Debra Messing, Birthday Candles

Is anyone else excited for this?? I don't really know much, but I'm excited to see another SMASH cast member on Broadway!

Debra has incredible range and a sharp sense of characterization so it’ll be implied. Michaela Diamond plays a tricycle riding toddler nightly in THE CHER SHOW and quite successfully so I’m sure Debra could even do an entire Act as a 17 year old if needed.

Having witnessed as well as heard stories of her being rude to people at the stage door, I'm pretty put off by her in general and really wouldn't pay to see her unless it turns out to be an exceptional night of theatre.

I don’t think it’s fair to judge her by her behavior at the stage door, unless she did something blatantly offensive. Not every actor is good at putting on a smile for strangers, nor does she owe anything to the people clambering for her attention. It’s comments like this that give ammuniation to people who find stage-dooring objectionable (though I don’t personally).

Did anyone else get a presale code for this show yesterday?

I got the hiptix code, but by the time I logged in it was already sold out."

That's odd because when I used this code it worked for me...PRES204L

Access10 for the first 4 performances right now. $10

Oh my gosh thank you so much for the ACCESS10 tip!! I’ve never tried those because I always thought they’d sell out SO quickly but there was still availability for this show! Thank you!!

Rear mezz is great in this theatre, the last row of the rear mezz would usually be classified as the regular mezzanine at any other theatre.

I also got ACCESS10 tickets to this. Excited to see Messing on stage and it sounds interesting.

Once again I had major difficulty getting the access10 tickets. It seems every time they do something to make it different.

This time I started refreshing my browser at 9:58 and did it every ten seconds or so. Finally around 10:04am I tweeted Roundabout asking when they went on sale. They replied (quickly, I'll give them) and told me noon. Around ten minutes later I refreshed the browser again and they were on sale. I was able to grab seats so no harm there, but they gave me false information. I replied again and said so and they replied they would just delete the tweet with incorrect information.

For Rose Tattoo months ago they had a new code on their site (something like 1ACCESS101TIX) and after trying for 10 minutes it wasn't working. Then when it finally let me add seats to my cart it instantly said they were gone. I gave up and bought a HipTix for later in the run. When I reached out on twitter then they said that code was wrong and to use the usual one. That worked and they were nice enough to refund my HipTix because I sent them a screenshot of the incorrect code on their own site, causing me to spend more than planned.

It's a GREAT thing they do, selling as many $10 tickets as they do. I shouldn't complain, but it seems to happen with every show I've purchased in the past couple of years. Changing the day, the time, the system, the code, etc.
