90% capacity and only $319,000!? Jeez the entire audience must be comps.

My experience was the opposite! I was sitting in the orchestra and was kind of shocked at the narrow staircase leading down to a very cramped and chaotic queue for the inadequately-sized bathroom. It looked as if no consideration had been given to expanding that bathroom or making crowd flow more efficient."

You can take the elevator to the balcony level and they have bathrooms there…. But I don’t know if balcony is open right now. I know they’re not selling tickets in balcony but maybe the bathrooms are open for audience use.

Michael Cerveris is doing daily videos on Instagram and he is the one mentioning extensive changes, how it felt like a whole new preview show etc. , how songs/materials got cut. Just yesterday he mentioned the show again had a lot changes. Is he lying?

Attended Monday night.11/4, as the first show of seven I'll see this week (annual Bway vacation).   I.was crestfallen,.to say.the least.  Cast gave their all, but I detected flop sweat in.their every action [ I'm probably projecting ] and I really feel for them.  Sets/costumes were adequate, plot.was.murky and uninspired.and Sir Elton delivered a score that surpassed Lestat in its banality.  Jack Shears should share EJ's blame for.the.insipid. lyrics.

I.attended The Outsiders tonight, and that cleared my theatrical palate for the remainder of.my week.  Next up, Cabaret, Gatsby, Sunset BLVD, Death Becomes Her.and Oh, Mary!  Things will continue to improve, I've no doubt.

OK that makes more sense, though it's still a terrible amount. (I was responding to a post that said 90%, which has since been edited btw.)

I think “lying” is a bit extreme. There could be changes being made that are ‘extensive’ for the performers to adjust & execute, but actually have little impact on the overall show from the perspective of the audience.

Also interesting that they list this as 2:30 runtime on the website but people are saying it runs about 2:45. Are they throwing the kitchen sink to see what lands and have major cuts coming?"

What's the runtime now? I don't see it on the show or ticketing website, but online says either 2 hour and 10 mins with 1 intermission or 2:45 mins. Just want to make sure if budget my time since I have to catch a train.
