They shamed him, took all credit for his work, then asked him for money.I still hope they get it though.

He's a Lord, not a Sir. Or a Baron. Sir is lowly, he was in the House of Lords. As a conservative, who don’t respond favorably to pleas like this.

The few (literally four) €79 dollar seats left for the date that I'm l'm looking at, six months from now, suck.

That wouldn't change $269 being quite a lot for an Off-Broadway experimental theatre club, or anywhere else.

$269 is quite a lot for an experimental theatre club.

This gives me the perfect chance to shame all you multiple trans-atlantic trippers, but I...

And GOOD FOR THEM for it too. The fact that the league didn’t take the hazards to actors seriously in that moment is a really egregious recent example of negligence."The world didn’t stop because of the wildfires. I had to go to work like everybody else, but Broadway act...

Or just settle for the usual Disney fare.Is the OP's question for the benefit of the kids or for themselves? Just suck it up like a good uncle/aunt!

Right, but I don't get how that is justified or why we put up with it.For the record, this is not my norm, it's the most I've ever spent on a theatre ticket. I figured I'm not gonna settle for steerage for this one. I am a premium person, I deserve premium seating.

I bought one ticket today, in MY favorite area, Row E center orchestra.$476$425 ticket price + $51 service fee.The difference in ticket price can be explained by proximity to the stage, but how did I get three times more "service" than you, Steve? Did I get a complimentary flute of champagne or something?

Little Shop of Horrors?I know it's gruesome, but I've seen children at it!

Kad said: "I think we will see more "limited runs" in the vein of Operation Mincemeat: effectively open-ended productions scheduled for an initial run that then release further blocks of tickets as "extensions."" "Now on its record-breaking 17th extension”!Pretty disingenuous marketing from that show, it bugs me.

$51 service fee?Outrageous.$425 ticket, but how exactly does this inflate the charge of whatever service it is they provide.

Liza in Chicago.

Words often lose meaning through usage totally unconnected to original usage."Sure, but in this case - it just doesn't actively fit what the topic at hand is?

Rule no. 1. Cast a phantom who can sing.

Musigamist, are you sure Silence of the Lambs is a musical?
