Saw the show last night. Incredibly talented cast. I had never seen the play or the film before. It was very depressing and just so.........off putting. Self-loathing characters who have to bring everybody down with them. Who would be friends with someone like that and continue to tolerate that abuse?
Is there nudity in the original play? I just felt it wasn't necessary - what was the point?
I saw the show on Thursday night, and Santino was ok. I would love to have seen Christian Dante White as Cornelius. He has the most beautiful tenor voice. I'm seeing HD again tonight.
I was first in line this morning, and when the box office opened at 10am, there were 4 people total. I got row G, on the side. :) Can't beat that.
THE NEW YORK POPS 35TH GALA May 1
2018, 10:10:31 AM
Yes, it was quite the incredible evening. Each performance topped the other one - amazing talent, and just a very special night. When Angela Lansbury was announced and walked out on stage, the entire audience stood and screamed and cheered!!!!
I got mine for closing night - Aug 25th via the phone - side Orchestra, row P. I couldn't get through on the Telecharge site as it kept timing me out, or it wouldn't recognize the letters/numbers that you have to put at the bottom of the page to prove you aren't a bot. It would ask me to reenter it again.
Let's hope that this is really the final last show. I saw her last final 2 shows in January.
I saw Bette's last 2 final performances in January. I bought a ticket exactly a year ago in May when I was in NYC and saw the show for the first time - for that last performance on Jan 13th. Then it was announced that Jan 13th would be her last show, so my gamble paid off. Then the Actor's Fund added the last show, and I bought a ticket to that last show.
How many final shows will there be? They could possibly extend another few weeks. Time wil
I always go to the Brooklyn location as you can get matinee tickets the day before. And, if you are looking for same day performances, they open at 11am, rather than at 3pm in Times Square. It's a 1 man operation there, and he's very, very nice. There used to be another guy there who was just a nightmare to deal with. But, he's long gone now.
Yes, the free tickets do go fast. I would just keep checking the site - everyday, several times a day as you never know when it will be updated. I've gotten a number of free tickets through them, and you just have to keep checking - that's what I did.
Thanks for the info on rush for "Carousel." I'm going to rush the show when I'm there in a few weeks. I'll just need 1 seat and will try to see if I can get a box seat on the day I'm going. Thanks.
