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.
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.
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.

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.

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

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."
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

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
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.

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.

-Can not be any happier with the winners: Celia, Andre,Stephanieand Bertie (He deserved it so much for Matilda!) finally get their Tonys. I love Santino (AHHH BABY GIRL!!!)and oh my gosh, Ali! You make us, the disability community, proud! My college self needed you so bad after I was convinced I could never be a theatre or acting major.
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
