FUNNY GIRL on Broadway - Reviews & News Thread — Page 83

Haven't dropped into this thread for a long while. Nice to see nothing has changed,

Sheridan Smith in the 2010 London production of LEGALLY BLONDE:

Why wait? Try to get a refund now. Many have been successful on getting refunds on their previously purchased tickets.

tthomas76 said: "I did. They have been awful to work with. They told me their whole line about after April 30th. I have sold four of my 7 so far on the resale thing on SeatGeek but the other 3 so far haven’t. "

They are truly awful. Had to cancel a trip (after April 30) and got full refunds for other shows that don’t use SeatGeek with zero issues. Jujamcyn won’t let SeatGeek refund. I’m surprised and happy for you that you sold your tickets on SeatGeek because I was forced to price mine higher than face and higher than the box office, which suddenly had tons of seats left. Ended up taking a major loss on stub hub. Good luck with the rest of your tickets!!

After a horrendous experience with TM with Darren Criss' Christmas show, I opted to skip SeatGeek and went to Jujamcyn, found their customer service email, and explained my case. They went ahead and refunded one of our tickets. (My guess is because we bought good seats and that single could resell at a higher rate, but I didn't ask.)"

I did the same. No luck for me (I also had great seats but I had a pair not a single). They really didn’t sell as well as they made it appear - lots of box office seats were held back at least for shows after April - so they were trying to sell what they were sitting on rather than taking back more, and mine only sold on stubhub because I took a $100 loss per ticket. 😡

Thanks!! Yes, I was lucky selling the four. They were on the side. The 3 I have left are in mid center orchestra on the aisle and great seats. I HATE that SeatGeek won’t let me offer the tickets for a lower cost. That’s complete BS. I also listed them on Stubhub and figure I’ll end up taking a loss. I was hoping that because it’s the Saturday 8pm show during the holiday weekend I might stand a chance. So far no.

If you have a chance go today - Don't miss her - Julie Benko is the ''greater star''

Going on Friday, June 3 - kinda hoping I get to see Benko!

The story of is she in/isn't she in seemed to never stop. This all seems eerily familiar. "

She had missed two unannounced performances. Jumping the gun a little bit there."

LOL - she was out for the last weekend in April 29 - May 1 yea for a friend's wedding...now 3 weeks later out for this weekend so far last night and both shows today for whatever reason???

Auggie27 said: "That’s 3 back to back. Isn’t the logical reason a positive Covid test? It’s running through Broadway again. If the Sunday matinee is number 4, we’ll know more.

FG is not on TKTS tonight."

It’s not COVID as if it was, Equity requires an immediate announcement must be issued as it’s a mandatory 10 day quarantine which means she’d be out and ticket buyers need to be made aware she’s not in the show.

I thought the AEA stipulation applied to the prior era, when vax status of the company alerts were consistent with the audience entrance requirement, now curtailed. But it makes sense for it to continue. It’s been confusing since NYC regulations and Broadway’s do not always line up; audiences still must mask but the city doesn’t require it as policy elsewhere.


So thanks. Feldstein’s cancellations on a day of performance basis do not seem Covid related.

Julie Benko is on again tomorrow per her IG.

Julie again tomorrow. I'm assuming it's not COVID, if they're informing the understudy on a performance-by-performance basis."

Also, Julie is Beanie’s standby, not understudy. She isn’t in the show. She only performs the role of Fanny Brice when Beanie is out. Standbys generally only get a few hours notice unless it’s a scheduled run (Beanie on a scheduled vacation, etc).
