I haven't walked out of any shows mainly due to the cost of tickets & travel; or I'm with the person that has bought me a ticket and I don't to come off as ungrateful or rude. I wish I could've walked out of Amazing Grace. Other than the title number performed beautifully at the end, the show was horrid.War Paint wasn't much better. I hated the score, but being able to see Patti Lupone live and the hilarious snarky scene at the end of Act 2 made it worth staying. I also really didn't care for...

I'm sorry for this one. I love the score for Matilda as well as the story, but I absolutely hated the show. .

The rest of the show when he didnt have to walk around was him going to his little table and drinking water. Lea Salonga and Kenita Miller were in the moment the whole time and gave beautiful performances."^ accurate."I'm not in agreement about Alex, but I am 110% in agreement about Kenita Miller....

It was emotional and Alex crying when hugging the kids in the If Only You Would Listen (Reprise) made me bawl. The crowd was on fire and it was just an absolute blast and a fun time! I would see again in a heartbeat.

I was in the 2nd Row of it. Its raised now so you get a clear view of the stage but it's pretty far back and the fact that it's raises makes it seem really really high. If you're afraid of heights at all, I wouldn't recommend it.

I haven't walked out of a show yet, but I was pretty close with Amazing Grace. What an absolutely terrible show. The best part of it was the last 10 minutes when they sang the title number. Waste of a very talented cast too.In the beginning of their run, I saw a lot of people walk out of Heathers during intermission.

I've sat all over the room, and all in all, the sight lines are pretty good from everywhere. It's not much larger than a Broadway house, not like the massive theater some touring cities have. The rear of the mezzanine gets to be a bit far from the stage, but everywhere down stairs is pretty good. Thank you so much for the answer! I'm definitely happier i splu...

I saw the show on the 1st of the month and I really enjoyed it. However, I walked into it not knowing anything at all. I definitely enjoyed the second act more than the first. The score was absolutely wonderful and SJB and Brandon Uranowitz were my absolute favorites.

Hey there! So this is not a 100% exact Broadway question, but I wanted to post on the thread because people on here usually are honest about seating views and there's no New Jersey section of a Broadwayworld thread. I just bought 2 rear orchestra tickets to see the 20th Anniversary Rent tour at the State Theatre in New Brunswick, NJ. Has anyone been to this theatre before? Where did you sit and how was your view of the stage?

I have a question in relation to Alex Brightman in SOR. I heard from a friend that he doesn't perform matinees. Is this true? I'm planning to rush it in the near future and just want to know for sure. I don't mind seeing an understudy at all though.

I walked into this show for the 1st time on my birthday (Saturday March 5th) knowing and expecting nothing and walked out with tunes in my head and a smile on my face. I couldn't resist the TodayTix deals so I saw it the next two Saturdays in a row. I can only daydream about the power and emotion through Carmen's last "At Last."

Just saw! What a wonderful thread. I'm gonna be kicking myself for a long while for it, but I hope the show lives on in some way.

I ended up not rushing the show (I woke up with a migraine from hell that made me extremely nauseous) and I'm kicking myself for it. I am glad and grateful that I got to see it the three times I did in March. I hope it finds fans regionally (not sure it'll tour but one can hope!) and it lives on. It's a beautiful show gone too soon.Another question: for people that saw it closing night or pre-closing night (I guess it goes back to the opening night and closing night threads), how was the show...

Thank you all so much for all of the updates and responses! I better bring extra cash and get there earlier than I expected. I think I'll try for Saturday instead of closing day cause I'd have a better chance with the 2 shows.

Hello! Has anyone rushed Bright Star since they announced closing? I was thinking of rushing it this coming Saturday or on the day they close. What time did you get there and how many people were in front of you? Also, how were the seats you were given?. I've seen the show three times (it was one that I walked into knowing nothing and was very surprised) and all three times I bought tickets for the balcony (twice from Todaytix). Thank you!

Oh my god this is really happening. I had to check the boards I thought Theatremania got hacked. Will there be a number called Free Parking or Do Not Pass Go?

Seeing Bright Star 3 times now (and it's a wonderful little show), I 100% agree with everyone saying they had the wrong song choice. I think they mainly chose it for it being very "Carmen-Centric." I think "Whoa, Mama" or "Sun is Gonna Shine Again" would've been better choices or having Carmen do a stand alone number like "Way Back in the Day" or "At Long Last" (which all 3 times made me tear up). I love this show and I hope it keeps going for just a bit longer.
