For anyone looking to get tickets to an upcoming performance, I noticed that Joshua Henry has scheduled absences on November 3 and December 7. Also, Shaina Taub is scheduled out on November 19 (both shows) and November 20.

Wait for that one day we can bite free and get back out there in space where we belong, sail back over water, over skies, into space, the hook finally out of our mouths and we wander back out there in space spawning to other planets never to return hurrah to earth and we'll look back and can't even see these lives here anymore. Only the taste of blood to remind us we ever existed. The earth is small. We're gone. We're dead. We're safe."

Sure -- if you want that 'I wait 45 minutes and then have 30 minutes to eat the cold french fries' vibe, But I'm sure it's not just marketing that keeps them crowded.
The Lincoln Center area (1/2 mile in each direction) has at least a dozen really good dining experiences, for a (NYC) reasonable price. You dont have to settle for the places across the street.
"
You going to name these restaurants or just criticize other people's reasonable suggestions? It's a notoriously poor area for dining. Been here fifteen years and don't have a go-to by Lincoln Center.
Of course if we're defining "immediate vicinity" as an entire mile of Manhattan..."
I didnt criticize anyone. I disagreed with an opinion. Ive never met or spoken to the person who posted -- on what basis would I ever criticize him/her?(Although it seems to be sort of common on these threads).
I defined the scope of search as being 'The Lincoln Center area' which I went on to define as ONE HALF mile in each direction. That's different from your making it the 'immediate vicinity' (which I really cant quantify in any way.). And then you turned what I said into 'an entire mile of Manhattan'. That's not what I said. I said 1/2 mile -- 10 city blocks -- (although they are all between 58th to the South (7 blocks away) and 69th to the North (four blocks away), now that I actually look at a map.)
As to my go-tos -- I sent a private message to the person who asked for recommendations. Perhaps he/she will consider the choices, perhaps not. He/She asked, so I sen them along. I dont have any financial or rooting interest in any of these places, and dont want to do their advertising for them. (Or open myself up for more attacks, now that I think about it.)
Stay safe
It is absolutely bizarre to say "I don't want to do their advertising for them" when asked for restaurant recommendations. What planet are you from?

Seeing it tonight - how have the understudies for Sarah and Tateh been? Uranowitz and Lewis have been out the past two nights.

Are both confirmed to be out tonight, Thursday?

Billy Cohen was on for Tateh on Sunday, as was Briana Carlson-Goodman for Emma Goldman. From something I overheard at the stage door, it seemed like it happened without a lot of notice or rehearsal. Cohen was great - charismatic and soulful, with a lovely voice.

That is false, as Brandon sounded fantastic last night.

Misunderstood the “understudies.org” apologies all.

I understand it. Similarly, I never ever mention a show I like by name on this forum because I don't want to do their advertising for them, either.
