Surprised that nobody has pointed out that this show is participating in the 20at20 promotion that runs through Sep 24. Got in line around 7pm, had no problem getting $20 tickets (which go on sale 20 minutes before performance time), had stage seats in the first of the two rows on the stage. And yes, I liked the show!

Saw Noah give a knockout performance a few years ago in a staged reading of a new musical SMALL TOWN STORY -  really looking forward to see him in the cast! 

.... and a bit more trivia: Tom O'Horgan  had all 3 theaters on 47th St home to shows he directed. Along with INNER CITY, HAIR continued on at the Biltmore, and LENNY sat across the street at the Brooks Atkinson.

Don't forget that there is also a TKTS booth at Lincoln Center which opens at noon. Here's link for the daily info http://www.nytix.com/TKTS/TKTS-lincoln-center.php

Here you go ..... just received email

Agree with the above comments  - and indeed I have sat on a far end of the back row (not for this show) , and the stage view is fine. I did sit center next-to-last row for DEH and the view is perfect. Because of the projections, etc  the mezz may very well be a more satisfying experience for many people.

I was so pleased when it was announced that this would be at the Music Box  -  except for the box seats, you cannot have a bad location. Over the years I have literally sat in the last row of the mezzanine at the far end  - and had a perfect view.

Sounds like this might be a great place for a break during Sunday's Broadway Flea Market!

Two of my favorite musicals never made it from the West End to Broadway:

1) THE CARD - Great score and script, starred Jim Dale, Marti Webb and Millicent Martin. (Alec Guiness did the non-musical film sometimes retitled as The Promoter.)

2) WINDY CITY - terrific fast-paced and tuneful adaptation of The Front Page -  all the fun of the original with a great score.) 

 

 

I'd be perfectly happy if Smokey Joe's Café really happens and lands back here.

A few months ago I saw Kim David Smith's  solo performance in Manhattan, and I mentioned to my companion that he would be PERFECT for the emcee in CABARET.  And now, there it is  - probably won't have the opportunity to see it, but those who do should be in for a treat.
