Broadway Box discount at the box office? This will be show no. 9 in my 8 night stay so I need to save money where I can. If you have some time this afternoon, head to the TKTS booth at South Street Seaport. They sell tickets for next day matinees. Usually not much of a line to speak of.

Thanks for the info and for uploading it on the first place.

It's an odd arrangement. I'm not sure where it comes from, but it should be in the mix. I know her Rose was met with mixed reactions, but I actually appreciated much of her performance.

I saw the third preview of Into the Woods (whatever happened to that show?) I saw the first Saturday matinee preview of Carrie First preview of the Tyne Daly Gypsy The final dress rehearsal of the benefit concert of Company at Lincoln Center with the original cast Chess in concert at Carnegie Hall (original cast) Elaine Paige's first night in Sunset Boulevard (ended up with a cancelation ticket in a great seat sitting next to her sister or maybe it was her cousin)

They're Playing Our Song?

I saw her go on as Cinderella. She was, of course, sublime. I had seen her in Big River on my first trip to New York. It would have been a hoot to see her as Little Red!

If Oklahoma! happens: Reba as Aunt Eller!

I did on standing room July 31st. The tickets went on sale when the box office opened. On matinee days they sell both performances in the morning. $27, I think. I got there around 6am and was third in line. I could have slept in a bit more. By 9am the line was pretty long. First gal got there at 5am. I forget exactly how many spots are available, but 12 rings a bell. The standing room spots are behind the side sections. There were four of us standing on the house left side next to the sound b...

It also ALWAYS rains at funerals, Best12.

It's not a lyric, but in West Side Story when Anita asks Maria, "Shall I tell him to hold it for you til you come?" Especially if you have an Anita savoring her accent as much as mine was.

At Billy Elliot we got a new Billy for the second act. In Act I he was played by an Australian actor, in Act II by an Asian actor. The actor playing the MC of the Christmas show at the top of Act II walked the new Billy out and introduced him in character. Charming. This past summer, at Ghost, I saw Oda Mae replaced at intermission. Da'Vine Joy Randolph was giving it everything she had during Act I, but you could tell her voice wasn't all there. I wish I knew which one of her unterstudies wen...

I got in line at 5:20 this morning. I'm third in line. The next person showed around 6:00. Right now (7:30ish) I would say that there are around 15 on the line.
