Cats: The Jellicle Ball to Broadway — Page 8

The negativity and rampant b!tchiness drives me away from this board. I don't read it or post here nearly as often as I used to because there are so many Michael Riedel types who are just gleefully mean to other members and to shows.

Why can't you just accept information and process it? Why the attacks? I don't get it. You want information but you reject it without any basis for your rejection.
 

I don't need or care about any of your information. And as always, you are missing the point that many people have pointed out: You are having conversations with yourself and then deleting them. And then you quote these long ass arguments with yourself for days. It's ridiculous to scroll through arguments you are having....with yourself.  And calling us snowflakes is quite the tell. Perhaps ask yourself: Why do I need to have conversations with myself for months at a time on a public message board? It's odd you have never answered this question, here or in your own head.

The mods love to delete a post that “isn’t on topic” or includes even a reference to an incendiary accusation (no matter how substantiated), but we still have to deal with BroadwayFlash creating a new profile every five minutes? 

I’ll never understand. 

This is literally about you. Just an FYI.

How different are the orchestrations from the original ?

I'm seeing it in April and would like to know what to expect. thanx"

They were like... 90% the original orchestrations. I think for Broadway they're increasing the House Beats into the score, but I'm not sure by how much...

all the advance videos will give an idea of the sound of the show

pretty much the same, but with a layer of house beats over top to feel more Ballroom

i'm pretty excited to revisit this production again, and am hoping that there will be a new cast recording

I really want to buy a ticket, but these prices are ridiculous especially when you can see this show is clearly not selling, most dates I see see the same holds and way too much of the theatre is at $250+.

They know that once word of mouth kicks in again they can sell at high costs. It'll be the talked about revival come April/May.

I got tickets to this early - before seating design was created. I hope I made the right choice. I a now what looks like to be in the first row of the Orchestra. Will I miss everything by looking up the whole time? Looks like on stage seating is well sold the date I am going. What to do? It pains me to spend money on theater tickets that are expensive with an obstructed view."

I think you might miss the footwork and the drops and pliés that happen on the runway. But probably no problem seeing the upper body stuff. The thing about downtown was that even the lowest level seat could still see the runway floor. That won’t be able to happen now. 

Circle in the Square would have been the best for this.

I would contact Telecharge to see if they will let you move seats

So I was FaceTiming a friend who just so happened to be walking past the Broadhurst theatre and he some how managed to show me some the new costumes which are being loaded in, and I gotta say the costumes look even better than they did at the Perelman, I think it’s safe to say this already has Best Revival, Choreography, Costume Design, and maybe scenic design already locked in for the Tony’s

Unless the producers are holding back many cheaper seats until the days before a performance to encourage buying of expensive seats, this is looking well sold for the first ten days. 

“Beast featured actor is 100 percent a lock“

For Andre playing himself? Or Sidney as Tugger? 

Yes Mason was wonderful. 

I won’t be surprised if Emma Sofia is nominated. Skimbleshanks was otherworldly.

I did see her in the role on another night and she was extraordinary. Just when you think the night can’t get better, it does.
