from The Guardian‘Being American feels helpless and scary’: actor Ben Platt on nerves, queer songs and why he couldn’t do it without his husbandThe star of Dear Evan Hansen plays a 1960s Greenwich Village crooner in hit queer musical Midnight at the Never Get. It’s the perfect outlet for his anxiety, he says

Twice booked for late February. Prices pretty reasonable, especially by Broadway standards. Past experiences here in the Royal Circle have all been good so opted to book one performance there and then give the front row of the Grand Circle a try since it was £35 less.

Theater, sporting events, concerts, those are luxury, big ticket items. Sometimes you can afford them, sometimes you can't. And you find other things to be passionate about, while maybe saving for a big trip to see theater in the future."Well duh. I was offering a point of reference, not complaining, so your resp...

I just browsed through my 20+ years of Telecharge orders. It was only 10 or 15 years ago when advance discount codes were readily available for so many shows, dynamic pricing had yet to become so commonplace, and premium was usually one subset of center orchestra. You could get great seats for a significant number of shows with starry casts for $100-$150 without much effort. Some random excerpts: $125: Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf (2020)Center Orchestra Row D$139: The Ferryman (2019)Center ...

Great cast and it has been 10 years since the Ivo revival that was such a strong production (and available on NT at Home for those who might be interested).

People choose to work with whomever they want. Audiences get to choose who they wish to see and support.Unless, I am missing something no universal tribunal exists to stop either of those from occurring.

Maybe percentage-based fees, instead of flat charges, could be the next ticketing-related issues that legislators could be lobbied to examine. Until then, premium people seeking premium seats will often face premium fees.

I bought tickets for two different performances today in my favorite seat, G108 Dress Circle.Both were: $166.88$149.00 ticket price + $17.88 service fee

Lot666 said: "This thread is a perfect example of just how insufferable this board can be, and too often is, these days."And it is a choice being made, by some people consistently, to respond in a very aggressive and off-putting manner instead of extending a bit of grace, the benefit of the doubt, and using less offensive tone or language.

We're a very small sample of essentially anonymous names lacking any of the usual demographic information upon which decisions might commonly be made.

And zero question that men and women of all races have made people cry in a variety of organizations and been called out for it.

Someone on the UK board is saying it will be the original Broadway cast during the first two weeks of Cole's run and that it will be filmed on a few days not for sale to the public. Take it all with the usual grain of salt.https://theatreboard.co.uk/post/672839/thread

I hope the Board members are doing some self-assessment on how they contributed to a storied DC institution ending up in this very undesirable position. One of the most important responsibilities they have is the selection and oversight of the CEO.

Why?Acclaimed actor. Innovative, albeit somewhat controversially so, director.A play done regularly in the UK.

Judy Tenuta. Wow. That's someone I haven't thought of since my days on my university's campus programming board.

The run sold out after the public sale today, but the Almeida is good about getting returns online quickly. After 90 minutes in the queue I snagged one of the last remaining seats, albeit a partial view.
