All performances for the final tour stop in DC listed on the Kennedy Center website are showing as “Currently Not Available” — I wonder if it’s being dropped or if the production is pulling out.https://www.kennedy-center.org/whats-on/explore-by-genre/theater/2024-2025/parade/Edit: they’ve added a note saying that tickets would be “back on sale within a few days.” Hmm.

Question for anyone who’s been to Gypsy so far. I’m guessing not based on the details provided above — but have the actual seats been upgraded? (As in, are they still TypicalBroadwaySeats™️ for extremely tiny people … or did they think about actual-sized humans?)tnx!

Can anyone who’s been let me know what the actual first row of the center orchestra is? It’s showing as B on Telecharge, but there are never seats showing up there for any performance. I’m wondering if C is the actual front row due to the built out proscenium. Thanks!

Jordan Catalano said: "$100 for last row of the balcony and the front half of the orchestra is $350 - $450. Insane."If you can even find any front orchestra. There seems to be almost nothing for the entire run. Do they not release everything during a presale?

Don’t know much about it beyond this Kennedy Center announcement, but there’s a new tour starting next year being directed by Jack O’Brien. https://www.kennedy-center.org/whats-on/explore-by-genre/theater/2024-2025/the-sound-of-music/

Hopefully they'll cast an actual child in the child role.

It always amazes me the lengths that trailers for musicals will go to in order to hide the fact that it’s a musical. You saw ONE fragment of singing. That said, looks wonderful — cannot wait!!!

I was in the 3rd row of the orchestra, so I can’t speak to any audio issues that might be evident elsewhere — as it sounded absolutely pristine to me. Definitely no microphone issues I could hear. Every single thing about this revival was a complete home run for me. I seriously cannot agree with any of the recurring criticisms in the preceding pages. And it certainly didn’t sound like the audience shared those criticisms either, as this was probably the most roaringly enthusiastic audiences I...

Once again - I continue to utterly baffled by this message board and the awful responses about (well, almost everything) this show. It’s intermission now (Sat 2pm performance) and THIS SHOW IS F**KING ASTOUNDINGLY PERFECT. I am in complete awe.

Does anyone know if Orch row A & B are actually going to be used for Sweeney Todd? I only ask because I've looked through multiple dates (even when first went on sale) -- and C is the first that EVER had any seats for sale. Could A&B be removed for a possible larger orchestra pit -- or perhaps they're just being held for lottery or something?

Here tonight! Dunno what the use will be, if anything, but there’s a multi-camera crew here set up to film.

Orch A & B are oddly placed on the TM seat map — do we think that there going to be removed for the pit… & perhaps C is going to wind up being the front row? Ok - A & B look normal now on the map. I guess they’re going to be there. I was excited that I might have unknowingly scored first row.

They B-Roll the entire show, with fully composed, multi-angle shots of seemingly every scene? Hmmm.

Is it me -- or does all the footage (seen in the new trailer and the recent "In The Wings" episode) certainly make it seems that they pro-shot the entire show? Something tells me this might wind up on Disney+ or something at some point in the future.

I have to say that I completely don’t understand ANY of the negativity about Beanie. We saw this yesterday and thought she was amazing. Absolutely perfect comic timing and her voice seemed wonderful to us. The 2pm audience certainly seemed to adore her — they were applauding and cheering like crazy after her every solo.

Finally saw this last night. Count me among those who found it excellent. I didn’t find the video distracting in the slightest. I loved it. Yes, a handful of protesters were still there. I don’t know if this been anyone else’s experience, but I actually found them rather rude and aggressive. We had to walk right by them to get into the entrance line, and whenever someone refused to take the flyers they offered, it seemed like they kinda started low-key taunting folks. They were behind us by t...

Couldn't he just be, you know, sick?

This is part of that “semi-staged/concerty” series — but other than having the band visible on stage and a sparse scaffolding set, it's basically fully staged. No notebooks, etc. The second half was astounding. You’re in for a tear-drenched treat!

At intermission of the first performance. This cast is FANTASTIC. This could totally transfer, as-is, for an outstanding revival.
