Almost always. Sometimes from a sad part, sometimes from a happy part, sometimes because the choreography and the music and the voices meld together perfectly and my body is desperate to be up there with them... as someone else mentioned, theater is about heightened emotions and I relate to that completely. If it makes me FEEL something, utterly and completely, it's going to get me going, eve if that feeling is elation rather than sorrow.
There's a lot of great ideas here that I'd love to see, but my "white whale" is consistently Movin' Out. I saw it at Pantages in college and LOVED the choreography. I didn't know anything about the show before going (comp tickets were a great perk of my school) but had been dancing for many years at that point and that show stuck with me. I know it's just another jukebox musical, but there's not a whole lot on Broadway currently where dance is the focus, so I
I'm honestly so excited about this. It's going to be ridiculous and I'm going to love every second of it. It comes out the day before my birthday, too. I'm visiting the bay area that weekend for a birthday concert and a day-after-birthday Angels in America @ Berkeley Rep marathon, but I'm thinking of flying to visit my mom the next week and seeing this with her. We saw the first one together and had a great time PLUS there's actually a production going on where she liv

I saw it the other night and felt the same way. It was on our long list for a recent NYC trip, but got nixed pretty early on. I liked the film/recording a lot, and I appreciated a lot of the jokes as a HP fan, but it felt a little tumblr-y. I get that it's fan se
Has anyone heard any updates on this? I regretted not getting a particular piece when I was there and my friend who was in town after me who said he'd get it for me, somehow couldn't figure out the schedule. I keep checking the regular sites but am getting bummed as it seems like they won't be making an online store since they haven't done so yet.

And while I want to be reasonable and go for row C or something...I'm realizing now that there's a part of me that's gonna have a hard time buying a ticket for multiple rows back when I have the option to be as close as possible. I know I don't want AA but man..BB or A are getting more tempting...ugh lol
JudyDenmark said: Thank you for the validation! I just switched my ticket... and while the premium price is giving me heart palpitations, I feel like this is a show where it'll be worth it. Very excited to see it from Row A, seat 108!
(And I hope things are better for you on the job front. Gotta love that kind of timing.)
Thanks! Things are looking up on the job front, but yeah... we were afraid we were going to have to use the ticket insurance we

(Also... I assume the box office will happily allow you to exchange tickets if you’re spending more money. But please correct me if I’m wrong.)
I'm thrilled to hear such a glowing review of this production! I actually just saw it in New York a couple weeks ago and was blown away. I thought seeing it at all, much less such a stellar version, was going to be a 'once in a lifetime' thing, then bam! I see a little blurb about this production!
I bought tickets for the final date as it's the day after my birthday. I was hemming and hawing about it, then saw that an old favorite band of mine is doing a little reunion
I sat pretty much right below that box seat when I saw it last weekend, maybe a seat closer to the aisle (D9, I believe). There's a small scene at the beginning where I could just barely make out EVERYTHING that was happening on stage right, but after that there was very little I missed. Those chairs and table on the side of the stage are used in two scenes, so you may miss part of that. Aside from stage right, there are a few scenes where there's a wall kind of down the middle of the
morosco said: "The whole stage door thing has become just plain creepy."
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's because him AS Hedwig was
I saw the matinee last Sunday 4/15 and thought David was.. okay. I saw the show on its recent tour and fell in love and had a spot to fill in my visit so my mom and I decided to get tix for this. I was excited to see Brady but was a little worried about Cook after reading this thread before I left for my trip. I thought he was stronger in the 2nd act than the first, and I agree that his acting was surprisingly good, but I just don't think his voice is dynamic enough for Broadway. You can

What's the current news on the earliest we should get there ona Saturday this time of year to be pretty much guaranteed tickets at for either show (not premium or SRO)?"
I'd been checking this thread for the last few months before my visit this past weekend and g
Hello all! Bumping this as there hasn't been any experience updates in quite a few weeks. Wondering whether anyone's tried the line or just walking up recently?
I'm getting into town this Wednesday in the early evening so, unless we get insanely lucky with the lottery or a last-minute Ticketmaster/Stubhub price drop for that evening, our first chance to see the show is Saturday afternoon (we've got Angels tix for Thursday and Friday). We're planning on stopping by t
I was also on the lookout for a rare window card and have been searching the past 4 years : ( BUT, one FINALLY came up a few weeks ago on ebay and I got it for $150. I wouldn't have spent that much if it weren't for the fact that they just never showed up anywhere, so I couldn't pass it up. It was the last one I needed for a set and, again, I'd been looking for YEARS.
I'd say keep looking, save the search in ebay to get notifications if one is posted, and honestly j
I posted about a couple I chatted with on the way home who sat back there. They said it was fine, but they had binoculars. I was in the 3rd row of the orch. I would 100% upgrade if you can."
So my mom and I are also going to be in the 3rd row on 4/12 & 4/13 (A 106 & 107). What did you think of that row? We bought the tickets so long ago that I'd forgotten that there were two rows in front of us (AA & BB) and had it in my head that we were in the very front
