Good Magic Shows in NYC? May 8
2018, 02:49:47 AM
I’ll second In and of Itself - on paper, a one-man-show with no helpful plot description other than it having illusions didn’t appeal a ton to me, but I went for free with school and it had the Neil Patrick Harris name attached and all that. I wound up loving it and am looking forward to going back this summer if I can, and the illusions/magic are definitely a huge huge part of why I loved it so much, so I think it fits what you’re looking for. You’ll leave asking far more questions than when yo
What would have made Frozen Better May 8

I personally really loved the show, so I’m definitely not commenting negative here - but I think it would’ve been so fun if Olaf had a huge tap number at the top of Act 2 or just somewhere in there. They could’ve expanded In summer for sure and it would’ve been amazing to see, but not essential so I get why it isn’t there. Also: would be a much better experience overall if they followed their no children under 8 “policy”....
I posted on one of the angels threads a week or so ago about my experience - I had gone for rush but got there after they ran out, and was instead offered a discounted full-view non-rush seat for $198. I took it and it hurt my bank account but I never regretted it for such a beautiful show, and when I got there, the seat was AMAZING. Anyway. I'm posting again because I just checked ticketmaster, and..............
They gave me a HUGE discount. The women at the box office said it was
I don't know about any announced rush policy, but I asked the box office two weeks ago and they said they'd definitely do standing room for any performances that sold out - but maybe not during previews / til after it opened. Since the theater is small, despite ticket sales, I wouldn't be surprised if most performances sold out mid-day and standing room became available pretty easily early afternoon - at least I'm hoping.
I admit that I don't know much about the show critically, only a quick glance at a summary when I first heard about it, but the cast looks amazing and I've been trying to see more plays this season as they're definitely what's been standing out, at least for me. However, broke college student and all that.....but I stopped by the box office last week and they said they're definitely doing standing room for this show, just probably not til after opening night, so I'm ho
I also agree. I went alone on Saturday and have never had a better theater experience in my life. Also, this show had one of the best audiences I've ever been a part of - every intermission I had someone to chat with and everyone was very friendly, excitedly saying they'd see me after the dinner break, etc. Probably because everyone there was there for 8 hours and clearly wanted to be there rather than the tourists and "I'll check it out I guess" people at more standard
anyone rushed lately?? I'm planning on trying for both parts on saturday and will report back but wouldn't mind some more recent reports about arrival times locations etc.

Probably no chance if any, I got there around 7:30am last time I rushed and standing room sold out right away - granted, that was January, not march, but I can't imagine any being left past 10am

I also got it at 2:55, so I’m guessing they’re sending it out at a specified time each day in waves rather than more spread out, so I wouldn’t spend all say checking your phone, but who knows. Now I just have to figure out who to bring with me, but I have so many friends that would want to....this can’t end well.....

according to my playbill: Act 1 scene 1: morning 1-minute pause scene 2: evening, three days later 15 min intermission Act 2 scene 1: The next morning 1-minute pause scene 2: Evening. a week later I remember it being really nicely done, the text they displayed was clever / funny and long enough that reading it took most of the time, and it was a nice minute to process and (very quickly) chat with those around you but it didnt necessarily interrupt the f

Thank you - I did! He hasn’t tweeted in 3 days so I figured he wouldn’t see it but he answered really quickly lol good for him for being so great w that. His last show is November 2nd :)
Agree that the early start was frustrating. I saw an item thats pretty rare and that I really wanted around 9:30, they only had 2 of them, so I asked if they knew how much it’d be and when they’d open. Was rudely told they wouldn’t be priced or sold until 10, but I figured that’s fair, so I went to take cash out and came back to wait around quarter of. got there to see them selling the last one to someone else, despite their insistence of 10 oclock. I was cru
Exactly. Romantic B-plots are basically the foundation of the b-plot, and are often great - sometimes it adds something nice, (She Loves Me, Illona and Kodai act as a foil to Amalia and Georg in a way), and sometimes it ties into the plot (Joanna and Anthony in Sweeney)but lots of times they are thrown in for the sake of it. Some modern examples:
-Nancy and the cameraman from Groundhog Day, although this was pretty minor
I managed to find the Groundhog day script not at jujamcyn but a table over from anastasia, that’s where most of them were, they had around 15. They started selling early, I got mine at around 9:20, so that’s why they went so fast. I know the closed show table had one or two and maybe jujamcyn got them later? I’m also the person that dropped an arm and a leg on Andy’s signed GHD hat but no regrets I’m crazy happy with it! Didn’t get much else after buy
Here's my (almost..) complete quote poster! I got the entire cast including swings, as well as Danny Rubin, Matthew Warchus, and Tim Minchin. Only person missing is gerard, who i met several times but never a day I had the poster. Hoping he goes to flea or bwaycon so it can be completed. Everyone wrote their favorite show quotes except kevin, who told me
