" In theory, you are correct, but as its been said, because this is at the Museum, they have an unorthodox schedule."
Conservative, even?

Bwahahaha....what a mensch!
(I had a similar thought when writing!)
If we're not having fun, then why are we doing it?

I'm looking at tickets for a Thursday matinee in October, and everything left is on the far right, far left, or in the back center. Will I miss anything if I get a front seat that's off to the far sides?

Posted: 9/10/18 at 10:39pmNo, I dont think so, the house isnt terribly wide, not would there be anything obstructing your view. As far as sitting in the back, this isnt a very large theater- so I wouldn't worry about that.

I paid full price for 2 seats Row J center on 10/21/18 and sadly can't use them. Is anyone interested?

Posted: 10/17/18 at 1:33pmThis got extended again until December 30. I noticed their performance schedule is odd though. They have a week with no performances, some weeks with only 3/4 shows and most weeks only have 6/7 shows. Curious what the cast is getting paid?
A Chorus Line revival played its final Broadway performance on August 17, 2008. The tour played its final performance on August 21, 2011. A new non-equity tour started in October 2012 played its final performance on March 23, 2013. Another non-equity tour launched on January 20, 2018. The tour ended its US run in Kansas City and then toured throughout Japan August & September 2018.

Oy. If this is true that is very sad news.

Would you explain why? Is it because it’s unlikely to succeed there from a financial perspective, or is there another reason or reasons.

I've never been in this theater, and don't know enough about it to understand why this would be a bad choice for this production. Is it too small for its size for this FIDDLER to be profitable? Unappealing generally in some other ways?

Posted: 11/9/18 at 3:19pmIt actually has 499 seats, one short of being a Broadway theater. It doesn’t have a great track record of successful shows. The only thing I’ve seen there is Trip of Love. Nuff said.

Posted: 11/9/18 at 3:23pmIt’s also going from a concert hall setting to a legit theater, so wonder if the production will be “enhanced” in any way? Kind of wish they had chosen one of the Theatre Row theaters instead.

Stage 42 is a Theatre Row theatre.

I think CT2NYC meant a theater in the actual Tbeatre Row building.

Based on clips I've seen, I would hope so as well as they'll have a much bigger stage to fill. I like Stage 42 even if it's usually home to flops. It's a comfortable venue with good sightlines even if it feels more like a movie theater. Trip of Love looked cheap in there but after seeing the Smokey Joe's Cafe set, I think it could be the home of a more legitimate production.

I wish this Fiddler well. I haven’t seen it but plan to. There is nothing “wrong” with Stage 42. I understand Fiddler is coming from a smaller venue but I assume the Producers couldn’t afford to go all the way to Broadway so they settled for the largest size Off Broadway house to try and turn a profit, which is harder to do in a smaller Off Broadway house, plus it’s midtown and near many restaurants and theatre row.
Oh, yes, please leave Trip of Love alone! It’s gone now. It entertained many for nearly a year (about 10 months)- longest show at Stage 42, I believe. Employed actors, stage managers and staff. That’s a good thing. Also, kept that theatre lit which is better for the neighborhood than months of seeing a dark theatre with gates down and “See a Show Just for the Fun of It” on a marquee.
Slow curtain. The end.
