Anybody going to see Ben Crawford in Phantom tonight?  Apr 26 2018, 11:20:13 AM

Saw Ben a few nights ago! What a voice! His MOTN was gorgeous- the second I heard his voice in the dressing room, I thought "oh man, this is gonna be good!" He has kind of a JOJ vibe to him, vocally, which I love. He also did the pseudo accent in PONR really well, which I really liked. The man can sing, so I am thrilled they upgraded from their last long term Phantom. I enjoyed it MUCH more than Barbour, and a friend I brought with me agreed that this is a major step

HELLO, DOLLY! Sets August 25 Closing Date; Bette Midler to Return July 17  Apr 20 2018, 07:38:55 AM
Wow. The only thing I can say is I am shocked. I certainly expects this to run much longer, it’s such a wonderful production.

I have tickets for next week! Very excited to see him- I’m trying to go in with basically a blank slate. I think I did see him in Charlie, but I blocked most of that show from my memory.

No, there are no fees.



I’m curious, does anyone think that when you pick up your tickets has any effect on where the seats are? They say you can pick the. Up any time on the day of the show, so if I show up righ when the box office opens do you think I will get better seats?


Love Never Dies Broadway 2019??  Apr 17 2018, 11:32:09 PM

Theatrefanboy1 said: "Any idea if it did come to broadway if they would get Ramin and Sierra to perform or would they just get the tour cast. (I mean only in my dreams would Crawford and brightman star) "

I believe Ramin has said he’s done with the role. If it does come, I’d hope they get someone else. I’m sick of the rabid Rierra fanaticism.

BwayLB said: "I'm not a Phan really since I don't ususally go to a show for some little bitty scares. But it won't surprise me if instead of a limited engagement, the Majestic decides to close the original to make room for Love Never Dies. 3 decades is long of a run. Maybe too long"

Uh, if this happened I would be floored. Phantom isn't at the level of Wicked or Lion King in terms of gross of potential, but it stil


Love Never Dies Broadway 2019??  Apr 17 2018, 09:01:57 AM
I am not a fan in the least of the show, but I’d be vaguely interested to see what they reworked from the Australian production, having seen the London version live and the DVD. But I’m close enough to the city that I’d have to travel far to catch the tour, so the only way I would get to see it is if it comes here. Hopefully with a lotto...

I’m not sure if it coming would be a mark of it’s success or just a sign that ALW will never let LND die. I don’t know the numbers of other produc

It's normally the alternate on Weds evening and Saturday matinees, but that's always subject to schedule changes. 



What should I see tomrrrow  Apr 12 2018, 10:29:57 AM

Lot666 said: "Ken6 said: "2 shows i was considering was Chicago or Phantom.. since we never seen them.. "

If you've never seen Phantom, this is a good time to do so. They're in between "announced" leads right now (Peter Joback is gone and Ben Crawford hasn't started yet), so you'll very likely get Laird Mackintosh in the title roleand he is superb (very much in the Michael Crawford vein). If for some reason he's out


Non-Replica Phantom  Apr 6 2018, 11:48:19 AM
Im vaguely surprised Sweden is doing another production so soon, didn’t they just have the replica on in Stockholm recently? I admittedly don’t know much about the theater culture there or how often productions tend to run or return there.

I’ve only seen the new tour live as far as non replicas go, but I’ve always found myself disappointed when I see the new designs.

Sure, there are always interesting things that are changed, but Maria Björnson essentially designed a perfect

singerunlimited said: "Sorry to bump an old thread! I didn't want to start a new one for this small question.

The last few days, when I've attempted to enter the Phantom lottery (between 7-9 AM), it's said that tickets were not available. Does this happen when performances are mostly sold out? Do they sell the seats normally reserved for lottery seats in these situations?
"

That usually happens around busy times of the year. It’s still spr


...JESUS CHRIST SUPERSTAR LIVE Discussion Thread  Apr 1 2018, 11:17:52 PM
Really enjoyed it. Lots of opinions but overall, it was great. Here are a few random thoughts I jotted down.

Thought John Legend held his own (wanted more from his gethsemane but alas).

Sara was great. Absolutely loved her and I’m thrilled they included Could We Start Again Please?

I wasn’t super into BVD until Superstar.

I thought King Herrod’s Song fell kind of flat. I wanted it to be bigger and showy-er I guess?

Norm and Jin Ha were AMAZING. <

Is there any word yet on how long Fontana is in this? I don't want to miss my chance to see him



Phantom matinee question  Mar 15 2018, 09:25:01 AM

upinlights said: "Hi all-- not totally sure if this is the right place to ask this, but I just searched "phantom matinee" and hoped I would find a thread. But it is a phantom matinee question! So, I'm going to the city next thursday with 5 friends, and we're hoping to see the matinee of phantom. We don't want to shell out the cash to pay in advance. Would it be better to rush (we can get to the city as early as about 11), or hope we can get a good deal at tkts?

Front Mezz is my favorite view of this show, and I've also seen it more than most people would consider sane. Front mezz isn't bird's eye at all



LOVE NEVER DIES - US Tour  Mar 12 2018, 09:38:03 PM

Mister Matt said: "I assumed that the line "I stole to your side, tormented by my choice"was in reference to leaving with Raoul in the final lair, and then after said moonlessnight thatthey discuss, the Phantom left and at some point faked his death?

I don't think that's what the line means. It sounds like she was tormented leaving Raoul just before they're wed to return to the Phantom.
"

Hmm. For me, I was not sure why

Hannah Epperson said: "Forgive me if you guys have already discussed this--was anyone else thrown by the changes to the lyrics in Beneath a Moonless Sky? In the London version the Phantom says Christine found him "in that time when the world thought me dead." But in the Australia version, Christine thought he was dead, too, and it's never quite specified WHEN she sought out the Phantom. She does day she was "tormented by [her] choice," but she had already chos

Anyone who is on a Broadway message board shouldknow proper terminology. Seriously.

Broadway shows have CAST RECORDINGS

Films/Movies/Motion Pictures/TV Showshave SOUNDTRACKS

Sigh... I’m so sorry I made such a catostrphic misuse of a word that rendered my point invalid... nobody could possibly understand what I mean
