I am curious about other people's experiences buying opening night tickets without connections in the industry, specifically from Roundabout Theater Company or other Broadway non-profits. The fact opening night tickets are very exclusive is not lost on me, there is no guarantee the theater has to sell these tickets to the general public, but I do have to ask For context, I happened to have slot in my trip open for what is the opening night of Rocky Horror. As a huge Rocky Horror fan, I felt l...

TarHeelAlan said: "For those who have won the lottery for this show, where were your seats? Are they primarily balcony or other locations that are considered Partial View?"I won the lotto late last month and was in the Orchestra. Left side, Row K, Seat 23 and was labeled as Partial View

DramaTeach said: "My friend and I decided that the title of the show isn’t doing it any favors, and neither is the explanation of what it’s about."As someone who adored MHE when I saw it, I do agree the title isn't great. Then again, it is much less generic than the working English title in 2017, "What I Learned From People" (if Wikipedia is to be believed) and the 2023 Korean film adaptation title, "My Favorite Love Story". I did consistently call the show "Maybe Happy Endings" before seeing...

So I'm *guessing* I'm not going to be bored?!"I would definitely put myself in the camp of those who didn't feel this justified being three hours, but I am willing to admit to this being more on my circumstances rather than the play itself. I got up far too early to rush ...

I did a three show day yesterday of Stereophonic, Titanique, and this, and Three Houses was the highlight of my trip, absolutely adored it. This might be a bit of an out there reference, but I kept thinking about the way the pandemic was handled is in a similar vain as how Bo Burnham handled it in his special, Inside. It is "about" the pandemic, but is far more universal, using that as a catalyst to dissect these characters' vices and over excessive self-isolation.Have to agree with Margo Sei...

OuttaTowner said: "My guess is, if they have the Booth, they may wait until after Akimbo closes this weekend."Unless they close before August, which is when the LuPone/Farrow play The Roommate starts, I really don't see them taking the Booth Besides isn't Oh Mary rumored to squeeze in a transfer right after Kimberly Akimbo? I hope that is still happening

It's not open for much longer, but I just saw Rachel Bloom's new show "Death Let Me Do My Show" last weekend and adored it. Cannot recommend it enough for anyone who misses Crazy Ex Girlfriend. I also saw she had an article in Playbill about it and said she hopes it transfers to Broadway at some point, which I would love

Definitely odd to see Kimberly Akimbo in the graphic but not make the final poll (seemingly subbed out for Harmony)

I have no clue who that could be, though."Janelle Monae?"Monáe is from Kansas City and their record studio is based in Atlanta, so as much as I am manifesting Monáe's stage debut, this doesn't seem it

bigbelterbaby said: "You forgot Roundabouts revival of “Home” by Samm Art-Williams, first on Broadway in 1979. Tony nominated for Best Play."jkcohen626 noticed this in the "2023-2024 Broadway Season" thread, but since Roundabout announced Home to start performances in May, it would then be a part of the 2024/25 season

MidWestTheater said: "They actually have set up a pinball arcade in the lobby that you can play, with apparently a custom pinball machine for this production."https://twitter.com/Cassie_Temple/status/1668997036098584584?t=k88vCd6NPFfJIxdaUPIcyA&s=19Such a cute idea, love that!Also can anyone snag a pic of the merch if they get a chance? Even if it's the standard key art (which looks really cool imo), I would love to know

I got a tix for the June 3rd evening showing. Got to the box office around 10:50am. My seat was Orch 106 AA, dead middle (which technically was full view. The person at the box office mentioned it I got a pair, my seats would have been obstructed, I'm assuming side Orch)Outside of not being able to see into the doorway leading to outside and what's on the floor exactly, my view was very clear. I didn't feel like I missed anything reallyI'll be honest, I mostly rushed this show to finally read...

I think one of the more recent websites that keep up to date with rush is https://bwayrush.com/. I haven't used it yet, but will the next time I rush this summer, a lot of great info there.The boards can also be used to find threads from people who have rushed already, where seats tend to be located, what time to show up at the box office, etc. The search function tends to be fine if you look up "[show] rush" and if one thread been dormant for awhile, you can bump it

Phillyguy said: "perfectpenguin said: "Did Philly announce today? Or am I just not seeing it?"Nope. Nothing yet. Website still says 3/20."Can you point out where on the website it says that? The Kimmel Center doesn't really lay out this information that clearly

Danny DeVito had a reading of a new play last summer that he said should be coming to New York sometime this year
