Betrayal Seating Discussion Aug 16

Just picked up orchestra I20 for a date in September at $25 — the box office attendant said it was full view but I suppose I’ll find out
(Also, if anyone is interested in attending opening night, there were still some $59 tickets available when I checked.)
Living in New York, you’re bound to see a ton of famous folks around. I’ve seen a few theater actors around town. I saw Will Roland off of my subway stop. A while back when Ben Platt was still playing Evan Hansen, I saw Joel Grey during intermission. I held my breath and nodded at him. Then once—this is very embarrassing—I was at my retail gig and I looked up while at the register and saw Katrina Lenk. I forgot how to talk to people and immediately went “oh my go

If you bought them from Telecharge, you’ll get an email offering an exchange and saying your money will be automatically refunded. If you bought them at the box office, just go straight there with the tickets and they’ll refund them. Any other ticket outlet, you’ll have to contact them abou

LincTix are now available for the show. Looks like they’re the dreaded Studio 54 rear mezz seats though. I think I’ll weigh other options as it gets closer.

Did anyone grab tickets? I got a Verified Fan presale code and went in just now to find out the cheapest ticket is $250 — absurd. I’m thinking they may have been price-gauged due to demand. I wonder what they were priced at to begin with.

Oof, I was one of the people who really did not like this show. Glad to see a quiet, smaller musical is making its way to Broadway, though. Interested to see how the run fares.
OKLAHOMA! Previews Jun 13

Saw it again last night — loved it even more the second time around. What a fantastic production. The cast was ON FIRE, especially Ali Stroker. Every time she was onstage, one of the band members just looked around, nodding and grinning, as if to say “yep, she’s the real deal.”
How much chili at Oklahoma? Jun 11

Silly question about the chili: I’m seeing the show again tomorrow. I didn’t grab chili last time because I wasn’t sure if there was meat in it or if it’s vegetarian — anyone know?

I remember hearing that she did this! What a classy lady.
After having a lovely conversation with John Mulaney at Oh, Hello, I asked if I could shake his hand. I said “you’re brilliant” to which he s
Hugging Actors At Stage Door Jun 4
2019, 10:52:48 AM
Oof, it’s cringey that hugging someone at the stage door isn’t an immediate, obvious no-no. I don’t even take pictures with people because I feel it’s a bit weird. They’re people, not famous landmarks to get a photo with. Granted, asking for autographs is also an odd thing we’ve all grown accustomed to and I’m guilty of doing that so go figure.
The only thing I’ve done at the stage door that was outside of a conversation or an autograph was asking if I could shake someone’s hand as a g
2019 Pride Playbills May 31

I think someone on the 2019-2020 Playbill thread mentioned that they got the Pride Playbill at Fiddler this week. The brick look is to honor the 50th anniversary of Stonewall. The Playbill online store is selling the Pride playbills for some of the shows so you can also get a peek of them there!

I also used to go to the holiday run in San Francisco every year when I was living in the Bay Area. I remember seeing it for the first time there and looking at the audience — people of all different age groups — and being worried that some folks weren’t gonna have a good time. There was an immediate standing ovation after the show and from I could tell, not one face that wasn’t glowing as we exited the theater.
What a fantastic New York run for this show. I hope many, many audiences wi

He said in an interview (probably more than one) that he was doing it for a year. I assume that since they started previews at the beginning of November, he’ll be in through the month of October?
Jokes In Musicals That...Just Don't Work? May 23

The entire “white slavery” subplot of Thoroughly Modern Millie and the characters of Ching Ho, Bun Foo, and Mrs. Meers. Every song and scene with them onstage is written and played out as a jab at Chinese culture. I hadn’t seen the show until going to the Millie 15-year reunion, but when so saw it played out, I realized how extremely dated that material is.

Theatermania has a code for buy one, get one free that works on $85 seats: BOGOTM. Comes out $42.50 per seat.
Oklahoma! has more tickets up: Wednesday performances June 12th through July 3rd. I picked up a ticket for that first Wednesday after the Tonys for 1000 VIP points + $60. Can’t wait to see this beautiful show again.

Saw this on Thursday and also thought it was really lovely. They’ve been very careful about digging into the elements of the script that may be troubling or make folks uncomfortable. Michael Shannon and Audra MacDonald are absolute pros on that stage, and have such wonderful chemistry. MacDonald has some line readings that got applause breaks. It’s really early to be saying this, but I do hope they’ll be remembered come awards time.
I heard a few people chat about this after the show,
