Honestly, the last row of the mezz is a great view for pretty much any show that plays here."
I concur. It’s a very small house (and my favorite on Broadway). Sat in last row mezz for The Boys in the Band and it was great.

Was reminded of The New Group’s Happy Talk when Jesse Eisenberg was on Late Night yesterday. Got a code for $65 seats, but want to see if it pops up on AR or what the rush options will be. If anyone sees it on Audience Rewards, give me a shout!

Thanks for the update! I want to stop by later this week. SO excited for this one.

Playbill’s rush/lottery page is saying that they’re doing $40 rush tickets, but I’d check with the box office to verify.
Film Actors Who Are Feb 28

Such a recent example, but I consider Timothée Chalamet a performer that has what Dave28282 is talking about. There’s a subtlety and a life that he infuses into his characters to the point that it looks easy — a rarity in film actors, which I think is the reason why he’s so quickly become an acclaimed performer. Wonder what his stage work is like.
Joviedamian said: "I think the question might be the other way around. The majority of film actors that I know that are good in both mediums, are most likely to have gotten their start in the theater."
Agreed. I recall reading several interviews with famous film actors who describe theatre as acting boot camp. Live theatre works a muscle that film can’t. One big example that I’ve recently been intrigued by is Brian Tyree Henry. He started in

Show was extended for an extra week — the rest of the run is sold out so snatch up tickets for that final week while you can!

For anyone interested, it looks like the 92Y will be doing a Conversation + Performance Highlights in May with cast and crew (it’s also worth checking out their calendar for theater stuff — there’s a Come from Away event and Gavin Creel in concert coming soon).

Can’t link it because I’m mobile. With their XYZ Under 40 program, some seats are $20.
Call_me_jorge said: "When in March is Laura going to be out? I have tickets for the March 27th evening show. It wouldn’t be the end of the world if she was out, but she was a major draw for me. It also seems like Harry Haden Patton will be out, but I’ve heard both understudies are great."
Via Telecharge, it looks like she’ll be out March 24th-28th amongst other dates
Laura Benanti to replace Lauren Ambrose in MY FAIR LADY Feb 12
2019, 01:53:58 PM
Got an email from LincTix — if you have already used your LincTix for the show, you can now see it another time at that price point. Not sure if this was already in place, but for anyone who didn’t know (like me), you can see the show again for $32. Picked up a ticket for March. It’s been almost a year since I saw the show, and I’m stoked to finally see Benanti in the role!
Sea Wall / A Life, featuring works by Nick Payne and Simon Stephens and starring Jake Gyllenhaal and Tom Sturridge, will begin previews at the Public tonight. Opening night is set for February 14th.
Who's planning on going? I’m not seeing the show until late March, but if you have any reports during the run, post em here!
Oh gosh, right after I posted this, I realized how pointless it was because BWW compiles them anyway.
Seems like the consensus is that it’s a production that 1) doesn't really bring anything new to the material 2) features a stiff performance from Dano and a rather fine performance from Hawke (although he sometimes overdoes it). Pretty much exactly the way I felt after seeing the first preview.
Roundabout’s production of True West, directed by James Macdonald and starring Ethan Hawke & Paul Dano, opens tonight! Figured I’d put up a reviews thread. Not sure what to expect for this one.
