Mr. Saturday Night — Page 4

It was just about 2 hours, 40 minutes last Thursday.

Won two lottery seats for tonight (Saturday, 5/21), and turns out, I thought my friend wanted to go and... he does not, so on the fence whether to drive in and go for it, or try and sell the pair and come solo some other time. So if anyone is willing to buy them for the $100 I paid, I will transfer them to you as soon as they show up. The only catch, by the time I know where the seats are, I will have already caved and drove in to NYC myself. So you need to pay before you know where they are. By the time I know the seats, I'll be in NYC, unless someone buys them.

We might have to move our tickets from tonight to August due to a medical issue. Any cast changes/outages between now and then? Also might just move to a weekday but husband prefers a weekend night.

If it matters to you, Shoshana Bean is out tonight (and the rest of the week) due to COVID, so if you were wanting to catch her it would be better to move."

Thank you!! I would have been a bit sad about that insert for sure.

Someone I know got to see Tatiana Wechsler in her Broadway debut, and from what I hear, she was excellent.

His signing onto this would have to be approved by producers, otherwise he would be might be liable for breach of contract, which I am assuming is at least for a 6 month run. Based on current sales, Mr. Saturday Night isn't going anywhere through at least labor day. So if I had to guessBefore goes into pre-production in mid-July, with plans to start shooting in September, right after Mr. Saturday Night Closes."



You've posted this several times -- and you are wrong each time. The article gives no indication as to when the Apple TV series shoots --- but I can assure you that it does not conflict with his term commitment to MR SATURDAY NIGHT, so there is nothing that needs to be "approved".

I don't think people on this board understand how TV works. This new Apple TV+ show is not going to mess with Billy Crystal's contract whether it's six months, nine months or a year. Sometimes shows have more than a year between announcement and when they begin filming. We all know that the show will close when Billy's contract ends (at the latest...) but this Apple TV+ show does nothing to alter that timeline.

I saw this last night as well with my Dad and we both really enjoyed it. I was interested in seeing the show after seeing their Tony performance!

We won the lottery and were given left orchestra seats F17 and F19 which offered a great view! They were marked partial but I don’t believe we missed anything.

Billy Crystal is absolutely fantastic. You can tell he’s having the time of his life on stage! The entire cast was a riot. I had never seen Shoshana Bean live (I used to listen to her CD superhero all the time, and have seen a bootleg or two of her in Wicked). She sounds SO much like Idina both in her speaking and singing voice.

I definitely preferred the first act to the second; some of the second act seemed like it could have been cut, but, we were laughing throughout the entire show. A great night at the theatre!

I saw the show a few weeks ago right before they went on that 10 day hiatus. I think it would be fair to say I am exactly their target demographic so not surprisingly, I absolutely loved it. Billy did a brief Q&A with the audience after the show. You can just see being on stage, interacting with the audience, getting the laughs, how much that absolutely gives him life. His timing and how he delivers the payoff to the joke, even if you've heard the joke before, you can't help but crack up all over again. You can't teach that. A true comedic legend.

Saw the matinee today and I thought the show overall was quite solid and very well done. It does play to Crystal's fan base and an older demographic. Would not be surprised if he does a short tour of this in 2023 when he's available (Los Angeles, San Francisco, Seattle?).

Happy trails to what was a wonderful show and showcase for a true master of comedy. Hope I have the chance to catch this again in L.A. if that materializes.

I have been told this was filmed last week for distribution by Broadway HD. Can anyone confirm?
