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

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.

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.

Yes.  There are actual playbills.  They say Kit Kat Club.  

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.
