OFFICIAL: INTO THE WOODS Broadway Revival to Open at the St. James Theatre, Performances Begin June 28, 2022 — Page 7

Nolan LuPone said: "Are handling fees any cheaper on Broadway.com?"

I haven't used bway.com in over 7 years since I realized how big of a price difference it was to use their services, even when they had random discounts (upcharge for a balcony seat for me was > 50.00 for Hedwig).

I can tell you SeatGeek cost me 442 and some change for two tickets. I don't know what the taxes were, but base price was 199.00 so all the fee + taxes came out to 22 dollars per ticket, which is about 11% of the total base price.

Normally, I wouldn't. But considering seatgeek's handling fees, I'm considering it."



SeatGeek charges a flat 10% handling fee --- which is LESS than Ticketmaster or Telecharge, and MUCH less than Broadway.com.

Respect is also nice too, but people on these boards seem to put that *very* low on their list of priorities. What are you gonna do, right?

Wow if proshots are the only way of keeping productions alive in the memories of voters that doesn’t place a lot of confidence in them, does it? Wow poor actors that you’d believe that."

Nowhere did ATerrifyingAndImposingFigure imply anything negative about Tony voters... And I agree with their post - for shows that opened in the fall, it could be beneficial for Tony voters (and everyone, for that matter) to have a way to "revisit" shows that have closed. Tony Voters, if they're doing their jobs properly, see every show that opens each season which can be A LOT of shows (and yes, I know not all voters see everything like they're supposed to, but that's a whole other can of worms).

It's easy to possibly forget about some earlier performances from the fall with the inundation of the spring shows. They're human, after all, and as humans we can forget or overlook things, including certain performance or performance elements from a show we saw months ago. It's actually for that reason that many shows that open in the fall or early winter will re-invite voters to attend the show again if it is still running."

Apparently the only way to have your point be heard is if you obey the overlords of these boards who are so high up on their horses they can see Mt. Everest. So I’ll comment on this if other people can learn to be more respectful :)


I see what you’re saying. I still don’t think it’s difficult to forget a performance. I saw Chicken and Biscuits several times and I can picture the theater, I can picture the set and I know what happened and how good the actors were. Don’t they see the shows? Don’t they write down their thoughts? Trust me, even if they’re older, I believe they can still remember things.


satisfied oh supreme one?

Productions regularly send award nominators and voters packets with scripts, cast recordings, photo books, and other such things to keep in people's minds and jog their memory.

It's not remembering that a performance (or whatnot) is good, it's being able to clearly compare it to the others, that you have seen more recently. So you remember the set, etc.... after seeing it SEVERAL times but what you fail to consider is that what you think you remember is 100% accurate. None of our memories are.



But Bwayphreak is correct - you pounce all over people here because you feel you've been wronged; instead of getting defensive, you just need to remember that we do not have to agree here - that's why we have discussions. Do some posters get aggressive? Yes, but doctor, heal thyself.

Except your owning up consists of claiming everyone else acted worse when you needlessly started acting incredibly rude and then lectured others on respectfulness even when they responded civilly.

If you have such a problem, block me. I don’t deserve this. When have any of you acted like an adult and owned up to something? I’d love to see it. Apologized for anything…I am mentioning others because you all love to badmouth me, but when have you ever apologized after I try to as well? I try to de-escalate the situation. Not provoke people.


also on topic: it’s insane how you could find seats you find reasonable, but then the fees are so much you have to go find something else :/

Anyway, but moving back to the show, I had thought of Soo for this role awhile back, I’m excited she’s doing it, hopefully she lives up to my expectation. I’m hoping she brings out more of the humor than Denee did. Benton was a lovely singer and ingenue, but she didn’t quite have the comedic chops when I saw her.

Lol do you always have to be right? Can you accept the fact that you’re all not angels, you’re doing something wrong? Do any of you ever own up to anything or is it only about someone like me doing that? Can you be adults?

Or better yet, y’all act like adults and own up to when you’re treating someone unkindly. That’s all, :)

Does anyone know about when front row seats will be released? Thanks!
