@Fosse76, thanks for this wonderful post, bringing some sense to this messy discussion.
Especially grateful for this: "Since most theater patrons are too stupid to put recyclable items in the correct bins therefore mixing with actual garbage, recyclable goods are minimal."
Agree on expecting the worst & that BO staff are salespeople. I find they tend to overstate how "good" seats are and how minimal obstructions are, especially with cheaper tickets like rush. IMO it's best to ask them to point it out on the seating chart and draw your own conclusions.

The score was even worse and some of the laziest work I’ve seen in a while (other than King Kong which I also had the “pleasure” of seeing this week) The actors and design were easily the most redeeming parts, and Rob McClure Leslie Keitzer and Kerry Butler are making t

They have a decent amount of partial-view seats they only sell in person. For a super-sold-out show, they may unload those in advance for, I don't know, $79 or something, but I imagine they are saving at least a few for the day-of since I've seen fully sold-out final performances offer rush in the past. That said, not a g

But once in a while a Fun Home, Hamilton, Dear Evan Hansen, or Hadestown will come along. The possibility of that happening is such a thrill that I don't mind if the odds are against it!
And yes, I did sit through Superhero, This Ain't No Disco, and Joan of Arc: Into the Fire.
Hate to say I think this is going to flop. The material feels corny, and the creative team has an uneven history. Have nothing against anyone involved, and would especially love to see Josh Henry attache
I've seen a few, but SpongeBob was the most memorable by far.
The energy in there was unlike the energy in any room I've been in in my life – multiple times as intense as the most intense rock concert I've been to. The creative team was all there dressed to the nines and happily chatting with lots of cosplaying fans. The foley guy got a standing ovation when he went to places, and it was only uphill from there.

Agreed, I'm waaay too broke to even think about getting a ticket for that show, but thatwing is always beautiful to walk past."
Agree it's beautiful, but I have minor PTSD from almost getting killed by

I second this. I've had success challenging ticket purchases at events where things went wrong. I recognize this circumstance was out of t
Over many years, the Longacre has always stood out as well-kept, well-laid-out, and possessing unusually friendly and efficient staff. My most recent visit, this Saturday, solidified all of these points, especially the last one.
I’m smaller so I’m usually more bothered by cramped common areas than cramped seats. On that note, through some combination of efficient staff and sufficient common space, I enjoy the Booth quite a lot, and am always pleased to go to t

Agree, it’s been a notably tougher ticket lately than it has been in months, more than just your typical closing bump. Would have been nice if they’
I was lucky enough to be there (had no idea!) and it was pretty beautiful. Very informal and funny. Caitlin quickly quieted the crowd down after curtain call, then introduced Bob Martin, who cracked a few jokes, and said he thinks, yes, it is the first time anyone’s ever been married at a Broadway show (“because when you google ‘Broadway wedding,’ all that comes up is ‘The Wedding Singer’&rdquo
Tom Hawkins (the principal) in The Prom isn’t wigged, and both actors who’ve played it are bald (or nearly so), so they’ve had over-the-ear mics, in contrast with everyone else’s hair/wig mics. I guess there’s not a great alternative, but I have to admit I found it a bit distracting to see such a visible mic on only one character.
