Boston Friend said: "Ben Platt was there tonight. He seemed to enjoy it."

I’m sad he didn’t or hasn’t posted about it yet I always look forward to his tweets about the shows he sees. I’m still very excited yo see this show next month.

Has anybody here seen the show from the balcony like row A or B, and if so how was the view?

I am new to this message board so please forgive me if I am positing this in the wrong area but I wanted to share a rather disturbing incident that took place at the stage door of DEH on Sunday evening post matinee.

Taylor came out to sign for what seemed to be 300+ adoring fans, one of which was an older gentleman who must have been in his late 40's. He was demanding a photo with Taylor, Michael and R

Capeguy said: "I just got a row AA ticket for May 7th -- will let you know. I'm a little concerned myself but there wasn't much of a choice and that's the only night I can go."

Thank you, I look forward to hearing back from you about the view!

 



The Boys in the Band Seating  Mar 28 2018, 05:55:28 PM

Hi, I’m looking to purchase tickets and I was wondering if anyone as ever sat in orschesta center row AA at the Booth Theater. I know it’s probs partial view (I like the option because the ticket is cheap) and I was just wondering what my view would be like. Do you think I’d miss a lot of the action?



Steven Spielberg, keep ben Platt away from the west side story remake  Mar 22 2018, 07:47:37 AM

MsRed said: "If you watched him in Pitch Perfect you noticed that he's got the same awkwardness/nervousness, and that was before Evan/DEH.

I absolutely loved his Maria rendition, but I do think he seems to play the same "awkward/anxious,just a tad effeminate" character in most of his movie roles (you can see it in "Billy Lynn's Long Halftime Walk" and "The Female Brain" as well).

I'm looking forward to see if he shakes i


Dear Evan Hansen Nominated for an Emmy  Mar 21 2018, 04:54:03 PM

BroadwayConcierge said: "The creation of this Emmy category is making EGOT prospects much more attainable for actors who land a killer role in a hit Broadway show (see: Cynthia Erivo, now probablyPlatt and Jones). It was exciting the first time with Erivo, but if this is going to happenseason after season... notsure how I feel."

Why do you feel as though it’d be a bad thing if you don’t mind my asking?



Dear Evan Hansen Nominated for an Emmy  Mar 21 2018, 04:44:41 PM

I look forward to everyone speculating how Platt’s father is going to try and buy him this award too.



Taylor Trensch as Evan Tonight?!  Mar 2 2018, 03:00:49 PM

Something else I noticed was that the Times in their review mentioned that with Taylor’s Evan the ensemble is able to shine through a bit more. I think they specifically mentioned Michael park and a lot of my friends who’ve seen Taylor made a similar comment (yes they also saw the show with Ben). I just thought that was neat to see the Times point out.

True. Unfortunately, his bad day was televised for posterity.

True. It’s why I could never be famous I have too many off day, not so nice moments lol

Harry Potter access code?  Feb 7 2018, 06:54:17 PM

Theatrefan2 said: "Just a general question but am I the only one who did not want to pay $354 fo a ticket?"

No, I think part of the reason I had trouble finding tickets is because I limited myself to the first tier of ticket prices. I ended up not purchasing today and opted to wait, not because I think the price will go down but I just wasn’t comfortable paying almost 400 dollars for tickets. Maybe after tax season.

SempreLiberal said: "I’m going in 2 weeks for a Saturday matinee.

I got the tickets in June, before Ben’s announcement of his November final date (August) and implementing the 6 show a weeek schedule (September).

I hadn’t realized they kept the 6 show a week schedule for the main Evan, so we’re seeing Michael Lee Brown, who I am told is excellent.

Anyone see MLB?

I’ve seen MLB and also Ben before


Harry Potter access code?  Feb 6 2018, 10:02:46 AM

Good luck to everyone that got an access code. I’m going to check out the general sale on Thursday but I’m not excpecting to have luck which is probably for the best as I look at m6 bank account lol. I know I’ll eventually see the show and I’m oddly okay with waiting a long time if necessary.

I’m not a huge Ryan Murphy fan but anything with Ben and potentially Paltrow and Babs I have to give a shot.

Call_me_jorge said: "Is Diamond just a vacation swing or a permanent addition? She’s not on the cast board, but she’s been posting photos from the music box.
I feel so bad for Mallory, she’s had two weeks vacation swinging and hasn’t gone on, I think it would be interesting to see her in the role since she’s closer to the age of the character than the other actresses.

Diamond is a new permanent addition. She is the new Zoe/Alana co
