gavin creel back injury  Feb 23 2018, 11:16:17 AM

I have to second how wonderful Christian Dante White was. As a Gavin Creel fan, I was really disappointed to not see him again, but the understudy did a fantastic job! I expect to see him a lot in the next few years, hopefully in his own starring role.

I wonder when Santino will start rehearsals. I saw him watching the show from the standing room slots on Wednesday night.



THE PROM to Open on Broadway in November 2018  Feb 9 2018, 02:50:59 PM

The fact that Bob Martin is involved has intrigued me since I first heard about it. I've been waiting for a follow up to The Drowsy Chaperone for years.

Christopher Sieber's involvement is also a real draw for me.

I'm just crossing my fingers that they've worked a bit from Atlanta and it'll be a strong fun show. It'll be all about the execution for this one.



Broadwaycon - concerned about schedule  Jan 26 2018, 11:38:47 AM

Would their issues with the actors union last year be an issue? I went the first two years, but last year was rather disappointing as a lot of the performances were cancelled because the union wouldn't allow it.

It's one of the reasons why I'm not going this year. As someone that goes to a lot of cons, the price seems outrageous. At least lots of performances made up for that a bit.



Why no Gilbert and Sullivan Revivals?  Jan 9 2018, 10:11:48 PM

About 10 years ago now the Huntington Theater did a show called Pirates! Plundered which I adored. It was very much in the Pirates of the Caribbean heyday and really reflected that with a barely veiled Jack Sparrow as the pirate king.

It was a marvelous production and I adored the Caribbean feel they gave the score. I would kill for a audio recording!

I gather that the one or two big review venues in Boston didn't love it and so it never made it to New York.



HARRY POTTER AND THE CURSED CHILD to Take the Lyric Theatre in 2018  Oct 16 2017, 02:51:00 PM

Both me and my wife got standby. I wonder what the odds were of getting a code...

Hopefully I can snag one of those Friday Forty tickets.



Rodgers Theater Seat Size  Sep 23 2017, 08:17:44 PM

I definitely WOULDN'T recommend the mezzanine seats, though the front row might be fine as someone mentioned. I found these seats to be the smallest in an Broadway theater. I'm a fairly small person and when I sat down I immediately thought "Oh, well this is snug." I rented out my seat space to the elbows of the people on either side of me.

My wife even said that if there was ever a show that she was going to see in the Rogers to remind her horrible it was so she woul

I highly recommend this show! It's really funny, very cute, and if you are a HP fan who was into the fandom during the heydays, you have to see this show.



Mandy Patinkin to join THE GREAT COMET as Pierre for 3 week run!  Jul 26 2017, 01:35:52 PM

I wouldn't be surprised if Patinkin was supposed to take over after Oak's original tenure, but then his schedule changed he told them that it had to be earlier or not at all. Personally I'm excited to see Patinkin but I feel bad for poor Oak.

I wonder if they would ask/be able to get Oak back after Patinkin is done. It seems like a hard role to cast for.

I was there last night with 2 others (3 tickets total), and we were in the front mezzanine section on the right, in row E. Great view!

Loved seeing Dave Molloy, Ingrid Michaelson, and even the standby Anatole was great!



DAVID COTE Out at TIME OUT  Apr 27 2017, 01:37:17 PM

Oh no! I absolutely adore David Cote's reviews and I tell everyone that I can about how he's my favorite. I guess there won't be a reason for me to pick up TimeOut anymore.

I hope he still does reviews for OnStage, which also been going downhill. Le sigh. Maybe someone else will snatch him up.



The Official TDF Thread  Apr 17 2017, 01:45:00 PM

When I saw Indecent I was in the 3 row in the orchestra on the right (2 from the end). I didn't have any problems seeing anything and heartily recommend seeing it.

For The Play That Goes Wrong, we were in the mezzanine, row G I believe, slightly to the side. Really wonderful seats. Of course, if you go, make sure to get early for some extra time with the actors.



OSLO Previews  Apr 6 2017, 12:59:31 PM

I saw it on Tuesday and absolutely adored the play. I was a little hesitant at the length, but I didn't feel like it dragged at all. However, I had heard about the 2 intermissions and then was really surprised when there was only one! I thought having the 1 intermission didn't harm the play, and I admit to being rather pleased that I got out at 10:55. It still made for a long night.

I was so pleasantly surprised at the humor in this play. I was expecting something a bit more dr


PRESENT LAUGHTER Previews  Mar 16 2017, 11:57:30 AM

I was so excited to get tickets for this show on the first night because of the seemingly talented cast list,  and I thought it was a classic I hadn't encountered before.  Oh how disappointed I was! I even regretted buying my discounted tickets.

I couldn't believe how dull and boring the first act was. My friend who attended with me (who shall remain nameless) fell asleep multiple times and eventually left at intermission. Of course, the sound might've also been a


For sale: One Sweeney Todd ticket for Sunday, March 16th  Mar 16 2017, 11:15:28 AM

Hello everyone!

Due to a friend making last minute travel plans because of the  snow, I now have an extra ticket available for Sweeney Todd for this Sunday evening, March 19th. The seat is in row E and was one of the seats marked "partial view", apparently because you have to turn around in your seat.

I'm selling it for $91, just the usual ticket price and the fee. I'm hoping that I can place it in a good home, because otherwise I'll have to take my wi
