I think that having a heads up style warning in a program is fine. There are plenty of people out there who have heard of the show and that, in and of itself is the extent of their knowledge. Having a little warning, like the kind that you put down in your post is fine. First off, it let's the audience know what it is they are about do see.. And, secondly, it also covers the asses of the powers that be at that theatre. That way, a sensitive audience member can't walk up to someone in

If you think that Come From Away swept the truth of 9/11 under the rug, then you clearly either haven't seen the show or know what it's about.
I was talking to a friend who went to the first Elsie Fest. And, she spoke about how she had a blast. Yet, I did a little google searching and found out that there isn't one this year. Just curious as to what happened. Anyone know anything?
That's what I thought. Like I said, one would think that, if I used them for other events before with zero issue, then I shouldn't have an issue with them. I think that perhaps it was some of the untrue things said about them regarding theatre tickets.
It's not uncommon on stub hub, regardless of the event, for the seller to lower the price of the tickets if it's getting closer to the start time. That way, they may not be able to get what they initially sol it for
I have heard it said more than once that those who are looking for theatre tickets should not use stub hub. That, the tickets my not be legit tickets.
That being said, I use stub hub a lot for both sporting events as well as concerts with that never being an issue. That said, I am on the fence (for no reason other than nerves) to use them for theatre tickets. I am well aware of their fan protection guarantee but still. I was wondering if anyone had any success stories from buying ticke

On the show's website there is a banner that says final performance July first. National tour kicking off some point next year (I forgot the exact date it mentioned.) The thing is I wonder. Is this actually going to tour? I mean, we all know that there are plenty of shows that close that anno

As for the "audience participation" (if you can even call it that) generally, if someone in the orchestra level doesn't get the ball rolling, we may whisper in an audience members ear to do so or at times do it ourselves. It very much fits in with the entire show within a show concept.
I find it sad that you're letting one part of "audience participation" of this show get in the way of what would otherwise be a fantastic evening of theatre. And, the reason why they mention things like gunshots or haze is because it can impact this with hearing issues or respiratory issues.
For the vast majority, audience participation isn't that big a deal by any means.
Maybe it's me, but, isn't it a tad premature to suggest Tina head to the Nederlander when Pretty Woman hasn't even started previews yet. And, Yes, I am well aware that many on here think that Pretty Woman doesn't stand a chance. But, who can ever tell. there've been plenty of shows that folks on here think will tank that have had decent runs.
In any event, The Nederlander is too small for this show. Just to put things in perspective the theatre in London t

I was just watching a video on youtube that was going behind the scenes back when the show was celebrating it's 25th anniversary. While they were talking to people, little bubbles popped up with factoids. One says that the software that operates the chandelier is Microsoft software that came out in 1984. That could possibly say something as to why it's slow.
I feel that the only other show on Broadway that has been around for an extremely long time, one that tourists feel is the show to see on Broadway is Chicago. Now, I've never worked a shift ushering at Phantom. But, I have at Chicago. And, I gotta tell you, seating for that show requires more patients than any other show I worked at. Mainly, that show gets a huge number of audience members ever show that don't speak English. That makes seating tad irkso

And moving the entrance is a good idea because the theater as of now hardly has a marquee and it’s a nightmare with all the foot traffic in Times Square."
Well, for what it's worth, I have ushered in various theatres on Broadway as well as seen shows there. I honestly doubt that
We all know that wishing for a show to close is considered a jerk move. Mainly because it’s kinda not cool to wish for people to be out of work. Shows closing impact more than cast and crew. It impacts ushers too. Now, I don’t know what it says about me when I personally fit into The aforementioned categories and I STILL want this show to close.

RippedMan said: "Was hoping this might go off-Broadway. But guess makes more sense to use everything for the tour. Curious how they'll stage it with the stage manager bits in the house in the bigger venues."
For what it worth, I am sure that they have all that figured out by now. Keep in mind, aside from still going strong in the West End, it's also in the middle of a UK tour as well.
It was a poorly constructed TV show, period. And, I expected more since I love both Friday Night Lights as well as Parenthood.
I honestly feel that this show could have been akin to Friday Night Lights. For that show, you don't need to have an interest in or know thing one about football. But, that which was going on around the characters is what made the show interesting. One could enjoy the hell out of it with zero knowledge or interest of football. Rise, could have, an

Regarding the three musical revivals being nominated, why not? Yes, this year was skimping on musical revivals. However, it could be worse. If you recall, a few years back there were only two nominations. Anything Goes and How to Succeed.
BwayLB said: "^But it would be even more silly if both Phantom shows ran atthe same time. It was just my two cents"
How would that be silly af all? Love Never Dies and Phantom we’re both showing in London at the same time. By your logic are you suggesting that when Love Never Diea opened in London that the London production should have shut down then too?
