Exchanging Tickets on Telecharge  May 9 2018, 01:07:49 AM
It is realistic - not definite, but realistic. They will tell you it is up to the show producers, put you on hold for a long period of time while they call the appropriate people, and then they will get back on the line and give you an answer. If you are allowed to switch, they will charge you for both new sets of tickets, and then once the charges have gone through, they will refund the two original sets of tickets. You won’t be able to just switch the tickets without any new charges/cancella

Lea Salonga will play final performance in ONCE ON THIS ISLAND on June 24!  May 8 2018, 11:18:53 PM


Part of me thinks I’d like that last Monday free to have a relaxing last dinner that night before I fly home on Tuesday, In that case, I’ll cut Carousel and shift Spongebob and OOTI accordingly."

 

 Keep your aggressive schedule intact.  You can have a relaxing dinner when you get home!



how to fill 2 slots  May 4 2018, 04:59:20 PM

Pick 2 of these 3:

Three Tall Women, Bands Visit and Once On This Island.

I thought Bands Visit was good, not great. Maybe I expected too much since everyone has been praising it so much. I saw it with the guy from Oslo in the lead, maybe it comes off better with Tony Shalhoub.  OOTI and Three Tall Women are both great.

The other shows you are interested in are not in the same league as these three.

What if it extends again?

Thank you haterobics ...... for the funniest thing I have heard in quite awhile.  This was one of your best comments of all time.  I laughed so hard I


Band's Visit Seating Q  Apr 21 2018, 04:59:16 PM

Lot666 said: "CT2NYC said: "...if I were to see the show again, I would want to be in the orchestra, towards the front."

Hey, I'm looking at ticket options for our next NY trip and am wondering how close one should get to the stage. Is it high and/or wide? I love being close, but don't like to be constantly looking up or scanning from side to side. There are currently center orchestraseats in the third row and the sixth row; which would you recom


Dinner near Lincoln Center  Apr 19 2018, 06:59:53 PM

Lincoln Square Steak is extremely good. It is a bit of a walk .... about 5 blocks. The owner is always there making sure everything is going smoothly and you are enjoying yourself. It has a glitzy almost cheesy Las Vegas vibe, but delicious food. They have a steakhouse menu plus an Italian section with pastas and veal / chicken parm.

 

As another poster suggested, Lincoln Ristorante is also pretty good.  Expensive but extremely convenient.  It is a Beautiful resta


Possible to Sunday matinee and fly out at 6:50 from laguardia  Apr 17 2018, 05:58:53 PM

I think you could do it. Come From Away gets out at 4:40. In your favor you have no bags and are tsa pre check. So you are in a cab by 4:50 and at the airport no later than 5:50. You can do it. I do this sort of thing every time I visit New York. As long as the show you choose is done by about 5 pm you should be fine.

I went to Angels after opening night and they didn’t offer anything.

Angels in America dinner break recommendations  Apr 5 2018, 12:47:08 PM

We saw the show this past Saturday and we ate dinner at Gallagher’s. It is right next door to the Neil Simon. It is an expensive steakhouse. The service is always fantastic.  Each table has two servers not one.  And there are as many ancillary staff walking around as there are patrons.  I love the swing/classic jazz music they play. The steaks are great. They come with a special in house steak sauce that is basically the best marinara I have ever had. I highly recomm

MY FAIR LADY (2018) Previews  Apr 2 2018, 05:22:12 PM

We saw the show this past Friday. I loved it.

The person I was with picked up on a couple little things that bothered her that I didn’t even notice. She said that it annoyed her that a handkerchief was thrown in a trash can in Higgins’ house and it sat there in the trash can the entire show. With a large house keeping staff and the show taking place over a period of many months, my show mate felt the handkerchief should have been removed. Why would Higgins’ m


Angels in America seating  Apr 2 2018, 05:05:15 PM
I just saw the show on Saturday. We sat in orchestra center row E, which was just about perfect. I like to sit close for most shows. Rows B, C and D seemed like they would be ok but the stage looked really really high. I was thinking the first row would be a limited view, but I did not sit there, so maybe it looks ok if you are actually sitting there.

Iceman Cometh ticket for sale 4/2  Apr 2 2018, 03:11:10 PM
I’m sorry you haven’t found anyone .... but go to the show, and enjoy the extra shoulder and leg room from the empty seat. I saw it last Thursday and thankfully I was on an aisle. The play is long .... you will appreciate having the extra space.

2018 Easter Bonnet Collections  Mar 26 2018, 11:55:10 PM

Thank you. I've seen the show multiple times. Has anyone ever slipped in the door to donate for an item? I don't think they check."

Yes, I have done that several times for Hamilton.  I stood at the door just before the show let out and walked in when they opened the door and bought a bunch of signed stuff.  They had a guy standing at the door, he was used to people wanting to come in as the show let out.  There were parents waiting at the d


BROADWAY VACATION Thread  Mar 26 2018, 05:49:10 PM

Depending on how this comes or doesn’t come together, it sounds like it could be great or really bad. I will hope for great.

My family took a European vacation the same summer that European Vacation was released. I will never forget laughing my ass off with my mom and dad in the theater.



Kennedy Center In The Heights Transfer?  Mar 26 2018, 01:36:50 PM
Maybe if you are Uber successful like Lin Manuel it would seem really cool to have more than one show on Broadway at the same time. I think that would be a feather in his cap he may be interested in ......

Dad & Daughters need one last (must-see?) show  Mar 21 2018, 09:21:48 PM

I have teenage daughters too. Judging by your other show choices and your picture, I would suggest these:

Mean Girls
My Fair Lady
Hello Dolly

Three Tall Women
Yerma at the Park Avenue Armory (no Wed matinee but they have Monday evening performances)
Admissions at Lincoln Center
King Lear at BAM with Antony Sher and the Royal Shakespeare Company (but no Wed matinees)

If the Mint Theatre has a new production in April (I do


DEH worth it?  Mar 20 2018, 05:12:45 PM
I’ve seen it with and without Ben Platt. I would say the high prices were worth it ... until Ben left. It is still a really good show, but Ben made it special.

Does anyone know if the stage is high/tall or not? I am going with a friend with visual issues and it would be great to sit up close if the stage is not super high ... thanks
