Do you mean Howard? I'm not sure what's objectionable about Parr's song...

Update: I ended up getting tickets to Operation Mincemeat! I'm a little worried about how I'll feel the next day with so little sleep but I think it'll be worth it to see something brand new that feels uniquely British. I can't wait :)

I do like ABBA and the show does sound cool - I think if I were in London for longer I would definitely consider it, but as is, I think I'll stick to one of these three. Still haven't decided which one, although I think I might be leaning towards Operation Mincemeat now. Who knows if that'll change tomorrow though...

altonido - I'll be there in late October so unfortunately that's not an option (neither is Next to Normal for that matter). And I definitely agree that Cabaret might be worth seeing even though it is transferring - I don't go to New York that often and when I do I almost never get to see the hot ticket options, so this might be my only chance.Thank you everyone for your help but I'm definitely still conflicted! Although now I'm maybe leaning slightly towards Cabaret - it also starts at 7:30 t...

I'm really torn between these three. Guys and Dolls is the only one out of the three that has a matinee the day I'll be there which would probably be best for me schedule-wise since I have to leave at 5 the next morning to catch a flight. Everything about the production sounds amazing but I just really don't care much for the show itself. On the other hand, Cabaret is one of my all-time favorites but I've also seen it many times. Jake Shears will be in it when I go and I used to LOVE the Scis...

Ceej - I just sat front row when I won the lottery and you do have to look up the whole time (I'm 5'7 but it seemed like other people taller than me were also looking up), but you don't miss anything. If I could choose a seat I would probably go a few rows back, but it's an intimate story that does benefit from being up close.

Yep, it's still playing and I've never seen it, so I'm super stoked to finally get the chance to.Update on my end: I got Shucked on Broadway Roulette for tonight and won the lottery for Kimberly Akimbo for tomorrow! Feeling like maybe I should also buy some scratch tickets with all the luck I've been having 😊

I'm in a similar boat to some of the above posters - I'm going to be in New York this Friday through Monday and I haven't been since 2019, so I'd really like to load up on shows. On Friday I have a Broadway Roulette ticket, Saturday matinee I'm going to Leopoldstadt (my Broadway Roulette is musicals only, so I won't get that) and on Sunday night I'm going to Sleep No More. I'm going to wait until I find out what my Broadway Roulette show is to get tickets for Saturday night, but my best case ...

Wow, I would have thought it would be open forever

The Band's Visit has listed their March/early April performances as "postponed" and Broadway in Boston released a statement that anyone with tickets should hold on to them for now. I wonder if they're planning on coming back to the cities they missed at the end of their current run in the fall?

First Date wasn't on the poll but that was, no exaggeration, the worst musical I've ever seen.

Okay, I know this off-topic now but when I reply to this thread on my browser (Chrome), there's no + sign or smiley face anywhere... Also, for folks who've seen it in the last few nights, what was the gist of Fedallah's monologue? I'm still trying to figure out if it's improvised and/or if it changes every night.

I'm feeling kind of dim right now because I really can't figure out how to put in a spoiler box. I've mostly posted on this board like 10 years ago and I don't think that was an option then. I'll just put it below after the dots . . . . . . . . You d...

Just saw it last night. Not totally sure I've processed everything about it, but here are some thoughts. A note that I've never read the novel and honestly seeing this didn't really give me a huge desire to do so. Some spoilers ahead. -It's LONG. The second half (parts 3 and 4) especially. I appreciated the bathroom break after the first part and the second part is mostly funny and cute "Vaudeville" stuff so that part seems to go by fast too but man, I came back from intermission ready for it...

Anyone seen the tour lately? I won the lottery in Boston but when I click on the link to buy tickets it looks like virtually the entire theater is unsold...

bdboston said: "Thanks for your commentary, yellibean. I've been anxious to hear from folks who've seen the show more than once (I don't see it until next month). Did you feel, by comparing the two performances you saw, that they are actually using this preview/pre-B'way period to make significant changes or re-work some things (more than you mentioned)? Has the running timebeen trimmed at all? Looking forward to this!" No, besides Roxanne I didn't notice any changes. The running time is stil...

Went last night again and overall I think I enjoyed it even more! I loved being closer and getting to see everyone's facial expressions. Definitely agree about the lack of leg room - I'm 5'7 and my knees were pretty much lodged into the seat in front of me for the whole show. While it's not a small theater by any means, the orchestra still feels intimate. I saw Sonya Tayeh in the audience. I didn't get to talk to her, but I do think she should be very proud and probably(/hopefully) has a Tony...

Can anyone confirm?" As of Sunday, it was still Your Song.

I ended up in Row J of the Dress Circle, all the way to the right. There was hardly anyone else sitting in my row though so I moved closer to the center where I had a full view of the stage, but it did still feel pretty far from the action. I was hoping based on previous lottery experiences that I'd get a seat in the orchestra, but now I'm more excited to see it this Wednesday in the Orchestra seat I had previously bought. Overall my feelings are pretty in line with what others have said. It'...

Same question as millie_dillmount! Excited to see this a little earlier than expected.
