Profile for JudyDenmark

Just jumping back in to say I sat in C1 (house left, front row on the aisle) last night and thought it was a fantastic seat! The stage is high so I couldn’t exactly tell you what shoes any of them were wearing, but overall could see everything very clearly and it’s a great show to sit close for. I really appreciated that heads up on left vs right - left is for sure the way to go. And I really enjoyed the play overall! I did expect it to go a lot further off the rails than it did plot-wise, bu...

For seating... how partial view are those partial views in the front far sides of the orchestra? I was looking at those Row C seats on the sides (the first row of two seats), which are not technically marked as partial, but the pic of that on A View From My Seat looks almost absurdly angled. Better off sitting really close but on the side like that, or much further back but more centered for a similar price? I know the Hayes isn't huge, but it's hard to tell for this one. Appreciate any advice!

Always a chance it could do a remount and change theaters (like Mexodus) if it happens to really take off. I'm excited to see this in a couple of weeks! Bought tickets for my friend and I on a whim after seeing a trailer in an Instagram ad, which is something I've never done, so I'm glad to see that the buzz is corroborating how unique and creative it looks.

Anything current for Mexodus? (Also, is there any audience interaction in this show where I should not sit front row or on the aisle if I want to avoid that?) TY!

I was at the Saturday matinee, sitting center orchestra (right in front of Andrew Lloyd Webber, fwiw) - and while it didn't have the same exact energy as PAC, I definitely didn't feel like it was a dud at all. It was of course an older crowd, as any Saturday matinee would be, and we even heard ALW say as much to the guys he was with, but I felt like everyone was enjoying themselves! It wasn't a lot of shouting out and fan-waving, more like the kind of enthusiastic cheering and clapping you'd ...

FWIW, I'm a straight cis woman who knew absolutely nothing about ball culture. To be honest, had never even heard of it, despite unknowingly having seen some elements through the occasional drag show and Madonna's Vogue. But I was interested in the PAC production because of word of mouth (and I do have a nostalgic soft spot for the Cats score), so decided to watch Paris Is Burning before seeing it, and I am so glad I did. I'm sure I would've enjoyed the spectacle regardless, but learning what...

I LOVE Carrie Coon, I think she’s such an insanely talented actress, I’m a big Leftovers fan, and I can’t fathom her being in anything on Broadway and me not immediately getting a ticket. But I also looked up the context of the body horror and sadly know that there’s no chance in hell I could ...

I mean odds are that it will eventually tour next season, but no, it’s not that. Was just trying to be conversational since I wasn’t sure. I meant bottom left, and now I’m sure it’s Hamilton. It’s obviously not Starlight Express either on the bottom right lol. It looks like there are 10 shows here; roughly 5 columns with two shows (top and bottom) per column. What is that bottom-middle-right show if not & Juliet? Even that painting is of St. Francis which checks out.I’m assuming there are a f...

I love a season guessing game - I wish every theatre did it!Gordon Ramsey is for sure Hell’s Kitchen, as is the map of NYC below it with Hell’s Kitchen highlightedThe potion top right with the ‘forever young’ self help book below it I assume is Death Becomes HerPossibly & Juliet? (torn photo & singer at the bottom, the black & red hearts above, the painting above that)I think the bottom right group might be Elf, with the Christmas gifts and skates… but is Starlight Express touring?? There’s l...

I know it didn't win and other awards but I don't know if that matters.

RippedMan said: "There was a duet between the daughter and Betty. Is it in the NYC version?"Yes! That’s “My Hero.” I didn’t see it in Chicago so don’t know if the song changed, but that’s a duet between Betty and Trisha.And will echo the other comments about how fabulous this recording sounds. Absolute travesty that it wasn’t nominated for Best Score - there are SO many gems.

Uhhhh yes, same here!! Can I be third in this rush line? lol

kdogg36 said: "Mr. Wormwood said: "Now who knows the reasoning for picking RWHC over Boop but it is what it is"It seems logical to me:Real Women Have Curves(likeParadise Square)was nominated for Best Score. That seems relevant, as itwas the main justification for pushing forStereophonicto have a slot last year."Why would score take precedent over showing off a best choreography nomination (which Boop has a very solid shot at winning) or best costumes nomination (which it has a very solid shot...

I feel like DBH would be crazy not to do For the Gaze at the Tonys - ideally with a healthy in-character intro from Jennifer so she gets a deserved moment. Hoping/assuming Pirates does Modern Major General. The great DHP aside, it's so delightful especially with that semaphore choreo! I saw Buena Vista so long ago and loved it - really looking forward to revisiting whatever they choose. Whatever the choice, I do hope they showcase the insanely talented Renesito Avich. He unexpectedly stole th...

I saw this on Wednesday and really enjoyed it - but I can't stop thinking about how damn good that jazz singer Georgia Heers was. I know there's no chance, but sure wish they'd record an EP. I would listen to that "How High the Moon" on repeat.

bwayphreak234 said: "I am really hoping Sunset Boulevard takes sound design - truly the *BEST* sound design I have ever heard in a Broadway theatre. Crystal clear, lush, and glorious - it's like having surround sound in your ears."I fully agree with how great that sound design was, and would be happily on board with a Sunset win, but need to call out BVSC for this category too. I left that show specifically thinking about how great the sound design was, which is almost never an element I give...

Finally catching up on all of this after an annoyingly slammed work day (really, of all the days)… my biggest WTF is all of the Pirates snubbing! I had the best time at that show. So many ultra competitive categories, so it is what it is, but I am shocked that it didn’t get an orchestrations nom. Shocked.FWIW, I don’t find the Real Women Have Curves title offensive, but it’s definitely off-putting to a lot of demos. I find it nuts that they didn’t change it, and it absolutely has hurt them, i...
