It's interesting about the on-stage seating. I don't see any indication of it on the websites for the first few stops of the tour. I wonder how the theaters are going to handle it, will they use the seats as rush/lottery locations or will they add them in for sale at a later date? Hmmm....
I am going to NYC for a weekend at the end of November. Inheritance has a both part Sunday the weekend I'm there. I already have tix to Little Shop on Saturday night so, yes, I only have one day to devote to a two part play.
If I was going to spend a full Sunday seeing one of these two part plays, which do you think I should pick? I've not yet seen Harry Potter and I used to be a big Potter fan but I think The Inheritance sounds quite interesting and I feel it goes along with my recent viewings of Angels in America, Boys In the Band, and Torch Song. Thoughts?!?!
If I see this, I really want to sit in the Can Can seats (I believe they're called) but the Ticketmaster website won't let me buy just one. Is there some way I can buy one or am I S... out of luck??! I don't think it's fair I am being punished (or, dare I say, discriminated against) for having to see a show solo!!! Any help would be MUCH appreciated! THANKS!
I desperately miss "88's"!!! A more wonderful piano bar there never was and it was a sad day when it closed!! I spend many a Saturday night there when I lived in NYC enjoying the bar staff's performances (especially the incomparable Terri White), participating in sing alongs, and, occasionally, getting to get up and sing a couple songs myself ("Who Will Love Me As I Am?" was one of my go to songs). Great memories of a great time in my life.

I am a HUGE Buckley fan and have loved her in everything else I've seen her in yet even I didn't love her as Dolly Levi. She had very little personality, very low energy, and the show had almost no humor with her. She, of course, sang the score beautifully but that was about all there was to her performance. It makes me quite sad to say this
I was there Thursday and it was one of the most magical nights I’ve ever spent in a theater!!!! So many standing ovations!!! When JCM entered I thought the applause and cheers would never stop! Got two signed posters and had VIP tix that included a post show reception where I got to meet JCM, Trask, and Miriam Shore. Got hugged and kissed by JCM! Amazing!!!

Seeing this the 29th at 5:30 pm (making mine one of those aforementioned 3 show days). A friend contributed songs to the show so I am excited to get to hear his work! Looking forward to it. Wonder if it will transfer somewhere for a longer run after July.

This show was never a huge cast show to begin with... Was there really a need to whittle it down?!?! Weird!
I keep a strict theater journal of all Broadway, Off-Broadway, touring, and major regional productions I see and I counted the year I attended the TONYs rehearsal. So my vote would be definitely YES count it! LOL!
Sounds like a good trip. I'll be seeing 7 shows in 4 days at the end of June:
Wed @ 8 - My Fair Lady Thurs @ 2 - Frankie and Johnny Thurs @ 8 - John Cameron Mitchell: Origin of Love Tour Fri @ 8 - Tootsie Sat @ 2 - Beetlejuice Sat @ 5:30 - Camp Morning Wood Sat @ 8 - Hadestown
And 8 shows in 5 days if you count the closing performance of the FALSETTOS tour I am seeing Sunday evening in Charlotte, NC on my way home.
I was at the final Pittsburgh performance, so saw Ciara. She was incredible and, though nothing was ever said, of course, my mind filled in the adoption idea (too many episodes watched of "This Is Us"? LOL!) which led to two very interesting subtext moments - 1) When Evan was describing the things he loved about Zoe, but making them into Connor's thoughts, there was a bit of a "was my adopted brother in love with me" vibe and 2) When Zoe has her meltdown about "Al
I'm also seeing the final Pittsburgh performance from third row - which is a MUCH better seat I had than when I saw the OBC (last row of orchestra) and I'm looking forward to seeing it again from much closer. I'm also one who likes to sit way up front and if I'm too far back I tend to feel less connected and don't enjoy a show as much. I've kind of spoiled myself, I guess. Thank God for touring house last minute ticket availability. I checked for months and there was n
SO glad they filmed this at all! (Wishing, probably hopelessly, for a Blu-ray release!) I liked Killian Donnelly when I saw him on Broadway, but the beard does seem weird for me - though probably just because I'm not used to seeing Charlie with a beard. In my perfect world they would've filmed my favorite Lola and Charlie which was J. Harrison Ghee and Andy Kelso (though I never saw them in the show together).
For some strange reason "Frankie & Johnny" is dark Wednesday and has an added Thursday matinee the last week of June only. That happens to be the long weekend I will be in town so I am ecstatic to not only get to add an extra show but that one specifically! (Otherwise would have made a return trip to either "Phantom" or "Play That Goes Wrong" - probably "Play..."
I played Alvin in the first post-Broadway production of "The Story of My Life" produced. We ended up taking our production to competitions and MANY of the other theaters there loved the show and have since produced it (we should've gotten a finder's fee, LOL!)
