Profile for backwoodsbarbie

I was in the mezzanine at the booth last Thursday. I called 311 to report it and they told me that I couldn’t do anything until I had symptoms and then I should call my healthcare provider.

I think there's also the idea that if we close now it may be short term if the virus can be controlled. If they wait too long, closings might have to be much longer. I feel the same way about school closing.

It's a shame that our fearless leader has no plans to close schools.

Should I be concerned??"Everyone on the planet should be concerned, regardless if they were at the Booth on Saturday night or not."Yes of course. I just meant should I be thinking about getting tested since I was at that theater and was sitting the mezzanine that night."I'm right there with you. I was in the Mezzanine last Thursday. I don't have any symptoms so I am just waiting it out.

Rudeness like that is uncalled for. I am genuinely concerned if in fact I did come into contact with this person.

I was at the Booth last Thursday and I wish I could know which section they worked.

Did Michael Bennett have issues with the creative team on Company and/or Dream Girls? I feel like I remember hearing that.

I am currently choreographing a production of The Wizard of Oz and after a few spats among the creative team, I began wondering if there are any famous examples of feuds or bad blood between collaborators in musical theatre history. I know about Patti LuPone's issues with Webber and such but I'm wondering more specifically about choreographers arguing with directors, etc.

I'm not sure if this is technically a discount but the last time she did a Broadway run (3 years ago?) there were tickets on TodayTix beginning in the $50-60 range.

"Best" is certainly a relative term, but I am partial to the vocal stylings of Jason Robert Brown.

I saw Frozen last night and wild behavior from kids would have been expected, but the atrocious behavior I witnessed was from a middle aged woman. She sat directly in front of me and was told not once, but 6 times by ushers to stop taking pictures. She was even removed temporarily during act I to delete the photos. It continued during act II and when she wasn't taking photos, she was checking texts and facebook. When I asked her to please put it away because it was distracting me, she replied...

Is there a list somewhere of who who performs the lead roles in each show? I haven't seen one on their website, but I want to see Sara Mearns.

I'm also considering attending. Do most of the nominees attend? Also, what is the appropriate attire?

Were there any major technical glitches or stoppages last night? I usually hesitate to go early in previews for those reasons, but I'm looking to buy a resale ticket for tonight.

Peter Marks is the best theatre critic writing today, in my opinion. deltatee said: "Great review from the Washington Post. "

I decided to wait it out last night with Stubhub. Prices started dropping around 6:45 for an 8:00 show. I finally purchased a single ticket around 7:40. It was originally marked at $250 on Stubhub and I paid $125 with fees. It was second row orchestra and the face value was $189. Stubhub is a decent option if you can be in midtown about an hour before curtain.

I saw the Saturday night performances and it was my first real experience with the show. I can't help but think this piece must have inspired Ryan Murphy for AHS: Hotel. Lady Gaga's character reminds me so much of Norma and that eerie quality of the house as well. I would love to see Lady gaga play Norma Desmond in about 20 years.

I just came home from the benefit and I wanted to report back on the performances.-Tituss Burgess: gospel song he sang with Mary in India on one of the ASTEP trips-Debra Monk: Everybody's Girl-Sierra Boggess: I Have Confidence-Jon Groff and Kristin Chenoweth were unable to perform (they sent video messages)-Raul Esparza & Melissa Errico: Move On-Susan Blackwell was the auctioneer. The action items: $2,000 for an original song by Mary, $800 for a pair of tickets to Hello Dolly and lunch with D...
