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

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.

I loved Head Over Heels



Cher Show Appreciation  May 16 2019, 12:05:20 PM

I LOVE IT!   I have seen it 4 times.   

Is it Hamilton?  Is it Sondheim? Is it My Fair Lady?  No

Is it a fun evening?  Definitely

I loved the costumes, the dancing, the good looking dancers, and the music.   For me a moment to just enjoy.    In many ways it reminds me of Priscilla Queen of the Desert and the joy that musical brought to me.

 

 



Broadway in Everyday Life?  May 13 2019, 02:01:21 PM

Someone in a Tree2 said: "I've often told folks that everything I know about world history I learned from a Broadway show. Watch enough musicals and it's surprising how much history you actually pick up. (And don't blame me if the details in 1776 or HAMILTON or LES MISERABLESdon't conform perfectly to the true facts of history.)"

I am the same way in regards to religion.   I only paid attention to the music in church   If a Biblica
