GUYS & DOLLS, SPIDER WOMAN & Block in SUNSET BLVD at the Kennedy Center — Page 2

I'm a bit confused on how their subscription works.I only see a handful of shows listed in the subscription. Will I unlock the ability to buy tickets to this if I get a season subscription?

They list these as Semi-staged.  For context, here are some Kennedy Center clips from past "Semi-Staged" shows from this series

They are more than a concert, but are not fully staged.  The actors do sometimes have scripts with them (usually disguised) since rehearsal time is fairly limited.

We had a partial subscription to the Kennedy Center a few years ago where we got to pick and choose the shows we wanted to see from the whole series.  They may have that as an option down the line after they get the initial push from these full subscriptions.  Tickets to single events go on sale to members before they open them to the public as well.

Stephanie just posted a STUNNING video (mostly the theatre) of her singing As I We Never Said Goodbye - from an upcoming concert she is doing.  She sounds amazing! 

Giving Betty Buckley Vibes!


Didn't think too much about linking to Instagram, but here you go.

She sounds great. I’ll be honest though, it’s always such a letdown (for me) when whoever is playing Norma doesn’t hold the note on the word “home”. But I can’t wait to see her in this. Anyone know when tickets go on sale?

They have an offer out to Beanie Feldstein.

I hope we don't get a lot of forced affectations/flourishes in Norma's big numbers, something some who have played the role have seem compelled to add.  Just sing the song and let the lyrics and music work their magic. It's a fine line between the natural melodrama of the character and over-the-top caricature.

I don't believe you can subscribe to just the Broadway Center Stage productions; rather you can add them to the KC theater subscription package and be guaranteed seats.

Well this sealed the deal for a trip to DC.

That is grade-A casting. Wow. 

I hate that I feel like JMI has been sleepwalking his time on stage since the day after he won the Tony for Aladdin. I want to be more excited but the shoes of Nathan Lane are still nowhere close to being filled for me. 

 

I'm in the queue in the waiting room, but it currently is paused.
