" In theory, you are correct, but as its been said, because this is at the Museum, they have an unorthodox schedule."

 

Conservative, even?

Bwahahaha....what a mensch!

 

(I had a similar thought when writing!)

If we're not having fun, then why are we doing it? These are DISCUSSION boards, not mutual admiration boards. Discussion only occurs when we are willing to hear what others are thinking, regardless of whether it is alignment to our own thoughts.

I'm looking at tickets for a Thursday matinee in October, and everything left is on the far right, far left, or in the back center. Will I miss anything if I get a front seat that's off to the far sides?

No, I dont think so, the house isnt terribly wide, not would there be anything obstructing your view. As far as sitting in the back, this isnt a very large theater- so I wouldn't worry about that.

Thanks so much! Ended up going for center back. Excited that this extended and I get to see it!

I paid full price for 2 seats Row J center on 10/21/18 and sadly can't use them.  Is anyone interested?

This got extended again until December 30. I noticed their performance schedule is odd though. They have a week with no performances, some weeks with only 3/4 shows and most weeks only have 6/7 shows. Curious what the cast is getting paid?

A Chorus Line revival played its final Broadway performance on August 17, 2008. The tour played its final performance on August 21, 2011. A new non-equity tour started in October 2012 played its final performance on March 23, 2013. Another non-equity tour launched on January 20, 2018. The tour ended its US run in Kansas City and then toured throughout Japan August & September 2018.

Hoping it keeps the schedule it currently has (Thursday and Friday matinees) so I can fit it in on my next trip.

Would you explain why? Is it because it’s unlikely to succeed there from a financial perspective, or is there another reason or reasons.

I've never been in this theater, and don't know enough about it to understand why this would be a bad choice for this production. Is it too small for its size for this FIDDLER to be profitable? Unappealing generally in some other ways?

It actually has 499 seats, one short of being a Broadway theater. It doesn’t have a great track record of successful shows. The only thing I’ve seen there is Trip of Love. Nuff said.

It’s also going from a concert hall setting to a legit theater, so wonder if the production will be “enhanced” in any way? Kind of wish they had chosen one of the Theatre Row theaters instead.

Stage 42 is a Theatre Row theatre.

I think CT2NYC meant a theater in the actual Tbeatre Row building.

Stage 42 is just a big undertaking. Ushers, staff, etc.

Based on clips I've seen, I would hope so as well as they'll have a much bigger stage to fill. I like Stage 42 even if it's usually home to flops. It's a comfortable venue with good sightlines even if it feels more like a movie theater. Trip of Love looked cheap in there but after seeing the Smokey Joe's Cafe set, I think it could be the home of a more legitimate production.

I wish this Fiddler well. I haven’t seen it but plan to. There is nothing “wrong” with Stage 42. I understand Fiddler is coming from a smaller venue but I assume the Producers couldn’t afford to go all the way to Broadway so they settled for the largest size Off Broadway house to try and turn a profit, which is harder to do in a smaller Off Broadway house, plus it’s midtown and near many restaurants and theatre row.
Oh, yes, please leave Trip of Love alone! It’s gone now. It entertained many for nearly a year (about 10 months)- longest show at Stage 42, I believe. Employed actors, stage managers and staff. That’s a good thing. Also, kept that theatre lit which is better for the neighborhood than months of seeing a dark theatre with gates down and “See a Show Just for the Fun of It” on a marquee.
Slow curtain. The end.
