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.

Some shows are boring. Being bored doesn't mean you need to improve yourself.

Front row mezzanine is the ideal location for Phantom.

Yes. There's a photo in the souvenir program showing her being fitted for her wig prior to a performance.

Not even close to the success of the Shubert Organization. 4 of the top 5 longest running shows were/are in Shubert-owned houses. The Lion King (no. 3) is in a Nederlander house. None of the top ten longest running shows played in a Jujamcyn-owned house. Seven of the top ten were/are in Shubert houses and thre were/are in Nederlander houses.
In addition to real estate, the Shuberts have a ticketing divide that owns and operates the ticketing services, one which is Telecharge.

If you are talking about what are commonly referred to as house seats, it varies from show to show. And no, you can't compare touring houses to Broadway theaters. On Broadway, it's the show's producers that determine which seats will be available, how many are available, and how they are distributed. Touring houses will have their own seats that they've designated, since they are the ones selling the tickets.
If you mean do shows hold back large swaths of tickets to sell closer to perf

What are they supposed to do? Contrary to popular belief, the ushers are often unable to locate these offenders because the phone/camera may be out of their sight. Also, many producers don't want the ushers disrupting the other people by enforcing the rules during a performance. And finally, according to the usher's union, usher's a

But I think that's the point. What is this film's purpose, other than giving us creepy cat-like humanoids?
