SPONGEBOB Rush and Lottery  May 8 2018, 10:23:40 AM
Anyone have luck with the online lottery lately? Curious what the chances are and where seats are located. Thx

MY FAIR LADY Lottery  May 1 2018, 07:46:25 AM

lottery is back up and working - but i'm still wondering if anyone has won recently or has more info on if they reserve seats for lotto?



MY FAIR LADY Lottery  Apr 24 2018, 09:27:00 AM

Glad I'm not alone in this issue. I have no idea what's going on....I would also love to know if anyone has won lately and if there are any winners if the show is sold-out?

re: Favorite Set Designs  Jun 20 2017, 01:36:16 PM

Having just seen Sunset Blvd. with Glenn, I have to wonder if we'll ever see a set of this scale and detail on Broadway again? I felt very torn about the new set currently at the Palace. I thought it was extremely functional but was extremely unatractive. 



Idea for the BWW Forum  Jun 19 2017, 06:53:29 PM

thx for that site LizzieCurry - I had no idea that existed. Although I'd still be interested in something like that on BWW. I have to wonder why 'Charlie...Factory' which has been received terrible reviews (by fans and critics alike) still has a 71. I feel like scores from members of this forum might be more helpful.



Idea for the BWW Forum  Jun 19 2017, 02:19:15 PM

I've had this idea for a while, but was thinking I should post it today after seeing 'muscle23ftl's ratings post. My idea is to have a section of this website that would list all current (and maybe even some classic) Broadway and Off-Bway shows and let BWW members rate them on a scale from 1-10. The current average score would appear next to each show. IMDB uses this system and I'm always entertained before or after seeing a film or tv show to see what the average score is.

seating question  Jun 11 2017, 04:01:18 PM

Beyond excited to see this next month. Have tix for Orch. Row N, center section. Does anyone know if the overhang of the Mezz will 'cut off' our view of the top of the stage?



2017 TONY Awards Performances  Jun 11 2017, 03:45:26 PM

Maybe wishful thinking...but maybe they have a way to creatively incorporate Bette/Dolly into the opening number? Imagine the broadcast beginning with Bette in the red dress on a staircase singing "helloooooo TONY'S" or something along those lines...



WAR PAINT Previews  Mar 18 2017, 10:37:09 AM

Does anyone know if any significant changes have been made during the preview period so far? Sounds like most people agree the show could use some tightening/trimming. I see the show in a couple weeks so hoping it happens :)



Gyllenhaal and Ashford to open SUNDAY at The Hudson  Jan 23 2017, 03:56:47 PM

Found this image. I feel like the first couple rows of the balcony would still feel close enough, but after that you might feel slightly 'removed'. Although those pipes on the ledge look like they could be a sightline issue depending on your height.

 I'm absolutely thrilled about this theater being a legit Broadway house. That proscen

Hello, Dolly  Jan 9 2017, 07:33:47 PM

The canopy above the box office door really bothers me. I don't like how off-center the red 'logo square' is on the side of it. 

I also totally agree with the poster who said the red and white should be reversed on all of the huge signs. Would have been 10000x more eye-catching.



Sunset Boulevard officially coming back to Broadway  Jan 1 2017, 07:24:19 PM
i ADORE this show and score, but can't bear to listen to Glenn 'sing' it.

Rush tickets are not affordable anymore  Dec 14 2016, 07:49:43 PM

To the people saying that $40 is not affordable - I hope you don't go to the movies, since the cost of seeing a movie in NYC is almost $20. Seeing great live theater is worth EASILY the cost of 2 or 3 movies.



Will WICKED get FROZEN out.  Dec 10 2016, 11:51:51 AM

I think what will realistically happen is Wicked will no longer be at near 100% capacity, but I still see the show selling in the high 80's and 90 percentages for a LOOOOOONG time. I think some of the longer running 'tourist friendly' shows like Chicago will be in danger of closing. It will be interesting to see what happens.



The BWW Redesign of December 2016  Dec 9 2016, 10:29:29 AM

i might be in the minority but I liked it better before. The crazy bright fire-engine red is super distracting, and I hate how the forum responses only take up the left side of my computer screen. 



HAIRSPRAY LIVE! Viewing Thread  Dec 8 2016, 12:37:30 AM

I'd give it a solid A-. I thought it was the perfect choice of show (SO timely right now), and practically flawless casting. My only complaints were some sloppy camera and lighting work, and some uninspired staging decisions (Timeless to Me, I'm looking at YOU). This was NBC's best effort by a landslide, though Grease wins in terms of all technical aspects and overall energy. Excited to see if they can up their game further with Bye Bye Birdie....although I'm less excited by t

THE WIZ: 2015 NBC LIVE MUSICAL  Dec 7 2016, 05:16:47 PM

Since 'Hairspray' will be on NBC tonight - I was thinking about 'The Wiz' and wondering if they had cancelled the plan to mount a version of the show on Broadway? I've heard nothing about it since it aired...



HAIRSPRAY is next NBC Musical...  Dec 2 2016, 04:47:15 PM

I'm not familiar with the novel, but I don't really like the idea of Nancy being an early 20-something....I think at least late 20's if not early 30's brings out the desperation in the character more. That being said most 30 somethings in Hollywood look like they are in there 20's anyway.
