EVERY BRILLIANT THING Reviews

kevinr said: "When are the participants chosen?"

He’s running around passing out cards to read basically as soon as doors open about 30 minutes before the show, and he uses that time and interactions to pick out who he’s going to choose for larger roles, so it’ll vary a bit I’m sure. The night I went he initially gave me a card to read about 10-15 minutes after doors opened, and then asked me about a larger part at almost the time th

How is seeing the show from the stage....does Daniel have his back to you through most of it? Just wondering as I will be seeing it with Mariska Hargitay but have not purchased tickets yet. Also, are the audience "participants" selected from those onstage or throughout the theater? Thanks in advance for responses to my

whatdoesntkillme said: "Chris Jones suggests that at least one of the audience participants is a plant:

"But while it’s not entirely true to say he is the one and only actor in that show, given that I witnessed one of the 'audience'members leaving through the stage door, it is a magnificent solo performance nonetheless."

Anyone know anything about this? How does it work in terms of Equity rules, Playbill credits, etc.? I haven't seen the show and am not looking to spoil the fun for anyone but am fascinated, though not wholly unsurprised, by the situation.
"

That person doesn’t know what they’re talking about. I was one of the people chosen to participate last week, and we get to hang out backstage for a few minutes to properly meet and chat with Dan and get pictures and such. We then exit out of one of the stage doors right behind where the crowd gathers. I think it’s the same door the rest of the people sitting on stage exit, but they had us hanging back on the opposite side of the stage so I didn’t see for sure. I promise none of the participants are plants, just super lucky audience members.


Oscar Isaac and Rachel Brosnahan in THE SIGN IN SIDNEY BRUSTEIN’S WINDOW at BAM

JasonC3 said: "Quick in and out for member tickets today. Pricing was not as bad as I anticipated, particularly with the 20% member discount."

Trying to plan ahead for the general on sale, what is the high end of the ticket price range? I tend to prefer to sit closer in orch if prices are in my budget. Or maybe I’ll get a membership if with 20% off I’d break even on 2 tickets lol.


A STRANGE LOOP On Broadway - News & Discussion Thread

pagereynolds said: "BMcGregor said: "I saw the Sunday 6/19 performance and Edwin Bates was announced to be going on as Usher right before the performance. They had to hold the curtain to get the new Usher ready.



Edwin was spectacular beyond belief. I was absolutely stunned. Also I believe this was their Broadway debut that day.
"

I don't think that's the reason they were holding. Edwin went on Saturday as well, and Jacquel h


Bandstand Rush Reports

I went last night at about 5 minutes til doors and they still had orch rush left, but no mezz. Got row N seat 21, which was a great view, all I missed was the bar and nothing really happens there. Also half the row was empty so I slid over during intermission.


Elsie Fest: October 8, 2017

PatrickDC said: "LxGstv said: "ChildofEarth said: "How the hell did Criss manage to pull Audra? This is a FANTASTIC lineup (Well, Alan and Audra)"

Hasn't been confirmed yet. Everyone tweeted under it that it's not official yet.
"

 

Should they be publicizing a big name like Audra before she's confirmed? And without a footnote noting she is not confirmed or "tentative cast", etc.? See

South Florida said: "Can someone address the situation on Sunday performances because my wife is flying up specifically to see Euan next Sunday and she will be heartbroken.

Well, as I don't think there's a show next Sunday according to the show's site, idk which Sunday you actually mean lol. If you mean this Sunday the 21st, since they appear to have a week off before Boston, it's unlikely he'd tak


Hamilton Chicago - 2/10/17

Call_me_jorge said: "Can't tell if this is from two nights ago or from last night. If it's from last night congrats to him on going on again! Is there another kG3 understudy besides Jin ha and Joseph? I wonder how it would work if Jin were to be out when joseph needed to be on as Hamilton https://instagram.com/p/BSPxnvJgK5D/

I saw the evening show last night and Joseph was on as the king. He was fantastic!


A ‘Hamlet’ With Oscar Isaac, Once Canceled, Will Run at the Public Theater

abbagirl said: "Anyone know if the Public is gonna do one of their Free First Previews for this show? (I'm guessing no?)

 

"

It's listed on the calendar with the symbol they use for free first previews, and you can't select June 20th when buying tickets, so I'd say they are.


A ‘Hamlet’ With Oscar Isaac, Once Canceled, Will Run at the Public Theater

I did have to manually refresh the page as it didn't seem to do it automatically, but managed to snag seats in the center section row e, so not bad at all. I had prepared for a mess from what i'd seen on here, so relatively pain free this time it seems.


HEDWIG TOUR

pg1287 said: "Having seen the tour in both Detroit and Chicago I have noticed that "Angry Inch" is usually the song that triggers most of the walk outs. Saw 2-3 couples leave in Detroit and 4-5 leave in Chicago. I have also had the pleasure of seeing both Euan and Mason go on as Hedwig, and to be honest I actually enjoyed the standby Mason a bit more. Hopefully he gets to go on a few more times before the tour ends.

"

i didn't want to say it befo


HEDWIG TOUR

I heard of walkouts in Detroit as well, though didn't personally see any due to being closer to the stage than they must have been (mostly had seats side orch third row or closer) Season ticket holders who clearly must not have read any descriptions most likely. 

And as the person above said, they use the lift in every city I believe. Not quite as impressive as the one used on Broadway, but glad they figured a way to still kinda fit it in. 


HEDWIG TOUR

It wouldn't surprise me if he's still not 100%, he missed six shows in a row in Detroit because he got strep. I actually ended up seeing the standby, Mason, more than Euan (3 vs 1, thanks cheap student rush lol). However, he most likely went on Sunday night because Mason was very good at tweeting every time he was on in Detroit. Hopefully someone who went can respond with how he sounded that particular night.

I saw Euan's 2nd show back aft


Elsie Fest: Musical Theater Coachella?

Lea was first because she had another event to go to this evening. She more than likely asked to go first so she wouldn't be rushed to get there. Otherwise I have no doubt Starkid would have gone first.


Just like I'm sure since the top names on the posters were Aaron and Darren, they were meant to be the headliners who go last initially, but Aaron went on before Leslie. Leslie probably couldn't get there any earlier with a matinee to perform in, so they worked around


Ladies and Gentleman....Taye Diggs is your next Hedwig

"Slightly off topic but I'm seeing the show Wednesday night and was wondering how the view was from the last row of the mezzanine?"


 I saw it from the very back corner seat of the mezz and all you miss is the audience interaction during sugar daddy. the theater is small enough i don't think there's really a bad seat there.


Ladies and Gentleman....Taye Diggs is your next Hedwig

"The context doesn't change the meaning. It a ludicrous, ignorant  statement.
I'm not a huge fan of the performance of Taye's that I saw (his first), but I don't think anyone would call about.com an "official" review."


 They are literally saying that it wasn't Hedwig (the show), not that JCM wasn't Hedwig (the character). Reading comprehension is a wonderful thing, context does matter. it's an honest statement, if he changed enough


Applause Before

I've actually had quite a Hedwig filled day since I found an audio of Taye from yesterday, then watched a boot of JCM. Both had applause, JCM's rather loud tbh. My first 2 times live had silence, so I had hoped that was more common, but it seems applause happens more than I would have thought.


 


also agree that one shouldn't add to the noise if they want silence. Dude next to me shut up pretty fast when he noticed my body language alone (death glare and crossed arms


Applause Before

I've had a mix of crowd reactions there, some with silence, once w/ too much applause tbh, and once with some scattered applause that ended before the applause track they play, so it wasn't too noticeable tbh.


By far, the silence is the most powerful and preferred for me. There's something powerful in a room full of people practically holding their breath and waiting to see what is going to happen. The time people applauded and cheered (one particularly loud person right


Ladies and Gentleman....Taye Diggs is your next Hedwig

I'm totally fine with Taye not wanting to sign at stagedoor, he's not obligated to. If I was in their position I'd probably avoid it most nights too (but i'm an introvert and that would be entirely too draining to do often).


However, I do feel they should be straightforward about it, tell the crowd he may not sign or he may not sign for long. Also, if Taye doesn't want to do it, he shouldn't post a pic of him signing on his twitter/instagram so all his fans can get their hopes up w
