So I'm confused, is there rush or isn't there? Broadway Spotted rush report says 0% chance of tickets. Has anyone tried to rush lately? I'm in town later this week and was hoping to rush Saturday...

The Chicago Tribune at least says it's "no total shipwreck" Overhauled 'Pirate Queen' is still leaking By Chris Jones Tribune theater critic Published April 6, 2007 NEW YORK -- About 15 minutes into Wednesday night's press performance of "The Pirate Queen" on Broadway, the show's ailing star, Stephanie J. Block, walked her own plank into the wings, never to return. With the orchestra missing nary a toot of a pipe, out popped her understudy, none other than Chicago actress Kathy Voytko. All of...

Tickets are $31.25 and are varying degrees of obstructed view on the side. I had row E 9 which was far enough back that it was great, but row CC 9 cut off a good chunk of the stage. Most of the time it was okay since the action is pretty centered, but in the dance numbers you couldn't see most of the left side of the stage. Ask for seats on the left side because from what I've hear the right side is obstructed by a box on the stage for at least part of the first act. Thursday 3/29 I was the o...

Hi Popular, yup, that was me! I'll report back, but I'll say in advance that I'm sucky at reviewing, and others have already done such a great job and noting the differences! But I'll try! I'm planning on going both Thursday and Sunday, can't wait to see it again!

Good to know! I guess I'll have to redouble my lotto tries...haven't seen it in over a year since my luck has been so bad. :p

A- in Chicago, and I'll form an opinion on the NYC version on Thursday!

> Seeing this show a few times has changed my opinion that there are no familiar melodies. I have so many stuck in my head all day now! I noticed that too! The first time I saw it I liked it, but nothing stayed with me. But ever since my second time seeing it (ended up seeing it five times), I've had the songs *constantly* stuck in my head!

No! And I'm sorry if it sounded like I was accusing you of snubbing them, I was just curious since you said you didn't get to meet Hadley if that was why!

Popular, oh it totally doesn't sound like that, I know what you mean! Heh, I was one of the first to talk to her that night since I ended up right up by the doors.

I so didn't read the dates on this right, I was at the show on the 17th too! Heh, the poor guy hanging there, but it was funny the way he waved to the crowd. I'm not sure if he was stuck in the netting though, I think his rope just didn't go up. The boyfriend of one of the cast memebers was sitting behind me, and he said that's the fourth time something like that has happened, and everything is so automated that if one thing doesn't go right (ie guy on rope being raised) the next thing can't ...

Oh wow, I don't think I ever even considered the thought that they might recast anyone! They'd better not, everyone is just perfect in their roles!

I just have to add to The Pirate Queen love! I originally had tickets for the November 5 show but then when it opened decided that I wanted to see it earlier, I was curious to see if any changes would be made. So I got tickets to the Oct 8 show and I liked it, but I admit that it didn't really stay with me at first. I thought the actors were amazing and I loved the dancing and the Celtic inspired music, but I couldn't understand a lot of the ensemble songs (part of it was due to being in the ...

> I'm sure no one is thinking of cutting "I'll Be There". Just the same, I thought I'd remind you to be sure to keep that one. I asked Hadley about that last night, both "I'll Be There" and my other favorite "Here On this Night", and he said he's pretty sure those are safe. I don't think he could really say much, but I got the impression they will be making significant changes. I happened to sit by the boyfriend of a cast member, and he said that they're going to be adding in more fighting an...
