Cheap Three Tall Women Tickets?  May 7 2018, 01:32:55 AM
I’m 5’11 and did both the Richard Rodgers and Golden last week. Sat in the rear mezzanine for Hamilton and orchestra non aisle seat at the golden which was far more comfortable. I too usually try for an aisle seat but didn’t find it an issue not having one.

Miss You Like Hell at the Public  Apr 29 2018, 08:15:26 PM
Saw this today and actually really enjoyed it. I agree with others who said some of the supporting cast aren’t used nearly enough. The big focus is definitely on Gizel and Daphne who are both excellent. I don’t know if this will see a broadway stage but I imagine if it does it will be restaged. If you have a chance I would say go see it.

First time for  Apr 29 2018, 12:23:34 AM
I too went into this totally blind. Saw it tonight having bought tickets months ago because of Mueller (who I would see in anything), Henry and Mendez. Full disclosure, I’m not a big R&H fan or a fan of that genre in general but figured I’d give it a go. I really wanted to love it but in the end just liked it. Yes the dancing was amazing but I felt that the actual story was a secondary thought. I didn’t find myself getting invested in any of the characters or the plot and constantly wanted more

Cursed Child cancellation line  Apr 25 2018, 06:57:31 PM
I don’t know if people just no showed but the entire row in front of me in the balcony today was empty for the matinee. We’ll see what happens tonight.

Hamilton Seattle  Mar 11 2018, 11:29:22 PM

So I've now had 24 hrs to process what I saw last night. After seeing the original company I was hopeful that the magic would be replicated and it was. Nik Walker was out and it was Desmond Sean Ellington's first 2 shows as Burr yesterday. I think he got better as he went along. His Wait for It lacked the magic it had with Leslie Odom Jr but he redeemed himself and knocked it out of the park with Room Where it Happens. I think he will only get stronger as he does the role more.

Saw this tonight. So great. Will write a more detailed review tomorrow once I’m home

Need Help for April  Feb 24 2018, 07:02:06 PM
I agree with you about the plays being stronger. Usually I have no problem picking a musical to see but this year as of now I’m not seeing any new musicals on my trip (line up is hamilton (again), carousel, and miss you like hell which I guess counts). I’m on the fence with what to see for my final slot as I’m also seeing Harry Potter and children of a lesser god. I’m intrigued by Mean Gurls, OOTI is too pricey and the bands visit doesn’t appeal to me. I’m going last week of April so still have

What is the Off Broadway show to see?  Feb 12 2018, 12:42:18 AM
I’ll be in the city at the end of April and I always try and see one off broadway show ( a couple years ago it was a last minute cheap ticket for a show about a boy named Evan and last year it was if I forget). Struggling with what to see this year although leaning toward miss you like hell as I’ve never seen a show at the public....

The HAMILTON Tour Thread  Feb 9 2018, 12:25:45 AM
I’m seeing it March 10. Will be an interesting comparison as I saw the OBC a couple years ago...and seeing the broadway cast again in April

2018 - 2019 Touring Season  Jan 22 2018, 03:11:54 PM
Looks like DEH is coming next season to Vancouver as they say you get first access if you buy season tickets this year.

2018 - 2019 Touring Season  Jan 22 2018, 09:14:08 AM
Vancouver just announced there season. It’s not great...but not completely terrible:

BOM (called it)
Les Mis
Beautiful
Illusionists
Come From Away

Meh


2018 - 2019 Touring Season  Jan 18 2018, 07:38:31 PM
Vancouver is going to present their lineup Monday...it’s likely gonna suck and include either Wicked or BOM as it does every year

Dad need rec's for 5 shows in April please.  Jan 7 2018, 10:23:29 AM
I’m in the same boat. Already have tickets for a return visit to Hamilton, Harry Potter, and Carousel. Have 3 spots left and trying to decide between:

Lobby Hero
Children of a lesser God
Mean Girls
OOTI
Miss you like Hell
Sweeney Todd

Never been to the public and do want to get another play in. So much to see and so little time!


Seattle 2019 Season announced  Jan 7 2018, 02:37:42 AM
It warms my heart to know there are others in Vancouver who love broadway as much as me!

Seattle 2019 Season announced  Jan 6 2018, 06:27:29 PM
With all these shows coming to Seattle I’m holding my breathe that some of them make the three hour drive north to Vancouver. The last few seasons in Vancouver have sucked so here’s hoping for a better season this year

Shows To See In June 2018  Dec 7 2017, 11:53:01 PM
I’m struggling too. For my April trip I have 7 spots and currently have tickets for Harry Potter, Hamilton, and Carousel. Currently deciding what to fill with the last 3 slots. Deciding between OOTI, Bands visit and maybe a play but not sure what plays still playing in April. Can’t make decisions....

THE BAND's VISIT Reviews  Nov 11 2017, 12:00:52 PM
This show has me torn. I keep flip flopping on whether to buy tickets for my epic 7 show visit in April. With only three slots left to fill I keep going back and forth on pulling the trigger. I agree with those above who say it’s a weak year for new work. Although this isn’t in my wheelhouse I think I would prefer to see it win over a commercial behemoth like Frozen. The reviews make me want to see it but reviews but regular folk makes me not want to see it.

Harry Potter and the Cursed Child Seating/Pricing Thread  Oct 18 2017, 02:42:43 PM

April 25. Balcr row d seat 6. $40



HARRY POTTER AND THE CURSED CHILD to Take the Lyric Theatre in 2018  Oct 18 2017, 12:06:27 PM

That was insane! I was trying to get two tickets for myself and a fellow BWW message board contributor but by the time I was able to find tickets they were well over $200. It looks like $130 tix are way up in the balcony in the middle. I ended up getting a $40 tix in row d of the balcony so was happy not to have to break the bank. On the date I wanted I couldn’t get 2 seats together. And for people asking you can only buy tickets on one day with one code



Thoughts on the current Hamilton BROADWAY cast  Oct 17 2017, 03:00:56 PM

I’m going for a return trip this April and I’m really hoping for a new cast. Was lucky to see the OBC so im taking my parents this time. They will live whoever is on the stage but I’m really hoping for a replacement for Lexi
