If the playbills were in such poor condition and could not be sold, why didn't you tell him so? You could have just told him the truth and then work something out with him. It's his property and he should know what's being done with it. Instead, you lied to him by telling that you would be sending him a check. You also repeatedly ignored his emails and phone calls. Now you come over here to give this sorry thing of an excuse and try to do some more scamming?
For current shows, I recommend Avenue Q, The Drowsy Chaperone, and Curtains (if they're still open by then, that is). Sunday in the Park with George, South Pacific, and In the Heights are supposed to be good and will be on Broadway by spring break.
"It wasn't ME that saw it.. it was two friends of mine. They said she was really good. They were just dissapointed that they didn't get to see the woman who plays the role regularly, that's all." Did they go to Mary Poppins just to see the show, or were they really intent on catching Ashley Brown? If not, then it doesn't matters if they didn't get to see Ashley. Especially since they thought the understudy was good and enjoyed her.
If people are going to a show to see a specific person and missed him or her, they have every right to be unhappy. But should they throw a temper tantrum at the box office? No. People should know beforehand that they are taking a gamble because actors aren't robots who never get sick or have emergencies with family/friends. As for the leads whose absences are enough to cause the world to implode (such as Patti and Christine), you can just get your tickets exchanged for another date.
Well, some people might pounce on the idea because Disney owns the US distribution rights for some of the Studio Ghibli movies and we have enough Disney movies turned stage musicals on Broadway. Just kidding. Besides, they don't count as actual Disney movies. Personally, I think it'd be amazing if they could be brought to the stage. Like others have said, the fantasy movies would be hard to pull off without a big budget and a lot of creativity, though. The reality based ones such as Whisper o...
Like others have said, Spring Awakening did not cause the downfall of Grey Gardens. It would have closed around this time anyway even if it had won best musical. The two shows also have different target audiences, so Spring Awakening did not steal a significant amount of potential sales from Grey Gardens. Imagine 14 year old girls bringing corn to Matt Cavenaugh at the stagedoor while screaming, "I HOPE YOU LIKE MY CORN!!!1"
I'm sort of a seating snob. While I prefer sitting in the orchestra, I'm fine with the mezzanine too. But it has to be in the center. I refuse to sit in the side sections, as I don't like viewing the stage from an angle. I also don't like sitting under the mezzanine when in the orchestra. However, this applies only when I'm paying full price. I expect to get the most out of my experience when I'm paying between $60 to $120. I'm a lot less picky about seating when rushing. To me, there's no re...
Chicago - either Roxie or Velma would be fine The Drowsy Chaperone - title role As for closed shows, I think it would have been fun to play Amy in Company.
