I walked up at 11 am on Wednesday and got a matinee ticket in the rear mezz. At intermission, I moved down to the front mezz where there were many open seats. I'd say rush is pretty easy.
I won't comment on the show other than to say Act 2 was much more engaging than Act 1, and I doubt anyone could do more to modernize this show without rewriting the book significantly. Just leaving out a song and a few lines didn't evolve the show ahead too much, and the ending is mo
Hey, guys. After reading this thread, I decided to get in line early. I got to the theater at 5:50 am. I was third in line. The two people ahead of me were friends that got there at 5:30 am. The next person to join the line after me didn't come until 6:50 am. Then the next people around 7:15 am, and after that I stopped counting/noticing. I would say by 8:30 am, there were 10 people in line and I'm not sure when they ran out of ticket
Quick question friends - I'm looking for My Fair Lady tickets when I'm in town in July. For some reason there are much better options on Thursday, July 19, than other days that week. I tried googling and didn't see anything, but I'm wondering if Lauren Ambrose or HHP are usually out Thursdays? There don't seem to be vacations starting that day.
Tentative isn't a poor choice of words. For most of the first act, Donna seemed to be holding back. I had never seen the show before but I could tell some lines were written for laughs and the character has over-the-top moments, and she wasn't landing them initially. By the end of the first act and for the rest of the show, Donna was confident, funny, and touching. She did drop a fork in the Harmonia Gardens scene with DHP, and I find
Intermission now. Donna Murphy is doing a fine job, if a little lacking in star power and overpowered by her very funny costars. She received boisterous and extended entrance applause but did fumble and have to repeat a few words (threshold and Cornelius) and struggled to open the umbrella during "Sunday Clothes." She definitely seemed more comfortable as the act went on.
To report back: I decided to rush War Paint. Friday I got to the box offixe around 2:15 pm and they seemed to have recently sold the last rush ticket. However, she had many rear mezz seats for $49 and $59. I took a $59 and had a great view.
Thanks everyone! I slipped and said Nederlander because I had also been considering War Paint. When I went to the Shubert box office, they had row J seat 1 so I went for that. Seeing it Tuesday!
Hey, I'm seeing Side Orchestra Row B and Row M tickets to Hello, Dolly each one seat 2. They don't say limited view but I imagine it's not great. Any experiences with side orch or front row side orch at the Nederlander? Also, it looks like Tuesday is Donna Murphy's first time in for Bette. I'm wondering if there might be same day cancellations for better seats. Thoughts?
I have been traveling for nine months and I return to New York to finish moving out my things next weekend. I have four days and I would love to see a show, but I won't have time to wait in a rush line or even get there before 2 pm any day. What shows are known as an easy rush or lotto at the moment?
I enjoyed the concert. Jeremy Jordan in "Why, God, Why?" was a standout in every way, and I also liked the other song Marie Zamora sang, "Au Petit Matin / In the Early Morn." I had never heard it before.
Did anyone else think Patti LuPone was making some annoyed facial expressions when Stephanie was singing during IDAD? I know from her memoir that she's not a fan of actors changing the notes composers have written, and Stephanie was riffing and adding melody to
Has anyone found any date that still has Hiptix available for She Loves Me? I'm very behind on getting tickets but it seems like all Hiptix are gone for this show.
ETA: Wednesday matinees still have some tickets, but not many. Couldn't find anything on other days from here till June.
I didn't want to create a new thread, but does anyone know if King and I has been on TKTS recently? I already used my one LincTix to see the show when it opened and I would like to see it again before Kelli leaves. I'm not a student and I don't have a TDF membership, so I believe TKTS is my only option.
I've had the misfortune of being close to what happened with training Toby the rat, and it's ruined my impression of Broadway trainers as wonderful people who adopt rescue animals and give them good lives. There have been several other rats besides Toby who were rescued and later discarded when they wouldn't perform or were distracting Toby. Toby herself doesn't live with one person consistently either, but is passed around the cast and crew when the trainer has to take care o
I hope someone on this board was there and will share their impressions of Jon Rua as Hamilton. I'm always excited for understudies or swings to go on.
Absolutely, Fiddler is predictable and comfortable. As for comfortable, you're meant to feel good about how much this family loves each other; it's a show about family, community and love. As for predictable, the whole show is a pattern: A man claims devotion to his religious faith and traditions, then proceeds to break them not once, not twice, but three times in the same way (daughter wants to marry non-traditionally, father says never, daughter begs in a song, father says ok). Then
I saw this show on Saturday, seeing it live for the first time. It's a fine production with beautiful orchestrations, and I liked the floating set and the way people entered from the back like ghosts. Everyone was comfortable in their roles and seemed like good fits, but overall I wasn't moved by the plot or the acting. Compared to Hamilton, which I saw the week before, Fiddler is a predictable story about a family dealing with change. It was like comfort food. Can someone explain to
