Bad Theater Behavior Aug 18

Saw The Cher Show this evening. Tons of people were trying to film, I gather. During every number, an usher would run up the aisle one or twice to flash his light on someone in the audience. Don't know if this happens at Cher often, but it's the first time I've seen someone (and many people at that) get caught by an usher. And during Believe, long before SJB tells the audience to stand up, some people in the front row of the left Mezz stood up and danced in place. But not just a little head
Has anyone recognized actors anywhere but a show? Aug 2

Not an actor, but Bernie Telsey was on my flight once. I didn't realize it was him at first glance though. I passed his seat while boarding the plane and thought he looked familiar, so I took one last look behind me as I left first class. He was reading a script with a giant watermark across the page (the watermark was just his name, which is what made me realize why he looked so familiar). Didn't catch what he was reading though, as the line of people was moving and the text was too small/far f

I would love to see this! Do you have it?
As for the one's I've seen live, Christopher Fitzgerald in Waitress skipped a line or messed it up, which caused him to laugh while reciting his poem to Dawn in the beginning of Act 2. He covered it up well by following up his laughter with, "It's a lot, it's a lot..
Jarethan said: "JuneJune, curious as to how your audience reacted to the Act 1 closing number. i was really disappointed, as I have come to expect big Act 1 closing numbers to be showstoppers, which it was not. I knew the audience was not into the show at that point, because of the really tepid applause (all the numbers had tepid applause, to be honest). "
I agree, other than the quick change (and not the music that was going on during it, just the fact that Santino
Jarethan said: "I saw Tootsie on a Wednesday afternoon in May,and the audience was pretty disinterested in the show. They barely applauded at the end of Act 1, after the big production number, which validated my own opinion of the show."
I actually just saw Tootsie the other day. The audience as a whole was definitely eating it up. There was very enthusiastic applause and laughter throughout, but just not in my section, oddly enough. The people ahead of me hardly, if

No one's gone on for Alex yet. I think the only principles that've had understudies on so far are Adam and the Maxine/neighbor/Juno track. The picture of the understudies was from a put-in rehearsal.
PRETTY WOMAN sets August closing date Jul 6

I have a past dated ticket for this show and been trying to sell it, to no avail. Since the show's closing, thought I might as well use it rather than let my money sit.
I'm new to the Broadway community so I thought I'd ask for advice. If I have to see the show again, I'd rather wait until the new principles take over. But I wouldn't be able to redeem that within their first week of shows due to conflicting plans. (Not that I disliked Samantha and Andy at all, I'd just like to see new f

Thanks for the input, all of you! I might just have to try the lottery for that day instead, and settle for TKTS if I lose that.
Tootsie lottery question Jul 2

I won during its previews run. I wasn't able to claim the tickets due to something that had come up, but if I recall correctly, most people at the time were saying that their tickets were in the rear mezz.

Anyone get there after 10AM and still get a ticket? I'm also planning to rush this, but I'm rushing a different show before this and hoping that a brisk powerwalk would suffice to get me into the theatre, haha.
Ended up staying at The Prom because I remembered it was a two show day lol. I got Balcony E11 and E13
Is the choreography for THE PROM bad? Jun 29
2019, 12:35:17 PM
Based on the Tony performance alone, I did cringe at some of the choreography; some of it felt forced, and I agree with you on being over-choreographed. For the most part though, I was impressed and loved it; it's one of those dance sequences that gets you wanting to jump up with them.
I'm seeing the show today though, so we'll see if my opinion changes.
JVJ93 said: "Do we know if Monday is the strict cut off for these? I’m seeing shows Monday and Tuesday night and am hoping for Pridebills. A lot of theatres may just hand out Pridebills until their stock is gone, no? "
I think I read somewhere last year that they change playbills every month regardless of having a surplus, due to the ad payers in each issue. (could be wrong though)
However, a theatre might not necessarily throw them out right away. If th

Update: I think there were some line cutters up ahead because I definitely see more people than earlier. It's now 9:45, and I wanna say the line a little over doubled since I got here. Didn't take a count, but I'd guess 40-50 people.
I'm there now (Saturday 6/29). Got here a minute ago at 8:13, and there are at least 15 people ahead of me. I looked at tickets yesterday and unlike before the closing announcement, the show is sold really well for today, so I'm not sure how many rush tickets there'll be =/ I'm considering jumping ship for Beetlejuice
EDIT: Third-ish person in line told me she got here at 6:30
King Kong Rush? Jun 28
2019, 10:23:55 PM
How has the rush been since it announced a closing? I'm planning to rush a different show before this and was wondering if it was okay to show up at the box office around 10:30. Also, how are the seats as of late?

How has the rush line been since post-Tonys/closure announcement? Any reports? I'm planning to rush a week or two from now, on Saturday =)

from there you can see how they do it. It looked like a kind of saddle to me, but a bike seat makes more sense. It's attached to the stairs. She doesn't levitate for that long, and afte

I had to do a double take when I saw Laura Bell Bundy on Fuller House. I know she's done a lot of acting for film/television, but as someone who only follows her work on Broadway, it was a pleasant surprise.
