Wow. That was pretty bad. I don’t see this surviving past the holidays.

Couldn’t agree more about that last audience. I’m so glad I saw it several times prior. One of my favorite moments is the ‘Let’s get a look at you’ and then the bright spotlight on Nicole and the orchestra soaring. I just find it really simply beautiful. But as soon as that spotlight hit the stage there was this standing ovation blocking the view and pulling me out of a moment. Then there’s the overhead clappers that continue to block your view even if you’re standing! Sigh.

Not surprised either. Let’s let Gypsy rest for a few decades. Please!

Saw this tonight, well 1/2 of it. In the 22 years of living in NYC, seeing countless shows, this is the very first time I have left at intermission. It was so disappointing and boring to me. Thank god it was a lotto ticket.

Can’t believe it’s been almost 22 years. used to post quite a bit in the early years, now I take a look once in a while to see what people are saying about a particular show/topic.

I get why the Olivier Awards performance was polarising, but it was still thrilling, even more so in the actual performamce.Does Sally still use a hand held mic in some songs? That still baffles me..."She does. I was legitimately wondering if her mic went out. But I think the emcee also used it at times. I don’t really get it if someone would care to explain.

I was there last night and thought Gayle Rankin was the strongest in the cast. She’s gritty yet vulnerable. I really enjoyed her performance. Unfortunately she was paired with the weakest member of the cast Ato Blankson-Wood as Cliff. Their pairing just didn’t work for me. Other thoughts: while I enjoyed this production, it does not have the same emotional impact the Sam Mendes/Rob Marshall production had for me….especially the ending.the cost of this production is obviously in the transforma...

I won the lottery and seats were left orchestra row K seats 9 & 11. Great view. when the show started, I thought to myself ‘oh boy, this may have been a mistake’ but I ended up really enjoying it and really moved in the 2nd act. Plus now I have a little crush on Danny Kornfeld. :)

I sat in FF 208 and on the whole it was great. There are a few things that happen at the back of the stage which I missed…..mostly in the first act. But for $40 I can’t complain given the prices of more central sets. The HH 101 102 seats will have a better view I think.

I was able to get a rush ticket for last night. I didn’t know anything plot wise going in and I have to say I really enjoyed it. Great cast. There is a lot to unpack and I find myself thinking about it and so feel like it warrants a 2nd viewing. last night, there wasn’t any singing during the finale. also there were still rush tickets available at 3:30 pm so maybe they did release more tickets?

RIP. I have never laughed as much in the theater as I did seeing Dame Edna live. A truly great comedic genius in my opinion.

Where was your TDF seat? I almost purchased, but feared I’d be in the rear mezz and I really hate that enclosed feeling.

So far, Paradise Square is the only performance that has made me want to buy a ticket.

I could be mistaken, but I thought there was a lottery or rush through TodayTix. I guess there still could be, but it no longer shows it on the app.

I was in the front row on the right side first 2 seats on the aisle.

I won the Assassins lottery last week, but missed the 30 minute window by about 10 minutes…..

I figured I’d just try my luck with the lottery if I am going to see this. Well I won the lottery for tonight, but didn’t see the notification until it was too late. I was 10 minutes too late. Just fyi they only give you 30 minutes to claim.

Won Jagged Little Pill on my first try for last Saturday matinee. Front row on the side.

And her sibling is voiced by Titus burgess. Can’t we just celebrate that this cast as very diverse? I guess it’s also ‘problematic’ that 2 of the female characters are voiced by males. I find that funny and entertaining. I just don’t think this is a show we need to judge the casting
