Best Scene Changes  Aug 27 2019, 04:25:04 PM

I found these pictures of the As You Like it Set.   It looks amazing.

Are most vocal selections pretty similar from what actual broadway musicians have to play?  Aug 26 2019, 06:09:43 PM

One of the times that I saw Pippin, I had the opportunity to set in the first row seat that was next to the conductor.  He doubled as a keyboardist and I could see his score.  It was fascinating to look at it.  It had numerous cues, lines, even staging comments.  And typical of many musicians, some of his own cues- with highlighted and circled parts and the occasional "watch!" "wait" , etc.     It was not anything like the vocal sele

Beetlejuice seating  Aug 20 2019, 06:28:34 PM

We sat 2nd row in the middle of the mezzanine.   I found it to be a great view.    



Bi-Level Sets  Aug 15 2019, 03:16:38 PM

Newsies---had a three level set

Next to Normal was three level as well if I remember.

Mary Poppins had the entire Banks house on the stage.

Out Of Town Tryouts/Pre-Broadway Runs Question  Aug 9 2019, 12:38:10 AM

Waitress & Finding Neverland at ART in Boston

Beetlejuice at National in DC

Was able to see all three on Broadway as well.

Jungle Book in Boston, which may or may not ever make it to Broadway.

If you ever get the chance to see a Pre-Broadway run, I highly recommend it.   Cool to see the journey and changes they make in the shows.



Broadway Grosses: Week Ending 8/4/19  Aug 5 2019, 04:14:24 PM

Beetlejuice has climbed slightly each week since the Tony Awards.   I wonder if their advance also shows this impact.

With the oncoming closings of Kong, Cher, Woman, etc, will Tootsie and Beetlejuice increase?    I realize that we are going into a slow period (Sept-Oct), but they may get some of that crowd.  

 

 



Moulin Rouge Standing Room question  Jul 22 2019, 01:48:32 PM

I find this page to have a good current list of Rush, Lottery and SRO options for shows.    It is not always up to date, but give you a quick overview.   I then go to the show's official website for details.

Falling debris hurts workers at Golden Theater  Jul 4 2019, 09:16:49 PM

HogansHero said: "sorry but they don't need a gofundme. the union is their gofundme and they have been funding it since the day the signed on. That's outrageous."

I agree with you this is absolutely a worker's comp situation and their bills will be paid 100%   

I do wish them a speedy recovery.



Tootsie or Chicago  Jun 23 2019, 11:08:03 PM

How often do you come to  NYC?   Chicago has been playing for 22 years and appears that it has many more years left.  Tootsie may not be playing this time next year.

Except there are very few actors this is done for.

And it is part of their "compensation" package.
