I’m a vegetarian - not a vegan. That said, your family friend’s attitude makes for a tiring way to go through life, when every moment brings opportunities for disappointment and righteous indignation. I am all for treating animals with kindness and compassion, but this individual is unable to enjoy great art because she expects the world to reflect her particular worldview. The world would be a better place with less meat consumption for many reasons - dietary, environmental, etc. - but this ...

For those who have seen this, what seating advice would you have? On the date I’m considering, Telecharge Offers has availability in the side orchestra (relatively close to the stage), side front mezzanine, and center rear mezzanine. Is this a show where close proximity is ideal, even if it’s a side view? Farther away but closer to center? I know a lot of this comes down to personal preference, but I wonder if this particular show makes a certain vantage point ideal.

In anticipation of upcoming travel, I just purchased a pair of Audio Technica ANC-9s. They are very good - though not as great as the newest Bose headphones - at noise cancellation, but they have wonderful sound. Also, they’re less than half the price of the top-of-the-line Bose headphones. They’re a great value. No complaints after two months. All my favorite cast recordings, including Hamilton, SITPWG, Caroline or Change, etc. sound gorgeous.

The Hudson or Belasco seem like a good fit, and their current tenants probably won’t be around much longer.Circle in the Square would be exciting, but the Edmonton production makes me think they’re ...

Wow! Congrats to OOTI. Huge surprise, but based on that performance tonight a well-deserved win.

poisonivy2 said: "OOTI performance was great. Still not enough to save the show but lovely performance."Phenomenal performance. If I lived 200 miles closer to NY I’d buy tickets right now.

Broadwaystar26 said: "Shows were garbage this season... anyone that liked bands visit must have an extremely boring life... it has the “ cool” factor of pretending you liked it so you can fit in with the critics... hands down going in and walking out , frozen was best bang for your buck... as for spongebob , i cant take a nickelodeon show seriously... what’s next beavis and butthead?"Gee, all this time I thought I adored The Band’s Visit because it uses beautiful music and exquisite performan...

BroadwayConcierge said: "The Band's Visit, unquestionably. Transporting, haunting, emotional. Gorgeous, sweeping score. It profoundly captures the power ofhuman connection. One of my favorite musicals of all time."This.

I can’t speak for the front row, but I loved my experience in the second row - being so close to the actors, seeing their every facial expression and hearing every sigh, made this show even more beautiful on my return trip. I had to look up slightly, but I didn’t find this much of an issue. And it’s only one act! FWIW, I sat in row L my first visit, and that is also a fantastic seat if you like seeing the whole stage and don’t want to be quite so close.

Let me start by acknowledging, yes, I know there is a dedicated board for West End topics, but it’s rather, um, quiet over there. Also, I’m looking for the perspectives of regular Broadway patrons who have also visited Theatreland. I don’t post terribly often, but I’ve come to value the opinions of many on the Broadway board and would welcome their insights and recommendations.My wife and I are strongly considering a winter trip to London, which would include catching HADESTOWN along with sev...

For what it’s worth, after TBV Tony Shaloub signed my mother-in-law’s Schmackery’s cookie tin. So I’m sure many performers would be willing to sign your cap, particularly when you explain your rationale. Oh, and congratulations!

Heroes are admirable, but villains are fun.

I have the opportunity to subscribe to the Hippodrome but it's a little further out of my way.and I'd rather the KC or National if they'll have the same shows.Thanks!"I’ve also been wondering about the National. This article (https://dctheatrescene.com/2017/04/01/national-theatres-2017-2018-season/) suggests they announced last year in early April, so we may have a few more weeks to wait.

I'll call around and see what our options are, if anything I'll make sure we're off the roads during the worst of it."https://thebandsvisitmusical.com/winter/See above. You shouldn’t have any trouble exchanging tickets before noon tomorrow. Good luck and safe travels. You’ll love the show - whenever you get to see it!

Any reports on Dariush Kashani, the new Tewfiq?
