Not sure it’s entitlement so much as an acknowledgment that we used to get a better product for a cheaper price and now we get an inferior product for an inflated price.
Rush and lottery tickets used to feel special; it’s perfectly acceptable to long for those earlier days."

 

Hmm, I remember even EARLIER days when there was no such thing as a "lottery". The producers have absolutely NO obligation to offer ANY discounts. Don't look a gift horse in the mouth. 

It is the same "entitlement" that gets people upset because, "I waited in freezing rain for TWO HOURS and Sutton had the nerve not to come out and sign my playbill. She owes it to us!"

How can people be so ungrateful and criticize something they have no god given right to? Yes, entitlement. Grow up. 

 

 

If you don't want to be disappointed in your seat location buy a freaking ticket. 

The show hasn't been selling well, so, realistically, there should be options if stuck with a lottery seat you don't like. Rather than suffering in silence, I'd start by asking the box office if there's anything they could do. If that didn't work, I'd go in early and start scoping out better seat locations, and, at the very least, I'd plan on moving at intermission. Even asking to do standing room for the first act, and then finding an empty orchestra seat for act two seems preferable to being annoyed in the balcony the whole show. For $40, I wouldn't mind putting in some leg work to make myself more comfortable.

Any news on a cast album yet?

Has the entire score been recorded yet?

No one is saying anything remotely this dramatic. 

I’m sure they will try to get to the Tonys unless they take some giant nose dive. Most producers know the winter is the worst. Granted they have been promoting the crap out of this. Maybe the gold age big tap dance style show is just of the past?

GiantsInTheSky2 said: "I was also thinking, this is a splashy musicalthat could tour with very little adjustments to the physical production…do select/major cities, get Mariah to make an appearance at one of them. A girl can dream, right? I still think there’s more they could be doing with promotion but that seems to be a touchy subject lately."

If the producers can’t even get Mariah to show up to see this on Broadway, what makes you think Mimi would show up to a second tier touring production?

 

The reviews tell me it’s funny but not particularly sexy. The two songs they’ve performed on TV seem generic. They remind me of the catchier corresponding songs in Sugar.

The LGBT press hasn’t been promoting this as a queer romance, so I’m assuming that’s a minor subplot. At this point the only thing that would get me to buy a ticket is a stellar cast album.

Because there really is no "queer romance". Osgood doesn't know until the end. And it is a big part of the plot in Act II.

There is a queer romance - Daphne is queer and falls in love with Osgood.

SPOILER ALERT:

I'm not so sure. I believe it's suggested that Osgood knew all along that Daphane was trans - it just didn't matter to him. Daphane, on the other hand, didn't know that Osgood knew. In the musical, Jerry/Daphne gets to the point of saying, “You don’t understand—” only to be interrupted by Osgood: “Daphne, my dear, I do understand. And I think you’re perfect.”

 

Saw a comment on Reddit this morning that they were closing off the balcony for mid-week performances this past week. 

You might get better seats rushing this week.
