Hold up. Did I miss the memo? Is this the next HAMILTON and ticket prices are going to explode Broadway history?

“What I hope to do as a theater maker is to give people a really unforgettable, exciting time while they're in the space. Then, and more importantly is the moment they walk out of the theater, I've sort of given them a mental STD... It is very easy for theater goers and theater producers, I think to say, "OK, we want to make something simple. We want people to leave saying, I feel happy, Oh, I feel sad. I feel like I laughed a lot." But I think you know what we strived for with this particular piece, and what I'm proud of is that it is, it's all of those things.”
 

I saw it. It’s none of these things. Not an outlier take.

Yes, these comments from him are becoming word salad messy.  Sounds like someone does not want to take the blame when they know they're half the problem.

He’s standing by his show?  If sounds like he’s proud of what they did.  We know u hate the show and now you’re just projecting your own hatred of it onto others.

Of course he is standing by the show he directed, it’s still running.

No.  Not true at all.  It's very clear the timing of these comments.  And it has nothing to do with not "standing by" it - it's is, however, grasping at straws, trying to rationalize the created "STD".

I would question the timing of your upset of our opinion considering when you have joined the board TODAY .... .... ....

Oh look. Another shill account created today that uses “u” for you. At least put some effort into hiding that you are the same person.

O yes, and ticket sales look abysmal for this week!

I usually get the accessibility seat in the rear orchestra since I can’t fit in the normal seats, and the one I got for Sherie’s first show (11/25) was $54.88 at full price. Makes me glad I didn’t roll the dice on rush or TDF

I have one ticket for today's matinee (Wednesdy, November 19, 2pm).  It is a center aisle seat in the mid Mezzanine. 

I've turned on private messages. If you can use it please message me with an email address to forward the e-ticket to you.

The only person I would prefer not to give it to is the Phantom who haunts us under many names.

Inception, I would highly recommend seeing it.  It’s a very exciting, very good new musical with a knockout performance by the great Kristin Chenoweth.  Don’t miss it!

Private messages are definitely on now.

I'm seeing Two Strangers instead this afternoon.  Changed my plans after all the honest feedback here.

The ticket is available at no charge to someone who can use it.

Two strangers is a yawn.  The Queen of Versailles is exciting and fun and highly enjoyable.  If you’re in town and it’s still running, I’d highly recommend seeing it.

And is running around defending Laura Osnes and schooling everyone that COVID was a cold for anyone under 40 or 30 or whatever  (Tell that to folks in two families I know, who gathered in ERs to face certain death of a loved one.)  Ghost TF outta that person, that's my unsolicited advice. Don't take the bait from new joiner trolls.

Just went by the TKTS booth, but no takers there.

You know you can last date it Inception?  They are very accommodating and you can see it at a later date.  You can give it to me and I will see it again with your ticket
