re: The BearI first saw Ebon Moss-Bacharach in Lost Girls at MCC.

I was there on Friday night. There were an inordinate amount of young women in attendance. Not too hard to figure out.

Near rave from Deadline (after the Harmony review). Reviews seem mixed to positive which is better than I expected.https://deadline.com/2023/11/harmony-danny-and-the-deep-blue-sea-reviews-1235600743/

I think that boxes are a cool way to see shows. It’s a different perspective. Also, for larger people, they’re not crammed into a seat designed for people from the 1900s. I sat in the box for ‘The Price’ and almost felt I was on stage with Danny Devito. Was thinking of doing it again.

The first act of this was the best thing I saw this weekend. Sondheim, goofiness, a first-rate cast. Yes please. Okay the second act. Not the worst I’ve seen. Most musicals lose steam after intermission. And the lack of songs is a problem. I think this is the only show I’d see again (Danny, Here Lies Love are the others).Micaela Diamond USA is a star. Please find a show for her. Rachel Bay Jones and David Hyde Pierce should go on tour together.Dennis O’Hare will probably leave the country whe...

Sad that this and Sleep Mo More are both closing. These shows don’t appeal to tourists and there is too much star power and Disney to compete with. I can’t believe how many people’s first Broadway show is BOM.

I’ve been a fan of Aubrey Plaza ever since seeing her in “Safety not Guaranteed” about a decade ago. I haven’t seen any of her later films. I’ve mainly kept up with her through guest appearances on YouTube. The early one’s are gold. The later one’s ones seem more of a schtickt. I was shocked to find out she is 39 and married. Damn Covid made us all jump in time. Don’t get me wrong she is gorgeous and still in her -ahem- prime. But I would have liked to see what the 31 year old pre celebrity A...

The doors open at 10 AM. If he did 10-noon that would be cutting it close. Oaks is in the western burbs. MM is usually in Cherry Hill which would be doable. They probably didn’t realize it moved. https://www.facebook.com/100063565148928/posts/pfbid0jnPxmmKKYWQHJ2phZ3UpKYrhhaymJFhhQDKA5NTiBVKNqaZkbaVvs7w1gGqzX3QCl/?mibextid=x4r0xg

WTF? No Sabbath’s Theater this weekend? Does he have a double? https://www.facebook.com/100063565148928/posts/pfbid02ZA868tSwKebC7PJZ5QXU8QJeDsvwQ845TvGwQCUgPWXr9eKxB5jQNmmp5G9saGcil/?mibextid=x4r0xg

Snagged a $229 center Dress Circle seat Saturday. Good luck finding one now.Have to say I concur with the reviews. I hated the Fiasco version. One of the worst things I’ve seen. This production is miraculous.

Rush tickets ($38) are ridiculously easy to get. No excuse not to see this. Thought the second act was a bit contrived but it’s always hard to stick the landing. Juliet is astonishing and incredibly fit for her age.

WldKingdomHM said: "So how long is Laurie on stage for ?"She’s in and out. Even when she’s on stage, she’s not necessarily a focus of the action. It’s an ensemble piece. I’d say Tatiana is the female lead. Even Sophia has a smaller role than expected. Colby Kipness stood out as “Squirrel”. She outcreeps SAC which is quite an accomplishment.

This is must see theater. Lorraine Hansberry turns her withering eye on the white bourgeoisie and eviscerates it. Yes it’s long and tickets are scarce and expensive but see it for your own good. Oscar Isaac may go overboard here and there. Rachel Brosnahan doesn’t really seem to be acting but seems to be playing herself (a struggling actress who has difficulty getting work). Curiously none of the actors got entrance applause. Miriam Silverman got exit applause in her last scene, as much for H...

I didn’t know you were allowed to have this much fun at Hamlet. The people next to me were discussing parallels between this and The Lion King. My comparison might be Beetlejuice with a touch of The Damned - or maybe Rocky Horror. If you sit front orchestra there is a chance of audience participation. They cut the gravedigger scene probably due to the layout of the set as well as brevity. Also it’s a very small cast with lots of doubling. A wig, glasses and a leather jacket are used to denote...

I don’t think so. There might be standby. There’s a few balcony seats available at $44.

They tend to be short runs. This will probably be a month give or take. I think that was the case with Cyrano. I wouldn’t sleep on it. The show I just saw at BAM was 4 performances.

RippedMan said: "I wouldn't expect to see any major changes given they've had, what, years to work on this?"I agree. I think the show is pretty well “fixed”. Maybe they could add a nude scene ala Hair.Expectations are the key here. I went in not expecting much and was entertained. The 2 leads here give star making performances. Solea has some tough competition from Julia Cassandra as Estrella. Chris Wood is perfect as Russell.The mother has 3 songs which is 1 song too many, but her 2nd act op...

Square Peg2 said: "Having never been to Armory, is anyone able to comment on the quality of Zone B tickets? They're all I'm able to afford at the moment and Today Tix doesn't mark on the map where they are. Is this the kind of theatre where it doesn't matter too much where you sit?"I got a rush ticket for Hamlet for $30. The seat was perfect- dead center of the orchestra row M. Since you are on Today Tix try the rush. My $49 Zone B for Oresteia ticket was only slightly worse (Row N a few seat...
