THANK YOU!! When I saw that this thread had three pages already I was excited to read some reactions to it.. I should have known better though :/
She has been having vocal issues, I believe. When I saw her at the beginning of July, a lot of her notes were lowered and she sounded very, very tired. If you have her understudy, I’m sure you’ll be in great hands. It would be more upsetting if Amber or Patrick or Andre we’re out."
Or Timothy lol
Playbill stopped publishing song lists? Aug 5
2019, 06:15:21 AM
I hate it when people pull out their phones to check the Playbill to see how many songs are left in an act. If you're bored or that worried about beating the bathroom line then just get up. It's a lot less disruptive than shining a light in a dark theater.
Piparoo said: "I hope it runs for a long time but one of the things ive noticed is that a lot of the tickets for it (you pick the date, but take next Wednesday night July 31st for example) seem to be bought up by resellers. More so than any other show I’ve seen running. Almost half the house is up on the resale market.
Does this mean that scalpers are taking advantage of greater demand than supply, or are the scalpers making it appear like this show is in huge demand

I'd read about this and watched some of the rehearsal interviews but I had no idea they were using the original costume designs. How cool!

I loved Tootsie and so did the audience I saw it with.. plus there are tons of great seats available.
Disney remakes Jul 24

I almost walked out of The Lion King. It was painfully boring and devoid of any emotion.
Harry Potter seating suggestions? Jul 21
2019, 02:35:13 AM
I sat row A of the dress circle and thought it was a great seat. I love having an overview of the whole stage. The Lyric is bigger than other Broadway houses but I didn't feel removed from the action at all. The aforementioned moment at the end of Part One was amazing from my seat. There's a reveal at the end of the first act of Part Two that was particularly impressive from the dress circle as well.
TICKET TO SELL - Harry Potter and the Cursed Child Jul 19
2019, 11:55:32 PM
Yeah, with Harry Potter Ticketmaster doesn't make your tickets available until the day of the show. I wish more shows did this. It keeps people from buying chunks of tickets and jacking the prices up (take note Hadestown).
I went and saw this tonight even after hating the soundtrack.. my friends wanted to see it and I had nothing else to do. I'm glad now that they didn't include "Shadowland" because honestly this movie doesn't deserve it. It's a soulless cash grab worst of all it's just plain boring.

No. The closest they get to the Broadway recording is "He Lives in You".
The Lion King 2019 Soundtrack Jul 18
2019, 12:06:39 AM
I just listened to the new soundtrack and.. it's disappointing. If they were going to use the original backing track for "Circle of Life" then why not use the original vocals as well? The new singer can't hold a candle to the '94 vocalist (who's name escapes me). "I Just Can't Wait To Be King" is ok, but like everything else here it lacks energy. "Be Prepared" flat out sucks. It's two minutes of spoken dialogue with some music in the background. "Can You Feel The Love Tonight" is supposed to be

I saw the show this past Tuesday and she was in but I guess she's out again (I know she took some time off a few weeks ago). While it was great to see her I'm sure her understudies are fabulous.
Anyone know if Timothy Hughes has gone on as Hades? Patrick Page was awes

A few other shows got added along the way, including Hadestown and The Prom. Maybe devastated was too strong a word, but If I had tickets tonight to Part Two or either of those shows that I have been looking forward to seeing forever and they got cancelled then I would have been extremely disappointed. This trip was very expen
Disappointed, definitely. But devastated? If missing a Broadway show (even including any and all transportation, meals and lodging costs) is "devastating" how would you possibly cope with a real crisis? You know, losing your home, losing a family member to a cruel disease, or maybe a crime...
Honestly, the level of hyperbole here is ridiculous. There is no show EVER that is worth that level of anguish.&qu
Times Square Partial Power Outage Jul 13

Just spent the last two hours walking all around the theater district. We passed almost every show and the lines were around the block for the patrons waiting to get back in to their shows. I saw Timothy Hughes, Andre De Shields and a few other Hadestown cast members entertaining the crowd and some of the boys from Book of Mormon sang happy birthday to a girl in front of their marquee. I feel so bad for the people that had tickets for tonight. I would be devastated :'(
More important to give a great performance at the Tonys than to win? Jun 25
2019, 11:11:07 PM
I think it's more important to win. The amount of people that watch the Tony's isn't huge. To be able to have "Winner of (insert # here) Tony's) above the marquee has to make a difference in what people decide to see when they're in New York and also helps boost interest when advertising for tours.
