Regarding in-person rush for OH, MARY, does anyone know whether you can purchase up to two rush seats? Or are you limited to one? Assuming availability, of course. Really need to know. Thanks!

I don’t know whether this has been asked before, but if you have bought the inexpensive tickets offered to the first 19 people on line at the box office each day, approximately when should one arrive to be successful? Thanks!

I love the idea of Jackman and Reynolds costarring in a new theatre project designed to play to their strengths and great chemistry together, although I do wonder whether Reynolds has the necessary stage chops. Has he ever stepped onto the legitimate stage? But with his good friend Jackman—a stage animal from way back—as mentor, the odds of success might be pretty good.

I know “I Can Get It for You Wholesale” is Off Broadway, but does anyone know of any discounts/codes for that show? Thanks.

Does anyone know if the theater is selling in-person rush seats? (Aside from Today Tix lottery)

The scholarly author of a new biography of Meredith Willson calls the current revival of THE MUSIC MAN “flawless” and “pure joy,” in line with what seems to be the prevailing opinion of audiences at the Winter Garden.https://www.talkinbroadway.com/page/rialto/past/2022/musicman.html

Now that Lea Michele has assumed the title role, are rush tickets still available at the box office for every performance?

Exactly. I really hope they can fit in all that wonderful dance music. It was such a big part of the show and what set it apart from other productions.

No, MUSIC MAN does not have a lottery. The show offers Rush and Standing Room. Lotteries I’ve won: THE BEDWETTER, MR. SATURDAY NIGHT and FUNNY GIRL.

Michael Riedel, here’s your next book.

On a Facebook post, Peter Filichia wrote that the MUSIC MAN cast is heading to the studio on June 19 to record the cast album. I hope it includes all that wonderful dance music.

Thank you, everyone. I watch the Tonys every year so I don’t know how I missed taking note of that pronunciation, but your info is much appreciated.

Location was Center Orchestra 111 and 112. Perfect!" Whoops, just realized I forgot to indicate the row. My lottery seats were center Orchestra Row H, seats 111 and 112.

I agree with Rosanna Scotto—https://www.fox5ny.com/video/1033858-and The Guardian, The Wrap, Associated Press and especially Marilyn Stasio’s Variety review. THOSE were spot-on, not what reads like the result of an undigested sourball. https://variety.com/2022/legit/reviews/music-man-review-hugh-jackman-broadway-1235177555/amp/

Those who criticize Hugh and Sutton for supposedly “breaking” a la GOLDEN RAINBOW during the delightful “Marian the Librarian” number have it dead wrong. Marian has reached her breaking point of iexasperation with Hill’s shenanigans, so she forcefully shoves his hat onto him in a “get out now” gesture. Jackman’s facial expression at that moment registers surprise and a bit of delight at how much spunk this librarian has. This piece of business is perfectly in character and puts a button on a ...

I’ve inquired at the box office from time to time, and the answer is always “no” to standing room.

One unexpected “performance” that ran through much of yesterday’s COMPANY matinee was what I would call “the ushers’ march.” Every several minutes during the show, ushers would walk down the aisles of the orchestra, proceed to the front, and then walk back up again to the rear of the orchestra, all the while peering around at the audience. From my aisle seat, I found it annoying and disruptive. I assume they were looking for people using their phones or video cameras, but still…I’ve never see...

Thanks, all.

My bus departs promptly at 10 pm, with the next and last one for the night at midnight. So it appears that attending a 7 pm show would be problematic. Better to go to an 8 pm show and wait one hour than miss the bus by a couple of minutes and wait two hours. Thanks, all.

I thought hubby and I might as well try to catch the show before its hiatus, so I did the digital rush today. To my surprise I received center orchestra row H 115 and 116. Plus I was even able to use the $22-off code. The Sondheim was maybe half filled. No wonder we received such a good location.Too bad the show itself was not as good as our seats. It had a few bright spots, but it was mostly meh. We were disappointed to learn that Rob McClure, whom I was looking forward to seeing in the titu...
