They're bigger, they're splashier, they're glitzier, they mean more. The Tonys are like going into Nieman Marcus and buying a gorgeous high end designerbag.The Oliviers are like going to Hong Kong and finding a cheap knockoff of a similar looking bag. They may look alike from a distance but one is going to last you a long time and get admiring glances, the other...

The reliance on Playbill in some regional markets has always been a little funny to me."That's what Broadway in Detroit does

Jumping on to say I'm also going to London next week. Seeing Two Strangers, Guys and Dolls, Fawlty Towers, N2N, Starlight, Mincemeat, and Les Mis. Really looking forward to it. First trip across the pond since covid!

hearthemsing22 said: "Gotta say, that performance did not inspire me to want to buy a ticket for Cabaret."Same, I've been on the fence about seeing it in London in a couple weeks, and this was the final nail in the coffin

And we're off. Good luck to everyone trying for tickets!

Shows I hated: Patriots, Doubtfire (tour), The Bodyguard (tour), Lightning Thief (tour). Granted Doubtfire was on tour so it may have been better in NY, but I saw nothing there worth seeing.

Hijacking this thread a bit. I will also be in London the week of July 4th. I've already booked the below shows and have one slot left. I was originally planning on Cabaret, but the NY reviews tempered that a bit. Thinking Kiss Me Kate w/ SJB, but open to suggestions. Thanks!2 StrangersFawlty Towers (love the TV show)Starlight ExpressOperation MincemeatNext to NormalLes Mis

Clearly the nominators sat in the orchestra."Maybe that also explains Sweeney Todd's win for sound design last year. I sat front row Mezz and it was truly the worst sound design I have ever heard at a Broadway show."Nah, I sat center orch and it was still bad

*looks at picture of GW* Thank you mother!

The theatre staff may not have megaphones, but when I saw Tommy the staff outside did have a headset microphone with a speaker. I do have to say they were very pleasant though. No shouting, just directing the line which has to be stopped to not block the hotel entrance

Hi All, I'm buying tickets for an upcoming trip to London and am attempting to buy table tickets for Cabaret. Is there a way to purchase a single ticket? I'm going by myself so I'd rather not have to buy two tickets. Or if someone can recommend the best place to sit I'd appreciate it. Thanks!

There were so many lines that seemed like they were supposed to get a laugh that maybe a couple people lightly chuckled at.Second act was better at least though Putin’s change from wanting liberalization to becoming a power-hungry murderous dictator is so sudden without any real explanation. I guess if that’s how it ...

jpiedrafite said: "Just got tickets to the 5pm show on 5/11. Is it possible to see a matinee before? Thinking either Illinoise (cause it's shorter) or The Outsiders."I saw the Teeth matinee before heading to Oh, Mary. Teeth started around 2:35 and I was on the street around 4:30. I made it with plenty of time to spare.

Saw three shows today. Teeth and Oh, Mary did not collect. Days of Wine and Roses had playbills for 40 and window cards for 75.

Can't wait to hear reports from tonight. I'm seeing it in April. Especially curious about if the production uses the entire Overture and Underture. A number of recent revivals have either cut theirs completely or trimmed them down.
