itsjustmejonhotmailcom said: "@Babe_Williams That decision is made jointly between the venue, the tour management company and the producer. The pricing for each stop on the tour is negotiated pretty far in advance, and any discounts that aren't agreed to then need to be agreed to by all parties later. Venues often don't like to discount because unlike Broadway, they need their audiences to come back to see other shows and don't want to train them to look for discounts.
Ha! Just going to NYC is not in the cards for me. I was kind of interested in the politics and policies behind the ticket pricing, is it the production or the house that decides? It just seems really short sighted and probably a downer for the actors to perform to a half empty house, so I don't get it.
Who determines whether discounted tickets or lotteries occur on touring productions? Just wondering why my local broadway affiliate (broadway in detroit) isn't offering any kinds of discounts other than student rush for performances that still have 2/3-1/2 tickets that have gone unsold the week of the show. My real question is why there wouldn't be more of a motivation to get bodies in seats since the show is going on anyway.

Start a thread and give your own report of the show. Others will follow
What kills me about guys like this is their desire to chime in. Was anyone waiting for Adam Guettel's opinion on this issue? And then his surprise when the responses don't go the way he thought. Come ON. Get over yourself, buddy.
Are you really letting a 7 y.o. see DEH? My kid is a bit older than that and has seen at least 3 shows, knows how to behave in the theater, etc., but the material in DEH is way too mature for any 7 year old.
I thought it was...fine. Pretty inoffensive and a fun night at the theater. Would I see it again? Probably not. It mirrors the movie very closely, down to the dialogue.

Not to mention if your flag is blocking my view I'd be pissed. The only thing acceptable during this curtain call is a child holding an "I love Elsa" sign or something along those lines.

I caught the show at its the prior stop in Detroit. The night I saw it, both principals for Elphada and Glinda were out, but I thought the u/s were great. I had never seen Wicked before and even though I had listened to it before, I was not prepared for how amazing the staging of the climax of Defying Gravity was. It really took my breath away. I was not expecting that, since I had watched the Tony performance online and heard the song be

He already shortchanged this revival in the long run by not allowing any truly representative performances on television. All future generations will have is that spiteful "Penny in My Pocket" from the Tonys- and no indication of what unique brilliance bothMidler and Peters brought. "
This is the most disappointing. No youtube footprint o
I think it depends on how big of a Les Miz fan you are? I had not seen a newer production since they removed the turntables, and enjoyed it immensely. It def was sped up compared to what I am used to listening on the recordings. But I loved it.
Bettyboy72 said: "I hope they replace Olivo. I thought she retired anyway. Guessthat was a publicity stunt. I tried to see her 4x in West Side Story, 3x in In The Heights and 2x in Murder Ballad-all unsuccessful. She has issues with long runs."
Ha. Funny, I missed her when she was in Hamilton as well.
I just saw this. Not having seen it on Broadway or in another tour, I had nothing to compare it to. Its definitely different than any musical I have seen before in that there is so much going on stage and the costumes and puppetry are really amazing. I enjoyed it more than I thought I would and the actors did a great job. That said, there were a few parts where I felt like the staging seemed kind of cheap? The inflatables and at the end when you could really see Pride Rock, it sort of lo
