Profile for Funny Girl

I just checked Ticketmaster this morning and they are still selling tickets past the closing date in June. Is this common?

I attended last night's 8:30 p.m. performance of bare at the Hayworth Theater in Los Angeles. To comment on a few concerns from previous posters: I was in the front row, and experienced none of the sound issues previously reported. We had a group of 13 people, sitting at various places in the theater, and none of them reported any sound issues either. Also, the director has fixed the ending: the drug buying scene is done in spotlight on the right side of the stage, then the drug taking scene ...

I attended The Producers last summer at the Hollywood Bowl starring Richard Kind and Jesse Tyler Ferguson. The production was fully choreographed, and had a set and costumes.

I loath to say there are no "hummable" tunes in the show, but most of the songs have forgettable melodies, lack emotion, and are not even serviceable to the plot. The trifecta of bad songwriting. The two leads Tim Martin Gleason (Sam) and Cha...
