Totally depends on what you're interested in. Start with shows that you were really sad to have to miss. Shows you were dying to see that closed before you had the chance, etc.

I agree you should email them. Be sure to clarify that it was a refund credit and not a referral credit, otherwise they probably won't help you. They got rid of everyone's referral credit (which I found to be a really crappy move). So when they wiped everyone's credit, the system probably couldn't tell the difference between referral credit and refund credit. But if you explain the situation to a customer service representative, it would be really unfair of them not to fi
BWWMatt, I think it's important to take context into more consideration. BroadwayConcierge was using the term "idiot" to describe O'Brien's ARTISTIC decisions. He wasn't saying that O'Brien was an idiot for something he did in his personal life. He didn't say that he met O'Brien at a party and found him to be an idiot. The context makes it very clear that the comment was about O'Brien as an artist.
Not saying these complaints are invalid, but I can only imagine how the mods must have their faces in their palms right now. Just a few days ago people on this board made suggestions as to how to improve moderation, and as soon as they actually implement those suggestions, we have a whole new thread complaining about them.
Also hilarious to me that people would compare the moderation of a message board to actual censorship imposed by a government on its people.
1) It's interesting to me that he cites an ever-dividing culture, and subsequent loss of a "universal language" as the cause of the problem. In a way, I feel like it's a blessing as well as a curse. Part of the beauty of art is that it can come in such wildly different forms, and thereby speak to different people in different ways. What he calls the loss of a universal language in music could also be called a de-homogeniz
I saw "The Emperor" at The Young Vic in London. I had mixed feelings about the play, But Kathryn Hunter is remarkable. There is truly no-one like her, and this role was tailor-made for her incredible talents.
I didn't even realize Peter Brook was still alive, let alone still working! "The Prisoner" which he co-adapted and co-directed will be co
Hmm...ok. This may be controversial opinion, but I think every single one of Tom Kitt's composing gigs after Next to Normal has been duller and more generic than the last. I'm open to having my mind changed, but I don't think this bodes well.
Still, I would see Kate Baldwin read the phonebook (and Tom Kitt's recent music seems to me the musical equivalent of the phone book), so I'm sure I'll end up seeing it anyway.

They must have had enough unsold seats earlier in the week to drive the number down despite the SRO.
Definitely Lobby Hero. No question! I found Summer and Smoke really dull. Marin Ireland is great, and it's a decent play (if not top-shelf Williams), but the production is thin and misguided. Overall a very forgettable evening.
Lobby Hero on the other hand, I thought was riveting, with great performances from all 4 actors.
In all seriousness though, I'm glad he's doing more stage work! I loved his performance in A Month In the Country at CSC, and I think there are huge number of roles he could take on.
Saw the 2nd preview last night and thought it was absolutely beautiful. This is Stroman’s best work in years.
It’s not a musical, per se. It has the feel of a musical, but they don’t sing. There are scenes of spoken dialogue, and there are dance sequences. On the poster they call it a “dance play.” Kander has written original incidental music, but it’s far from a background element. It’s played live by an orchestra, and it permeates everyth

I saw Sunday matinee on previews (no evening show that day). Everyone came out, signed and posed for photos with those who asked.

I took a quick look at Instagram. Seems that a lot of them are coming out and signing. I see several posed photos with Bomer, and some scattered photos with Quinto and Rannells. Looks like Jim Parsons comes out but doesn't pose for photos. It's still very early though! Any of the things I just said could change over time!

Thanks for bumping this! I had completely forgotten that I promised to report back on this.
I saw the show this past Sunday (as I said I would), and I very much enjoyed it. The acting uniformly excellent, and all the characters are fascinating and sympathetic in their own way. And oh man was Kristlyn Lloyd wasted on that pitiful role in Dear Evan Hansen! I'm glad she's finally in a role that lets her show her acting chops!
At intermission, I admit I found myself doubting the p
