I’d actually beg to differ that you don’t understand how this works if you think we’re not right in posting our disagreements. It’s a discussion board. For discussions.
THE PROM Previews Oct 24

Look, this show is not perfect. It’s hokey, it chews the scenery, it wears its little bleeding heart on its sleeve and it loves every damn minute of it. But that’s exactly what makes this show so special. It achieves exactly what it sets out to do, which is to beat us over the head with heart and a message of acceptance and tolerance. And I know some people don’t go to the theatre to “preached” at, but this one finds new ways to make this journey fun, quick, enjoyable, and downright hysterical.

Just like you make choices about what meal to eat, movies to see - you get a sense of whether or not it seems like it's for you. Are you suggesting people shouldn't do so before buying a product? Ridiculous. While I see MOST of what opens on b'way, I'm not so financially well off that I'd spend money on something I don'
Skintight rush? Jun 21

I tried the morning rush 2 weeks ago and when they opened the box office, the attendant told us they had no rush tickets that morning. So the rush is certainly “by availability”. But they do have Student Rush one hour before curtain that is half-off the full price tickets, so ended up being $65 or so?

I was wondering the same thing; I saw the show tonight and walked out trying to think of what it could have been (there were some awful things said, but nothing that really stood out)."

Just curious about the sight lines, since it's a two-level set. (I recently had a 4th row, house left seat to Boys In The Band and it was terrible. I couldn't see any of the action on stage right b
Just returned from the matinee of this one. I sort of loved it. It's sort of exactly what I've begun to expect from Harmon's plays. He puts these unlikable characters on stage that we still see a little of ourselves in and makes us somehow side with them. There are some exceptions to that rule with his plays, obviously. But I feel that of the 3 I've seen (Significant Other, Admissions, and now Skintight), that mostly rings true. I also read Bad Jews back in the day and feel si
But if Gough ends up in Featured, I think she would likely beat Susan Brown. I think their best bet is to try to spread the category placement as much as possible though, putting Gough and Lane in Lead.
It all depends on category placement. I think Andrew Garfield and Nathan Lane both belong in Lead Actor but I could absolutely see a situation where they move Nathan to Featured. If Nathan, Gough, and Garfield are all in lead and the rest in featured, I could realistically see a situation where every principal cast member gets a nomination and Garfield, Susan Brown, and James McArdle walk away with Tony Awards.

Thanks!!"
I had a friend in Row G of the orchestra on the far side and she didn't seem to think the view was too bad. She said it was a little too close and too far over, but I don't think she missed anything major.
Just picked up a ticket for tomorrow's matinee. Seeing HP Part 2 at 8 so not sure if I'll be able to report back immediately, but I will definitely try to get back and give my report.
A few things to say about seating. I was in Row L of the Center Dress Circle, pretty much directly in the center of the theatre. The view is good from this row, if not a little far back. In my row (others can speak to their rows), there was AMPLE leg room. And I am not short. It was a fantastic change for once to not have to constantly wiggle in my seat to be comfortable during a show. Also, one issue I noticed was that from my row, the people'
