I wonder how many Africans Americans that aren’t friends of anyone involved are genuinely fans of this show. Everything about this is offensive. There has to be a better way to tell a story than with twerking slaves. I know I know the playwright is black and gay, but he seems to have his own self hate issues.

I don't know about the permanent part, but JMI is doing Hercules this week, so he is out at least until the 8th."
I’m not sure if he’s only promoting it, but I think he may he part of Freestyle Love Supreme, too.

Slave Play seems like offensive trash, fingers crossed it struggles.

I had those seats (right mezz a 26-28) last night and the view was great. There were a handful of times there was an actor I couldn’t see, but you don’t miss much at all.
Just found my ticket. Orch J seat 24. Partial view listed on ticket, but I thought it was a great seat for act I. I got a center orch seat so ended up moving after Intermission.

It’s not a man in a dress so much as it’s a remake. I didn’t see the movie, and don’t care for remakes, but why wasn’t there this controversy when it was just

Ryan’s great. He was the best George Washington and I’ve seen the show 4 times now. He just finished playing Burr this past weekend and will be covering for Hamilton a few shows in August. Check his Instagram. He will be doing a new show off bway so out of Ham for a bit.

I will always recommend Orchestra over Dress Circle. The main reason being that the dress circle at the Lyric is very far away from the stage, so even from Row C you feel a bit too far back for my taste.
At the end of the day, Cursed Child is a 5.5 hour family drama with some awesome visuals. While I&rs

I'm usually a center orchestra devotee, but I've heard that for HP being in the dress circle is actually better because there are things that happen you might miss in the orchestra? What would you choose between these 3?
Dress Circle Row C, a few seats in from the side aisle

Hadestown Drop? Jul 12

Strange this isn’t “available in my country or region” according to Apple Music. I don’t see it on Spotify either. This is the most bull**** release.
DramaTeach said: "^ Care to share any more details about the TV project? I do remember seeing a photo of him with Lee Daniels recently, and I'm assuming they'll need someone to replace Jussie Smollett in the last season. I'd prefer he do something brand new, but if that is the show, at least he'll be singing. Blink once if I'm correct."
I doubt it’s Empire. I do wonder if it’s something on OWN, I know he’s good friends with Tarre
Hadestown - wait for next block of tickets or October? Jul 1

I think you should be fine for Oct. it’s before the holidays. Have you looked at the current prices? I know Ticketmaster does dynamic pricing so they can fluctuate.
