Hedwig has strobe lights and fog. I distinctly remember sitting in the front orchestra and having the fog from the stage roll onto the first few rows during the reprise of Wicked Little Town.

Well I guess I'm the outlier here. I saw the LA show earlier this week, and I thought it was good. I agree it wasn't as good as the Broadway production but I didn't go in expecting it to be (since when has a tour ever been better than its Broadway counterpart??)... The set was surprisingly well done and the actors were all on point. I particularly enjoyed Matilda (Gabby Gutierrez) and Mr. and Mrs. Wormwood. Bryce was definitely not as good as Bertie but he also was not bad at all. I thought h...

Saw all three leading ladies... My order would be: 1. Michelle Williams 2. Sienna Miller 3. Emma Stone Its not like Stone was bad, she was definitely better than I expected and was actually quite good, but she did not really compare to the other two in their ability to portray Sally's ups and downs. And I know not everyone like Williams, but I thought she brought something really unique and special to the role. This show really meant a lot to me. I didn't mind that it was a word for word copy...

I would be very interested, actually, in seeing a remake of the Cabaret 1972 film, but based on the 1998 production instead of the earlier ones... I guess it wouldn't be a remake because it would be really completely different from the 1972 version, it would be more sexual and more aggressive.

I really hope they do something to remember this production. We do have the recording of the 98 production with Natasha and Alan, but that production was never fully recorded (on video) to my knowledge. I do believe this production or version of Cabaret is amazing and it is very said that it will possibly fade away. This production needs to live on somehow...

How does the grinder bit work? which seat usually gets called up on stage?

definitely "cabaret/finale" from Cabaret! chills, everytime! It's like a slap in the face! Also "Midnight Radio" from Hedwig

I have front row center tickets to Hedwig in March, so I second this question... I would imagine they are great considering Hedwig's interaction with the audience. But at the same time, isn't the Belasco known for having a tall stage? Would that be awkward for the first row?

Honestly, there are so many better shows on Broadway right now... ...But if I HAD To pick, I'd say Wicked.

Ok, I'll be going with MATILDA. Thanks everyone for the help! I listened to the cast recording again, and I remembered everything I love about the show. Also, Les Mis will always be playing somewhere :) thank you!

So far.. (if I counted correctly) 6 for Matilda and 6 for Les Mis? Also, Les Mis is like $60 cheaper than Matilda for a similar seat...

Well I'd be open to seeing other shows... I did look around but I just didn't find anything of interest. Again, I do have tickets to quite a few other shows too and I am seeing (or have already seen) most mainstream shows.

I'll be in New York for a week or so around MLK weekend, and have one more night available for theater... The only two shows left (that I have interest in) are Les Mis and Matilda. I have seen Matilda before, but I really enjoyed it and wouldn't mind seeing it again. I've seen other productions of Les Mis and I love the show, but I heard that this production is not excellent... I already have tickets to multiple other shows during my visit, so I don't really have enough money to see both. I a...

Noooooooooooooooooooo I leave NYC on January 19th. This is like my worst nightmare. But, I did already get tickets for Michael C. Hall as Hedwig...although I'll probably be crying throughout his performance out of sheer denial of my missed opportunity.

How is the view from the Mezzanine (very front row) at the Belasco theater for Hedwig and the Angry Inch? I'm planning to buy my tickets soon for a show in January, and so far, the Front Mezz. seems to be the most ideal location... But then again, I've never been to the Belasco and have never seen Hedwig in person.. so I need a second opinion. Any suggestions?

I believe Avenue Q is open on Mondays... There rush tickets are like 30 bucks and you can get great seats with them!! enjoy!

It's a very entertaining, good show. Just not a GREAT show... I liked it enough to see it a couple times, but if i had $200 to spend on tickets, I'd probably get tickets to a new show or something a little more brilliant.. I also think that price is a big factor of the lack of the fan base, with all tickets at least $100 there is no way most college students or young adults could pay for this show. They don't have a lottery, rush, or any sort of discount whatsoever! I mean, Wicked is just as ...

Unfortunately, I will not be able to visit New York until March of 2015, but I desperately want to see Hedwig. I haven't seen it before, but I am obsessed with the movie and the OBC recording. Does anyone know if Hedwig will sill be open then? Tickets are only on sale until January 4th with Michael C. Hall, but is there any talk as to what will happen afterwards? Is it going to close? Is JCM going to return to the role (or maybe only in my dreams)? Thanks for the input!!
