I echo everything stated above. They also have TodayTix app there in London.
Whenever I go to London to see West End I normally buy full price for the shows I *really* want to see (I max that category to 2 shows per visit). I recall paying 70 GBP for a 3rd row center orchestra seat to see Everybody's talking about Jamie. For a similar seat in NYC, that would have cost me at least $200. For the remainder of the shows, I normally use TodayTix or TKTS.
I agree. Out of the entire cast, I am most excited to see Sierra as Lily as she was angelic and amazing in the concert two years ago. Here's a clip of her from two years ago (skip to 1:40).
SomethingPeculiar said: "Harry and Lauren's MFL performances are so brilliant because they each rely so much on the work that the other is doing, and they're so specific to this version of MFL. They would feel out-of-place in any other My Fair Lady.
As a result, I think Tony voters will give My Fair Ladyboth leading actor awards."
I agree. In recent years, the Best Revival Musical Tony normally goes to whichever musical wins Leading Actor or Leadin
Another vote for In & Of Itself. It's a show that makes you think about identity and oneself. Amazing! No spoilers from me but I thought it was worth every cent!
I'm surprised Boys in the Band sold 97.2% of tickets (which is still great for the first week of previews.) Given how they sold SRO later in the week, I would have thought that number to be over 100%.
For peace of mind, I'd buy tix in advance especially if those two shows are the main reasons you're going to NYC.
If you like risk/chance, then enter the digital lotteries for both and then enter the in-person lottery for Mean Girls. If none of those work, then do the cancellation line and last-minute Stubhub. If those don't work either, at least Dear Evan Hansen will be touring to LA in the near future.
Each Broadway season is different and unfortunately only 5 actors can be nominated in that Tony category. We can all say he's not that great or he is great etc. but ultimately the Tony nominating committee simply thought that 5 other actors (Norbert, Alexander, Grey, Gavin, and Ari'el) were better than Alex this season.
Try to sit on an aisle seat as well so it'll be easier to exit. I've noticed a good number of the show's audience tend to be on the older side who may walk slower especially on the stairs.
Both are not selling out despite the Tony nominations. If OOTI doesn't do well on the Tony's, I have a feeling it will close sometime in July. I loved both productions. For OOTI, any seat is a good seat but I hope to score a front row seat sometime now that it's warm outside. For Carousel, if you like dance choreography, try to get a seat in the front mezz.
I went to the last row of balcony and it's not a bad view at all. Sure it'll look more like a diorama but it's full-view and certainly a better view than the worst seat in London's Palace theatre.
I remember watching this Ham4Ham a few years ago and Lea wanted to be one of the Schuyler sisters:
Also, a few years ago didn't Lauren Ambrose get the role in Funny Girl despite Lea wanting it? Ultimately that Bway production got cancelled due to investors backing out due to the recession.
I think one of the reasons show have previews is to develop onstage chemistry and to work on pacing, etc. Opening night is ~3-4 weeks? They'll have time to work all these things out.
