Jamie Lloyd Much Ado Broadway Transfer — Page 2

Previews for Evita start in February (rehearsals in January) so previews will probably start around Valentine's Day-ish? Either way, I think the timing will be too tight.

Yep, just my opinion considering the size of the theater and the timing of Evita.

Why? This production is excellent, one of Lloyd's best.

Hardest working does not equal quality of which he's sorely lacking. Much like Ivo and Sam Gold, the pedals are falling off the rose. If he didn't have stars, he would be seen as a vandal to classic works."

Completely agree and I doubt this extends, it won't need to."

Tom Hiddleston is a huge draw but ok lol"

Not so huge. Betrayal was on TDF regularly back in 2019."

But I would argue that Hiddleston is much more of a name since 2019 -- Loki happened after he was on Broadway with Betrayal.

Or the Rumors could be wrong and Evita would play the Majestic Theater instead.

Tom Hiddleston has been known to us, Marvel fans, as Loki since Thor, love. Ever since 2011.

yes as a side character, getting his own show elevated him quiet a bit

I can't find much about group sales and a few friends are quite excited - this is the first show I've planned this far in advance for in awhile. I hope it's as wonderful as the buzz suggests!"

It really is a blast! And the cast transferring is amazing, especially Mason Alexander Park.

I really wanted to see this. But I have low vision needs and the seats that they're holding for people with low vision disabilities are priced at premium levels. I will never understand how a wheelchair accessible seat is discounted, but somebody who cannot see does not receive any discount. The ableism and double standard is astounding and insulting and disgraceful. I was really desperate to see this one, but I can't afford to and I'm not going to spend over $100 to watch a blurry mess that gives me a headache after the first act. It has been really depressing since I've started losing my sight. The theater is not accessible for people with disabilities. I can't tell you how dehumanizing it is to call and sit on hold for an hour and deal with rude members of tele charges staff all to be told that in order to book a low vision seat you must be very wealthy. I guess they don't realize that most people with severe low vision needs deal with a higher cost of living and often struggle to make, and comparable income to others. Truly disgusting. So much for that affordability Jamie Lloyd loves to offer in London, I guess

This is *not* acceptable at all, and I am so sorry you had to try booking and ended up feeling this way. I took my parents who were differently abled to a few shows and every one had accessible seats at the base price - if not discounted - held back we were able to purchase. (Granted I did each transaction at the box office.)

DM'ing you this evening with some folks I'd suggest you reach out to if you're comfortable doing so. And I will stop by the Winter Garden this weekend when I'm in town to also ask.

Also, just want to add - I shouldn't have said "discounted". To me, having a prime seat in the first few rows at the base (lowest) price is a discount. I don't expect more than that. But it's lovely when they do that (like Signature Theatre, where all tickets are $40 for someone in my shoes.)
