I sat in last row of the mezzanine, brought my opera glasses (no one cares-I often bring them), used them a few times, but really didn't need them-just got in the way of enjoying the interplay of the trio. As others have mentioned, the Golden is one of the smallest theaters and, for me, everything (including facial expressions) projected to the literal back of the house. Other threads extrapolate about the gift this show is--but don't read to much, just go and enjoy.
In case it was not noticed by most, a reminder that the video was directed by Ezra Hurwitz, not Timbers. Would surmise that this emanated from the marketing department to get a tease out quickly and is not reflective of nor does it reveal Timbers' vision of the show. I would assume that is under wraps. I have observed that Ezra Hurwitz's work, in general, is somewhat perfunctory, not at all awe inspiring or challenging either visually or narratively, so don't know if anything can

checked my box and nothing there - I also checked settings to make sure PM is on. Have to run but will try PMing you tonight and see if we can connect that way.
Don't know if this is helpful or sacrilege re deciding about TBV (or possibly someone else already mentioned it in this thread) but if time permits you could always rent the movie on Netflix or stream it - and if hubby finds it engaging, he would likely love the musical. I did not see the movie until after I saw the musical, I liked the movie, but really loved the musical. It takes the element of "surprise" out of it but half of shows on Broadway wouldn't be in busines

For me, Sutton's strength is the personality that she infuses into her characters but in a concert, it's just one song into the next and we don't get the same amount of personality. Even though their banter was cheesy, I enjoyed the duet with Jonathan Groff the most."
My exact thoughts. As to the duet with JG, for me, they knew the banter was cheesy -- and watching them sell it was part of the fun. <

Wow. Though a tale of long, long ago, your story is a perfect example of obnoxious and entitled fan behavior that most on this thread frown upon.
Even after all these years you are happy to pass off your rude behavior as somethi

she has written recently on her Twitter account recently that the is "on her way to conquer some fears" so I bet she will return to Broadway.
Ippudo on West 51st if you like Japanese and especially ramen. Sit at bar. The entire staff yells hello to you in Japanese when you are seated. Never gets old. Tends to be crowded, leave yourself plenty of time. I've never made reservation and usually go before matinees - so not sure what dinner rez policy is.

bdn223, Tom Kitt attests to the appreciable bump you describe for Next to Normal in an article written by Patrick Healy in the New York Times at the time the show recouped.

According to Wikipedia, Lin is working on Marc Platt's Little Mermaid live adaptation. Word on the street is Lin is hoping Marc Platt will produce the In The Heights film after the Harvey debacle. Cozying up to Ben may get Marc to be more willing to open his wallet. It certainly worked for Pasek and Paul who won an Oscar for Platt's LA LA Land. Always follow the money."
IMHO, the flaw in this analysis is that I don't think Lin needs to cozy u
Has anyone seen this production in London that is coming to BAM in May? I have read the positive reviews and am about to buy tickets-- there anyone who has seen it and thinks that I shouldn't?
