Thanks testing! If I go I'm trying to figure out which would be better, the SRO or the $40 rear mezzanine seats.

I saw Movin Out from the rear mezzanine and the view was really good.

Rear Mezz ($40) is fine !! Gives you a great view of the set !!!

... and.. especially since its summer, I think they need to start selling Piraguas outside the theatre !! :))

So I'm brand new here but after registering this was the first thread I knew I had to come to. I'm completely addicted to this musical after watching the Tonys on Sunday. Luckily my parents got me interested in musicals from an early age, but In the Heights has taken that enthusiasm through the roof! I can't stop listening to the album and I'm keeping my fingers crossed and praying that come Fall break in mid-October I can make it up to NYC and see it myself before the OBC leaves. I'm a southern boy and love it, but these are the times I wish NC were not so far away because it's been 3 yrs since my last visit.

Anyways, assuming it works out, do yall have any suggestions as far as seating (mez or orchestra)? Also is there anything else I oughta know about going on in the city around that time (last time we were lucky enough to catch the Gates exhibit and Chinese New Year) but I'm always excited to explore the city and see what's up.

Sorry for the long message!

Ever seat in that theater is amazing with this show. The back of the orchestra is he worst though. I had front row mezz seats the other night and they were fantastic and they were all the way to the side. Lotto seats are great but I think the best seats I have had are row G orchestra! They were amazing but if you are aiming towards cheap go for the rear mezz. I was walking in the Mezz and looked at the view from rear mezz and it was fantastic!

The show is just so much fun right now !!! Such a buzz outside the theatre, and you can see the cast feeding off the energy inside. Lin sounded amazing tonight, and added a little wrinkle (seems like everyone adding little bits and pieces here and there) during "It Wont Be Long Now"- a little "robot" dance right before "No Para...."

Really like a giant party inside !!!

I've got to see this show again. It's been too long.

Would I have a shot at standing room for the WEdnesday mat? I only ask because I have a very strong feeling I will lose lotto again.

The lottery was not as bad as I expected it to be tonight.. I mean, it was crowded, but nothing like Tues.

I just got the In the Heights cd, and havent seen the show yet. Are there any songs I should ignore in case it gives away any spoilers?

I was just about to ask that! Anyone?

Ummm off the top of my head I definitely say skip "Paciencia y Fe" even though I love that song.

[musicandtemiror]

Posted: 6/21/08 at 12:23am

There is a list in this thread but to save you the trouble...



Paciencia Y Fe (Patience And Faith)
Atencion
Alabanza
Everything I Know

thats all I can think of that has MAJOR plot related stories

[Testing1232]

Posted: 6/21/08 at 12:29am

Definitely skip the (4) just mentioned !

On another note--- I REALLY need the "ITH" baseball jerseys that the cast have !! Janet was wearing one tonight before the show... Too cute !!

Since I didn't see it posted, BroadwayUnderstudies has Doreen listed as Daniela for next Monday (6/30), as does her facebook group.

Carnaval del Barrio also has a few spoilers in the song.

[musicalmaster703]

Posted: 6/21/08 at 10:19am

But those are some of the best songs.

[musicandtemiror]

Posted: 6/21/08 at 10:25am

Basically the whole cd has plot issues in it but if your like me and can't enjoy the show unless you know what is going to happen next [or what is eventually going to happen] it doesn't matter.
I listed to the obcr before I went.
I still loved it even more!

You shold skip "Hundreds of Stories" also. I hope the rest of the album is enough to tide you over until you see it, and, when you do, we want a review.

Wow... it's like I am a Lin-inn-training.

Speaking of rhyming, part of what makes me love Lin the most is the way he rhymes words. What are your favorite rhymes in ITH?

I love
...eyes on the horizon
...maxipads...taxi cabs
and millions more to come

I'm really starting to fall hard for this show, haven't seen it live yet, but am going end of July, do you think they'll still have rear mezz available day of? In case we don't win lotto (which probably we won't, but gotta try right?) All I know is I have to see this show when I'm in NYC hopefully more than once.

[Drunk Chita Rivera]

Posted: 6/21/08 at 11:27am

No, they will not have the rear mezz seats day of. They didn't really have them pre tons so they won't now. It's been sold out so I would get them ahead of time.

you will have to buy tickets ahead of time.

Hi I am making an In The Heights fan site and was wondering if I could use some of the posts on here as quotes and reviews. Like I would say... "bsadasdsad" -Drunk Chita Rivera from the Broadway World Boards.


When I start getting the site running I will post it.


Is everyone ok with that?

[shh282]

Posted: 6/21/08 at 12:40pm

As much as I respect everyone's thoughts and opinions here-

you don't want to use people like the NY Times and the like for reviews?

[musicalmaster703]

Posted: 6/21/08 at 1:08pm

I will but there have been some great things said on this board.
