Everybodys Talking About Jamie transfer?  Jul 11 2018, 11:59:09 AM

I just don't see the show finding it's place amongst everything else Broadway has to offer. It's just not there yet.

Clearly this girl was better than anyone else auditioning. Clearly all the other girls auditioning were not as good as her. She was clearly so much better, that they decided to overlook the story a bit.

That's cool. It's not the best option, but what can you do if no one else was as good as her?

She got the part and I'm happy and supportive for every perso


Max and Elsa songs:  Oct 16 2017, 06:39:11 PM

I love both of those songs, and when I did the show we kept them in. But the show is always a billion hours long. Specially for a show that kids want to go to, I can see why theaters would make the unfortunate decision to cut them. 

I will say we did get to add I  Have Confidence as well as use Something Good. 



What is it with runtimes?  Oct 16 2017, 06:35:49 PM

as an usher:

sometimes the time she shows write online and so on is wrong, and we do what we can to give you an accurate time you'll be out by.

no one has ever in my three years of working off-broadway asked me to lie about a run time. 

The 90 minute trap is real. I once worked a first preview of a play that said it was 90 minutes and evened 72 minutes in. I've never run to open doors so fast in my life. 

 



How does one become an usher?  Sep 26 2017, 06:21:53 PM

Not to rain on anyone's parade who thinks ushers just get to watch the show, but there's a lot of that time making sure the glint in row D isn't a phone light. Maybe it's the cup for their drink, or it's their glasses. Maybe the three drunks in the mezzanine won't shut up during the show. Say an actor saw a phone out and told stage management. You've now got to babysit the dude in B105 just in case it comes out again,

Most ushers I know have second jobs. &nb


1984 publicity stunt  Jun 22 2017, 08:08:51 PM

I see it as good insurance. Having worked for Avenue Q as front of house we try to make sure those coming with children who seem to be under 13 know what they're getting into. Most do but there are a few who once in a while leave very angry or decide to not come back after intermission because of the songs in act one. As for 1984, it sounds graphic enough from what my friends have told me that I don't blame them for cutting off the problem. 



2017 TONY Awards Performances  Jun 8 2017, 11:59:31 AM

To be fair, performing at the Tonys costs a lot of money for a show, and Anastasia already has strong word of mouth and a good advance even with the Tony mess. It probably makes sense not to bother with it. They could record another video like the one's they've already done and go viral within their demographic for much less money.  



BC/EFA fundraising 'twice a year'  Apr 14 2017, 02:50:12 PM

GROUNDHOG DAY Previews  Mar 22 2017, 04:06:34 AM

I was there last night and thoroughly enjoyed myself. The show did feel long but I do think the repetition of scenes doesn't help that case. If I were to cut anything I'd go for the doctor song (totally superfluous, if anything you can keep Josh Lamon's part and cut the rest) and tighten up the car chase in the truck song. I think those who say act 1 and 2 are very different are correct, and if anything they  need to just get things to move a little faster in act one. We all

Hamilton Broadway auditions  Mar 13 2015, 01:34:31 AM
It's most likely required. If anything they'll find some additional swings and possible understudies. Even without this cast there's plenty of Miranda's favorites who did readings over the years. I wouldn't be surprised if any of them ended up replacing.

Dear Megan Hilty  Feb 26 2015, 08:24:16 PM
I love how this is an open letter pretending you care for this person, but if you did you'd just shut up and cheer on a woman with a kid who just got a nice job. Granted, this is a job that could lead nowhere after one episode and we can all agree that until she dazzles us again with some hit anything anywhere, it's nice to know she'll be able to work on anything. Don't pretend to care just to voice your opinion as if she's just been fielding all the options in the world and has any power to cha

Excessive tactics over taking pictures in the theater  Feb 20 2015, 03:57:20 AM
As a person who's ushered many different types of events in many different kinds of theaters I can tell you that there's no one way any usher does anything. We are simply told how to react according to the show and the wishes of the production. If I have to run down to the second row and flash a flashlight at your face to get you to stop talking on your phone, that's what I have to do. If you're in the middle of the row then usually we can wait till after the show is over and then ask you to del

GENTLEMEN'S GUIDE TO LOVE & MURDER -- Previews  Oct 26 2013, 11:42:44 AM
I saw the show in Hartford and even then I wasn't entirely sure of the voice-over, only because Monty just sat onstage during it and didn't engage the audience personally, which he then does in song anyway. Ken was pretty good in the show when I saw it, very funny and could play both romantic and slightly awkward when the show called for it. I did think that because the show went through so many deaths in Act 1, it left most of the romance to Act two, which I wasn't by then entirely interested i
