Two decent orchestra seats for the same price seems like the better deal.But when people are paying that amount for Othello or Just in Time signed windowcards, this is all seems apropo?

"A Place Called Home" from the Alan Menken A Christmas Carol fits the bill, I think.

Thank you! I figured the holiday weekend might have factored into the delay but am probably just being paranoid due to the hassle just to obtain tickets in the first place:))

Managed to secure a pair of tickets last Monday but am wondering if has anyone on this board actually received tickets from Telecharge yet? Supposedly tickets were to be mailed out within 5 days of purchase. Thanks in advance!

tomwsjr said: "I know it’s cold and flu season, but Audra’s attendance record in musicals historically hasn’t been good. The producers must not be happy, cancelingthis soon in the run will prevent people from purchasing tickets in advance." Sure it will. Here's hoping for a speedy recovery for the company members out sick.

Based on show-score.com, this board and my own reaction to this show plus the anecdotes of others in this thread I believe that the noise around this production reflectssomething.I don’t mind that the show got raves as I said before this I kind of low key hoped they’d be kind because it’s not good fo...

OhHiii said: "Again. People are allowed to disagree with others on this production. If you like it and find that it works, great. Just as many people feel it doesn’t. Both are valid."It works. Audra is giving the best performance of the season. A performance that might not be a carbon copy of itself every single night.

End of act 1.A very different Rose than Betty Buckely's steely and intimadating characterization at Paper Mill playhouse, Bernadette's sexy and vulnerable Rose, and Patti's bulldozer of a performance. Audra is a very human, determined, driven Rose with layers of hurt that no doubt will be unmined as previews progress.
