I bought two tickets about a week apart for Leopoldstadt and we were seated together (center orchestra row N). 


Pi / Akimbo / Leopold

Is Brandon Uranowitz remaining with the production or have any scheduled vacations coming up? I have tickets for next week and really wanted to see him in it!


LEOPOLDSTADT Reviews

Did Leopoldstadt ever officially announce an extension? Telecharge is selling tickets March 12.


ASL Extreme Side Tickets

I also sat in PV orchestra row E for my first (and only time so far). I was great. Despite missing a thought box, I don't feel like I missed anything.

I saw some pretty obstructed view posts from TikTok, but this was the far side of the balcony not mezz.

INTO THE WOODS Reviews

Has anyone sat in the front left orchestra? They have Row B seats for $79 listed as partial view next to $299 full view seats so I was wondering how partial they mean by partial view? I generally don't mind a partial view seat but I don't want a completely obstructed view if I can avoid it. 


Music Man Rush Line.

Rushed on Sunday 5/8. The first person got there around 5:30, second 6:15, then 3-6 all showed up right at 7:15. Then a steady trickle after 8:15. It was mother's day and raining at first so maybe quieter because of that. Seats were partial view front side orchestra. 


Music Man Rush Line.

Any recent rush experiences? Do you need to arrive earlier than 6 or is 6 generally safe? 


TAKE ME OUT Previews

I'm looking at seats and there's partial view seats (right next to premium) in the side orchestra (Orchestra E6). Does anyone know how much of the stage is obstructed?


PARADISE SQUARE Chicago Pre-Broadway Tryout - Previews

I saw a preview last week and I agree with everything gingersnap2 said. This show has potential, but need significant revisions, not small tweaks. Right now the biggest problem is that the show simply hasn't decided what it's about. It wasn't until Act II when you really start to figure out who we care about and what the plot is going to be at all. That's not to say that things don't happen in Act I, but there's no forward momentum. For me this started with the opening


HADESTOWN will return on September 2

The code is just AMEX
If YA Books Were Musicals . . .

I just wanna put my two cents in that Love Simon would translate so well to a musical.

Not YA, but I also feel like in the right hands Room could be a really powerful and understated musical. I'm thinking reuniting Jeanine Tesori and Lisa Kron for this one. 


Discount Codes

Not a discount code, but Hadestown tickets for 2/26 are much, much lower than any other date. $164 for premium center orchestra, $84 for side orchestra,  $76 for front mezzanine. There are still quiet a few seats still available too. 


If you could see any 8 shows in one week...

1) OBC Sunday in the Park
2) OBC Fun Home (I missed Sydney Lucas)
3) OBC Hadestown
4) Pippin Revival
5) A Little Night Music (Bernadette Peters and Elaine Stritch)
6) Falsettos Revival
7) OBC Ragtime
8) OBC Bright Star (really sad I missed that one)

Songs That Sound An Awful Lot Like Other Songs

Not exactly what you're going for here, but the chime notification on iPhone always sounds like the start of Old Friends from Merrily we roll along to me.

Rate the 2019 Tony Performances

1. Oklahoma: A. Despite *hating* this production, I thought this performance was fantastic. Although that's partially because everyone besides Rebecca Naomi Jones seemed to sing the title song completely differently than they do in the show. 

2. Hadestown: A-. I think this was the wrong number to choose, but it was still gorgeous. I wish they had gone with Way Down Hadestown instead and given more spotlight to Amber.

What were your biggest theatrical disappointments of the season...

I was definitely most disappointed by Oklahoma! I went into so excited for this reimagining and convinced I was going to love it. I did not.

I was most surprised by Gary. I went in only to see Nathan Lane but the entire show and cast blew me away. I’ve never laughed that hard.
