Second time, 10pm show, this past sat night...2nd row - dead center -- a couple from the cast I saw the first time and others -- not nearly as good .. disappointing because I brought my teen who wants to be a hip hop music producer so I thought he'd really love it .. but so much stumbling for words
I haven't seen Tina, but I saw Ain't Too Proud this past summer. Music genre is before my time, was my mom's show choice, but man did we have fun! Crowd was very into it, and the cast was extremely talented. I had a great time for only knowing a couple of the songs. I'd suggest that one :)

I think it could absolutely be moved to Mahalia. But they are imploding the leaning cranes tomorrow, so I think DEH is going to be fine at the Saenger."

I'm with ya! I saw it over the summer, and when I came back down here from vacation and told my friends about it they wished they were there. I immediately told them when the news broke, and we're already making plans to go :)

Wow, did they really? WB make so much already off this brand, them going after the Lyric for this, and towns, baseball teams, etc for hosting Harry Potter events (Read about that last year)
I saw the show this past weekend, sat in Mezz, row S, seats 18 & 20. You can see the main stage fine, but right side (elephant side) the trunk blocks the side where some actors will be at some point. Also, you can see the runway out past the can can seats, but the very front part you can't see at all. If an actor stands there you can see them, but from the waist up, and if they walk toward the elephant, you can't see them until they hit the stairs on the side. My tix said nothing

I also arrived at 7:30 and the line was wrapped around the block. If you want tobe seated by 7:45 to take in the little pre-show, as well as take photos, I'd gauge your time accordingly. Enjoy!"
I went to the 8pm show 7/6. They started letting people in about 45min beforehand, as you have metal detectors to go through like at HPCC. The interior is a SIGHT! The show s

Lion King Tour vs Broadway May 15

Hi all! Curiosity question... Is there a difference between the tour production of Lion King and the Broadway production? I've seen Aladdin both ways and there's a couple staging differences, mostly with the Cave of Wonders. Wondering if the same applies to Lion King. Thanks!!

Well, crap. There goes that idea. lolGuess I’ll have to find another show to listen to for the next 90 days. I’ve already been listening t

It is played during the show yes. It's all instrumental and it's beautiful

Anyone here ever use the Will Call window? I just wanted to verify that I can pick up my Will Call tickets up to 72hrs in advance of the show. According to the Lyric Theatre website:
LYRIC THEATRE BOX OFFICE
The main Lyric Theatre Box Office is locatedat 214 West 43rd Street.<
My mom and I had a fantastic meal at Bond 45 before seeing TPTGW in November. Great drinks also, they have a downstairs bar also. It was nice to not feel rushed through a meal :) (I get why they would rush, cause theater people, but still if ya got time it's nice)

Row A for sure. I've sat A1 before, and to be that close is amazing. There's one moment you will need to sit up completely to see, and you'll haveta turn around to see another moment, but do row A for sure!
yankeefan7 said: ""I don’t think they have speciality drinks at HP not like Butter Beer. "
I was a bit disappointed (lol) when I saw it in London and they did not have "Butter Beer" . I have had it a few times at Universal and it is so good, just don't drink it too fast -lol"
Completely agree! The money the theater would make by selling Butterbeer at this show would be staggering. Even Potted Potter had Butterbeer! Someone dro
