Anyone know who sings the cover of "Enjoy the Silence" they use (very well, I thought) in the back half of the production?
Anyway, saw this last night and loved it -- all three really seem to be firing on all cylinders. Plenty of empty seats along the sides in the Orchestra for an early Wed. curtain. Didn't stick around to see the madhouse of stagedoor.

Ok, but the standby is ALSO a lottery. It's a daily standby lottery. There will be no in person standby line, it's all digital. Which is nice, you don't have to show up ridiculously early for regular standby line in the hope you&#
I always jump when gunshots happen even when they are telegraphed. The biggest offender, which was for effect, was The Public's "Office Hour" in 2017 -- if the theater had not been in basically a blackout, I would have left but instead just shivered in my seat.
Interested if others are also a squirmy as I am when you see actors holding guns on stage, even if not fired. I am from the South and grew up around guns and being told the importance of safety, etc. But still, whe
If the show is actually at Lincoln Center Theater (any of the three stages), I've ALWAYS been asked to show ID at the box office. That said, the stuff that they send to other house (specifically Falsettos and Mockingbird), I didn't have to. I imagine if they ask at Mockingbird, they'll take whatever ID you give them as long as it has your name.
What a strange coincidence -- I just read about this in Sam Wasson's bio of Bob Fosse today on the train (I knew most of the story already)! The newscaster talking over probably wasn't that unusual, but in the book, Wasson notes that Fosse was there and that the show was so well received (I believe he says it had 10 curtain calls) that the audience's clapping and whooping drowned out Merrick's announcement, so the news station probably missed the full audio too.
I'm working on a paper/article and figured I'd tap into this great community for a little help. This season has seen heavy use of live video in productions on Broadway (The Cher Show, Network, The Nap, Oklahoma!) and I'm wondering if anyone can think of historical examples of live video used on Broadway. I have a pretty good deal of research/examples of stuff Off-Broadway but I'm buried in results because video (and even "live video" ) is a pretty common boolean
I have the lone Linctix for the night before opening but am not going to be able to use it. Figured I'd see if any LincTix members that haven't booked yet want it (so I can have to traded at the box office).
Saw this last night and while I can't use the word "enjoy" to describe my feelings, it was very powerful and Washington gives an outstanding performance of a mother at her wits end. All the actors were great, actually.
That said, I've never had a worse experience in a theater in my life. A woman in front of me was drunk and had obviously not read up on what the play was about. During the entire first hour she wouldn't stop shaking her head about the subject matter
Was there last night, and I thoroughly enjoyed the evening. Heartbreaking, but funny nonetheless. I really loved all the performances, and I thought Hedges was quite good (Allen and May were fantastic). Did TDF, set dead center in row L.
Whoever mentioned the audience, I cannot agree more about how badly behaved many were. But I almost ripped my own ears off my head due to the squawking hearing aids during Act 2. The fact that no one near the offenders said anything drove me to think m
My Dolly evening ticket on 2/21 was Orchestra, middle of house right. Other than the tall-ish man in my line of sight two rows ahead, was a great seat, especially for the price.
I somehow missed the announcement of this even on Feb. 2 at 11:30 p.m. And now it's sold out! If anyone has two tickets they ultimately decide they don't need/want, please reach out. Cheers!
The OOTI deal was pretty solid -- it wasn't cheaper (at least not by more than a few dollars) than the bottom end of the non-discounted price, but the seats are better. I had been looking to go on a Tuesday and had avoided pulling the trigger because the $89 tickets were back row and in a weird spot. For Broadway Week, the $80-ish tix were more plentiful and in better places.
Regarding if they sold out or not -- I saw the rollout Friday, checked Telecharge and walked over to the th
