Romeo and Juliet starts previews tomorrow night at the Richard Rodgers Theatre. Who here is going? I am looking forward to hearing about not only the show itself, but about the newly renovate Richard Rodgers Theatre!

I just can't decide if I'll be crazy bored with this or actually into it. I mean, it's a play we all know, etc. So I don't know. I'm curious to see the renovation though.
I just got tickets for Wednesday night on TDF. Not sure what to expect. This could be really good, or a total disaster. Set in modern times with a black and a white family. Either way I get to look at Orlando Bloom for a few hours.
Mac -- I think the poster meant that On Saturday morning there were tdf tickets available during the week. (not that there were Sat tix.
If we're not having fun, then why are we doing it?
These are DISCUSSION boards, not mutual admiration boards. Discussion only occurs when we are willing to hear what others are thinking, regardless of whether it is alignment to our own thoughts.
Bloom does, indeed, have a nude scene, but not during the bedroom escape. Rather, this addition to the staging gives very new meaning to Juliet's "Oh, happy dagger! Here is thy sheath!"
I got a student ticket for $22 at 1:30 this afternoon. If you have an ID, they are also selling these in advance. I'm rear orchestra, but I don't mind it much in this theatre. The raked seating is very nice.

With David Leveaux directing, how good could it be? Remember his Fiddler on the Roof? How do you ruin Fiddler on the roof? You let David Leveaux direct it.
Will Romeo and Juliet look like the Cherry Orchard? Bet it will. Anatevka looked like the Cherry Orchard in Mr Leveaux horrible staging.
