I laughed and genuinely appreciate the added clarification in the subject line!


Anyone starting to prefer bootlegs over cast recordings?

Charley Kringas Inc said: "The ur-example is the Hello Dolly revival, which sounds like a sickly child on the cast recording, but it's hard for me to think of a recent case where I preferred the cast album over a good bootleg. I want that bigness."

Dolly was my immediate thought when I first saw the post. That cast recording was so muted and sad compared to the joy in the live version. I don’t know what they were thinking. I will only listen to Bootlegs of


Liza memoir and promotion tour

Transport Group just announced their big concert this year is going to be a tribute to Liza - Liza! at 80.  I loved the Follies and Dolly productions over the last 2 years, so I'll definitely be trying for tickets for this one.

Interestingly, the website says that everyone will receive an autographed copy of the book, which I'm sure will bump the prices up even more.

Don’t they usually confirm with the nominees that they will accept before making the announcement? I’m sure the orange one with tiny hands wouldn’t risk having someone turn him down publicly.


Stage adaptation of Jerry Herman’s MRS. SANTA CLAUS to premiere at Goodspeed in 2025!

So disappointed to hear that this run was cancelled. I’ve really been looking forward to it. I’m really not a fan of Christmas in general, but I adore this movie and will watch it and listen to the cast recording year round.

I hope at some point we do get to see a stage adaptation.

I’ll do the job for free theatre tickets and train tickets to and from Philly.

I have strong opinions about shows that people often disagree with and zero social media presence. I’m perfect for the job!

So disappointed. It’s basically Simard standing behind a mic stand and wearing a floor length halter-top gown. Zero “performance.” Based on what a few said, I thought she was in costume and giving a Val character performance. Nope. Just her standing behind the mic stand and just singing the song.

Her performance was hilarious.  She may have just stood behind the mic, but it was definitely not “just singing the song.”

No. The orchestra was on stage in the same spots as HK. I'm guessing Hell's Kitchen is using the pit for something else?

My physical ticket for the balcony, and my friends’ in the mezz all said comp as well.

Minor thing to note, the Playbill is the nicest Playbill I have ever received at any event, be it show, benefit, or opening night. The paper is so nice!

Fighting with the ticketing system for an hour was absolutely worth it. It was an amazing evening; everything I wanted it to be. I think it was a perfect tribute for the 50th anniversary.

It was wonderful to see the original cast - and getting to see Donna McKechnie and Priscilla Lopez sing their songs was a treat I was not expecting! There was an audible gasp in the balcony when Kelly Bishop put her hand on her hip and took the Sheila pose before performing her monologue.

Has this been canceled? I’ll be very disappointed if that is the case. I love the film and I have tickets for Dec. I was so looking forward to seeing this live for the holidays.
"

So weird. I’ve been looking at tickets weekly trying to figure out what days I can get up there and making sure there are still tickets available. They were still selling this past week. Hopefully just a glitch.

edit - nevermind lol they’re pretty much all gone.

They must have fixed the tech issues (or people gave up) because everything is moving quickly now.  Balcony went from pretty much all available to sold out in the last 15 minutes and only a handful mezz seats left.

Finally!  Was able to get a seat on my 7th or 8th 'add to cart' and second new account.  Glad to finally be done with this.

There seemed to be plenty of balcony seats available - a lot of the same seats popping back up so most people must be having the same issues with adding a ticket to their cart and then getting an error message.

Anyone else constantly singing "orchestra or balcony" to themselves the whole time?

Third time adding a ticket to my cart and it's spinning and then said to try again because it resets after a period of inactivity.  That was rude.  That was pretty f*cking rude.

edit: I'm getting so annoyed now.  I got in again (5th time), added the ticket to cart.  But when I logged in it said I had too many attempts - you think! - so I created a new account.  Got to the next page, and then it crashed again.  I've got it open on 4 dev

I got back into the seat selection page but it took forever to change the section, and then when I was finally able to select a seat I got a sever error again.  So not holding out much hope.  There are definitely fewer seats available then when I got in the first time, so some people do seem to be able to get through (or those are the ones getting through on the phones).

I had a ticket in my cart for front row center balcony, but when I went to log in it crashed for me as well.  I called and left a message, but I'm sure the seat I selected will be gone by the time the website is back up or I get a call back.  Just hope I'm able to get something.
