Favorite Flop? Nov 22

Can't believe I'm the only person to say - Groundhog Day. I loved it. It was hilarious, the staging was very cool, the music was great, and Andy Karl was terrific. I still don't understand how it flopped, tbh.

I saw this last night and I thought it actually WAS Bat Out of Hell just with Queen music. Honestly, it's almost exactly the same "story" as it were (although possibly slightly more coherent.) The lead actually has an amazing voice, and the production i

Yes, he has been. A friend went a week or so ago, and Wayne Brady made a guest appearance.

Anyone have any idea if any of them usually perform for the 10pm shows? Judging my Lins twitter, it seems like hes usually out before 10."
Don't hold your breath hoping to see LMM - I think he's done at most a couple/handful of appearances at most, most notably the night

I will be traveling to NYC for a Sat-Sun weekend trip but considering if it'll be helpful for my probability (for lotto & cancelation line) to take off work so I can enter on Friday night too? I will be in town during Gideon's run and betting on crowds will be smaller too (hopefully!)."
Yes

Frankly, I don't understand people calling this confusing or a mess - it's not really that confusing - anyone should basically understand the show within a show concept, even if it's wrapped in "dream" - I missed Ricamora tonight as well, so I guess he's still out with this injury - but still found this musical to be quite engaging, clever, funny, and very well performed. The only thing I thought needed work was the lyrics which could use some help. Some of the pauses were a tad odd as well, bu

Also 2 slightly off topic things but, does anyone know for lotteries in general if they accept card/cash only? Does it depend on the box office? Had an issue 2 years ago when I won the Book of Mormon lottery using a card, but I don’t know if that was just bad luck. Also I posted this to the buy/sell board but if anyone

DoTheDood said: "Has anyone rushed this show since it moved to the New World Stage. I heard Avenue Q was an easy rush, but maybe it was just because it has been playing for so long."
It wasn't particularly hard during 20@20 (the show I went to during the week didn't even sell out), so I can't imagine regular rush would be all that difficult either.

The rush for $32 is only for this first weekend. After that, it goes to $42.

I'm surprised to see all of the teardowns and terrible reviews. The music and vocal performances were exceptional. Joshua Henry was very good. I thought it was worth seeing just for that. I thought the choreography was pretty great for a very bare set/stage. Is the story and characters sort of minimal? Sure. It's not Hamilton, but it's far from the disaster that other people in this thread seem to make it out to be.

Thanks! Now let's just hope it stays this way until October 12th haha"
I guess "winnable" depends on what your impresssion of the odds are. Sounds like it will remain 10 tickets every night, so essentially 5 winners if ever

Basically, there are staff stationed at the aisle entrances before you are seated and they are requiring that you hand over your phone (after setting it to silent/airplane mode) which they then seal into the Yondr pouch with a magnetic lock and then hand it back to you for you to hold during the show. This prevents you from accessing your phone during the performance. At the end of the show they are there at the theater aisle entrances/exits with the magnetic key to unlock the pouch so that yo

I won the lottery and sat first row center orchestra. It seems like the lottery seats are all the first two rows center orchestra. Great seats. That said, it really doesn't matter at all where you are sitting for this show as there are no sets or anything really, just 5 performers on stage and two musicians. The "best" seats are probably the acousti

For what it's worth, I was in the audience for last night's 10pm show and the theater was pretty much completely full. It was a great show, and the improv nature and rotating cast make it highly re-watchable since it's a new show every time. I don't think that it will have too much trouble selling seats.

Well JLP hasn't started yet, so it's hard to know, but those other two don't really offer you a lot of options and the ticket prices have been very high. I've seen scalpers consistently outside of Moulin Rouge, so you might be able to get something, but their seats are mostly pretty terrible. If you're limit

Unfortunately, I think it depends and is really on a show-by-show basis. It fluctuates wildly depending on what you want to see. Most shows I would imagine you wouldn't have too many issues, but it can change just based on the week you arrive.
