Posted: 3/4/19 at 5:01pmHow do some shows have more than 100% capacity? Like for instance Hamilton has 101.75% capacity for last week. How can you have more than 100% capacity? Also it seem like BMC has dropped each week in avg ticket price as well as capacity. Is this normal for a successful show?

If a show is over 100% capacity, the extra percentage includes standing room. As for your other question... not really.

Posted: 3/4/19 at 5:06pmStanding Room causes that.

I'm really dying to see this show but there are also quite a few others I'd like to see - what seem to be the best cheap seats to come by? I'm thinking TKTS since it is up there pretty frequently

This could be the result of die hard fans getting their tickets for the first week or two, as well as the ups and downs of the calendar. Last week was a tough week for many shows. Look for things to generally be better for most shows as the weather gets better and as we get closer to summer.

Posted: 3/5/19 at 1:49pmIf I was in marketing in BMC, I would also do some advertising in other major cities where parents might be likely to take their kids to NYC for summer trip (spring break too, but it might be a little late for that). Even advertising in airline magazines (or if the PR dept could get articles written in airline magazines, those parents who read those, can afford to take their kids to MYC and spend money on Broadway tickets. I would target American, United, Delta and Southwest.. Also, some advertising in the airline airport clubs could be helpful, because the wealthiest airline travelers frequent those clubs. Advertising with high end hotels like Marriott, Sheraton, and Hilton, Ritz Carlton and Four Seasons could be helpful.

Posted: 3/5/19 at 1:52pmI would start with marketing to Delta and United since they have major hubs in the NYC area, and can bring lots of customers to the area.

Yes, I'm quite sure you're the first person in the history of theatrical producing and marketing to come up with these ideas!

Why the sass? Are you working on (failing) the BMC marketing campaign?

Anyone know if George is still out? I have heard great things about Troy and kind of want to try and see it with him if I can

Posted: 3/5/19 at 3:17pmYou’re the one who made a sarcastic response to my suggestion. No, I don’t work in their marketing dept. I’m just hoping the show succeeds! As I hope all Broadway shows succeed. Why be negative and nasty when people are trying to be helpful?

Okay, so I just made an account because I have this specific question about this show.
I'm going to be in NYC pretty soon for a theater trip and I get to pick 2 shows I want to see. (We are already seeing The Prom and a few others on and off broadway.)
I listened to BMC around 2 years ago, and couldn't really get on board with it. Michael in the Bathroom is the only song I'm head over heels for. However, its been getting so much hype lately that I'm wondering if I should give it a second chance. As someone who does not get the chance to go to NYC often, it's really special for me to be able to see shows that are in a new season.
How much changed from its off-broadway run to its Broadway run? Should I take a chance on it?

What hype have you heard? If the hype is wonderful, see the show.

Posted: 3/5/19 at 11:39pmI guess it depends on what else you might be interested in seeing. Personally, this isnt on my list of things to see....but my students chose it. Maybe I'll be surprised.

I just mean the general online excitement for it. The people I personally know who like it are all below the age of 18. But I don't think that the cast recording is the greatest thing ever. I just wondered if there might be something I'm missing...or maybe I'm just getting old.

Posted: 3/6/19 at 12:50amI saw this tonight. Personally, I detested every second of it. I felt like it was written by 13 year olds who had no idea how to write. I fully realize that being over the age of 15, I’m not this shows target audience, but damn. That was truly terrible.

Posted: 3/6/19 at 1:34pmI’ve always wondered this question. When a reviewer sees a show, does she or he see it multiple times before writing the review? I mean after I see a show once, I can always say whether I liked it or not and usually there is a main reason why I liked or didn’t like it. But I have a hard time recounting all the plot points that one usually reads in a professional review. It seems that the reviewer must see a show multiple times before writing a review, because they are always filled with so much information that I would find difficult to retain on just one viewing of a show. Is that right that a reviewer would see a show multiple times before writing the review? Or are they extraordianlriy smart, being able to remember a lot more than I ever do after seeing a show?

Posted: 3/6/19 at 1:36pmThey also bring notepads and jot things down during the show. Always makes me think they should get pens with glow in the dark ink . :)

Critics are invited to see the production once, and they typically make notes during the show (as stated above). However, they also receive a comprehensive information packet from the production, which typically includes a full script.
