Mandy was very good but if you paid a lot I'd take the refund and repurchase at the lower prices that will likely follow with Nicole being out.

If you bought expensive tickets, I would take the refund & then if you still want to see the show buy cheaper seats later.

For those who have seen her is it worth keeping the tickets or should I look at seeing something else. I’ve heard from a lot of people on these boards that Nicole is the real reason to see it."

False info.

JSquared2 knows very well by now that it was in fact true info. So what's with the"false info" lies and receiving 3 likes on top of it? Who are these people? Is this really how they go through life? When coming across facts they don't like, screaming the word "false!" and putting their heads back in the sand? Strange. Where would we be if facts can't be mentioned anymore?


Oh dear, you seem a bit unhinged and "untethered" from reality. One can only wonder about the reasons for your false claims --- but you are free to believe what you like. Just know thathelp isavailable -- and the first step is admitting that you have a problem."

Oh dear. You haven't checked your inbox? I will accept your apologies whenever you are ready.

On the whole "key" drama: she took the Glenn Close modulation down for the end of With One Look back in November. It's stuck since. It's only a half step down. 

She's also become, shall we say, approximate of pitch at moments, most significantly during the Salome section.

I did not love nor hate her performance. I raised some concerns about longevity back about 20 or so pages ago. Those concerns turned out to be somewhat founded. That being said - neither the small key change nor the pitch issue have risen to a level that is imminently noticeable or concerning. It's a nothingburger at the moment. We'll see where we land near the end of the run.

Not every non-glowing comment is a vicious attack meant to diminish her and the show. It's also true not every ounce of criticism lobbed at her has been deserved. Can we please start talking about this like it was a normal show like any other show?

I would return your tickets and then buy better seats at a lower price now that they're announced as Mandy performances.

Yeah I’m still on the fence as I got a partial view ticket for $87. Going to think about it and see what reviews are like for operation mincemeat and the Jonathan Larson project and then decide

Get the PV on the right. In the orchestra you will miss 2 seconds of Nicole’s entrance if sitting on the left but it’s literally two seconds 

Do not go front row Balcony left or right. There’s a huge pole you can’t see the center stage
