Is it me or is it BWW ?  Nov 10 2020, 06:47:41 PM

I've noticed both of those things.  In addition, the page always jumps several times before it settles and if I forget to wait, I'll click on something I don't mean to click on.  Even this reply box jumped in the middle of my typing this.  This board software is annoying - not quite annoying enough to keep me away, but annoying nonetheless.

Except that if it's on Twitter (or whatever other social media), it's not private.  And if it's said on Twitter, it's out there to consume and judge.  Otherwise, why put it out there? If you want to keep your private life private, and only be talked about in terms of your professional talents, than stay off of public social media. It's easy. 

Your First Broadway Show  Jun 14 2020, 12:05:33 PM

First show on Broadway was Chicago in March 1976 from the first row of the mezzanine (I believe the tickets cost $15.50).  On that trip, I also saw The Wiz and A Chorus Line.

First show I remember seeing at all was Snow White at Shady Grove Music Fair in the early 60s (when it was still a tent).

Joe Montegna's hair looks fabulous!! 

And about those shoulder pads in whatever Cynthia Erivo is wearing...oy.

I agree with this.

Also, I don't want to appear churlish, but has anything really changed other than the font sizeand no private message display? I'm not seeing anything cleaner or easier on the eyes. Just a smaller font withall of the ads and videos still hanging around on the side.

I agree with this.

Faith Dane - Original 'Mazeppa' in "Gypsy" on B'way & Film Has Passed Away  Apr 14 2020, 09:25:18 PM

Thanks for posting this.  I have many fond memories of her coming to see shows at the National when I worked there.  She was quite an amazing personality. 

National Tours / Venues postponing or canceling stops due to CoronaVirus  Mar 12 2020, 08:31:50 PM

Kennedy Center closed until the end of the month. 

Still good seats available for Hamilton in August, though...


To Kill a Mockingbird: Jeff Daniels vs Ed Harris  Mar 8 2020, 05:21:58 PM

Call_me_jorge said: "VotePeron said: "But while getting some air at intermission and running into Ed Harris smoking a cigarette right outside the Shubert stage door, I couldn’t help but fall more in love with him."

This sounds bogus, but nice story though.

Why?  He can't smoke in his dressing room, so he needs to go outside.  Some people still smoke (unfortunately). 

I saw Daniels and Harris.  I thin


The Minutes Preview Thread  Feb 26 2020, 05:46:27 PM

Saw this this afternoon.  First, let me say the cast is fabulous. The play started off kinda of silly and funny.  Then it went deep and I was really intrigued, pulled-in, and interested.  Then it took a total left turn. 

I'm not sure how I feel about it yet.

I forgot to add that we were in the Mezz. I was wondering if they were also loud downstairs on the right side. Seems they were. I hope they fix it."

We were in the orchestra, practically right in front of the drum kit.  Loud... and, if I might add, not very imaginative drumming,

uncageg said: "Saw it last night (Tuesday) and loved it.

The story sucked me right in. Beautifully acted, directed and sung. Mare Winningham was outstanding. I did not read my Playbill beforehand so I didn't realize it was Marc Kudish until the beginning of the second act! That scene at the party took my breath away. Was also nice to see, and hear, Jeanette Bayardelle. Also outstanding was Austin Scott. Gorgeous voice. (Gorgeous man!)

No, the songs don't


COAL COUNTRY at the Public  Feb 23 2020, 12:35:28 PM

Saw this last night.  I liked the first part better.  Thought the personal stories were touching.  It didn't hold up as it went along.  The only person who brought me to tears was the older gentleman who lost his son.  I understand the issues, but the evening, as theater, didn't come together for me.  My husband mentioned Come From Away as we were leaving and I can see that.  Seeing North Country tomorrow, so I'll see if that comparison hold

Bad Shows vs. Being a Victim of their time?  Oct 11 2019, 09:32:30 PM

I agree with dramamama611.  This is actually a reasoned, thoughtful discussion with lots of good points.  Why ask for it to be deleted?  There are so few of these conversations here...

I'd love to tell you how they left the stage, but we were too busy running out of the theatre.  We were sitting house right, all the way on the side and all of a sudden there was loud talking outside and it sounded like people were banging on the doors trying to get into the theatre.  Then someone ran down the aisle yelling "shoot


Tootsie controversy  Aug 1 2019, 01:37:30 PM

I don't really understand why you want to plant your flag in the ground over this particular issue, especially when, in the grand scheme of things, it's not that important.

And because you are wrong.

I don't use the mobile app (didn't know there was one). But my android phone's webpage has had this issue since ... probably a year now. I often have to literally highlight the text to be able to read it.

Everything is fine on my laptop, but on my phone, the message type is very light.  It's been that way for as long as I can remember and hasn't gotten worse.  It also hasn't gotten better.
