Oh wow - that just happens to be the performance I have tickets for. It'll be interesting having the final performance be my first/only viewing.Really glad I get to catch this one before it closes, I really liked their Tony performance.

It may be a simple lyric, but the "Day in Falsettoland" refrain of "Do you know all I want is you? Everything you do is alright, yes it's alright" is one of my favorite declarations of everyday love. May his memory be a blessing.

I say this not meaning to stir things up (I'm also excited about the snippet!), but I think this was meant for Kickstarter backers only.

I've never seen the original movie - will I be able to follow along without knowing it?

I went on Friday. I agree that there are a lot of structural problems, and that the songs (while often tuneful) often sounded very similar. But I'd never seen Raul Esparza perform live before, and for me that was worth the price of admission.Others I've talked to have basically agreed that the performances and sets/lighting are excellent, and they had fun despite the other issues. That's not exactly glowing praise for a transfer, but it's not quite the pan of some of the reviews.

Thanks all, sounds like it's best to stay in the center.Any downside to using TodayTix and the pick your seats feature? It appears to be a discount of around 20%.

I've heard to avoid the far left orchestra because you can't see the billboard.How about far orchestra right? Or am I better off in the mezzanine?

Looking for discounts for any of the following:-Water for Elephants-The Lonely Few at MCC-Three Houses at Signature

This was back in January, but I found the Kimberly Akimbo stage door to be very chill. The crowds were small, everyone came out and signed, and we chatted with a few of the cast for a bit.

After the week I've had, this is definitely the good news I've needed.My first exposure to Raul was listening to cast recordings of tick, tick, Boom and Rocky Horror Show, and I'm excited to be able to see him in person.

I saw an early preview of The Sound Within back in 2019. My mom and I happened to be seated next to David Cromer and his assistant director. They both introduced themselves, and explained what they were doing and told us in advance that we might hear them whispering or bringing out light to take notes.I guess it depends on the show, but I didn't find it distracting. If nothing else, it was really cool to see that part of the creative process!

For what it's worth, I was pleasantly surprised that Victoria was in at last Tuesday's performance (January 9th). And while I'm sure her understudies are great, her performance was what really tied the show together IMO. No idea if there's been a schedule change since then.

Anyone recent reports of TDF seat locations for Kimberly Akimbo? It's on the list of shows we definitely want to see on our January trip, but I'm debating TDF vs. finding an offer code.

Didn't Waitress have a stunt cast for the role of Joe that was a woman? I remember hearing they changed the lines about losing the baby when Joe is reminiscing.On another note: I've seen a couple of local productions of Guys and Dolls where Arvide Abernathy is a female character. I also recently saw a local production of Anything Goes where Moonface Martin is a woman, who instead disguises herself as a nun (and gets the girl in the end).

I saw Swept Away at Berkeley Rep and really loved it.For anyone who has seen the DC version, what's the song list? (And if anyone has seen both, I'd love to hear about the differences!)

A lot of that has to do with venues--so often tours are in spaces that absolutely dwarf the productions and encourage the kind of flat theme park quality that can creep in over long runs. A regional will almost always be fresher and it is bespoke to the (usually much more intimate) space. Also less likely to get cruise ship-y tribute concert shows taking up half th...

I had tickets to Cursed Child in San Francisco pre-Covid shutdown. In the intervening time, Rowling double-downed on her transphobia, and I've since decided I no longer want to see/read anything related to Harry Potter. Rowling killed the magic for me. That being said, I don't find it personally useful to get in fights with strangers about it. If someone asks why I'm skipping it I'm happy to discuss, but I don't find it the best use of my time or mental energy to pick fights over it.

gibsons2 said: "Any rumors on Suffs? Is Lempicka still happening? Both are original musicals."I saw Jenn Colella in June in San Francisco. She mentioned that "hopefully by this time next year" Suffs would be on Broadway, and mentioned the recent workshop. So it sounds like the will is there, but it'll depend on financing / house availability / etc.
