He's certainly got his problems. But I wouldn't call him a sociopath since he demonstrates empathy for others. And it's clear that he doesn't consider himself to be superior to others. Those are two of the main defining characteristics of a sociopath.
I think he behaves badly, but I don't think it's out of the scope of what many people would be capable of. I don't think he's a hero. But I also don't think he's a sociopath. I think he's just a
JSquared2 said: "If a block of tickets was given to, say, the ad agency, they probably wouldn't know who was using them --- but at least they knowto tell the ad agency one of their people was caught selling comps. Then the ad agency will deal with it internally."
In that scenario, the ad agency may use tickets in any number of ways. They may give some to a delivery boy as a tip. The delivery boy may then give them to his Grandma because she likes theatre. She may
I like Lyric Stage and Speakeasy Stage, and have subscribed to both at times. They do a wide range of plays and musicals, great talent pool and production value. I've seen Floyd Collins, Wild Party, BatBoy, pretty much the entire Sondheim canon, including Saturday Night. Just saw Fun Home at Speakeasy a couple of months ago. And Lyric is doing Pacific Overtures in May/June.
Providence Performing Arts Center in RI has 3100. Having been used to that, when I first started going to Broadway, I was surprised at how small those houses were.
I saw her at the Universal Amphitheater in LA. It was early 80s, so it must have been her Art or Bust tour. At midnight, Bette came out as Baby New Year with Father Time at the piano. Midler unmasked him and it turned out to be Barry Manilow, reuniting for their first time together after many years of not speaking. Twas magical frosting on a magical cake. I think that was one of her more interesting shows.
The issue of consent is literally the dilemma that drives the action. Clara clearly consents. The plot becomes will Margaret recognize Clara's ability/right to consent and allow her to marry. Or will she deny Clara's ability/right to consent and retain control herself. If you take that away, you take the plot away.
Sondheim has said that the purpose of an overture is to begin getting the melodies into the patrons' heads. A song feels more familiar and hummable with repetition. So a song will be better appreciated if the audience has already heard bits of it in the overture.
The opening moments of an overture have been known to make me ugly cry, just from the excitement of what's coming. Unfortunately, as others have said, folks today tend to not realize it's part of the show. They thi
I've managed box offices for 30 years. You cannot sell the same seat twice, under any circumstance. Regardless of whether you have late seating or intermission or no-shows. Ticket selling software does not allow you to sell the same seat twice. It's set up this way to avoid seating conflicts where two people have a ticket for the same seat. It's also to prevent embezzlement.
Once you sell a seat it becomes unavailable in the system. The only way to make it available again i
I'd wear shorts to a wedding if I thought I could get away with it. I feel that what I wear has absolutely zero relation to the amount of respect I have for those around me. I'm also against dress codes at work. I don't think that what I'm wearing has anything to do with my abilities, my work ethic, my dedication, competence, speed, knowledge, etc. My work speaks for itself; the suffocating little tie they want me to wear doesn't.
Zero interest in Hamilton. I've listened to some of the cast recording and seen some of a bootleg as well as Tony performances, etc. But I just have no desire to see it live.
I saw Allegience in Boston (SpeakeasyStage) last month and the audience was easily 25% Asian. I've worked in theatre marketing for many, many years. One thing I notice is that theatres tend to ONLY market to non-white groups when they have a "non-white" show. For instance one theatre I worked for did enormous sales efforts to the black community for a production of Having Our Say (a play with a cast of two, both black women) but then ignored that communi
