I’m not even an Ariana Grande fan, but this feels like one of those must see events. I went ahead and purchased the Membership Plus after learning my lesson when Merrily We Roll Along was about to go on sale at NYTW. And I figure is going to be cheaper for me to go see it in London than for me to do the same if it ever comes to Broadway.

I’ve had a couple of shows where I ended up not being able to go. One was an off-Broadway show not listed on StubHub or any resellers so that wasn’t an option for me to sell, even though I asked them to add the show. And another was a show I knew I wouldn’t get my money back on because it wasn’t selling well. I liked the idea of my seats not going to waste while the buyer benefits by not overpaying. Both times I sold my ticket within an hour and each person was a pleasure to deal with.

Because there’s always someone, somewhere who could use this info, a Sunday, Dec. 10 performance was just added. I had mentioned previously that I was holding this Sunday spot waiting for them to extend, but they ended up not scheduling a Dec. 10 performance when they extended. But after a little wishful thinking and contacting the box office, they did add one and I will be able to see this before it closes!

I’m having an issue today on iPad using Safari in landscape mode (which is primarily how I use my iPad). I can no longer click on the date in the “Last Post” column in the forums and jump to the last page of posts. It could be because the ads are starting to overlap with that column. When I turn it to portrait mode, it’s not a problem. I can click on the “Last Post” column dates and there are no ads to overlap.

I had been waiting for this to extend since I will be in NYC a few days after the original closing date. Saved a Sunday spot for it and it happens to be one of the only Sundays they won’t have a show. Darn!

A Shed Builder 2 membership or higher is supposed to have a benefits of “All handling fees waived,” so that may be why some people weren’t charged the $5 per ticket fee.

I am Builder 1 and when I went to a browser I was previously already logged into, I got into the queue to the website in a few seconds. But wasn’t sure if it was truly recognizing me because it didn’t sound like I was seeing what other people saw. So I did what another person said, which was to log out and back in. Then I was immediately able to purchase tickets at around 1:55. Good luck, everyone!

That cast is incredible! So somehow I’m now going to see two Second Stage productions during my May trip. If I’d realized they were going to pull this kind of cast together, I would have gone ahead and bought a subscription package.

I only wish I could live in NYC and see the number of shows many of you get to see! For 2022, I was able to see the most shows I’ve seen in a single year, so I’m happy about that. I made two trips to NYC and one trip to London and got to see:Broadway Spring: The Music Man, Plaza Suite, Mr. Saturday Night, Beetlejuice, The BedwetterWest End Summer: & Juliet, Back to the Future, CabaretBroadway just this past week: A Strange Loop, Merrily We Roll Along, Funny Girl, Some Like It HotI don’t know ...

StageDoor3 said: "Was Jonathan Groff in tonight, Friday, Dec 16... and potentially in the show on the weekend? My tickets are for Saturday Dec 17 matinee. Fingers crossed."Yes, he was in on Friday night. The couple in front of me looked at the slip in the program announcing who was on as Frank Jr. and thought it meant Jonathan was out, too.

Oh good! I was in London a couple of months ago and was considering seeing this, but I ended up passing on it to go to other shows and do touristy things. Glad I’ll get to see it here.

I watched the NPR Tiny Desk performance and really enjoyed it, but was a little thrown off by some mixed reviews and reports of sound issues. I might have to go see this instead of KPOP on my December trip since I think that one will still be around until at least next spring.

Really interested in hearing people’s first impressions on this one. I won’t be back in NYC until December, but am keeping a slot open for this one. Tickets aren’t on sale past Nov. 27, but Kate Nash said in a TikTok that it would be running until Jan. 1, so it should extend until then, assuming it does well. They are also offering Thursday matinees, which is great.

I had a lot of points saved up and thought about using them for tickets, but since I’m really picky about where I sit, I didn’t want to chance getting seats that I wasn’t happy with. I decided to just cash most of my points in for gift cards to Sardi’s and Glass House Tavern. At least I can get some nice meals before my upcoming shows. They came in the mail really fast, too.

Completely shocked and saddened by this news. Phantom of the Opera is what made me fall in love with musicals three decades ago when I was just a girl in high school chorus learning to sing the songs. Our chorus sang almost the whole score for our end-of-year concert and I went to see it as soon is it came on tour near my town. After seeing it many times on tour, I decided to finally see it on Broadway last December. It was so beautiful and I’m so happy I got seats right under the chandelier....

Bought my tickets today, but won’t be going until December. Looking forward to reading what everyone has to say until then!

The small print on their membership page does say the following, so hopefully they are making sure that there aren’t more memberships than possible tickets:“Membership tickets are guaranteed through the priority booking period, but are subject to availability once tickets are made available to the general public. We encourage you to take advantage of the priority booking period to choose from the full menu of performance dates and seating options.”

I don’t know if anyone else here is having this problem upgrading their membership… I purchased the cross-season full membership earlier this year, so it’s apparently more complex to upgrade those memberships. They are keeping a list of people in the same boat while they try to figure it out. May just be resigned to waiting until next Wednesday, but I am a little concerned because I will be traveling most of that day and have already booked flights/hotel to NYC for December. Oh well, luckily ...

OuttaTowner said: "I believe it’s only certain tiered members only, no?I received a mail from them yesterday saying that could buy tix (based on my membership) on Aug 24 at noon."Yeah, I think it’s only Premier memberships right now. Unless there was a glitch earlier today, the lower level membership sale starts Aug. 24 at noon. I tried logging in and buying just in case and it stopped me.

Thanks, Taffy! That helps in planning since I’m one of those people who buys tickets for everything way in advance.
