Dammit. I thought we were going to have the day free next month when we came down for Bruce, but now it got filled with amazing seats for this matinee. We saw the show last year from upstairs and were thinking of seeing it again from downstairs if a discount popped, but didn't think it would happen so soon and at such an amazing price! Thanks for posting this info!
Totally forgot about this at 10AM just went online and bought 2 nice seats for the August 4th matinee, when we are already in NYC for This Ain't No Disco that evening.
Kind of surprised to see how many seats were still available nearly 5 hours after onsale time.
We were going to wait for the B Buckley tour, but now we're thinking about this option as we will be in NYC during this part of the run.
We have an open Saturday matinee slot on our weekend -- does anyone think there's any chance they will sell tix and then announce that Bette isn't doing all the shows?
I've seen folks standing and sitting on the stairs on the sides of the theater during shows. Not sure if they were staff/ushers or patrons who wanted to be closer or if they were actually sold, though.
at Cardinal at 2nd Stage on Saturday, 2 rows in front of me were a couple in their 60's or 70's. In between us and 2 seats to the right were two of the Volunteer Ushers. I'm not sure how much responsibility they have once a show starts.
A few minutes in, the man takes out his phone and takes a few pictures of the stage. A few minutes later he starts videoing about a 5 minute stretch of the show.
Saw this Saturday night. We joined the ATC this season mostly due to McDonagh, but also for Rajiv Joseph and Stephen Trask. Had seats on Row B (which has no step up from Row A, so was a bit more obstructed than other rows). We've seen everything McDonagh has done except for Lonesome West and Connemara, and we started with Pillowman, which was SO heavy.
That scene change from 1 to 2 was incredible. Yes it's slow, but the payoff is incredible
We saw this on Saturday, took advantage of the "2 for 1" tix @ $69/each, bought a few days prior, as there really weren't many other options on or off B'way for Saturday, and we were in town for Hangmen that night (Excellent!). We've always done well at 2nd Stage, and figured we'd give this a shot.
The first hour of this had potential. The story had promise, the cast was decent (although I agree that Pally was kind of wooden), and the
JBroadway said: "Wee Thomas2 said: "When you say this is "dark", is it "Pillowman" dark (about a 9.7)? Or "In Bruges dark" (about a 4)?"
Well...your scale kind of confuses me if In Bruges is only a 4. I would think In Bruges is darker than that.
I think Hangmen is a less darkthan In Bruges, butdefinitely more dark than The Cripple of Inishmaan. Overall, calling it dark is almost just a given considering it's M
Saw this from the second row, front section, of the on stage seats this past weekend. That row has a great view, but the seats are not comfortable. Not deep enough to get your whole butt on, and the seat closest to the audience doesn't have a full floor under it (there's a step up to the row). I switched with a short woman who had that seat as her legs didn't reach the floor and I sat sort of sideways for Act II.
We saw this on Saturday and really liked it. The movie is better -- the musical was a bit simplistic -- but they did a good job of it.
On a lighter note, our seats were right next to the sound board and we could see the screen with the conductor on it (where *is* the orchestra, anyway?) and between numbers you could see her on her phone and knitting.
