MOULIN ROUGE! VIP ROOM  Aug 22 2019, 12:15:31 PM

Just as an FYI I’m in Mezzanine seat G1 which affords a quick escape to the men’s restroom. Didn’t have any issues with it when I was there for Kinky Boots back in March, and was one of the very first in line using those facilities.

I’m not sure how soon they let you into the Al Hirschfield Theatre for this show that you’d still be able to enjoy the exclusive pre-show experience (whatever that means), but unless there’s a reason to stic

Beetlejuice seating  Aug 20 2019, 06:18:37 PM

I sat front row center mezzanine seat A116 and thought the view was perfectly fine... 

...wouldn't hesitate booking it again.  

There were no issues seeing facial expressions (mainly because most were over-exaggerated) or missing any action on stage. Despite the normal view picture looking really far away, in person it was fine. Go with the best seat you can afford.

Shows Closing Sunday, August 18, 2019  Aug 17 2019, 07:51:37 AM

Pretty Woman: The Musical would have played for just over a year at the Nederlander Theatre, so it had a decent enough run? The Cher Show officially opened on December 3, 2018, and King Kong on November 8, 2018, so again decent runs time-wise.

Not sure how they will have done financially, or whether any of them recouped.

I would have liked to have seen King Kong, but opted for seeing a museum and then Beetlejuice on


Shows Closing Sunday, August 18, 2019  Aug 16 2019, 08:33:09 PM

Lots of closures this weekend: on Broadway the final performances of The Cher Show, King Kong, and Pretty Woman: The Musical; and Off Broadway, Puffs: Or Seven Increasingly Eventful Years at a Certain School of Magic and Magic. Anyone going to the last curtain calls? 



HAMILTON National Tour  Aug 15 2019, 07:28:12 AM

Similar to your experience, with my first and second time seeing HAMILTON the seating was much closer for the latter (and in a slightly smaller venue), and being close enough to see expressions and make out detail made all the difference in the world. And being as I’ve seen it far fewer times than you, and it was five months apart between shows, I had time to recover and be emotionally invested again. Still, this is a GREAT show and I hope to catch it every few years when it co

BEETLEJUICE Reviews  Aug 14 2019, 06:42:30 PM

The entire time I was sitting in the theatre I never once thought of terminology like “book” and “score” - I was there just to have a lazy, crazy, good time. Disengage my brain for once. And I never tried to think of it as serious theatre, to look at it through critical eyes. 

There will be those who really didn’t like it, and those who will see it over and over again. Heck, I’d almost be willing to give up my Hadestown t


BEETLEJUICE Reviews  Aug 14 2019, 05:15:25 PM

This brought back great memories of the show, and what a great curtain call this is... :)

I’ll assume you’re talking about my mention of the OBCR.

There’s been reference to some songs in the show of which I’ve never heard before (Firework, Chandelier, and Bad Rom


Moulin Rouge (pro) reviews  Aug 12 2019, 05:56:44 PM

I’m still about two weeks from my third trip to NYC and I’m slowly getting VERY excited about this. I’ll also need to start listening to the Hadestown OBCR again since I’m seeing it too. It’s a shame that the Moulin Rouge! cast recording won’t come out until after I’ve seen the show. Ah, but it’ll make for good memories! Not sure how many souvenirs I’ll buy but I’m not digging the window card at all. Do love the coffee mug

I actually just received my ticket for The Lion King in the mail today for when the tour passes through Pittsburgh next month (it’ll be the 2nd time I’ve seen it). I used the Season Subscriber exchange benefit to swap it out with Summer: The Donna Summer Musical....it was either ditch that one or


HAMILTON National Tour  Aug 12 2019, 05:29:55 AM
^ ^ ^ Great review! I saw Joseph Morales in Cleveland last year and loved his performance. I’ll get to see HAMILTON once more when the tour comes through Pittsburgh in the 2020/2021 season, so there’s no telling which company it will be and who will be playing Hamilton at that point. I’d still love to see Miguel Cervantes since I didn’t make it to Chicago. Enjoy the show (again) Wednesday night too. Sounds like your having a LOT of fun this year. Wish I had the line-up you do! :)

Hello, Dolly! Tour reviews.  Aug 11 2019, 09:21:05 PM

What a gorgeous production, and it was even better than I remembered from when I saw it in Cleveland just over 300 days ago. There’s been very little if anything in the past year (or in my life, for that matter) that’s given me such pure, totally utter, absolute, heartfelt joy than this show, and I will miss it very much. Meeting Nic Rouleau was amazing, and seeing Betty Buckley with her beautiful trademark silver hair was all very exciting. But that was just the beginning.

Hello, Dolly! Tour reviews.  Aug 11 2019, 03:24:59 PM

Intermission, and Betty Buckley’s performance is absolutely knocking it out of the park! The audience reactions will of course never match what we heard at the Shubert Theatre on Broadway, but this crowd here, if their reactions and applause are any gauge, loves her and the show so far. Sorry this will be the last time I’ll ever see Hello, Dolly!, so I’m glad it’s with Betty Buckley. :)



Hello, Dolly! Tour reviews.  Aug 11 2019, 01:48:12 PM

And Betty Buckley walked by really fast too right after Nic. The only replacements on the cast board are Rudolph and the judge.

Just ran into Nic Rouleau on the sidewalk! Very cool. And he’s much taller in person that I’d imagined!

Hamilton vs Harry Potter and the cursed child  Aug 11 2019, 12:52:19 PM
I’ve seen the Hamilton tour twice (Angelica and Philip) as well as HP: Parts One and Two on Broadway. I’ve never been a big Harry Potter fan but really enjoyed the last several movies of that series. Haven’t read any of the books. I really enjoyed Harry Potter at the Lyric Theatre, especially some of the magic and special effects were pretty amazing. But I do agree that Hamilton is by far the greater piece of creative artistry of the two options.

Problem with links in posts  Aug 11 2019, 12:32:02 PM

I’ve never used the app. I’ve always just used a direct internet link to the website forum that I have on my iPhone home screen. And I’ve never had a problem with the links unless someone tries to add one in the initial post before reviewing it.

Miles2Go2 said: "Enjoy!!!"

 

It’ll only be my 5th time seeing the show (twice on Broadway, twice in Cleveland at the Tour Launch, and now today) but nothing compared to how many times DollyPop has seen HD! This is still among my Top 5 ever of all the shows I’ve seen and the only one other than Hamilton that I’ve seen more than once (like you have).

Is this also the case when you do a preview of your post and then post the link then? I’ve always done it that way and I’ve never had a problem.
