Is it time for a mass exodus from Broadway World?  May 10 2018, 10:10:16 PM

When it comes down to it, this is exactly on point. 



The Band's Visit Seating Question  May 10 2018, 10:04:21 PM

Good to hear, because Row AA is where I’ll be sitting in less than 20 days. :)

To me, it is the perfect emotional climax and it was written beautifully with the crescendo leading up to "Only You", which in my opinionbasically encapsulates the entire message of the show in 2 words. I don't think I'll ever forget the amount of chills I got in that moment. This should absolutely win best score.&

Looking forward to seeing the show at the end of the month. “Answer Me” is probably my favorite song on the entire album. My favorite line: “In my dreams my beloved lies beside me. When the sun lights the room, I fi


Tony Shalhoub  May 8 2018, 07:32:35 PM

And I’ll be there May 30th for the 2pm matinee. Would love to have experienced Tony Shalhoub in “The Band’s Visit” for my first EVER Broadway show. 



Broadway Records to release MY FAIR LADY cast album  May 7 2018, 08:39:26 PM

Any idea if this will be available for digital download, say on iTunes or someplace else. Much better for me since I don’t own a CD player. 

Still a month away before it’s released...

Also, I bought tickets for the bands visit the day before and they came in the mail on this past Friday"

 

That’s sort of what prompted me to check: I had ordered my tickets from another site for “My Fair Lady” on May 1st and they came in the ma


HELLO, DOLLY! Sets August 25 Closing Date; Bette Midler to Return July 17  May 7 2018, 06:44:42 PM

I know it’s only been a week or so since these tickets went on sale. I noticed that mine haven’t even been printed yet after buying them on 4/28. Has anyone received theirs yet? Is this typical when a large number of tickets are purchased on the same day from Telecharge?

In comparison, I got my tickets for the National Tour of “Hamilton” in Cleveland after 48 shows sold out within four hours, the tickets showing up at my doorstep seven calendar da

Aladdin tour  May 7 2018, 05:31:09 AM

Great Dame said: "I saw it in Denver last month and loved it! I didn't know the Aladdin changed right before so I can't really compare actors, but the guy who was in last month was great! That said, the genie steals the show anyway so I say go for it! It was a blast!"

Thank you, Great Dame. :)
 

And my apologies for misspelling/typo Adam’s last name. I knew it was Jacobs, but didn’t proofread before hitt


My Fair Lady End Time?  May 6 2018, 07:37:47 PM

Thanks! Hopefully the weather will be nice for this visit in mid-August. A walk sounds nice, and it doesn’t look any further than about 20-25 minutes.

Any idea about the Loge exits? I’m assuming there’s one at the top of each aisle and on the sides. Just trying to strategize a quick theater exit after curtain call is over.



Aladdin tour  May 6 2018, 07:32:32 PM

Has anyone seen the tour since Adam Jacob departed the show back at the end of March? I was bummed to read that he left, and wanted to see how the new ‘Aladdin’ was in comparison.



HELLO, DOLLY! Sets August 25 Closing Date; Bette Midler to Return July 17  May 6 2018, 04:32:31 PM

I was online around 5:30am and there where no seats for the last show, so yes, it looks like seats are pooping in and out of availability.

And I was surprised at the staggering number of seats still available for the 8/18 2pm matinee. Telecharge showed all seats available on a really cool 3D interactive map, and it looked like 3/4 of the balcony and as many of the mezzanine were still available, with a good number of side seats in the orchestra section. I thought for


My Fair Lady End Time?  May 6 2018, 04:25:14 PM

I’m seeing an 8pm show and will be seated in the front row center Loge a few seats in. Are there exits at the top of each staircase within the Loge? It’s hard to tell by the pictures.

Also, I’ll be getting out around 11pm and will want to take a few night shots of the Lincoln Center area. Afterwards, what’s the best way to get back down into the Broadway part of town where my hotel is? Would I be safe taking the subway at 11:30pm? Or should I use Uber? Thank you


Betty Buckley "DOLLY" opening in Cleveland/ Casting News ?  May 5 2018, 06:38:12 PM

ACL2006 said: "Curious of anyone from the Broadway production will join the tour?"

I’d love it if Santino Fontana and Charlie Stemp toured. I’ve heard nothing but wonderful things about the latter, and it doesn’t look like I’ll get the see Mr. Fontana since Gavin Creel is coming back. 



Betty Buckley "DOLLY" opening in Cleveland/ Casting News ?  May 5 2018, 04:49:26 PM

Individual tickets sales are still TBA. It’s playing Oct. 2 - 21, and I’d love to drive up  to the Connor Palace to see it. This is the same theater I saw “The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time”. And I already have a ticket for “Hamilton” in Cleveland for my birthday in July, might as well go back up again for the opening weekend of the “Hello, Dolly!” National Tour since I’m seeing it on Broadway at the end

No worries at all. I’m very happy now with the purchase after checkin

I’m sure it’s a blatant rip off. But I do wish the web page had explained it somewhere, a breakdown of why it was so expensive. P.S. Stress test came out fine more or less. They still can’t figure out what’s causing my heart probl
