I have not typically got “cheap” seats from going to the box office right before a play (and we do it many times) but you can get great seats this way if you’re willing to pay. Like someone else said, they will charge your regular seat prices for the premium seats that aren’t sold but I haven’t had they discount a center Orch seat as an example. It all depends on the show too. You can also get good seats AND a cheaper tickets by going to the TKT
Haven’t gotten around to read all the comments in this thread...I was never a fan of the original production and didn’t have high expectations for another Fox musical but I watched it. I was moved at some of the scenes. It was a reminder of that time that people with HIV/AIDS didn’t have hope and the government had abandoned them. The reach that TV has is immeasurable. Some kid in some small town might have gotten a chance to see the show and feel tha

It looked like a costume kind of like Carol Burnett would wear. Did she sing a song dressed like this? Was this bit cut too for time??"
Sounds like Laverne - a character Cher played on both the Sonny and Cher Comedy Hour andthe Cher shows.
I finally caught this show this past Wednesday Matinee. I know it was a matinee and to be expected but most of the audience was the elderly and gay men. Showed up at the BO at 1:10 and snagged a 5th row center seat. There appeared to be a number of empty seats about me. The third row looked mostly empty.
I thought the opening was definitely cheesy and was going to be a two hour Cher Tribute concert led by a drag queen (who was a woman) but not long after I total
Saw this tonight, I really wanted to love it, but thought it was mostly mediocre. The only two good songs were the ones a friend sang. Glad I saw it but it would never work on Bway.

I got them for my husband for Christmas last year so he waited a long time for the payoff. It was worth it though. JKR has a way with telling a story. We read all the books a while ago and rewatched the movies this past summer and I think it really helps with the story line. I can't imagine not knowing anything and seeing it, I think I'd be lost.

My friend lost her husband several years ago and when the first act curtain fell, my friend was in tears. Kinda proving the point that Dolly is so much more than a musical comedy. Miss Buckley was very moving in that last speech before Parade. And the woman critic in Cleveland
SomethingPeculiar said: "Not a new problem, but WHY are non-Broadway shows continuing to be listed under "Broadway"?? The Hungarian Opera &Ballet, American Ballet Theatre, City Center shows, etc. may be larger venues, but theyare not Broadway...
Also, it used to save preferences (i.e., Broadway would always show up first for me) but that doesn't seem to be an option now."
I've noticed the same thing. When I would like on a categ
I finally caught this yesterday at the matinee and thought it was lovely. Not the best thing I've ever seen or the most creative but it was enjoyable. I hadn't seen the movie but knew the story.
I did think there were a lot of songs and only the ones from the movie stick out. I also liked the set. it was simple which would be easy to tour with and I didn't mind the projections. They did remind me of a Disney show though and the "Swan L
Finally got around to seeing this last night. It was exactly what I expected. It was fun and bad. I kept waiting for Cher to arrive and when she did (a bit long in the film) she didn’t disappoint and her song was probably the best one in the film. The remixes I’ve heard in some clubs are amazing. The rest of the songs were just meh and actually seeing Donna hook up with these guys (as opposed to hearing about it in the first Mamma Mia film/play)
Phantom of London said: "I agree Westways is great.
Being in Hell’s Kitchen is it a bit cheaper than Times Square area? Also isn’t it a favourite for theatre employees cast and backstage? As it’s out of the way of the tourists."
Yes, def. You’d be surprised how much the prices change from 8th ave to 9th Ave. All the stores, including Rite Aid and DR have higher prices than elsewhere. Westway Diner has also be featu
