Yes, Groff was great. Or is the Bowl too large of a venue for a show like this? Or possibly I'm not a raving Sondheim fan. All the songs sounded alike and sort of 'thin' as others have mentioned.Truly amazing how rude the audience can be -- lots of people facebooking or checking their phones during the show. Rude to fellow audience members and to the performers even if they can't see you.

I watched and loved Monday's live streaming of the Hillary benefit.Is it available to watch again or buy (as a donation)? Thanks!

I recently discovered and am loving 'Behind The Curtain'. The hosts are very enthusiastic and entertaining. I always have homework after and have a list of YouTube videos they've suggested or mentioned which I need to watch. Wish I had more time to get caught up and listen to all their shows.

I was in NY for work for about 10 weeks starting mid-February. I entered the digital lottery almost every day. Sometimes for two tickets, sometimes for one.Like every other day, I entered the digital lottery Friday morning, the day before I was flying home. I didn't even think about it during the day and instead had decided to go to a classical concert instead for my last night in NY.I truly had forgotten that Hamilton was still a possibility that night, but when I opened my email at about 4:...

I loved this! The music, the chorus, the dancers and of course the leads’ voices were great. I couldn’t understand most of what they said, but it didn’t matter. I’m glad I saw this.

I 'rushed' successfully and easily two Saturdays ago. Arrived at the box office at about 10:05 - it opened at 10:00. Waited in line about five minutes.The evening show had just sold out of rush tickets but I bought a single $30 rush ticket for the matinee. It was in the front row -- which might be where all the rush seats are. You definitely will be looking up the whole time and might miss some action on the top floor (but since I don't know what I missed, I didn't mind it).For what it's wort...

Smart idea to read the synopses. And I am glad to hear they are costumes and dancing. Amazing what they do for just a two night event. (I guess I'm a bit of a philistine because the ninety-minute running time is also a plus vs. three hours at La Boheme.)Now I'm really looking forward to it.Thanks for the comments!

I know nothing about opera but love this cast. I'm in NY for another week -- should I see this or La Boheme?I watched a clip of and I'm worried I might need subtitles. (Yes -- English is my native language.)Any thoughts?
