Be More Chill Off-Broadway Jul 22

My theory is that the first week will be bad in terms of just a really rowdy audience and general disregard for standard NYC theatre etiquette and then the "fandom" will get dragged to hell and back for it and shamed into calming down haha.
I got my tickets for early September, super looking forward to it although I hope they have fixed the book. Really not impressed with how much they're using the Jeremy/Michael shipping in their marketing if they're just going to keep the same ending

A friend would like to see the show and I would love to see it again- not sure if I want to stand the whole time though. Had I not seen it yet, I would. Not sure if I should enter the lottery if it is for standing room."
The lottery is both partial view side orchestra, the front row, and standing room. You aren't told in advan

My reason: Despite it being sold out through March 2019, there is a wave of "woke" teens who are slowly growing against it. I was actually just in a chat with 8 others who enjoy musicals aged 14-20 and they all said this musical is glorifying suicide and has many homophobic or generally dislikable statements ("School shooter chic&q
Dear Evan Hansen - Cancellation Line/Lottery/Ticketing Questions May 8
2018, 10:14:25 PM
Oh! I'll give a few reports: on a Wednesday last month my friend's boyfriend went at 9AM and was the first person there and more people began to line up at 9:20. He got 2 standing room tickets, I don't know what else happened.
Thursday May 3rd me and a friend lined up at 8AM and no one else ever arrived, we tried to get three standing room tickets (one for another friend), and we were told they only had two.
This past Saturday, the 5th, my friend went (I don't know when), and w

And all of you surprised about the OOTI shut out are quickly forgetting how much the Awards gifted DEH over Comet, which was by far the more creative and original of the two."

If they were talking about the Dear Evan Hansen stage door then they would be correct, but every other stage door I have been to hasnt had that rule (with the exception of some actors- Ingrid Michaelson at The Great Comet didn't take pictures). It will almost always
Saw this last night, an incredible experience and an absolutely engaging show. The space it's in is so perfect. As Klubby said it's hard to categorize or describe... It's such a genuine and intense story, the musical numbers and the narration of it and the scenework are all so well put together into just this thing ive just. Never experienced before. As an autobiographical story there are some parts that seemed rushed for the narrative or points that didn't seem to fit in perf
DEH worth it? Mar 21

I'd echo that the "worth" is really up to your discretion. I paid $270 max to see the show (with MLB as Evan, horrible stubhub ticket) and then saw it three more times (from $135-213, Ben twice and Taylor once), as a big fan of the show and score I have found it worth it every time and will likely go again, even at the $135+ range. But this is just me, and it really depends on how interested you are in the show.
A Word About Rachel Bay Jones Mar 18

I missed out on RBJ the first time I saw Dear Evan Hansen, and so the second time I saw it, when she was in, it was like a revelation. I feel blessed to of seen her incredible performance two more times since, and I think she will be the hardest to replace in the cast. Her energy in the role is incredible and she brings so much to it. I am in shock any time anyone says she robbed the Tony last year from any of the other nominees.

Should they still have rush later into the day?
Best Way to get Spongebob Tickets? Mar 14
2018, 01:41:43 PM
Me and two of my siblings want to get tickets to Spongebob either for tonight or tomorrow night, should they be at the TKTS booth and is that the best way to get them for cheap? Or would the box office have rush that we could just go to? I want to eat orchestra seats if we can get them for under $100 each.
Thanks for any advice/suggestions you guys migh have!
Rush for Sunday Matinee Mar 10
2018, 04:50:28 PM
I've never rushed Sunday specifically but I think it would vary wildly amongst shows. Research specific shows (just google "-show name- rush" and you'll probably get a thread with info) to figure out demand. Most (if not all?) box offices open at 12 on Sunday, so any weekday information might be able to be pushed forward a couple hours.
Spongebob and the Play that Goes Wrong are two shows that I am pretty sure have "walk up any time before showtime" sort of rush. I've done Come From Awa

It frustrates me to no end, because, although I do think they are talented composers, their scores and lyrics are absolutely nothing special and quite repetitive. They are just brilliant in pandering to the mainstream audience AND finding collaborators whose works are much better than theirs (Chazelle for ‘La La Land’; Levenson’s boo
MrsSallyAdams said: "It's odd to have three gay prom musicals at once with PROM QUEEN THE MUSICAL (gay man wants to bring his boyfriend to the prom) in Canada and EVERYBODY'S TALKING ABOUT JAMIE (gay man wants to go to the prom in drag) alongside this one. The premise for this one is odd enough (out of work actors protest on behalf of a lesbian banned from the prom) that I'm surprised it's the one going to Broadway."
qolbinau said: "Do they have genuine ethical concerns or is this a convenient out-clause for an impending disaster?"
To clarify - you're questioning if their hearts are in the right place concerning not wanting to show off a sexual abuser's work or if this is just a convenient way to look good while cancelling a production that wasn't coming along well? Because I am a little wary as well- the allegations against Woody Allen are not new
gcpcs said: "michaelhale said: "I rushed today, arrived at 8:30 to be 11th in line, got 2 standing room (which we wanted). 12th in line was the last to get any tickets, they arrived shortly after we did."
whoa. how come only 12 people got seats counting SRO AND actual seats?
both times i tried SRO tickets, they sold about 10-15 rush tickets and about 30 SROs (15 for each performance)."
Dollypop said: "Yes, I understand that. However, I found out that there had been no dress rehearsal. What we saw was an Invited Dress, only we paid."
I think this is a reasonable complaint. Even if you did enjoy the night I can imagine feelin a little taken advantage of with this. You got to see her first real, full run in the role, though, which is kind of cool in its own right!
