Can’t really say for a Friday but I rushed on a Wednesday 11/12 and I was 1st in line at 630am. Next in line was 7am.

Saw the show twice this week. Always loved the music but had never seen a production besides what is out on YouTube. I thought the level of talent in everyone on stage was incredible. Sadly not a fan of most of the accents, but the vocal talent wins this production for me- so much that I rushed yesterday to see it again. I didn’t mind the political jokes although I don’t think they are necessary. The ending is the the weakest element of the show. The main cast was definitely laying everything...

It is intriguing that San Francisco can only sustain one subscription season, where Los Angles can do two, I know Los Angles is bigger than San Francisco but I always thought the latter to be more artsy. Anyway I wonder what shows Los Angeles will announce and what will end up in the Pantanges and will go to Ahmanson?I see there is a gap in the Hamilton tour between San Francisco and Seattle, so wonder if is going back to Los Angeles for a month? Makes sense!"Hamilton has already been announc...

Saw this tonight at The Pantages in LA. What an amazing show. I had actually never seen this on stage, but I’ve been down plenty of video rabbit holes over the years. This cast was amazing- Nick Cartell had the audience so captivated as he sang Bring Him Home. I won the lottery for this show and the seats were pretty good, $35 for any Orchestra seat at The Pantages is an amazing deal.

I had an amazing time last night. My only complaint is that it went by so fast and a man behind me decided to FaceTime someone during a quiet transition. The call was quickly cut off by all the people whipping their heads around. I am not well versed in all Sondheim shows so hearing music from these shows was a great gateway to discover new things. All in all a wonderful evening at The Bowl.

He came and performed at my Junior High School in the late 80s. I was lucky enough to get to go up the stage and dance with him. Being on the student council had its perks.

This seems pretty underwhelming for me. I love the Ahmanson due to the easy parking and the fact that they always have amazing deals and lottery options that The Pantages just doesn’t offer. I saw A Strange Loop and Funny Girl in NY and Hadestown in NY and the tour in LA.

I’ve worked in tv/film for over 20 years dealing with famous people. I typically tune them out, but I have used them for my theater loving heart. When a Tony winner asked what I wanted as a wrap gift I definitely said tickets to a Broadway show. This gift jump started my multiple visits to NY to see more shows. LA is great for touring shows but nothing beats the intimacy of a NY theater.

There are some responses that don’t appear even when you click on the last message. It seems as if that message should start a new page, but instead you have to wait for yet another person to comment before seeing the previous one. Not sure that makes sense but that is somewhat slightly annoying.
