STEREOPHONIC Previews — Page 4

Someone mentioned before that the cast did come out, yes.

Thank you!

I try not to ask the question - but I also know it’s a weeknight and the trains back to Jersey get more sparse with time.

Us at the same performance yet again and not realizing it!

Yeah, this show was a BIG game changer for me and, having missed it at Playwrights, I was SO glad for the digital rush and me be able to see it far earlier than I originally planned. While it is definitely long (I clocked 3:13 last night), it was worth every minute. The actors were fantastic and they have VOCALS! I was vibing along with every song and I did not expect the singer from Arcade Fire to be the gold standard in storytelling and plot movement through song on Broadway this season. I think this just became the bar set for the Best Play win.

My mistake. I did mean Will Butler, though he was the former synthesizer, bass, guitar and percussion for Arcade Fire.

Also, some of the cast confirmed at the stage door last night that a cast recording IS happening and there will “also be new songs not seen in the show” on it.

Pulling up a random nights next month I see lots of availability. I know few shows has been selling lots far ahead these days, but if good reviews do come, how far do people think this could extend?.Through the Summer? Through to January?

Also worth noting the extreme sides of the first two rows are $59 (with fees) and, having sat adjacent to those seats last night, I don’t think very much was missed even though they are labeled partial view

I'm so excited to see this, going on May 31. Since the score to this show is getting raves and could possibly the tony award for best score, were there any other times where a tony award for score went to a play?

Would you/others recommend these 'partial view' seats in G/H of the orch, or would you recommend the back row of the orch (also pretty well-priced)? I know not to sit in the first bunch of rows but not sure if G/H is included in that. TIA for any advice, all! :)"

I sat in row G, house right (three seats from the aisle) last night. I did miss a lot of the drummer downstage, and several scenes where characters would sit down on the cushions along house right were obscured. The tape reels/vu meters were also obscured. I'd seen it before with a perfect view at Playwrights Horizons, so could easily fill in the blanks, but I'd think house left would be ideal if you were to sit on a row G side seat.

What WAS that beeping??? It sounded like it was coming from outside but was very annoying. Not to mention all the damn phones going off.

I found the laughter interesting. People were finding humor in parts I’d never considered funny before but understood some of those reactions.

Something I’ve found really great to watch on repeat viewings is

Okay, so I’ve seen many people sing this show’s praises. I am not one of those people, so I’m genuinely curious why people enjoy this so much. Educate me.

Great new songs. Lived in, funny, three dimensional characters. A lot to say about both relationship dynamics and the creative process.

But also, just read the first 94 posts in this thread.

Thinking about taking my dad to see this. Do you think he will enjoy this? He is not a big theatre person but enjoys Les Miz and appreciates Hamilton. I took him to see The Book of Mormon as a Christmas present (2 years ago) and he loved it.

He loves and still listens to the late 70s and 80s music. He listens to Arcade Fire, Tragically Hip, Foo Fighters and other stuff like that.

Please lmk if he would enjoy sitting through this? Thank in advanced
