Quote: “This production is expected to sell out.Theonly wayto guarantee your seat is to become an MYCsubscriber or patron.”That’s verydifferent. “Expected to sell out.” Of course it will sell out, but not necessarily exclusively to subscribers.Guarantee your seats by becoming a member. Yes, but trying to ramp up member support does notnecessarily mean it...

I don't need alerts for any threads. It's annoying and unnecessary."Thanks for this. I didn't realize there was a "watched" tag, but I found it at the beginning of the thread and immediately unchecked it. Even though the "keep watching" box under the reply box is unchecked. I agree it's annoying.

And... it looks like we now have separate button...

My screen also went to dark mode, which I hate. I'm on boring old Chrome, whatever the latest update is. Saying "no" to dark mode in settings doesn't work. Help.And, Happy Thanksgiving.

Some of this is hilarious and sarcastic. Overall, it's really depressing. https://www.nytimes.com/2025/11/07/us/politics/the-kennedy-center-crackup.html?unlocked_article_code=1.zU8.vB_v.gi8JT3I0ur2c&smid=url-share

The thumbs up button and the spoiler bars are still not working. I tried using the website on my phone and they're not working there either, so I don't think it's my computer or browser (latest Chrome version if it matters).

Thumbs up button still not working for me. Nor is the "open spoiler" button. I updated Chrome this morning to the latest version. Don't know what else to do.Thanks

1991 in Amsterdam, my brother and I saw Sweet Charity. I didn't know the show that well, but it didn't matter - it was still wonderful. We were wondering how Hey Big Spender would sound in Dutch. We needn't have wondered - it was the only line not translated. So if you're interested, it seems Hey Big Spender is the same in English and Dutch. ;-)

First Broadway show - Chicago with Gwen and Chita. The next day I saw The Wiz and A Chorus Line.First live show (that I remember, anyway) was Snow White at Shady Grove Music Fair when it was still a tent, sometime in the mid-60s when I was in elementary school.

I thought it was a fantastic exhibit and I wish it was still going to be on view when I'm next in the city in November. One of the many fine exhibits there that made me join even though I don't live in NY. The Dining in Transit exhibit was also interesting and fun.

Lot666 said: "I can't even find a list of shows for which I've earned points; all I get is a total."If you click on the down arrow to the right of your points total and then click on My Account, there should be a list of some sort. You can filter it for time period, but even if I choose All Time, it only goes back through this year. I just transferred most of my points to Amtrak (a partnership they discontinued last week - of course) because at least I'll be able to use them easily for someth...

George in DC said: "I would love to see the tour, but as long as the rapist felon is head of Kennedy Center, I will not be a patron to them any longer"I had no intention of seeing this to begin with, but now I'm considering it. It's exactly the type of show he'd hate, and it will help support my family and friends who work there. And since it was booked before he crashed the joint... maybe.
