I’ve heard some not-so-bad things about the discounted limited view seats at Stereophonic, specifically those on the aisles around rows J-L. Anyone have experience with those? I don’t mind missing an inconsequential thing or two if I’m saving $50.

What do we think are the odds I'll be able to see Stereophonic when I'm in the city next March

Is there any reason sitting toward the edge of row D in the orchestra at the Jacobs would be an issue for Parade? I know it's technically "partially obstructed view" or whatever, but the folks who sat there for Company didn't seem to have a problem. Wondering if this show is any different?

I could be asking a question that's already been answered, but is the orchestration different than London? "Bad Cinerella" sounded the same in both the CHF and new recordings, but "I Know I Have a Heart" was much different in the new version.

Was just perusing ticket sites in prep for a May NYC trip, and I noticed that tickets to DEH when I'll be in town are extraordinarily cheap. You can sit virtually anywhere in the Music Box outside of premium for just over $100, even the front row. Not even Phantom is that cheap.What's up with that?

That was my thought

Title speaks for itself.

Thanks for the intel! Interesting that some folks online seemed to have a problem with the railing.

Is front row MEZZ of the Nederlander a bad idea because of the railing? I've seen differing opinions/pictures online and want to ask the real experts on this forum haha.If not, any recommendations for where NOT to sit in the ORCH?

Really wanting to take an NYC trip during May 2022 to catch Encores!' production of Into the Woods, as I'm a major Sondheim nerd and the prospect of hearing that score with their famously giant orchestra is overwhelmingly exciting. How difficult is it to get tickets to Encores! shows, and when should I start paying attention for an on-sale date? Any tips would be appreciated!

Curious as to why Sondheim’s books (Finishing/Look I Made) are so expensive? I’m seeing copies going for hundreds on the internet even though they don’t appear to be rarities and are less than 10 years old.

Seat location may be a factor as well."I’ve seen DEH twice, both on the tour, and I sat very close too the stage both times (need to see those Evan tears up close and personal).Wicked I’ve seen several times, but the two most recent were front row (tour) and middle of orchestra right (Gershwin). Both times I thought it was quiet.

I should start by noting that I have very slightly below average hearing (nothing that requires medical attention, assistance devices, or anywhere near that level).I have seen several shows, on tour and in NYC, that made me want to reach for the volume switch the entire show. I've wondered before if it had to do with the venue, the particular show, or both. Other times, the volume is perfect, so I don't think the answer is "I'm hard of hearing."I've had this problem with various pit makeups (...

It’s very entertaining. Have loved seeing Patti, Idina Menzel, and Ben Platt. Alan Menken’s piano medley was great.

Phantom4ever said: "ALW using a word like “refresh” fills me with dread. When I read the first post in this thread, my stomach dropped. Phantom’s original staging is so emotionally connected to me that words could never explain it. If they do anything to update it in the name of trendiness I don’t know what I’ll do.CatsNY, what changes have you seen since Hal died? When I saw it in February, the only difference I saw was the new approach to Christine which I actually enjoyed. I’m mostly afrai...

In a NY Post article, ALW said the following about Phantom’s life on Broadway after the shutdown is over: “There are huge plans to remarket and refresh it.”What does everyone think “remarket and refresh” means? For the sake of all that is good in the world, I hope this doesnt mean replacing Hal Prince’s staging with Cameron Mackintoshs awful new production that recently toured the U.S.I saw PTO two days before the shutdown, and the show is in really good shape. The company knows exactly what ...
