Profile for lily carver

Just got email from TDF and I rejoined just to go to this. A birthday present to myself and alas there are no other performances on TDF that I can go to because I leave time Tuesday. Should have gone sooner

THANK YOU!

Does anyone know of discount codes? I really want to go but can't do full priceThanks

Re CITY OF ANGELS, the Stephen King story was not published till 1993 4 years after CITY OF ANGELS premiered so unless Larry Gelbart got some kind of very advanced look that seems unlikely

Did I miss CITY OF ANGELS? I am not aware it is based on anything specific though it obviously parodies/ pays homage to several classic 40s films

Sorry I know this has come up before but sometimes things change. I was wondering if people had a "favorite" among the various services that offer tickets for a nominal fee with membership. I have done Gold Club and Play by Play and am considering Theater Extras . I am open to others. I like a variety of entertainment but mainly theater. Is there much difference between the three above either in shows offered or service ( and obviously please do not mention specific shows)Thanks

As noted A GENTLEMAN'S GUIDE TO LOVE AND MURDER can not be performed in London or indeed most anywhere outside the US. Studio Canal the owner of the film KIND HEARTS & CORONETS sued to stop it in the US saying it violated their copyright but GENTS won a summery judgement saying it was based on the novel which was out of copyright. Frankly having done a little research I am surprised ( but thrilled) that GENTS won the court case because the idea of both one person playing all the victims and m...

yyys said: "Any show you've walked out of at intermission?Just curious after reading this tweet:https://twitter.com/emilynussbaum/status/1657911067916267522" Technically never but last year I walked out right after The Oldest Profession at Encores THE LIFE. I really wanted to see that number but otherwise I would have walked out intermission. I am sure I have seen a couple of thousand plays over many decades ( maybe a few hundred on Broadway)

Deathtrap & The Shining City.

well I actually meant that for James Edwards ( also the name of of the great African American film actors ironically) but I don't post here much and I thought I replied to him but no it would not be OK for any WHITE person ( Jew , Christian, Muslim etc) to play a black person. I am a Jew and I find this discussion nuts. Judaism is not an ethnicity. There is no makeup that will make a white person black or Hispanic no matter how good an actor they are.

Are you equally outraged that a non Jew ( Raul Esparza) is playing Fagin in the encores revival of Oliver?

I can't speak to a specific service but TE is not the one I belong to or started the thread over I will say things have picked up lately. I went to a wonderful concert at Carnegie Hall last week and keep missing ( as in they are gone before I can get them) several off Broadway shows I would go to

The vast majority of the offerings are NOT Broadway shows and I find it hard to believe that all plays, concerts, shows etc don't have a lot of empty seats at the moment. The great thing about these services for an impoverished theater/arts person like me was that I could try out some wonderful work I would probably never have thought to see but right pickings are beyond slim

Thanks for the info and glad to know it is not just "my" service. Alas on my budget even a $50 TDF ticket is a stretch I can only do once in a while so I rely on the seat filler services for most of my theater. Fingers crossed that some things will pop up.

I know not to mention either a specific service or shows but I want to know if anyone else is seeing super crappy options with services. I only belong to one ( I used to belong to two) and generally there are at least a good number of off and off off Broadway plays, concerts etc but in the last two plus weeks it has been awful and January has usually been a good time. I am not expecting Broadway just some interesting preferably plays but also music to see and almost nothing, never seen it thi...

I grew up in Chicago and while Mr. Galati is better known as a director and writer he was at truly great actor. He played Henry Carr in a 1979 production of TRAVESTIES that literally changed my life and turned me into a theater nerd. I also saw a terrific production of 1776 he directed just a few years ago in Sarasota.

Angela Lansbury DID sing in movies prior to being in musicals. She played a cafe singer and sang in THE PICTURE OF DORIAN GRAY ( She sang GOODBYE LITTLE YELLOW BIRD which she reprised in an episode of MURDER SHE WROTE. That was the one that was false.

Is this for ticket from theater or reseller ( do they do both sorry not too up on these things)? preCovid I would go to boxoffice for friends or even friends of friends to get tickets because the fees were CRAZY. I also found the people at the box office super helpful since they obviously know the theater. Whenever possible go directly to box office and you can probably have a nice meal on the money you savel.

I was there tonight and Mr. Cooper made an impassioned speech partly attacking Broadway for not being more open to plays like his.He kept saying Broadway has to change. I found the play thrilling but messy. As a white person there was clearly a lot I was not going to get. I can't imagine in what world anyone could have seen this as a show that could survive on Broadway. Broadway shows need tourists, suburbanites etc to buy tickets. I got my ticket at a steep discount, I am a dedicated theater...

I only have play by play but think it has a good mix of non theater offerings. Very little sports since a reupped in April but good selection of concerts, dance, some offbeat stuff. There have been some MSG events but not sports.
