What do you thinks going on?  Emerald sick of being a yes-man for Andrew, refusing to make more of his ill-advised changes?  Did he even tell her she was being replaced?  Anyway, I'm sure it has to do somewhat with Andrew's control issues...

Surprised to hear people are actually interested in seeing this. Or is everyone just wanted to see what a disaster this may be(i.e. Diana, Scandalous).

Is it so shocking that not everyone agrees with you, or that not everyone is salivating for a "disaster"? Who are you, Michael Riedel?

you can criticize the marketing, criticize ALW, but we all love to conveniently forget the show got good reviews in London.

It’s not a direct transfer of the London production though. They’ve changed the title, revamped the marketing and hired a new book writer. The show that opens at the Imperial could be vastly different than the one that got good reviews in London and it’s all because of one bad review in the Post that infuriated Andrew.

Except for Andrew's work, every other member of that creative team fell down. Especially the director, who should be replaced.  I am sure Emerald could have done WAY better if her hands weren't so evidently tied by Andrew's ego and his inability to recognize that he has no sense of dramaturgy WHATSOEVER!

Imagine someone actually thinking that every single person thinks like them or is interested in the same exact things. Imagine.

I've been hesitant to ask this question given the dislike some on this thread have for this show and/or ALW, but since the thread is back on the front page,...

I do plan on seeing this show.  In looking for tickets, I've noticed something odd.  The entire center orchesta,  together with the first two to for seats from the aisle on the sides  back to Row J or so seems to be  consistenty "unavailable" , with the exception of an "island" of premium seats in row B.   Even with my positive feelings for the show, I doubt all those seats are sold, particularly in such a consistent pattern.  Is there a reason seats may be being held for sale?

My first thought was some rows, particularly near the front, may be held while they figure out what (if anything) they are going to do to replicate the London scenic design. However, they would not need to block off THAT many rows, and there is still the question of the seats available in Row B.

My guess is these seats are being held for group tours, or potentially have been sold to groups (they'd be marked unavailable either way).  Could there be some other reason?  If they are being held for groups, when are such seats typically realesed for general sale?

It is odd, and there appears to be something similar going on with The Collaboration.

My experience is that they seem to typically hold off on selling the prime seats (center orchestra).  I remember when tickets went on sale for the Sunset revival the same thing happening the closest to stage with row O center orchestra (which I purchased)  I'm sure there's some marketing thing that figures months out advance sales are the die-hards who want to be there while the closer to the date they want to make it more appealing when people are on the fence trying to decide what to see and hearing "they have great seats - third row center orchestra" to seal the deal

Does anyone plan on seeing the first preview next Friday?

Me! Front mezz tickets were less than $100 on TodayTix a few weeks ago, so I snagged some. I've been SUPER curious about this show because the marketing does not match what I know of the West End show.

I'm going a couple weeks before opening, and I can't wait to see this. I really enjoy the London cast album. I'm looking forward to seeing what changes have been for Broadway.

Per Linedy on Insta, this will have an 18-piece orchestra. Nice to see some shows with bigger bands this year, between this, SOME LIKE IT HOT (17), NEW YORK, NY (19), SWEENEY (26), WOODS (15), CAMELOT (30), and hopefully PARADE (24 at Encores but tba for Broadway).

Wow! Great news! If I recall correctly, the West End production had a very small orchestra.

Be honest here guys - how many people have already written their scathing “reviews” and are ready to post them on Friday night? Because it seems like it’s a pretty big number.

I'm pretty sure West End had 9 or 10 for their "band" (not going to call that an orchestra :) ) So 18 will have a completely different sound.

Cant wait!  I got one of those 39 dollar tickets in the rear mezz for the end of feb.

Not me. I like the album well enough. Just waiting to see a song list to gauge how much has changed. Have they announced the design team? I missed that announcement if they did.

Have we seen anything of the physical design yet? The West End version just looked so damn cheap. 

[rabymon10]

Posted: 2/9/23 at 11:32pm

Sets and costumes are likely to be gorgeous with Gabriela (Australian Love Never Dies, and POTO on Sydney Harbour) behind them. It's the Laurence Connor part that would make them redundant or of bad taste.

Well they certainly weren’t ‘gorgeous’ in London and she designed that too.

There is no way they will have improved this show for Broadway. ALW is incapable of seeing the real issues (score, lyrics) and instead fires people around him.

The production released another single this morning. Gotta say, I love the new arrangements. The show is certainly growing on me.
