Does anyone know if “It’s You” is still cut? I can’t imagine why they would take this impossibly charming, 2-minute song out of the show. It’s one of my favorites. I hate that they’ve done so and I’m desperately hoping they corrected this error.

Could the play have been “Where There’s A Will There’s A Murder”? The plot you’re describing is quite similar.

I’m in the audience tonight. Can anyone tell me what seat Sondheim sat in?

Ouch.Outside of Amy Adams and Julianne Moore, very little of this worked for me. So glad someone else mentioned the overwrought-ness of Platt’s performance. The tears and the bulging veins took me right out of the piece, as well. I, too, was left thinking “he’s really really going for that Oscar.”I saw Platt on stage twice and what I found moving the first time, I found mannered and manipulative the second. I walked away from the second performance wondering if he is the wonder kid the hype m...

The person that needed to hear that is Marc Platt (and his son, Ben).

Sutton wrote: “Awesome! She's not in it of course in New York but DO YOU.” This was settled by Huss417 the end of August.

Good Lord, the self-satisfaction. My head hurts.

Jordan Levinson said: " Currently 53% on Rotten Tomatoes (and an ugly 44% among top critics) based on 19 reviews… but the Post liked it. Love letter to Platt, who Johnny Oleksinski says will “pummel you in the end.”" I suspect Mr. Okeksinski has it backwards.

Her announced last performance (10/31) is a Siunday. So, yes, it’s confusing.

Check out the theatre’s Wiki page. Some interesting bits of info there, including how the original plan called for an optional rollback of the ceiling (!!!!) so the stars could be seen above. And a remodel in the 50s, when it went back to a legit house, which removed the theatre’s Broadway entrance AND the balcony! The rake of the L-F rear-mezz is steep, so I can’t imagine what the balcony sight lines were! I wonder if it was anything like the Palace’s balcony (holy smokes, you’re in the raft...

A View From My Seat includes a pic/review of orchestra Left, Seat 13, Row H. That’s the last seat on the extreme side. The review mentions it’s an aisle seat. This means there’s an aisle between the last seat and the wall.There’s a second pic/review of Orchestra Right, Row j, Seat 16, that mentions it is an aisle seat. This means there’s an aisle between the last seat and the wall on the other side of the theatre, as well.In addition, the TINA FAQ page has a question about handicapped/accessi...

I’m confident that the orchestra has four aisles, including aisles between the extreme far/last seats and the wall. This is not the case with the mezzanine, which, if I recall correctly (and a quick Google image search supports) the side sections butt up against a wall. At least, that is the case for the rear mezz. You’re better off in the orchestra and purchasing an aisle seat — it’s worth the price to get a great view and avoid a panic attack. Have fun! And happy anniversary!
