When you check the ticket prices from the broadway bound link posted above, the lowest ticket price is listed as $120. Hopefully the ticket prices go down but for now they are unbelievably high.
So tickets will be sold without a confirmed theatre? How will that work, and has this been done before?
West Side Story revival? Sep 8

I’ve loved the marketing since I first saw it months ago. Doesn’t look like a dusty old musical (not that WSS is)- feels new and fresh.
The same thing happened again when I saw The Glass Menagerie there. I honestly wondered who designed the new seating arrangement, as its not like I was staring at the proscenium, but an actual wall of the theater. It was even worse at The Glass Menagerie because there was a “water moat” in the front half of the set, so the play took place on the back 2/3 of the stage, with about 1/3 of that are out of my sightline."
I have to say, having seen Come From Away for the first time yesterday (in a partial view seat!) I think the Schoenfeld is now in the top 3 of my favorite Broadway theatres. What a lovely intimate space for a show. I know the partial view seats would be more problematic for shows with different set designs, but they were fantastic for CFA. Replica Revivals Aug 28

Would the recent Cats on broadway count as a replica? I know there were changes but they seemed minor.
I just assumed when they said "Cabaret" they were referring to the 2013(?) production being a replica of the 1998 production....because that was most definitely a replica, save for a couple minor costume changes.
If the choice for tickets is between the extreme right vs extreme left side of the front Mezz, is one better than the other? I've never seen the show and am also wondering if I'll miss anything very important.
Thanks for going into detail and suggesting what we could do! Honestly, we might end up doing just that. And if all else fails, just try to upgrade our seats the day of."
No problem at all! Good luck and let us know what ends up happening and what your mother thinks of the show!
He was an absolute gem in The Visit. His voice filled the theater like a beautiful melody filled with pain and desire. Since Raoul's character is similar, I think you're in for a treat."
Holy cow - I saw him in the Visit - I didn't realize that was him. I can't wait to see/hear his Raoul!!!
Just realized I'll be seeing John Riddle as Raoul at the end of September and to be honest I'm very excited. I loved Jay Armstrong when I saw him in "Hair" years ago, but seeing all the clips of him in Phantom left me kind of dreading seeing him in the show. I've never seen John Riddle in anything but have heard him on the Frozen and I feel more confident in his vocal abilities :)
In Bernadette's Gypsy recording, in the dialogue at 2:30, Bernadette says "June is sensational, you wait to you see it'...did she perform the line that way? In the Tyne Daly and Patti recording of Gypsy the line is "June is sensational, wait till you see it". Not sure if it's a mistake or just one of Bernadette's little strange nuances (which I happen to LOVE).

Except to insult and bully a little boy. But long after that woman is forgotten, Prince George will be remembered as King. Karma, you see.

I think the outrage had less to do about the impact on Prince George and more about how this attitude impacts
JuneJune said: "Got tickets for me and my mom just last week because we wanted to take advantage of Broadway week. After reading this thread, I feel like we made a mistake choosing Orchestra S instead of Mezzanine D (though, this was on the box office rep's recommendation).
It's our first time seeing this show, and my mom's been wanting to see this show for years, so I'd hate for her to walk out feeling like she missed out.
I splurged and got tickets since I'm having company in town in a few weeks. Got Orchestra, row A seats 1,3, and 5. Will these be too close? Too far to the side? I've seen the show before, but have always been pretty far away.
