I was at the 4pm show yesterday and Michaela Jaé did perform, but there was no announcement or recognition that I heard.

Hi everyone! Any thoughts on if the railing for Dress Circle, Row A, Seats 14-16, is an issue? It looks like as you move toward the far sides, it does start to block the view based on photos online, but hoping these seats aren’t too far over. Would appreciate any thoughts anyone has if they’ve sat there. Just saw the show this past weekend from Orchestra, Row H, Seats 2-4, and it was awesome!

FYI...looks like it's back as a Critic's Pick on the NYT website, both at the top of the review and if you go to the Critic's Pick list.It has certainly been interesting seeing all the varied reviews of this production. I have never seen a production of Carousel before, nor am I overly familiar with story, so I've decided to give it a shot during my May trip to NYC. It was helpful reading everyone's comments on the board.

I’m also heading into town that weekend for my annual (ok sometimes twice annual) marathon theater weekends. I’ve bought tickets so far for Mean Girls (Thu eve), Boys In the Band (Fri eve), Angels in America (Sat mat and eve), and Three Tall Women (Sun mat). I had been planning on Carousel for Sun eve as it’s one of the few classic shows I’ve never seen, but word of mouth on here so far has me holding off. From what I can tell, Spongebob and Once On This Island also have Sunday evening perfor...

Hope a seating question is OK here. For the dates I am looking at, there is nothing closer than Orch Row J. Would that be better, or Row A of the Mezz? Have read mixed things about Mezz at the Booth.

Hey, just a heads-up - a bunch of very good non-premium orchestra seats available for this Saturday matinee. I just picked up two on the center aisle.

I also have a May trip booked with tickets purchase for The Great Comet, War Paint, Hello Dolly, and Sweeney Todd so far. That leaves me one spot left, so I'm playing the wait and see game as there are too many options!

I recently purchased tickets via Stubhub for January. I just received the tickets and they are marked "Mobility Impaired". Do you think I should contact Stubhub about this? A) I don't wan't to take an accessible seat from someone who may need one, and B) I don't want to get to the theater and be denied the seats.

Hi everyone! Wanted to get your opinion on if you think Orch H 9-11 are too far to the side for DEH? These are the best seats I can get for my preferred date. I can get Orch L 2-4 on an alternate date, but that would be the day I fly into Newark landing at 4PM and I always get a little nervous booking a show for the day I arrive (I've been burned before by delayed flights).

Hey blueshadows, I'll be there at about the same time (6th - 9th). I have tix to Sweet Charity and Falsettos and have three slots to fill. I was just asssuming DEH would fill one of them, but all the shows that weekend are completely sold out - I knew it was popular, but didn't realize it was that popular! I'm thinking "The Present" will take a slot for me over "Waitress" since the latter will tour (although I'm sure Jessie is great).BTW, I checked on DEH tix for my May trip and seats are alr...

Thanks again for all the great info. Luscious, I'm going with your advice and just booked BC 21/23 for May. I do see in a photo of the stage how those seats seem to stick out past the ones in front, and are a bit elevated, so it does look like they will provide a great view!Mr Kelly - I was able to book on stage seats for May. Make sure to click the toggle button at the right for stage seating and it should bring them up on Telecharge.

I am looking to get tickets for May and this thread has been very helpful in narrowing down the options. I think it’s between: 1 - front row front mezz, 2 - front row on center aisle of upstage banquettes, or 3 - upholstered armchairs on either side of Pierre’s Study. Front row mezz is appealing as it sounds like that may give the best overall view, but there is something very unique about sitting on stage that I likely won’t get at our touring theater. All three options are within $30 of eac...

FYI...looks like the AMEX presale has started via Ticketmaster. I am taking my mom to NYC for Mother's Day weekend and this is the show she most wants to see, so going to go for full price seats.

I have wanted to see a production of Falsettos ever since discovering the cast albums years ago and I enjoyed the show tonight. Tally Sessions was on for Mendel and I thought he did a great job, wouldn't know he wasn't the regular in the role. Courtney Balan was on for Trina and was good. Personally I enjoyed the second act much more, although that may be because I listen to the Falsettoland album much more frequently than March. Andrew Rannells was the standout for me of the show.

Looks like understudies tonight for Trina and Mendel. Can't say I'm not a little disappointed as I planned this NYC trip just to catch this show, but hopefully they'll be great!

Was there on Sunday as well and notice the disparity between the entrance applause. It felt a little awkward when the understudies came out to near silence after huge applause for original cast members. The only original who didn't get the applause (that I noticed) was Renee as she kind of comes on stage in the middle of the number without a good place for applause.

I was at the Sunday show and Leslie, Daveed, and Phillipa were all out. Can't say I was thrilled when I saw the Playbill insert, but everyone turned out to be great (I had the opportunity to see the show in September with the full cast so I wasn't as disappointed as others in the audience). I thought Sydney was especially good and could definitely see him as a full time Burr. Seth Stewart as Lafayette/Jefferson took the longest to adjust to as, to me, it was the most different from the origin...

They had them yesterday.

Having tix for today, sorry to hear Daveed will be out, but Iooking forward to seeing whoever goes on. Philly and DC are not that far from NYC, so really hoping Leslie and Chris wait until after the show today to head out. But whatever happens, hapoens - sure it will still be great!

I'm also going the weekend before July 4th and have a similar schedule: She Loves Me (Sat 2pm), Shuffle Along (Sat 8pm), and Hamilton (Sun 3pm). One option we are considering for Sunday evening if you're up for something a little different is 54 Below is doing a Tribute to Prince. I've been there once before and loved the atmosphere and the cast (just posted on their website) looks pretty good.For Shuffle, I did not get an email from Telecharge, so wondering if Audra is still scheduled for th...
