Too bad there was nothing else to do in Paris other than see that show. Then you wouldn't have had to cancel.
Broadway pianist arrested for trying to seduce 14 year old boy... Sep 10

Not to justify this behavior in any way, but age of consent was 12yo (7yo in Delaware) in the late 19th/early 20th centuries. By 1920 age of consent laws were being raised to 16-18. A fascinating and grotesque bit of history. But I believe even back then it was looked upon with disdain.

Even though they were whispering, it was extremely distracting. I gave them a look at first, and when it continued, I turned around with, "Ladies, could you please be quiet? Thank you."
I wonder what WB's original involvement was, since they did not own the stage rights, and none of the WB-owned trademarks appear in the show (hence the different house logos, different dark mark, different costumes, etc). More details should hopefull
Wick3 said: "After the box office closes at 8pm, they normally give the unused tickets to the ticket-taker or security assigned at the front of the door for any latecomers. It's really up to the ticket-taker to keep or throw out the unused tickets though I'd think he/she would throw them out."
Yes and no. Most bix offices are open until 8:30pm (except on Sundays). Just when they close, the unclaimed tickets are given to the ticket taker for latecomers.
Impossible2 said: "Sony owns the rights to the Spider-Man character."
No, Sony doesn't. Marvel only sold the film rights to Sony. This is pretty typical. Harry Potter's film rights were sold to Warner Brothers, but JK Rowling retained the stage rights until she sold them to, I assume, Jack Thorn or Sonia Friedman. She sold the theme park rights to Universal. When Disney purchased Marvel, they had to buy back the rights from the other studios; Sony was the lon

It’sdefinitely not illegal to ask and it’snotillegal to even do. No onehas ever been arrested, or even fined, for recording a live theatre production. It’s not allowed, but let’s
FANtomFollies said: "Thank you! Also what would be considered the best seats for this show?"
I like to sit close. For Harry Potter, that means that the "how" of some of the effects are easily discernible. I'd say mid-orchestra, around row H, is better for that. There are two effects in the show where sitting further back offers the better vantage point, but the mezzanine feels too far back.
I didn't think Hamilton was worth the $40 I paid, an

While Come from Away's audience is mostly tourists, I don't understand your "non SRO" reference. The show not only offers standing room, it's standing room is almost always sold out.

The week ending 08/11/2019 likely saw 270,326 Playbills distributed on Broadway alone. That doesn't include any other single-performance distribution of Playbills or other programs at other events throughout the city. It also doesn't include Playbills/programs distr
Playbill_Trash said: "Waitress and Sweeney Todd are basically the same:
People with troubled past relationships use baking to cope with their feelings. Each pie is inspired by someone they’ve encountered and contains their best qualities, making their business a success."
That's a bit of a stretch. The baking in Sweeney Todd is about the disposal of evidence.
Bad theater behavior is nothing more than the increasing amount of self-importance from certain individuals in society. You see it everywhere now. People believe that since they are the customer, they can do whatever they want. And since corporate mentality is to grease the squeaky wheel, these people almost always get away with it. No matter the truth of the situation, this type of customer will complain about their "negative" experience, and companies don't like that. I think

You should never assume. He is not the only cast member that will be leaving the show this year.

How do you know the tour is making money? Do they report grosses? I would be curious to see them"
They used to report the grosses of national tours in Variety, but I don't think they do that anymore. Presumably it did well enough if they want to put it on Broad

Playbill actually pays Broadway theaters to distribute Playbills, therefore they provide a capacity's worth amount of Playbills to each theater once or twice per week. A Broadway theater only "orders" Playbills when there isn't enough supply to make it to the next delivery date (it happ
One ticket to Hamilton costs more than both parts to Harry Potter, particularly if you wait until a couple days before the performances to purchase tickets (and that's for the excellent seats).
Harry Potter is definitely a more theatrical experience, one which cannot be easily replicated. Hamilton is pretty basic, no real stagecraft to speak of.
There are several companies of Hamilton throughout the United States, so if you live outside of New York, there

Plus, they don’t have to pay for sets or development or any of that. And if the Longacre was gonna sit empty anyway, I think it’s not the stupidest idea. Also, another option for families that’s not Disney (and Disney prices) is always welcome. "
Whether you take one or not, the same number of Playbills will be printed.
You can return them at the end of the performance
Theaters do not distribute used Playbills. Even if patrons would accept a used one, Playbill would still keep printing the same number of Playbills. So there would be no reduction.
