I am also thinking of front mezzanine seats as well for $275. I know you are further away but you get to see the whole stage. I did hear this is one show where you absolutely need to sit close to the stage so that you can see John Lithgow's raw acting so it may be worth the extra money for better seats?

I am trying to see this show possibly Friday evening for $350 and I am choosing btwn either orchestra right A4 or center orchestra c105.Anybody sat in those seats or nearby? Worth sitting orchestra right A4 (front row)? Is the stage high?

Took a financial loss -- yeah, I tried to go through Telecharge myself, but they won't only offer refunds if the show is cancelled. Their position is basically "Too bad, so sad." Telecharge had a stick up their arse about it and I simply had to lose out $300 for an orchestra seat (albeit front row).Now sure if there's anything I could do right now. Basically SOL. I simply couldn't risk going to NYC today b/c of the sleet and freezing weather. I will reach out to Telecharge tomorrow to see if ...

I meant to say Telecharge! I edited my original post for clarification. I'm so sorry for the confusion.

Usually they will lower the prices, but not substantially. Sometimes they would give those premium seats to insiders, e.g. those who either worked on the production itself, or are family and friends with the cast and crew. Other times, premium seats go to those who work on Broadway in general or media or influencers.

I have a ticket to The Music Man for today's (12/23) matinee performance I need to get rid of!Telecharge has refused to refund my ticket even though I explicitly explained to them that I travel by train (NJ Transit) from central NJ to New York City, and I cannot make today's matinee performance due to inclement weather! But Telecharge is giving me a hard time over it! I am willing to offer a MAJOR discount for my ticket! Front row orchestra seat! For $250! Please message me your e-mail addres...

Well, this new batch of musicals coming this fall. None of them really excite me except A Beautiful Noise, KPOP, and the 1776 revival. Maybe Almost Famous? Can't see Streets of Fire being any worse? Especially since they could simply use the already popular soundtrack for the musical numbers along with some original songs.

Maybe not the best actor in the world, but that is not a problem, not a problem at all."I saw King Kong the Musical and they incorporate giant screens to depict chase scenes.Pyrotechnics I think are feasible but have to be limited and take into account safety measures. I actually envision Streets of Fire if made into a musical having a giant screen to fit with the ret...

I watched the 1984 cult classic Streets of Fire, directed by the legendary Walter Hill. This movie has literally everything: action for the boys, romance for the girls, and a number of musical performances. This one stars Michael Pare and Diane Lane when she was in her late teens. I really like this movie and think it's the ideal date movie as it has something for everybody.And I was thinking: this one would be a really brilliant musical. I'm surprised nobody has even considered adopting this...

I know it probably wants to, especially with the praise for Mare Winningham for Tony Award season. But, who knows?"Stick a fork in Girl from the North Country; it's done. It probably ain't coming back.

I should make clear that the list below refers to shows that have been permanently closed in the last couple weeks due (at least in part) to COVID.but yeah, there were a couple of shows that didn't survive the initial shutdown (Mean Girls, Frozen). pagereynolds said: "aEnigma7345 said: "So far, for those keeping score, list of Broadway shows permanently closed (at least in part) due to COVID:DianaJagged Little PillThoughts of a Colored ManWaitressAin't Too ProudFlying Over SunsetTo Kill a Moc...

So far, for those keeping score, list of Broadway shows permanently closed (at least in part) due to COVID:DianaJagged Little PillThoughts of a Colored ManWaitressAin't Too ProudFlying Over SunsetTo Kill a Mockingbird (?) (may reopen at a smaller venue?) Mrs. Doubtfire (on hiatus)The Girl from the North Country (may reopen at a smaller venue)

I will try to catch Ain't Too Proud sometime in January before it closes.

Slave Play was never a commercial hit. Even in this era of woke enlightened progressive politics, this show never resonated with audiences. And audiences right now probably are not in the mood to see a downbeat show about slavery. My guess is that the "major" show that's going to be cancelled is either Aladdin or Hadestown (if we are talking about "hit" shows), though I suspect that the show that is announcing it will be closed will either be Ain't Too Proud or Tina.

The Tony performance and win was great, but by this point, I don't think the general public really cares about who is in it."I saw Tina ...

Yeah, I read that Ryan Vasquez just performed as Aaron Burr and completely nailed it.Interestingly, it looks like this is the first time a Caucasian guy has a lead role in Hamilton. Yeah, i know he has a Hispanic surname, but he could easily pass as white. Kinda curious to see how a Caucasian guy interprets the role.

Thanks for your thorough review, conealpetterson.I don't think anybody is going to compare to the original cast. They are just perfect, especially their chemistry. And they just defined their roles; all the subsequent actors will have to live up their legacy. It's difficult to replicate Daveed Diggs b/c he just brings such a unique angle to his role as Marquis de Lafayette and Thomas Jefferson. Plus, Diggs is a master rapper. He can bust those rhymes like nobody's business. Just trying to rap...

True, but King George III has been the only main role in Hamilton that is reserved for a Caucasian actor. Though Jin Ha (Korean American) has also played King George III on several occasions in Chicago. Interestingly, Javier Munoz was actually an understudy for King George at one point before taking over the role of Hamilton! as for Ryan Vasquez, he's Caucasian looking and could pass for white. Same for Carleigh Bettiol. I am aware that Vasquez is a Spanish name (I think Colombian if I recall...

This show is on my hit list of Broadway shows to see! Saw it back in the mid 90s as a teenager and loved it!

I was there last night and Joshua Henry was Burr.Watched a clip of Ryan Vasquez on YouTube performing "She Used to be Mine" from the Waitress Broadway show. Pretty good singer, a bit raw. He looked a bit nervous and seemed to have tried to overcompensate a bit by acting goofy at times (perhaps as a defense mechanism b/c audiences were laughing at him, I suppose b/c he was singing a song that ...
