I went into this yesterday afternoon as a last minute decision and curiosity.  I don’t know if the house opened late, but when I arrived at 1:35, the line was almost at 6th Ave.

As for the show, it is the spectacular people have wanted.  I went solo and was surrounded by fans of the movie and families.  And a full house.  It is far from perfect, but I think it could be review proof.

It is a wonder to watch.  Some songs could be eliminated easily an

We got free bananas afterwards...which ok?"

Why the bananas? Does he talk about fruit in his show?"

I am guessing he is playing on the term “second banana”. I’m seeing it tomorrow night (yes, it is heavily papered).  Friends have seen it and really liked it, but I am dubious.  I like him, but still don’t understand how thi

Sadie Sink is exceptional, and has the most pivotal role (talk about an amazing entrance), but this really is a show where no one is the star. Everyone was *exceptional* and the play was thought-provoking, funny, moving, and still easily digestible. Get tickets now before they become as expensive as Othello's."

But if the stage is obscenely high or another thing… gahhh why is it so hard to get cheap tickets that can actually see the damn thing?"

I can’t honestly speak to those rows as I was in G1

I mean, that is a good question.  Assuming the summer events were ticketed (free or not), LC (should have) captured patron information to add to mailing lists and email blasts.  With more modern programming at the Met, movies with a live orchestra, and programming at Jazz at LC, they may have been able to capture some

Broadway Flash said: "What does a dance party have to do with the programming at LC? I doubt summer in the city brought new people in. Probably people who either go to Lincoln center, or people who have never seen anything there and just wanted to dance. It was tacky and I hope they don’t do it again."

You contradicted yourself here.  You doubt it brought new people in and then say it might have brought new people who have never seen anything then  an

I found yesterday’s matinee (my second time) to be a far better experience than my first just under a month ago.  This is for many of the reasons stated above.  Perhaps my expectations were not so high the first time (one reason for not reading early reactions).

Yesterday, I found the show tighter, engaging, and the cast more invested.  I don’t think this needs a transfer.  It should be seen at The Shed.  The creative team and cast delivered.
