I saw this via lottery ticket on saturday night.. i was center mezzanine row G which was a pretty good seat to see everything. FYI - Outrageous line was down to sixth avenue.. once they started letting us in - it was quick. Kids were walking up and down the line a QR code to order merch from the line... giving money grab vibes to me.The Reddit crowd is over the moon for this show. I (and the friend I went with) are fans of the movie but we are early 60's now. Maybe I'm too old to see it but a...

Excellent seats even in the rear orchestra!"These same seats are $55 on Telecharge without a code or $46 if you buy at the box office. I know it's not up to TDF what seats are given but this is a terrible deal."Mabe a one off because it was Easter Sunday? Next Sunday Telecharge is showing $186 plus fees for rear orchestra.

Sauja said: "I wanted to like this, but I struggled from the start to believe in either of these characters as actual flesh and blood people. The NY obsessed film geek who confuses NY with “Tinseltown” or the depressed yearner who lets herself become quickly charmed by him in spite of the deeply complicated circumstances. It felt twee and unrealistic but also not quite stylized enough for it to get a pass for being stylized. And listen, I am all for shows being two acts, but never has materia...

gibsons2 said: "Those who won the lottery for this, what seats were you given?"I won the lottery for tonight's show, and my seats are row c left mezzanine. View from your seat shows a good view from so I think it'll be fine.I checked on reddit and it seems like a lot of people got an assortment of orchestra seats, so I was a little bummed about it. One person got the "very last row in the balcony last week" and still called it a "phenomenal view". I can't do balcony (vertigo) but there you ha...

i saw this yesterday and thought it was awful. Like, embarrassing.Terrible writing. So hokey. Should be an hour shorter. So much technical speak that sounds like charlie brown's teachers talking. Word Salad. Some stiff acting .. many line flubs and prop flubs. Over the top caricature presentation of a Greek diner owner and all the requisite jokes played over and over and over ad nauseum. If I could have, I would have groaned loudly every time we had to see the same scene over. The last scene ...

I wonder what i missed with Uranowitz. This is the character that I would most relate to, and I didn't get anything from him. I found the whole show came to life when Josh Henry was on the stage and otherwise was muted. Maybe it's the night I saw, and they've settled in better since.

I saw the first preview via the lottery and i was surprised that no one in my vicinity -- at least the folks I talked to were also lottery winners. I think it was worth it for that price and certainly to have my own opinion of the show not shaped by message boards.

I was in a lottery ticket in the mezz left and the place was packed and buzzy. I was surprised at how young the crowd was.. the girl to my left was a teen and was overjoyed by everything she saw on stage. I gave her my poster and she asked me 3x 'are you sure?'. To my left was a couple who seemed to be there for KC and was disappointed overall but, I think, giving it a chance to improve. It seemed they didn't expect it to be great but were still surprised to see that it wasn't. The 15 min int...

RexInLights said: "I am sad to say that I found this production quite unmoving. The material is incredible. Ragtime has been of my absolute favorite musicals since I first saw it in 1998. There is some very good singing and strong performances on that stage. Henry sings the hell out of the score, and I found Uranowitz, Ross, and Lewis very good. That being said, this production is completely listless. There is no energy or connection on that stage. I’ve never foundDeBessonet to be a particula...

First lottery appeared on lucky seat today for tomorrow and I won. Still not sure I'll go but it was a suprise as it's been awhile since I've won one.

None of these are sold out shows not needing discount codes.With the way prices are these days, I can no longer afford to see anywhere near as much as I used to. The ones who release good discounts first, are the ones I will be purchasing, and the ones taking the gamble are the ones I likely won't." got a Ragtime flyer in the mail yesterday - promo code is LCTRAGTIMEO...

quizking101 said: "Also, the environment of the show seemed to foster a notion that taking videos and photos were okay.There was absolutely no preshow announcement about turning phones off and I’ve never seen ushers spend so much time running the aisles to flag patrons. If I’m being honest, if they didn’t want spoilers, THIS of ALL shows should be the one using Yondr pouches" I saw it last night with my adult son and our usher specifically told every single person to put their phone away befo...

Auggie27 said: "Just got my TDF for a matinee. I'd venture a guess that this isn't a Wednesday matinee kind of show " I saw this from the front row center (lottery win) yesterday afternoon. As far as I could tell - the audience loved it ... laughed a lot. I teared up momentarily near the end but really enjoyed the music and durand's voice was beautiful. Well worth it for one of the lower priced lottery tickets out there.

If someone would have told me at the onset of thisseason that a Mamet play at the Palace would a) outsell a new Elton John musical in the same venue and b) fill the Palace stage better than saidbig splashy new musical, I would have laughed out loud, but here we are!"I treated my brother to third row for this last nig...

I saw this last night and had a hard time keeping my eyes open. I was jealous of the couple sitting next to my friend and I who left at intermission. I think it may be the worse thing I've ever seen on Broadway .. mostly because I usually pick things I know I will like. I was not familiar with the story or the music ahead of time. I saw bluegrass mentioned in something I saw and my husband was a fan of that genre and played in jams and died in 2022 so it holds a place in my heart. Aside from ...

i saw this on March 7 so I wonder where they were in terms of edits .. the first half was very good and the crowd was with them .. despite too much narration. The second half - dragged. So many long monologues and cast was dropping words making it even harder to follow. I got a pair from TDF and we were center row B in the mezzanine. Perfect view. Nice set.
