Phantom ticket 'scam'?  Aug 23 2019, 10:38:10 AM

Justin D said: "I think the $25 ones are also seasonal, and go up in the summer"

No, the only time they go up is on the weekends. But, then again, Phantom is far from the only show that ups it’s lower priced tickets for weekend performances.

 

ETA: I believe, though could be mistaken that the 29 dollar tickets get bumped up to 49 on weekends.



Phantom ticket 'scam'?  Aug 22 2019, 08:45:23 PM

CouchPotatoLatke said: "From what Iremember, as long as that ticket price was at one point available for a given performance, they are in the clear to advertise as such. There probably were $23 tickets, but they may have already been sold."

This is correct. Phantom does sell 29 dollar tickets for the last couple of rows of the mezz. Therefor, they aren’t pulling the wool over anyone’s eyes as it were. There’s a world of difference if they said that


Apparently there are worse things than cell phone usage in the theatre  Aug 16 2019, 12:08:47 PM

As someone who attends Broadway shows, I think that I'd be more taken out of the moment if a fight broke out, than say, something along the lines of a crinkly candy wrapper, cell phone usage etc. 

And, as someone who works Broadway shows, I'd also rather deal with the same thing. At least I know I won't be risking getting punched in the process of stopping the aforementioned things. 



Apparently there are worse things than cell phone usage in the theatre  Aug 16 2019, 11:42:23 AM

There's an article in the NY Times that talks about how there have been many times where the audience attending West End shows have gotten physically violent amongst patrons. And, one of the stories mentioned was about someone getting punched for telling a woman to turn off her phone. Goes to show, that, no matter how bad a situation is, there's always something worse going on elsewhere.

Selling one rush ticket for Mockingbird today at 3  Aug 4 2019, 12:12:37 PM
I jus got a rush ticket for Mockingbird. Its balcony K 19. I am no longer able to attend and wanted to see if there was someone who wants it.

The cost was 39 dollars, and, like all rush ticket seats for this show its balcony partial view. PM if interested


Is Jordan Roth the most successful theatre owner?  Aug 3 2019, 09:06:33 PM

I'd have to say the most successful theatre company is Nederlander. In addition to Broadway, their big thing has been touring houses for both theatrical productions on tour and concerts, they own dozens nationwide. Not to mention, they own I believe (and this is off hand, so I can be mistaken on the exact number) four West End theatres. Some of their more noticeable locations aside from Broadway/West End are Chicago. There's the newly remained Nderlander theatre there. And, the theatr

Rename a theatre for Hal Prince  Jul 31 2019, 04:21:03 PM
I believe they can. For example, the Schoenfield was named after Gerald Schonefeld, someone that worked for Shubert but had zero connection to the world of Broadway beyond the Shubert offices

Tourette's And Being A Respectful Audience Member  Jul 31 2019, 07:52:22 AM

I have Tourette's as well. However, based upon what I read from the OP's post, mine is far minor in comparison. In fact, when I do tic, many folks think I am sneezing.

Now, in addition to that, I have worked with kids with autism for years. Another population that some don't like to see at the theatre because they can be disruptive. Now, while I am fully in support of the TDF's autism friendly performances, those with Tourette's or other cognitive issues that can

zainmax said: "HogansHero said: "as has been rehearsed here many times, it is highly unlikely for the standard Broadway show (as opposed to a comedy act or the like) because there is no incentive to undertake the cost and complication."

Can the Bway League get involved? Not sure how GalaPro's rollout worked.
"

I have stated it before and will again, this is nothing but a pipe dream and will never be done across the board on Broadway.


Non-Smoking Contract for Actors  Jul 23 2019, 12:53:27 PM

BrodyFosse123 said: "Andrea McArdle has mentioned she had a clause in her ANNIE contract she couldn’t skateboard, which she did extensively."

I feel that would be different than smoking. There's a chance with skateboarding that you can physically get injured. And, with that, not be able to preform until the injury is healed. There are many producers who aren't a fan of the Broadway Show League's softball games for the very same reason. They don'

Hammerstein grandson on Oklahoma!  Jul 11 2019, 01:44:28 PM

adam.peterson44 said: "Islander_fan, what makes you feel like Billy's behaviour is glossed over in Carousel?

Not only does Carrie immediately urge Julie to leave him the first time she finds out about it, but she also tells Julie that she is better off with Billy dead, and Julie *agrees* with her. Having the character's wife and her best friend agree that she is better off with him dead is quite the opposite of glossing over his behaviour!

In that


Hammerstein grandson on Oklahoma!  Jul 11 2019, 10:13:40 AM

You know something After Eight? All your posts make me think of a quote from Henry Ford. "Whether you think you can or you can't, you're right." 

In other words, it feels like you go into every show, knowing that there's no possible way on God's green earth that you'd enjoy it. But, if you can go in with an open mind, things regarding your viewpoints of contemporary theatre may change. Who knows? May happen. 

As for the changing of th

Falling debris hurts workers at Golden Theater  Jul 6 2019, 01:14:53 AM

Hogan, you've got no clue what you're talking about. The union of course sprung into action. However, there could be things that the union can't pay for in full. Say, for arguments sake extra care or rehab. They may help foot the bill on things like that, but not pay for the full amount. Furthermore, there are other things to think of. Such as, the stagehands that this happened to are now out of work for awhile. Did you ever stop and think that there's a chance that those who

Selling 1 rush ticket to Beetlejuice tonight  Jun 28 2019, 01:39:35 PM

I got a call from one of my broadway theaters that they need me to fill in ushering. Meaning, I can't go tonight. Ticket is in the orchestra and all I am asking is what I paid for it. 43 dollars PM if interested. 



Does the box office know about understudy appearances  Jun 25 2019, 11:14:29 PM

The odds of box office staff knowing general understudy schedules is beyond rare. They are, for the most part, knowledgeable about two things when it comes to ticket sales. One, for example, say you've made a trip to the box office to buy a ticket to Hello Dolly. However, you picked a date that Bette was scheduled to be out and Donna Murphy in. The box office knows that info and will let the buyer know so they can make an informed decision. Also, they know the refund/exchange policy for t
