Touring production prices  Oct 18 2018, 03:31:29 PM

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.

Touring production prices  Oct 18 2018, 12:18:29 PM

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. 



Touring production prices  Oct 18 2018, 07:55:38 AM

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.



Spielberg's West Side Story  Oct 2 2018, 09:24:32 AM

bwaylinds said: "Am I the only one who couldn't see Platt as Tony?"

NOPE. I like Ben enough as a performer, but he is wrong for the role.

From the twitter comments: Ansel is going to do a good job but no one on the planet will ever sing these songs better than @BenSPLATT

 

I can think of numerous singers who can perform the songs as well as, or better than Ben Pla


Really, no reports on the DEH and Miss Saigon tours?  Sep 28 2018, 11:09:33 AM

Adam Guettel on Dr. Ford/ Kavanaugh  Sep 21 2018, 11:43:46 AM

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.



Unaccompanied minors  Sep 13 2018, 03:07:20 PM

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.



School of Rock  Sep 12 2018, 11:27:36 AM

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. 



Audience member waves a Trump flag during FROZEN  Sep 7 2018, 09:25:31 AM

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. This dude is the definition of douche-Frozen is a family/kids show. If he had done that at War Paint he'd be

Wicked Current Tour  Sep 7 2018, 09:20:03 AM

Aw, that was a great review.

 

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

WOW. he really showed them by buying a front row seat, sitting through the entire show and then having his flag snatched away. LOL



Goodbye, Dolly  Aug 27 2018, 01:56:24 PM

I think if Rudin were more of a visionary, he could've done something to make this run longer. 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


Les Miserables Tour 2017  Aug 15 2018, 01:13:21 PM

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. 



CAROUSEL Closing 9/16  Aug 9 2018, 01:09:12 PM

As a huge R&H fan, I am disappointed that this production turned out to be such a dud.



Love Never Dies tour  Aug 9 2018, 01:07:40 PM

Adam Chris said: "I thought the tour set was beautiful to look at and the music astounding...however, the story is flawed and a tad boring."

Ditto. I thought the sets, costumes and actors were amazing but the book is just...not good.



Riedel on the growing hype for Moulin Rouge!  Aug 3 2018, 03:28:23 PM

Ha. Funny, I missed her when she was in Hamilton as well.

Rock of ages tenth anniversary tour  Jul 20 2018, 09:48:22 PM

Any word on whether this is equity or not? Detroit has tickets on sale for January and they are only in the $45 range.

 

ETA: never mind, found a link that confirms non equity. I don’t think I have seen a non equity show before, wondering if it would be worth it. 



How do you feel about theatre-goers who rush the same show constantly?  Jul 16 2018, 10:43:10 AM

I feel the same way I feel about people who see movies multiple times. In short, I really don't care. 



Lion King Tour Update?  Jul 11 2018, 11:14:41 PM

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
