I like this, I didn't enjoy it as much as I wanted to - but I did think it was worth it.
I found Ridloff to be outstanding, but was less impressed with Jackson. His role, to be fair, is a monstrosity and I just don't think he was quite talented enough to pull it off. I found his emotions to genuine, but it really takes a special actor to pull off all the "translating"
Once again I benefit from all you wonderful people on these boards...really glad people here convinced me to get a ticket to this when I travel this June. Looking forward to it!
Frankly, I wouldn't. I found the writing to be flat and verging on fanfiction, and reading it honestly made me question whether I'd bother seeing the show at all, until the reviews started coming in from London and NYC from critics and theatergoers. From my understanding (since I'm not seeing it in person until next year) the performances and full theater experience are what makes the play come to life and elevates the writing to a new level. (YMMV of course - I know some people w
Once on this Island - Seating Recommendations? Apr 23
2018, 07:22:54 PM
I see a lot of people referencing the odd-200s. I have a seat for Row AA 206...for lack of a better way to phrase it, will I have a good view? (It looked like it from the few photos I could find, but would love to hear from someone who has actually been.)
Alex172005 said: "A couple of things: 1. Is row B too close? I have row F orchestra tickets on the far left aisle, and I can get row B 2-3 seats from center aisle. Which do you all think would be better.
2. Are they still giving full refunds on returned tickets?
Thanks!"

Picked up one of the $40 seats in Balc Row F for St. Patrick's Day next year. We had seats acquired during an earlier ticket release for this May, but returned them due to the price point. Wasn't a fan of the script at all when it came out (read far too fanfiction-y for me), but between the reviews and the comments on this board figure it's worth seeing due to the performances/"magic".

I agree and it kinda bums me out. I considered doing it for Angels in America just because I'm a huge fan of the show, but decided not to in the end because, while the cast was phenomenal, they weren't the reason I saw the show. The play itself was the star of it for me. I've only ever done the stage door when JCM reprised his role as Hedwig, and that&#
Did Courtney Reed have a cold when recording the Aladdin OBCR? Apr 18
2018, 06:25:37 AM
She was terrible when we saw her - notes all over the place and completely bungled A Whole New World. I couldn’t believe she was part of the OBC when I first read it, but thought she might just have been having an off night. Sad to hear the cast recording isn’t much of an improvement.

I think they just want to fill the theater in case very few people buy mezz or balcony seats when upgrading to the much better orchestra seats doesn't cost too much given the pricingthese days."
Very true. I've seen that in the past, but was just struck by the sheer volume that suddenly appeared - seemed like they easily hel
Dancingthrulife2 said: "The stage is not high at all. The first row offers quite a fantastic view and you'll get the best view to appreciate Ridloff's signing, which is the one of the best things this play has to offer."
Awesome! Great to hear. Snagged four seats in that row. It looks like a TON of tickets were released for our date, so I'm wondering if they withheld seats for some reason (make it look like it was selling better?) - either that or there w
How is the stage height here? We were originally seated in the back mezz but seats in the front orchestra opened up and we thought we'd benefit from swapping. The photos I've seen on View From My Seat make it seem like one of the lower stages I've seen, but always better to get a first-hand perspective from someone.
Patash said: "When I bought my ticket there were a lot of seats in the front row of the mezzanine, but very few in orchestra. I recall the Booth stage is very high and I once sat in front row of orchestra and although I'm 6 feet tall I could barely see onto the stage and lost them when they were upstage. But I LOVE the front row mezzanine of the Booth. Have you checked that? That's what I got and am looking forward to it."
So it looks like I'll be trying to catch The Boys in the Band while in town. The date I can go, the two main choices seem to be either the front row Orch Right (BB) Seat 6, or back in Center Orchestra Row K.
Does anyone know how the angle is from the front side seats in the Booth? There's one close-ish example on View From My Seat, but not much else to go on. Or would I be better served just doing Row K? Would love to do premium seats but just can't swing it at th

I've already seen them all (and I agree, they were all incredible) :)
Finalizing show choices for June Apr 10
2018, 02:34:17 PM
So I’m headed into NYC in June for a quick weekend trip. I’m already seeing Three Tall Women and Once on This Island during that time, but have two spots left to fill. Of the following, what would you choose?
Chicago (never seen it on stage, only the film) Kinky Boots Mean Girls (Only thought the film was so-so) The Iceman Cometh Wicked (never seen it, but only a couple songs from the album grab me) The Boys in the Band
Can anyone speak a little to the Mobile Ticketing for this show? I have mobile seats for May, but this is my first time using that option. Do you just get one QR code on your phone for all the seats, or is it individual ones you scroll through for them to scan (like with pdfs)?
