Even though its wage bill is high, it only has 8 actors and no orchestra, once reviews come in, it should pick up a bit.

Quite a good season, what is the additional show from this season?

You will be in for a treat if Paddy Constine reprises his role, a treat for some of the boards men and one or two women.

2018 - 2019 Touring Season  Jan 31 2018, 08:50:49 PM

Just a quick questions.

A lot of theatres rely on season subscriptions, people stump up a lot of money for a package of shows, so what happens to a subscription if a theatre typically Los Angeles or San Francisco take on a long open sit down such as Hamilton or in the past Phantom or The Lion King? I mean no one is going to renew to see the same show 5-6 Times?

Phantom - once upon a time, there was a producing organization called Los Angeles Civic Light Opera - and they would produce shows in partnership with San Francisco Light Opera that would play both Los Angeles and San Francisco. Ahmanson Theater - LA  Jan 24 2018, 05:53:58 PM

Never understood why the Ahmanson doesn’t join forces with the Curran in San Francisco and become joint presenters of shows.



Curran San Francisco Competing with SHN (sort of)  Jan 24 2018, 06:26:50 AM

Thank you for the above thoughtful responses.

I find it very sad when I was in San Francisco last month and you see some guy asleep on the side-walk outside the Orpheum, no blanket, no cardboard just him in his clothes on the bare side walk., here in London we have the same problems with rough sleepers which equally saddens me, I would be happy to pay more taxes to help these poor souls.

A very close relation to me was homeless, this resulted with him dying on the streets. My re

I don’t know how true this is but a friend of mine told me that they have recently moved a lot of homeless people to San Fran?

It's been like that for years. And who is this "they"?

Sorry meant "they" as in federal governmen

She even went out without her warpaint on.

Now Bette isn’t earning, will she ride the subway?



Was The Revival of Miss Saigon Considered a Failure?  Jan 20 2018, 04:52:56 PM

Curious why the OP has decided to start a thread on this subject, despite not seeing it him/herself, despite ample opportunity whilst visiting the city on business many times?

Cameron Mackintosh revived this show, for no other reason than out of all his shows, this had the most requests to be revived.

For an avid theatre fan such as myself, it was the only show that gave an opportunity to see 3 shows on Sunday.



Ahmanson Theater - LA  Jan 18 2018, 01:48:23 PM

Looks to be Jeanine Tesori and David Henry Hwangs’ Soft Power.
