Has anyone been--opened Nov 15th? Tickets are quite expensive so I was hoping to get some candid feedback before plunking down $40-$50.

I had really been looking forward to the promise of this show and am rethinking it. I have one, maybe two spots left for a short NYE/NYC trip. For those who have called it boring--and there are quite a few--how would you compare its boringness quotient to other shows that some people have found boring but others loved?For example, I absolutely loved The Band's Visit and The Light in the Piazza, while some of my friends found them totally soporific. Is it more of a "not my cup of tea" boring b...

I am not such a huge BP fan but she is making me cry now....perfect ending while we are all on our own.

I bet they could sell a LOT of copies if they made a CD and/or DVD of all these performances, and thereby raise some more money for ASTEP.

I hope the whole thing will be available as a package tomorrow....keeps cutting out even after the delay....I hate to think what I am missing. I saw Kelli O'Hara and then Judy Kuhn thing just flat out froze up.

Dear God, please let them overcome the tech probs! I have really been working myself up for this!

The viewer count is declining now as people give up....

So, I saw the show again last night. Three in NY (Munoz/Dixon, Luwoye/Breaker, McFerrin/Breaker), Atlanta with Angelica tour (Scott/ Christopher), and finally, last night, in Dallas with the Philip tour. Most of the cast was intact except for Eliza and Hamilton (Sunday night, natch). Walker was excellent as Burr but I have to say that standby Pierre Jean Gonzalez was absolutely tremendous as Hamilton. Ten times better than McFerrin was, for my money. Right on time with all the spoken and sung...

I actually burst into tears at "Seasons of Love" (during the show, not as much for the ending)....not because it was so great or so awful but because my oldest friend's 21 yr old daughter basically dropped dead two weeks ago....she was about to graduate a year early as a music theater major and the church choir sang that "Seasons of Love" at her funeral (as well as the Marc Shaiman arrangement of "Hail Holy Queen" from "Sister Act" which made us smile for two minutes). I am not sure I can eve...

Fair Park Music Hall in Dallas has at least 3000 to 3500 (and bad acoustics) and the Fox in Atlanta is giant, like 4500+.

It's a whole new world...ATTPAC and DSM join hands?https://www.dallasnews.com/arts/theater/2018/12/04/dallas-summer-musicals-attpac-cooperate-dallas-broadway?fbclid=IwAR3Tr03xknWTPXYZgaFIl_l2F80HZuxz_mGXPYNOesFjMmIvPHgvnTpOgb4

I take it you bought this ticket n the secondary market, given the price you apparently paid? Face value should be more like half of that, for that seat. The last time I went, I had row T on the inside (center) aisle and it was $229 plus fee, totaling around $240-$250 (bought from Ticketmaster on the day they were released).

Oh, yeah, and I forgot to mention that Mandy was totally off-pitch for the first half of "Satisfied." It was painful.

I went last week. Unless they are adding stuff into the main exhibition spaces, a half hour is enough. As of June 25th, it was posters, set design artwork, photos, one video screen, and explanatory panels along the side walls downstairs near the circulation desk (including around the back corner) and a bit more on the second floor. At that time, anyway, the main spaces were closed for the teardown of the Bernstein exhibit. The R & H a small exhibit.

I recently saw this one-woman show downtown at the Flea, and it is only playing through this weekend (8 July). Highly recommended.....funny, bizarre, tasteless, moving, endearing...a little bit of everything. Lisa Hodsoll is great and originated themrole in DC. Plus, fresh-baked cookies! I live in Dallas and wish someone would do it or bring it here so all my theater fan friends could see it. We are a blue city and a blue county in a sea of red, but pretty much everyone likes Laura Bush. I th...

I know OP has already spent those days, but for anyone else there this summer:Heavenly Bodies exhibit at the Met 5th AND Met Cloisters is to die for. It is basically in three parts. The Vatican items are downstairs in the Costume Institute rooms. In the Byzantine and Medieval galleries on the main floor you will find about 60-65% of the modern clothes, with the other 30-35% being at the Cloisters. Fort Tryon Park looks beautiful right now so it is worth the stroll from the 190th St. station t...

Saw it again last week...fourth overall and third time in NY. Observations and opinions:1) Lexi and Mandy are stiiiiiilllllll there. 2) I think we were between a Madison/Mulligan main cast change. It was A.Chappell.3) James Monroe Iglehart did nothing for me as Lafayette/Jefferson.4) Daniel Breaker is still a very good Burr.5) Euan Morton as KG still very entertaining.6) We got Javon McFerrin as Hamilton. Honestly, he is just not right for that role, in my opinion. Maybe too young? He was ok ...

I would say that the longer availability indicates a slight slackening of demand, even if the end result is still a sellout. In addition, the overall supply since I bought those tickets in June 2016 (for March 2017) has increased...
