Official JCM as Hedwig (2015 Edition) Thread — Page 5

The car wash doesn't have a fixed location, so... no way to know for sure, usually happens in the first 3-4 rows of orchestra, but no clue what the visibility is from the mezz as far as that goes.

As much as I enjoyed the other Hedwigs, something always felt like it was missing. In the back of my head, I was just hoping and praying John would take over. If you were ever going to see this show, now is the time.

Diva_Dom I was sitting in row E of the mezz and saw the car wash perfectly fine. I think JCM is sticking to car washing row A as he can get there easily from the stage.

That things has always been there, though, some sort of speaker/equipment. The usher always tells people you can't put anything on that before the show. NPH picked that seat at first, too, since you have that thing down there AND the wire hanging that you can hold onto. Once he got into his run, he started doing more in the audience where he had to get up onto the armrests, etc.

How was the lotto crowd for the 10PM show last night anyone go?
Did they sell SRO for the 10PM.

Been on TKTS for a good while. Gonna be in town in a few weeks and gonna take a gamble on TKTS availability for this I think.

^ TKTS was selling center orchestra for the 10PM show last night - I received Row G Seat 111 (and had seats open on either side of me).

@Rainbowhigh23 how much was the center orchestra seat from TKTS?

"Does anyone know why on tele charge site, they don't show any 10pm shows?"

No clue, since I see 10p shows on the online calendar, looked to see how they were selling, and even have a 10p seat bought through the website for JCM's last show.

I gotta say that I honestly get a good feeling every time I read a review like yours, Alix. That there are people who adored the performance and can see the difference between JCM's Hedwig and all others. Well, after all, John did create the character and based it on actual people from his life.

I"m not really surprised that ticket sales aren't through the roof. Unfortunately, JCM isn't a name well known outside the NY theater community. It's frustrating that it takes a big show biz name to fill the seats regardless of the performance.

I really need to stop reading this thread, since every time I do it makes time until I see the show seem further and further away.

I've basically lost my mind over JCM and have seen the show three times since Wednesday. I didn't see MCH and its obviously been a while since i saw NPH and AR, but I feel like they have significantly ramped up the Hedwig/Yitzak relationship with JCM in the role. I feel like they're making it clear now that there is definitely some kind of sex happening between the characters, and there are many more tender moments between them when Yitzak will come over and comfort Hedwig after a difficult moment or just make sure she's okay, and in between all of Hedwig's barbs at Yitzkak, she does seem to touch and caress him more, little gestures of affection that I don't think were there before. There's also the completely new moment when Yitzak stalks over to Hedwig and glares at whoever she kissed during Sugar Daddy and then envelops her in his arms and sucks on her neck for a minute. I don't recall seeing really anything but contempt from H to Y before, especially with NPH. Just another way in which JCM has taken this production to a new transcendent level.
