KIMBERLY AKIMBO Previews — Page 9

Have they been having good day of sales, alot of rush etc?"

I must admit, while not exactly healthy I do think they seem to have moved more seats after starting performances vs before so I wonder if word of mouth is picking up a bit + last-minute sales do seem to be helping. Plus they still have the opportunity of good reviews etc. Not sure how expensive the show would be to run and if it's going to be enough, but I'm hoping this becomes 'a little show that could' success story!

I was at the preview on Wednesday night and can't stop thinking about it. It's really quite moving and I think Jeanine Tesori has a gorgeous score on her hands. Victoria Clark's performance is so brilliant, especially with her second act material. The "Ghost of the Girl I'll Never Be" song broke me. Bonnie Milligan is fantastic and I'm so excited to see where awards season will take her. It's a smaller show but I really think this is a very important piece of theater and I think this is a great show for all Broadway audiences. It was incredibly special being in the Booth Theatre considering it's history as well as Clark's history with making her Broadway debut there. I laughed my ass off and cried my eyes out. Go see it while you can!

Saw this at the Atlantic last winter. Thought it was a good, if slight, musical. The performances elevated the material. Debating about seeing it again - has much (if anything) changed between the Atlantic and the Booth?

I’m tall and my seat mate is fairly tall too. How tall is the stage? My preference is to be as close to the stage as possible, but only if stage height and seat angle isn’t obstructed.

I sawThe Boys in the Bandfrom outer seatRIGHT ORCHESTRA Row B, Seat 14 at The Booth & it was slightly obstructed (missed shower scene).

So any guidance on preferred seating/rows as well as preferred right or left orchestra is greatly appreciated.


Another option is all of Center Mezzanine Row F."

I sat second row center orchestra, and I thought that was just fine. I also like to be close, so even though I feel like the perspective for things in the back of the stage is a little skewed, especially when the set is Kimberly's home.

I would suggest sitting on the right side of the theatre because it will give you a better view into Kimberly's room. Not a lot happens there, but it would be nice to see into it.

I sat in row AA and had to look up but the stage wasn’t that high and I’d gladly sit there again. I also recommend the right side so you don’t miss Justin Cooley in his ice skating rink cashier office which is on the left. I would go with right side orch over mezzanine.

Heard Victoria is very hit or miss and that Steve Boyer is outright telling people no on certain nights lately?
I wouldn't be surprised if it is similar to what is mentioned in the Funny Girl thread, about actors not being allowed due to the continued risk of catching Covid. If they do, they are out, and it effects the box office.

"

I stagedoored after the Wednesday matinee last week (which I know is probably the worst time to try), but got signatures from Steven, Bonnie, and all four of the high schoolers. Vicki, Justin, and Alli did not come out.

I took a look at the next few weeks on telecharge tonight and the sales for the week of Christmas are non-exisistant, this is turning out to be a real bummer

I don’t know if you have to get fix in advance or can wait. We did in person rush and were in the first row center mezz; our friends got 10th row center on the orch.

I suspect that, even with excellent reviews, this will be a hard sell and, if it is still open, I would expect that great rush seats will still be available.

Talk about bad (more specifically, insufficient) advertising: this is a show I want to see and I hadn’t realized it had started previews until I saw this thread! & Juliet and Some Like It Hot, on the other hand, are all over the place!

ETA: as soon as I made this post, I started seeing ads popping up everywhere and even heard one on the radio- good job, advertisers 😂

Too many to count. Kim actually makes her parents put money in the "swear jar" because of it.

There are four male cast members. Fernell, Michael, Justin and Steven. I hope they are okay, perhaps resting for opening tomorrow.

Was the press moved? There would have been 2 press performances today.

Nobody who's okay and just wants to rest takes off a performance the night before opening (a crucial press night), when the opening is above all a formality. Covid and other illnesses are making their way through many a New York company right now.
