2018-2019 Excitment!

So which shows is everyone most looking forward to? What shows do you have tickets to? I'm really interested to see what everyone us excited for!



Personally: I have tickets to Burn This, Kiss Me Kate!, Alice By Heart and just got my ticket to see Sara and Gavin in Waitress :)

I have tickets for Cursed Child and Moulin Rouge, and I'm getting tickets to see Dear Evan Hansen again as a gift for a friend of mine! I have a lot of shows that I want to get tickets for, but I don't have specific ones I'm looking for at the moment.

I have tickets for The Prom next week, and am super excited.

I'm hoping to make it back to New York in February and June 2019. Not sure of the exact dates or how many slots I'll have, but here's some of what I'm thinking:

• Alice by Heart
• The Other Josh Cohen
• Octet at the Signature Theater
• The Scarlet Pimpernel concert
• Hadestown
• Oklahoma!
• The Ferryman

I may also try to do Kiss Me Kate and/or The Cher Show depending on timing.

Also, I know I'm late, but the Come From Away tour comes to San Francisco in January and I'm really excited to finally see it!

I travel a lot so it's hard for me to plan a lot of things ahead. So I'm hoping to take advantage of rush/lotteries/TKTS.

I do have tickets to Frozen though in February and will likely see American Son Play next week.

Also hoping to see:

Network

Hadestown

Tootsie

Wicked

Come From Away

The Lion King

Anastasia tour in Chicago (coincides with a conference I'm attending)

Mean Girls

The Cher Show

Also want to repeat Anastasia, Beautiful and Aladdin

I went a little overboard with my ticket buying, but am excited to have this thread to brag, haha.

So far (for this 2018-2019 Tony season, Broadway shows only) I've seen The Prom, Be More Chill (Off-Bway), King Kong, Torch Song, and American Son.

Coming up for Broadway, I have tickets to:
The Ferryman (This coming Sunday and excited is an understatement)
The Waverly Gallery (Next week)
Choir Boy (January)
Lifespan of a Fact (January)
Network (January)
To Kill a Mockingbird (January)
The Cher Show (January)
True West (January)
Kiss Me Kate (April)
Hadestown (April)
Tootsie (April)
Gary (April)
Hillary & Clinton (May)

And I plan to get tickets to Oklahoma, Burn This, and Beetlejuice... and probably King Lear. All My Sons is one of those shows I don't really have interest in, but if it's getting Tony buzz I'll definitely go.

From that list, I'm easily most excited about The Ferryman, Network, Hadestown, and Tootsie. Non-Broadway, I'm most excited about seeing Cynthia Erivo at Live From Lincoln Center this Thursday!

(And I forgot all about Alice By Heart... thanks for the reminder, thread!)

Just bought a ticket to Alice By Heart in February. I had completely forgotten about it until I read through this thread. I was getting a little concerned about seat choices so I decided to just grab one now.

• Choir Boy
• Fabulation
• Slave Play
• Gatz!
• Ferryman
• White Noise
• True West
• Oklahoma!
• What the Constitution Means to Me
• Bat Out of Hell
• Merrily We Roll Along
• Hadestown
• Moulin Rouge
• Origin of Love
• Kiss Me Kate
• Secret Life of Bees

This is awesome!

I live on the Left Coast, so thus far my entertainment excitement is confined to Southern California and Vegas. But.....

Hello, Dolly (4 times in January)

Elton John (in concert) (January)

Diana: A new Musical (April)

Paul McCartney (in concert) (June)

The Book of Mormon (June)

Hugh Jackman (in concert) (July)

Lady Gaga (in concert, Las Vegas) (November)

January 4 - 7 I’m seeing: - [ ] Torch Song - [ ] The Lifespan of a Fact - [ ] The Waverly Gallery - [ ] American Son - [ ] Be More Swing! - 54 Below ———————————————————

Plus either (Depending on which we can win lottery tickets for or which is available on TKTS):

[ ] Dear Evan Hansen or

[ ] Kinky Boots

I would’ve picked The Ferryman (since I’ve already seen KB & DEH), but my friend wasn’t up for a 3 hour play about the Irish. I’m secretly hoping we don’t win digital lottery for KB, but then do win for DEH or don’t win for either, but DEH pops up on 1/4 at TKTS. But I suspect we’ll see KB which is fine. I haven’t seen it since 2013 so it’ll be nice to revisit it before it closes even if it’s not my first choice. I’m also secretly entering digital lottery for Hamilton (it would be first time for my friend, but I’ve seen it 3x - once in 2015 on Broadway plus 2x in Chicago).

Honestly, I have considered that. Depending on how often DEH is appearing at TKTS the days leading up to 1/4/19, I might forgo the loser tickets and take our chances at TKTS. Any idea where loser tickets for KB tend to be located?

Usually extreme side orchestra, I think. The good part is you can pick them on Ticketmaster a day in advance.

The selling point for TKTS is they usually have better seats, since they are often premiums that didn't sell, so you're getting discounted regular price tickets that were being held as premium, as opposed to extreme side orchestra seats.

for my Apr trip I have:

BEETLEJUICE

HADESTOWN

OKLAHOMA!

looking ahead to the 2019-2020 season, in Jul I see MOULIN ROUGE! for my birthday weekend trip
