No caps.  Unless religion or medical reason are in the mix.  I was at CATS on Saturday and the cap wearer's seemed like out of town clueless maga yokels. [some of whom left at intermission...go figure].

Is there any buzz about GI?  It's moments like this that I miss M Reidel's tea.

Re: RHPS I saw the 2002 revival multiple times and have been a fan forever.  The Circle in the Square cast and productions set a very high bar...

I know neither of these has opened yet, and I also know that they are NOT playing on Broadway [yet]…but what have you heard about:

The Maids and Girl Interrupted ? 

 

 

What would you recommend?  

Off topicish: Catherine Tate has been cast as a West End Oh Mary, would love to see her do this.

You win the day with this comment.  Well done!

Agreed, the pratfalls and that 360 degree spin on the floor (twice no less) was cringe.

I was expecting to be blown away and left thinking they have a lot to fix.  At times you could not understand Ashford.  Josh was good.  The set was expensive regional theater looking.  Jeanna de Waal was in for Ruthie and she was a highlight. The lighting was unremarkable, the sound was BAD.

You are correct for the most part. 

I was in row A seat 107 last night, there was no issue with the railing. 

So its a choice between best new Play and best new Musical. 

I have one slot left to book for my upcoming NYC excursion.  I have these three that I would love to see (i understand the full spectrum of differences between each of them...however please guide me. Thanks...

I went to the first preview of Ragtime on Broadway and saw it at least three more times, so GREAT!   I will see you at this in-concert version...YES! 

Hi,  what are the best seat locations for this at St. Ann's? 

Hi,

I called Audience Rewards (866-313.9635)  and got the pre sales codes and then call Tele-charge and gave them the regular price seats code and it WORKED. didn't have to wait for the email. I got B 103-104 for $189 each

Here's the codes:

CMAUDREG - reg

CMAUPMID - mid prem

CMAUDPRM - prep

 

 

Also the final scene of Three Tall Women when the rear wall of the set goes up and reveals a mirror, which then tilts slowly and reflects the bedroom.  The effect was stunning.

The production was stellar.  Many many breathtaking moments.  Also pretty much launched Gary Sinise into stardom.  The scene near the end where they place the dead child in the river was galvanic.  Here's a clip from the 1990 TONY's:

I saw the Trevor Nunn directed production Fiddler on the Roof at The Menier Chocolate Factory, and am quite sure this will redefine BOMC.  Stand by for West End and Broadway transfers.
