I hate comparing the two because of the massively different tone, but it feels alot like Spongebob from last season. Amazing tech, a few endearing moments, and you leave feeling okay about the exp
I got an email from the theatre the other day linking this article about a possible transfer to Broadway or "another venue". To their credit they did say it may not work on the bigger stage (literal and figurative).
I was sitting in row F, last seat house right. It was fine (and $75). I did see that the front rows on the sides sorta slope down so it might be difficult to see over the edge of the stage. I didn't really take notice of how the front row center was in relation to the stage height, though - sorry.
I thoroughly enjoyed the show, even though Fiddler isn't really one of my favorites. The cast was great. I teared up in all the right places.

I am not familiar with him and it would seem that this show would rise and fall on how good the actor playing Dave is. Also, does it stick fairly close to the film or does it depart substantially? What do they keep and what do they discard? My curiosity is piqued about this show, but not sure whether it is piqued enough to spend the money and trek to this theater."

They held for about 30 minutes with several of the cast coming onstage to talk with / entertain the audience. Finally Tina Landau came to apologize to the audience and said all would be offered tickets to a future performance.
The 2/3 of the show we saw we absolutely enjoyed. Drew Gehling was made to play this role.
There are screens on stage that are tracked in 2 circles, inner and outer. The cast moves them around to change scenes and there are projections on them to indicate where we are at the moment. There's also an elevator that brings scenery up from under the stage. And some clever staging where Drew Gehling has to change from being Dave to being Bill Mitchell - quickly. I'm interested to see the show, if it transfers, on a bigger stage than this one. It work
Saw this tonight. I found it totally charming. The cast is pitch perfect. They do miraculous things on a tiny stage. The only quibble for me was the score was just kinda...there. Not bad, but not terribly memorable.
I'd definitely see it again at some point if discount tickets are available, if only to see if anything is changed.

Out of the four different Hamilton's I have seen, Edred Utomi is definitely my favorite. I enjoyed Nicholas Christopher as Burr even more this time. There is so much to take in that I end up hearing/seeing something new each and every time I have seen the show. There is one guy in the ensemble (Raymond Baynard) in particular who
I knew Terri back in the day and diva is not a word that would ever come to mind to describe her. She's a wonderful person. I haven't seen her in quite a while, but if you Google her, you'll find everything you want to know. Looks like she's doing a show in NY in April that I'd love to see...if only I was going to be in town.
Since the OP hasn't been back, I'll throw in that I think he/she means that he/she will try to get tickets to Hamilton with the family, but if that doesn't work, he/she wants another cheap option nearby.
I don't know what's around, but I do know that any show will sell any tickets available that night until the box office window at that theatre closes, usually at 9pm. Even it the show has started. If you want to buy and don't care if you&
