Thanks for all the recommendations! Sure seems like Hell's Kitchen is out - ha. Think I'll try to get in to The Outsiders...

I never thought I'd have this problem (because who has performances on a Monday??), but I'll be in NY on Monday April 8, and there are 3 shows that look intriguing. I only have 1 slot left on the whole trip.Should I pick Hell's Kitchen, Gatsby, or The Outsiders?

Hi all -Can't find this after digging through the other forum threads, but are there any Beetlejuice shows that Alex Brightman is scheduled to be out? Or is he doing all 8 shows each week? Same question for Elizabeth Teeter, I suppose.Looking to see it when I'm out there in early Dec, but have heard so many great things about Brightman specifically that I want to make sure it lines up.Thanks- Josh

I know that the entire book has been rewritten with Kyle Jarrow - I've never gotten to see the stage version (love the album), but am excited to see it when I'm out there at the end of Jan.

Has anyone had a chance to see the new staging of Whisper House at 59E59? Thoughts/reviews?

I was worried about turning Alanis's distinctive voice/sound into Broadway songs, but they just released You Learn (with a little of Thank U at the end) and it sounds good! I'll definitely be heading out to see this in the fall: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WsQsieYwhrk

Not sure what else happens in the Squip seats, but I can't really remember anything about the show that will be super horrible from up close (I was maybe 15 rows back). About liking it or not - I'm 41, and liked it for what it was. Didn't change my life, but I didn't hate it. It was bright, and poppy, and the time passed quickly. I like what was said above - just go in with an open mind.

Just got a signed Playbill back from Be More Chill - took about 7 weeks? No donation requested. Also sent Alice By Heart at the same time - guessing that one's not going to get back to me. :)

Ippudo (westside) for ramen is a must for me...

Still waiting for Ride the Cyclone...

So - I'm hearing a lot about how the Squip changed from pre-Broadway to Broadway. I only got to see it for the first time last week, and was not a huge fan of the "Keanu"-ish voice and mannerisms. Was it something different before? Was the costume (silver suit) different before?

Saw this on Wednesday afternoon when I was in NYC and agree with basically everyone in parts. I really enjoyed it - I found it really easy to follow, but was also OK with being confused a little - Alice the book is confusing in parts! Set looked awesome, and I'm generally a sucker for Duncan Sheik songs - both his own, and Spring Awakening/Whisper House.I'm glad that someone else was confused by Alice's relationship with Alfred. I was too - at first I thought he was her brother, but it turned...

I am making my way to the show today and would love to catch him in it!"Saw the show on Wednesday night and he wasn’t back in - but Troy Iwata was AWESOME (he was the only Michael I’ve seen, so nothing to compare it to, but was very happy). Was he George Salazar back in tonight?

Quick question: has aynyone gotten anything from Be More Chill since it transferred? Just saw it Wednesday night, and was hoping to get a signed Playbill - any word on if they’re asking for a donation?

There isn’t much chat about it here on the forums."I saw In & Of Itself last time I was in NYC and can't recommend it highly enough. It's a 1-man magic show, kind of, but it's also a show about identity and manipulation. If you're interested in learning more, there are some good reviews (NYT, others) and the guy, Derek DelGaudio, went on Colbert and they ha...

Just to remind people to NEVER give up hope - I sent to Phantom at the end of October, and got a signed playbill back (with a nice note asking to not sell it) on April 12. About 5 and a half months - but was awesome to get it!Josh

I sent to Sweeney back when Norm Lewis was in it and got a cast-signed Playbill back in maybe 3 weeks? I just sent straight to the Barrow Street Theatre.Josh

Hi all -I'm assuming this is kind of a long shot, but I was wondering if anyone had a Waitress Playbill from April of 2017 (with that cast in it). I saw it April 25, 2017, but sent away my one Playbill to get signed... and it wasn't returned. They're nice souvenirs, and wondering if anyone can help out.Thanks!Josh

I'm looking for a Sara Waitress Playbill - preferably from April. I saw the show on 4/25, then sent in my Playbill to be signed and never got it back. Since then, I've made a point to get 2 from each show. :)Josh
