Profile for FANtomFollies

Mystery solved - thank you!

The tickets for the last 2 rows of the mezz are all $45. I checked for many MANY dates. 

I think it looks fantastic. I completely understand the issue with the cast member being a sexual predator and I am not happy about that. That being said, I bought tickets before I was aware of all that so I am excited for the production in spite of him. I also love the marketing artwork for the show - feels young and fresh.

It's pretty shady, to be honest. I checked dates as far out as the discount goes, and saw nothing for that price.

I've been looking for discounted Phantom tix, and came across this article:

Phantom tickets starting at $29

Every single date and seat I see has no ticket cheaper than $45 - for the last 2 rows of the rear Mezzanine. Is this a misprint or just 'click bait'???

Woops. That's what happens when I post without finishing my coffee. 

Any update on this? Wondering if it's an easy win and if the seats are still usually in the rear Mezz?

While I LOVE LBB, I don't know about the idea of her playing a girl in high school. She 38 years old, come on!

I sat in the rear mezz of Studio 54 many many years ago and don't remember it being terrible. Isn't 54 a relatively small theatre? Is the rear mezzanine really much further away than 'cheap seats' at other theatres?

I haven't seen either, but there are 2 versions of 'The Wild Party'. Not sure how similar they are but are based on  the same source material.

Thanks for all the advice! Do you know where your seat is after you purchase online, or not until you pick it up at the theatre? Would you end up with a better seat if you pick up the ticket sooner rather than later?

Any recent luck with this? Thinking about trying for the Thursday matinee. 

Kind of unrelated - but I know talking tourists are an issue sometimes, especially in a long runner like Phantom. I'm thinking of taking my a mom to see it, and wonder if there are any tips to avoid this issue?

Is this available to watch in HD anywhere? It's on youtube but in very poor resolution

The article says there will be on-stage seating for every stop of the tour, which is exciting. After seeing this production on Broadway I can't imagine being stuck way up in the mezz or balcony of a huge theater to see this

Madonna and Rosie were seriously considered

I'm sort of an theatre-architecture fanatic, and feel like the expression 'Not a bad seat in the house' is severely overused. Are there any Broadway theatres that you believe really don't have any bad seats, in terms of view/experience, etc? If not, what theatres come the closest?

Queen Latifah as Ursula? The most uninspired casting in a looooong time. 

the revival of Ragtime.

My favorite theaters have front Mezzanines that are very close to the stage. Front Mezz at Shubert, Nederlander and Broadhurst are fabulous.

On the other hand I sat front row Mezz for Hamilton at Richard Rodgers and felt very far away.

I'm usually against renaming theatres, but there would be something serendipitous about Phantom playing in "Her Majesty's" in London and 'The Prince' on Broadway.
