need to cancel by tomorrow afternoon.

Jordan is a very popular Gamer and he is good friends with some of the top Gamers in the world, e.g., Ninja. Gamers promoting a Broadway show is a young untapped market which could be great for Broadway and its future. Besides, Jordan has the talent and personality to make this a win for both sides.

If the show is hoping people come into town they better hope other people do not feel like me. I had tickets in DC, then postponement, then cancellation, it all left a bad taste in my mouth. A co-worker of mine had family members coming into DC for the first dates, then rescheduled them for the second dates and then it was cancelled. Neither of us have current plans to travel to NYC.
On a lighter note, several of the Toronto Ensemble members were in the Ke

I just received a letter from DC's National Theater about the cancellation of Bat Out of Hell. Here is one statement I thought you might be interested in "Because of the size and technical complexity of this spectacular musical, producers have decided to take the show directly to New York rather than tour ...."

Scripts on Stage during KC Stage Shows Feb 10

I think you misunderstand what I meant, We understand it is a semi-staged show, what is misunderstood is "semi-staged" shows means that scripts maybe used on stage.

Scripts on Stage during KC Stage Shows Feb 10
2019, 07:05:26 PM
I now wonder if the Kennedy Center should somehow communicate that scripts maybe used when advertising their Broadway Stage series. I heard several complaints about it during the intermissions so obviously there are other people who do not know it is normal. I have seen almost all of these stage shows, loved them, and cannot wait to see Tommy next.

Scripts on Stage during KC Stage Shows Feb 10
2019, 06:41:04 PM
The last two of the Kennedy Center Broadway Stage shows, Little Shop of Horrors and The Music Man, the lead actors carried and referred to the script during the show. It was a lot more prevalent during Little Shop and slightly distracting, at least in The Music Man Norm Lewis also used it as a prop so it was not distracting. I am curious, is the need to occasionally use scripts on stage normal for these type of special "Off-Broadway" stage shows.

BAT OUT OF HELL Will Play 8 Weeks At NY City Center In 2019 Nov 13

persephone88 said: "I also got an email update today about my May tickets being transferred to a July date. No mention of row or seat number. I ordered these things the day tickets went on sale for DC and had front row Center mezzanine seats. If they have given me worse seats, I will be really annoyed."
You get the same seats that you brought in May and you are not the only one who is deciding whether to wait to see what happens or just get the money back now.

BEETLEJUICE - Pre-Broadway Tryout in DC Oct 20
2018, 07:54:14 PM
I also saw the show this afternoon, enjoyed it and here are some random thoughts. The 1st act does need some work, trying to build the story through mostly song did not work for me. As for the opening number and introducing Beetlejuice at that time, I liked it and I thought it had to be done for the story. I was surprised on how much I liked Alex as Beetlejuice and I learned that he could really sing. The only change I would recommend is stop the scrat

This musical is coming to DC's National Theater in March for two days. I read that the show is based on the music from Foreigner and it premiered in Canada, Calgary and then Edmonton, mid August. Does anyone know how well this show was received, is it a musical, a concert or both?
