Radio City Christmas Spectacular Discount? Sep 13

This is one I was also looking at attending mid-December on a Wednesday evening. When would the discounted seats start showing up.
ArtMan said: "I'm seeing it on September 21. If they are out by then, I'll pick up one for you. But, of course if it only for October, then...."
That would be fantastic, however I’m guessing since the Instagram post says October-only Halloween Playbill cover it may not be out when you see the show. Booo...
YvanEhtNioj said: "Also, I started to get really annoyed with the audience laughing every time they recognized a song. Kinda kills the moment. "
This happened a LOT when I saw the show, and especially for songs I didn’t know it not only took me out of the moment but made me feel like I was missing out on an inside joke or something.
Any member reviews or comments out there to update us on how things are going with the show and it’s performances? Is this a Don’t Miss This Whatever You Do type of play? And are there merchandise stands in the theatre with window cards, etc.?

I’ll do that then, wait for individual tickets to go on sale. I still get plenty of their (Pittsburgh CLO) emails for advanced sales prior to general public release dates. And now that you’ve mentioned Cabaret, that would be very nice to see again, but I’m not sure about Guys and Dolls, Sister Act, and A Chorus Line. We’ll have to wait and see who they cast in the leads.
We’re not even into the first show of the 2019/2020 season and I’m already highly anticipating what’s coming next fo
LittleCheno said: "Just a random question in follow up to KO being out---is anyone of the cast above title on this one?"
None of the cast have above the title credits - I checked my Playbill (cover and interior listings), window card, my pics of the Al Hirschfield Theatre exterior, even the souvenir program and cast insert. Karen Olivo is listed before Aaron Tveit, and Danny Bernstein last on the Playbill show main page, and t
I jumped online right at 12noon and saw several of the FREE seats for both early-November and December dates, but decided not to grab them since I wasn’t sure I could make it back to NYC again. I hated to pass up the opportunity, but instead of going back to see HP again I’d rather see Moulin Rouge! and maybe Betrayal (before it closes). Congrats to everyone who scored tickets!!!
Thanks sbflyfan! Wouldn’t mind seeing a few of those if the price is right, but I’m not really wanting to buy season tickets. Need to save up for the 2020/2021 PNC Broadway series for when Hamilton comes back again.
I like the stylized font on the exterior of the Lyric Theatre, just wish it was a little brighter in color. Much prefer the older Showbills, the new ones are just fugly...
The Pittsburgh CLO has announced their 2020 Summer Season and among the shows are THE SPONGEBOB MUSICAL (June 2-7) and ONCE ON THIS ISLAND (June 9-14). I wonder if these are the official tour or local productions?
In addition to the marquee pictures I took that are linked above, if anyone is interested here are some of the others I took during the short 16hrs during my recent trip to NYC...

(Encore) because the choice snippet choices seem more designed for a high energy ending (odd after the death of a lead character) rather than any sort of any coherence. It really does nothing for me."
I think that’s when the show lost me. I was sort of taking everything (at least the crappy acting parts) so seriously, and you just ha
IHeartNY2 said: "Like I said, saw this coming a mile away. There's definitely a trend on BWW...someone who thinks Hadestown is the second coming won't care for this."
I didn’t say Hadestown was the second coming. I’ve enjoyed all sorts of shows: from Beetlejuice and The Book of Mormon to The Play That Goes Wrong and Harry Potter, The School of Rock to Something Rotten, and An American in Paris to Kinky Boots. I don&
The sumptuous, extravagant, grandiose, lavish, over-the-top set design and lush interior decor of the theatre house for Moulin Rouge! are definitely the MOST visually stunning and impressive I have ever seen. When you walk into the theatre for the first time heading for your seat all you can saw is WOW! Just WOW! The windmill and elephant are so eye-catching you can’t help but admire how they, and everything else - the walls draped in gorgeous deep-red fabric, everything trimme
As I had mentioned before, Hadestown far exceeded my expectations. With the use of striking and distinctive lighting effects, simple choreography, a very cool set and unpretentious staging design, and a strong cast, everyone (including the Understudy, Alfa Hines, as Persephone) did a fantastic job. I wasn’t displeased in the slightest with any part of the entire show, with the small exception of the beginning of Act 2, which started off initially perplexing and then slowed to a crawl (c
