I was VERY impressed how CTGLA handled subscriber pre-sale for Oh, Mary to buy additional tickets. They gave plenty of reminders via email, and offered discounts for all seats for subscribers. They emailed many reminders warning that the clock was ticking until general pre-sale and once pre-sale starts it would be harder.

Still hoping he brings it to Los Angeles after. It only makes sense....right?

I thought it was just ok. If you are not looking at the right spot at the right time, you miss some of the scares. Then when you hear half the audience screaming- you are looking around but it's too late. Unlike a movie where they can zoom in exactly where you need to look. Subtle creeps are not meant for the stage.

It would be great to get a Los Angeles out of town tryout so the community can experience this.

I agree with you however, there seems to be something missing. I would love to know what show(s) you would consider a wow.

They are also bringing the non-equity Music Man to the Ahmanson for over a month, and it is not part of the subscription. That's...odd. Our CTG:FWD programming expands the experience even further with special events and bonus shows, including the return of Dog Man: The Musical and Clue, as well as Meredith Willson’s The Music Man and Riverdance 30 – The New Generation—and this is all just the beginning with a lineup at the Kirk Douglas Theatre to be announced later this spring.

Center Theatre Group announced today: Our season kicks off with the world premiere musical The Turning, a haunting, folk-infused journey set among California’s sequoias at the Taper. At the Ahmanson, we welcome the wildly funny, Tony Award-winning Oh, Mary! straight from Broadway. These shows are followed by the exuberant Destiny of Desire by Karen Zacarías, the North American premiere of Christmas Carol Goes Wrong, National Yiddish Theatre Folksbiene’s acclaimed Fiddler on the Roof in Yiddis...

Towards the end a lot of comps were given out (I had a friend receive some). Now that I think of it, I guess that technically qualifies as being sold out.... as there are butts in the seats?

Liza's instagram account reports that it is sold out. Anyone who has been watching ticket sales knows that is not entirely true: https://www.instagram.com/p/DWASj9fD6Jp/

Someone made a comparison of about 6 signed books. All have the word Love then Liza THEN a happy face drawn in. It seems crazy that she would spend the time to add love and doodle a happy face to that many books. https://ibb.co/1GQCpLcx

Yes, Oh Mary is a tricky addition to any tour stop. Though...Avenue Q played at the Ahmanson. I'll be mad if they make Oh Mary a add on- as every year I ask myself why I renew my subscription.

The Ahmanson subscriber base would love Just In Time. When Jersey Boys first played there, it was the talk of the town.

When the Pantages had the Hamilton sit down, they rented the Dolby Theatre down the street to have their season. The Ahmanson and Pantages don't work together (besides sometimes sharing mailing lists)

Does anyone have any insights why this is playing 5 day engagements? I'm a bit surprised by that. I hope the LA stop in a bit longer...

He made a Covid joke and a Stamos joke. I dunno if he was at full vocal capacity, but could sell it and the audience was shocked to see him (a great hidden entrance behind feathers) and loved him.

While it can sometime be annoying to get in and out of the bowl, once you're in it- the sound is amazing.

Saw the tour in LA and was so happy to see such a strong production in magnificent shape. My only gripe, were the projections. With the set as it is, with the large rectangle box in the middle, it is impossible to see many of the projections from different parts of the orchestra. Many people around me were complaining each time a new projection appeared.

I am so impressed by the amount of love and care that is put into this tour. I assume it's the producers doing the work?

The worst season I've seen. I believe I'll be canceling my subscription. To follow 2:22 A Ghost Story with Paranormal Activity is so odd. Also, Mama Mia was at the Pantages just a few years ago.I could have sworn that &Juliet was part of this season? I guess I'll just have to buy a single ticket for next.
