Profile for JT2030

EDIT: Tonight's 7/16 evening performance is back on-sale on Telecharge, with Hannah + Jackie on tonight.More importantly - anyone had a chance to see Hannah/Jackie? I'm out of town or else I'd absolutely have gone by now, I have no doubt they're both wild together.And I do hope Meg gets better soon, am planning a Labor Day trip to see her

Kad said: "Mr. Wormwood said: "The fake "extensions" are all semantics and marketing tricks but there seems to be something to it because shows like Mincemeat and Oh Mary have made it work really well for them."Yes, it's artificial scarcity. But it helps make a production feel like an event that you may miss out on, which people are still very willing to pay for. Oh Mary has coupled that with genuinely exciting cast changes, so it really is more of an event even if it's obvious that the produ...

The show has been aggressively dynamically pricing both up *and* down -- last Sunday matinee, beyond a handful of $239 premium seats, the rest of the house ranged from $88, $115 and $125 before fees. Granted, last weekend was the perfect storm of 4th of July + World Cup.But that seems to be their approach to which I agree with an earlier poster on: Why not send standard price tickets to TKTS? They'd likely clean up even at a nominal discount. I'm baffled on the remaining mindset that "my show...

WOW - what a cast!!!I didn't see its initial run, though I believe the reception was very positive / there was general Pulitzer buzz.https://www.broadwayworld.com/article/Lupita-Nyongo-Edie-Falco-Phillipa-Soo-and-More-to-Star-in-PRE-EXISTING-CONDITION-Off-Broadway-20260708Also nice to see not-insane ticket prices - $49/$69/$89/$119/$139. The Mezzanine at Greenwich House admittedly scares me a bit (lol) - but I sat in the very rear Orchestra for Bug back in the day and the view was fine.Anyone...

If anything, it would need to be the individual theatre owners that have their own packages (Shubert, Nederlander, ATG, etc) since doing the à la carte approach for all theatres feels like a good way to get screwed over by communication issues"Agreed with all of these very thoughtful points.A traditional "subscription" model is a often person paying in advance for a set number of shows, where often t...

" If you don't sit right on the elevated centre,you miss a full room of the house. The staging and design is inept." So, is the front mezzanine best for this?" I'd say Center Mid/Rear Orchestra (though avoid anything under the overhang) and any of the first rows of the Front/Mid Mezzanine. Try to be as center as you can, though in DC we were t...

VernonGersch said: "Have heard nothing but good things about the show out of London and LA. I am going to be in Boston in a few weeks where it is playing a pre-Broadway run - I tried multiple times using a discount code I got but it wouldn't work - this show is NOT selling - there are so many seats available and it is so frustrating that ATG discount code won't work.ATG needs to reward their customer base better by creating discount codes that actually work (FEAR99 did not work) or this will ...

I was just chatting about the new production of Spring Awakening with a friend this week; we both were pretty sure that if it's a hit, they'll find *some* future for it.

It's *very* different than Grey House - and the production + actors + illusions that actually furthered the plot / weren't just for 'ooooh look at me, how cool' sake made up for the spotty playscript (which is damning with faint praise on the writing end, I know....)Keep an eye on the reviews + def look for rush or discounts that I imagine will be plentiful. It's so unique and different than what we've seen on Broadway that it's worth checking out (for a reasonable ticket price.) My $0.02 :-)

Let me say upfront - while I'm not affiliated with the show, I'm a big fan and hope it succeeds.That being said - is there much precedent for a show moving it's opening night up so significantly (other than needing / hoping for some great reviews + press?)https://www.broadwayworld.com/article/PARANORMAL-ACTIVITY-Sets-New-Opening-Night-on-Broadway-20260624The pre-Broadway run at the Emerson Colonial (again, WHY such a massive venue?) is barely sold / starts in two-ish weeks, and barely any tic...

Echoing earlier posters -- traditionally, opening nights have just been invite only, though over the past few seasons unless it's a show with a *major* star or a huge title, keep an eye on Telecharge day or two before the performance (if tickets become avail, the performance will magically reappear on the calendar). And at the very last minute, TKTS will be a spot shows drop some leftover seats.

I'm pretty sure they pulled all the codes around awards-nomination season. That being said:- Try the ticket lottery. It took a few tries but my friend and I won and had far-side stage right Orchestra seats which were really fantastic.- And on that note: 99% percent of the play is center-staged. Beyond a few entrances and exits, anything slightly less expensive marked 'Partial View' upstairs or downstairs should be totally fine / you won't miss any of the major action.

One clue to note (and this is by *NO* means iron-clad) is noting if any theatre owners are involved with specific shows as producers. ATG has a massive West End footprint + a long term relationship with Sonia Friedman, so it makes sense that Paddington and potentially Dolly (which ATG is a producer on) would end up in one of their houses. That also being said, this again isn't 100% the case - James L. Nederlander is one of the lead producers on 860 for one, and though the 'official' pre-Broad...

Considering how thoughtful and first-rate the casting has been for Broadway + West End, I'm sure they'll find someone wonderful. I do like the idea of having different Mary Todd's who are local favorites from regional theatres where there's such an abundance of talent that would make each city a bit of an event.That being said (pure speculation), I think Hannah Solow would be a wonderful choice / showcase how great she is all around. And I recall *awhile* back speculation that Cole + Conrad m...

Judge just denied the last-minute appeal:https://apnews.com/article/trump-name-kennedy-center-e6caa6a7c6115671490278491ee9e96cBarring some last gasp (which is quite unlikely at this point), multiple live-streams are up + scaffolding is complete:https://www.ms.now/news/watch-trump-name-removal-kennedy-center

And *that's* why I need to always read the full press release :-) Sullivan directing is wonderful and I'm now even more excited to see what he + the cast do.(Also, I'm starting the campaign now for the Delacorte Raccoons to play The Bear.)

What a splendid cast:https://www.broadwayworld.com/article/Ral-Esparza-Lily-Rabe-and-More-to-Star-in-THE-WINTERS-TALE-at-Free-Shakespeare-in-the-Park-20260610Thrilled we'll see Lily Rabe + Raul Esparza back onstage multiple times this year, Steven Skybell is consistently wonderful, and CHUCK COOPER! A treasure who's performance in Trouble In Mind was spectacular in that gem of a production. Excited to see this!

Random thoughts:*I remain surprised (in a good way) how Felton's joining Cursed Child has really given it a kick that remains / very cool to see him playing an extended engagement.*What's up with Wicked's $106 ATP? Are there discreet discounts floating around / they're packing the house with rush or lottery? It's quite clearly not in danger of closing, just interesting to note. Which brings me to...*This summer already seems on track to be really, really rough. Removing any political lens fro...

I'm with an earlier poster in that it'd be lovely (if perhaps unlikely, since the production will have a hopefully strong + successful tour) for there either to be a Proshot or a "Great Performances" capture.
