Brendon Urie in KINKY BOOTS - Reports — Page 3

bwayphreak234 said: "Well, I need Tylenol after tonight's performance of Kinky Boots. The audience at the Al Hirschfeld tonight was one of the worst audiences I have ever been a part of. They acted like they were at a rock concert or sporting event. Screaming and shouting, taking pictures, talking, getting up and down as they pleased. It did not help that the ushers were not very attentive at all. However, that being said, the show is in even better shape than it was when it first opened. Brendon Urie is fantastic, and his voice is absolutely perfect for the character of Charlie. Everyone else in the cast was all on their A game. It's great to see a long running show that holds up and still feels polished. It's just a shame that the audience is freaking zoo.

I take it the crowd is very young then...teenagers > early 20's?

Funnily enough, the worst offenders the night I was there were a bunch of middle aged women who were white wine drunk the whole time.

Here's two observations I noticed when walking by the theater yesterday. At around 5:30pm I noticed a line had formed outside of the theater. Curious, I decided to ask and was told by someone it was the SRO line, though the show wasn't sold-out yet, they decided to form a line with the hope that SRO would eventually get sold. On my way back home, I walked by the theater around 9:00pm and noticed a swarm of Urie fans(~100 people) at the stage door all holding Panic at the Disco merch. The security guard wasn't happy with this crowd. he had to repeatedly tell them that the show wasn't ending until 10:30 and to stop fighting for a better spot around the barricades and that if things didn't calm down, the cops were coming. Maybe it's a good thing I couldn't make it to see the show this week.

That's probably my least favorite song in the show, but he does a fab job with it.

I stopped by the stage door tonight after seeing and stage dooring DEH (I won the lottery, it was only my 3rd time entering) and it was insane. The crowd was almost by the theatre entrance, and there was another crowd on the side of the street. Im excited to to see him in 2 weeks!

Brendon does NOT stage door Matinees. I was devastated when I found out and actually broke down because i had spent the money to see him and the ushers before the show said he would be coming out as did the picture evidence online.

ALSO Sarah comes to visit (which is why we didn't wait till night to stage door) HE DOES NOT STAGE DOOR. AT ALL. So be warned, it's basically a night show exclusive and still a 50-50 chance.

This was on 6-28-17

Are the crowds still insane as previously discussed at the stage door or have they lessened in the amount of people? I am going next weekend to an evening show and bringing my niece. This is her first trip to NYC and her first Broadway show and was hoping to get Brendon's autograph at the stage door after the show. Any suggestions?

Are they still selling limited edition Kinky Boots Brendon Urie t-shirts? If so, do they still only have 100 per show? Are they still only available on the second level of the Al Hirschfeld Theatre?

Sorry for all the questions. I am going to the show the end of this week and I'm just trying to come up with a game plan for the best chance of getting one of these shirts.

Thanks!

So, he's leaving in a week. Yet they haven't announced a replacement. What's going on with that?

Also wondering why they haven't announced his replacement.

Todrick Hall was orginally plannned to return. But now I believe Billy and Stark are returning.

It's been rumored since the springtime that Billy would return to the show for 12 or 16 weeks and tie things up on or around January 14, 2018. Whether it closes remains to be seen. It's been running for over 4 years now and while it's doing quite well right now, the winter has been ugly for them. The tour is going non-union as well, which may be saying that everyone who is going to see it has seen it.

Billy and Stark were both incredible, and both were recognized by the Tonys. NEITHER one them was forgettable. So ridiculous.



I bought tickets for this show back when I did not know who Charlie would be earlier this year. A few nights ago I saw it. The audience? They were absolutely horrendous. The girl who was on the inside of my row (I was on the aisle) left her seat FOUR times. She stood in the aisle and hovered after every time....did she think she was at a goddamn rock concert? They were horrible, and when I walked past the stage door, the rudeness of people, the pushing, the swearing, the awfulness of it? Even worse than the DEH stagedoor. The next day he tweeted he is out, so I totally understand and support his decision. I am so happy those rude fans will no longer get to meet him. They don't deserve it. He was a good Charlie, not great. The ushers need to do their actual jobs, because it's really awful for people who actually respect the theater.
