A CHRISTMAS CAROL - Preview Thread  Dec 15 2019, 06:48:17 AM

SouthernCakes said: "I don’t get how there’s any partial view for this?"

The seat was A21in the Mezz.  I was in 23.  There is lighting cables that run right in front of the seat and most of the action is not in the trust but center stage.  I looked at the view from the seat at intermission and it was indeed blocked. Obviously she was right in that the house manager quickly agreed to put her in another seat. 
 



A CHRISTMAS CAROL - Preview Thread  Dec 13 2019, 02:31:00 PM

Don’t do a partial view.  The person next to me last night had one.  I felt so sorry for her.  She didn’t see anything center stage or stage right.  She complained at intermission and got the seat switched.  Pay for a great seat.  It is well worth it.

Broadway trip - Times Square/midtown hotels with no resort fees  Oct 22 2019, 06:26:55 PM

Marriott is actually being sued over resort fees.  I am the highest level of Marriott customer Platinum for Life, Ambassador, and when I check in I remind them of the lawsuit and tell them I will not pay resort fees. It is a way to show a lower price but charge more.  I have complained numerous times. 



THE LIGHTNING THIEF Officially Announces Broadway Run  Aug 12 2019, 03:56:43 PM

ardenton said: "Alex Kulak2 said: "They are actually gonna ask us to pay full price admission for a TYA show."

On Twitter they are saying that tickets are going to start at $39!


"

That's about 38.00 too much, it should be retitled, "Be More Lightning Thief."



Be More Chill and The Prom Closing Performances Thread  Aug 12 2019, 03:50:43 PM

LightsOut90 said: "So no one has started a thread for either and I always love reading peoples closing day experiences.

I revisited The Prom today and boy what an afternoon the show ran I think almost 8 minutes long due to applause.

I arrived early to a VERY long line of folks in show shirts and a group of ladies all wearing Apples & Bees custom shirts which were clever, not posting the link but if you look around it is online for purchase.

Last Performance Experiences  Aug 11 2019, 09:51:00 PM

Broadwaybri2 said: "Was anyone else at the prom today? I’ve never cried so much at a show that I’ve already seen multiple times?? It was my first closing performance of a show but that one felt particularly emotional.

Things that happened that were memorable:

- before the curtain went up they started with some chant I missed what they said but heard the word “bull****” i think?? Can anyone confirm?
- Beth level i believe waved from b

Moulin Rouge (pro) reviews  Jul 25 2019, 12:15:51 PM

Kad said: "Looking forward to reading these. I doubt Brantley will totally reverse his out-of-town rave, considering the show has not substantially changed aside from cutting a number."

I agree totally.  There was very little change from Boston, but I did miss the line about "Anatole and Pierre," which I thought was a cool tribute to "The Great Comet."



Wild Broadway Stories?  Jul 20 2019, 08:58:10 AM

I saw The original cast of “Wicked” and in the scene where Feyero runs on stage on the raked yellow brick road to see Glinda, Norbert Leo Butz feet flew out from under him and he slid down the yellow brick road in front of Kristin Chenoweth. She lost it and was hiding her face behind the big wand and was shaking with laughter.  The audience roared for several minutes and she just couldn’t pull it together.  Finally she looks from behind the wand with Butz on the fl

Ryan Murphy To Develop Film Adaptation Of THE PROM For Netflix  Jun 25 2019, 12:58:45 PM

Jordan Catalano said: "Because you’ve obviously never been starved to see someone “like you” represented on the screen by someone “like you”."

I agree with everyone of your thoughts on this and it will be offensive to me to see James Corden be a stereotype.  That is what annoys me.  Brooks and Sean Hayes can get away with it because they are poking fun at themselves.  And I love how everyone who hated this show is mak


Oklahoma! or What The Constitution Means To Me  Jun 24 2019, 12:15:18 PM

I loved  Oklahoma! Except that awful ballet at the start of the second act.   I would chose Constitution to see a second time.  



Cher show at the tonys performance  Jun 10 2019, 06:50:02 PM

I saw the show several months ago and then again last night at Radio City and it reinforced how awful this show is.  I have seen drag queens in Birmingham, Al do better versions of Cher.  God awful performance and  show.  



Ain't Too Proud ... Snubbed!  Jun 10 2019, 06:27:47 PM

dmwnc1959 said: "There’s just something that’s uncomplicated and boring about a juke box musical that has some history and choreography thrown in for good measure. I couldn’t be dragged to one when there are soooo many other, better, more inspired options on Broadway that took real skill and imagination to develop."

I totally agree. In my opinion Ain’t Too Proud is the worst musical next to Be More Chill this past season and I saw all of them.

The Prom, Tootsie or Burn This?  May 10 2019, 07:03:48 PM

Burn This was boring and I left at intermission. It was awful. I would Go with The Prom over Tootsie for sure. 



Understudy questions..  Apr 23 2019, 12:51:59 PM

I    have been at 3 shows where an understudy went on unexpectedly.   One was the most recent revival of Annie, the lead was changed at intermission.  At Matilda, they brought the curtain down about 30 minutes in and then announced that the lead for Matilda was being changed and it would resume in about 20 minutes.   The second time we saw The Great Comet, Denee Benton was replaced at intermission.  We sat on stage near a table that had water and she was con

Cher show or Prom?  Apr 15 2019, 04:31:34 PM

Definitely The Prom.  The Cher Show bored me to no end, especially act 2.  The Prom has great performances and is hysterical and sentimental.

KJisgroovy said: "Regarding the Post review... I find a lot of gaytheater folk are quite defensive or dismissive of any implication of "liberal" politics in their beloved musicals because it smashes the denial that their lifestyle is diametrically opposed to who they vote for... "HOW DARE YOU NOT CHANGE THE SCRIPT OF A CLASSIC, APOLITICAL MUSICAL AND STILL MAKE ME UNCOMFORTABLE!"It's just not possible to accept that those politics have always been present, jus
