PThespian (or anyone else), do you happen to know if anyone is out this week? My daughter and I are coming this Wednesday (8/8). I was really hoping to see Anthony, but honestly I'm so excited to see the show I'll be thrilled no matter who does it!
I'm 35 and will happily be wearing my Hufflepuff robe when I go. And I'm sure my 10 year old will be in her Ravenclaw robe as well. I guess I didn't really think of wearing robes as cosplay since I'll be wearing normal, dressy clothes underneath (as opposed to a Hogwarts uniform type of outfit). Either way, I'm a huge Potter fan and I promise my daughter and I will both be some of the best behaved audience members there, so I don't care too much if someone doesn&#
To the OP, as a big Potter fan, I think you'd enjoy the movies and play a lot more if you read the books first. But some of them are long, and if you're a busy person that could be overwhelming in the amount of time you have. My suggestion if you're short on time would be to watch movies 1-3, then read Goblet of Fire. Then watch movies 4-8. And I have read the script, but if I could turn back time (haha), I wouldn't.

Also, I wanted to add, for you Potter fans, you might enjoy Puffs at New World Stages. I saw that with my daughter last month and I knew going in that I probably wouldn't get it. That turned
WWYD? (I'm obsessing over this WAY too much, but it's just so much $$)
4/4 Dress Circle Left row D 2-4 (on inner aisle)
4/25 Orch Q 22-24 (I think this is about 6 seats in from the outer aisle)
Flights and hotel prices are similar. Kid would have to miss school for the 4/25 show, but she goes to an arts school so I can get it excused. 4/4 is during previews, 4/25 is the first show after opening night. I am short (5'2" and kid is 9, so my
I just got 2 tickets for 4/4. They are the premium seats, Dress Circle R row D, seats 2-4 (I think that's on the inside aisle). I am so excited- we are huuuuuuge Potter fans, so I've been saving up for this, although I'm still experiencing some serious sticker shock. I'm really excited to be going so soon though, and it's during my daughter's spring break so she won't have to miss school.
I really prefer orchestra seats, but haven't seen any o
I saw it on Friday and I was row C, all the way on the end. It was definitely partial view, and I missed out on most of the effect of the social media screens, but honestly it didn't bother me much. 95% of the action takes place downstage, so there were very few moments that I couldn't see someone. I can't imagine loving the show more than I did, even with a better seat.
I was there on Friday night and it seemed like a lot of people that weren't at the Friday show were lined up. I sat in an outer aisle seat in the orchestra near the exit doors, so I was one of the first few people out of the theater, and there were no more spots against the barricade. I ended up on the 2nd row, but it was fine. Everyone except Ben Platt came out, fairly quickly, and they were all very lovely and friendly. It was chilly, so no one was doing pictures, just signatu

We did get a few tickets, so some of our group got to see the show (they sold 12 SRO tickets that day). The night we went, the guy at the front of the line got there at 7:00pm for an 8:00 show (I would suggest getting there earlier). Tickets will be pricier, but if you are desperate to see the show, there is hope. Ask the box office about
Just wanted to share my experience from this morning. I got to the theater at 7:45, and was the 10th person in line. I figured I probably didn't have a shot, but stuck it out just in case. Once the box office opened, there were only 8 standing room tickets available for tonight's performance. There was a guy that got there at 6:30 that didn't get one.
I'm sure it depends on the day, but if you want to have a good chance at getting a spot, I'd be there at 6
I'm a newbie to standing room- I have arthritis in my right hip, so I swore I'd never do it. But I would really love to see this show, so I'm going to throw back a bottle of Advil and go for it (if I can get a ticket). My question- is there a wall or anything to lean on, or are you completely standing up?
I took my daughter to see it last year when she was 6. She definitely liked it. Her favorite thing in the world is Peter Pan, and she understood going in that it was about the author, not Peter himself. Still, her favorite scenes were the ones with Captain Hook and when they were rehearsing the show. She has seen Lion King and Aladdin as well, and I will say those captivated her attention much better, but she did enjoy it- and as other have said, the sadness/heaviness went over her head
I have a 6 year old and so far she has seen The Lion King and Finding Neverland. She loved both! I would recommend The Lion King over Finding Neverland for the 6 year old though (we saw Finding Neverland because she is a HUGE Peter Pan fan, and she wants to be an author, so she loved it, but I think 8 and up would probably better for most kids to see that show). We are reading Matilda right now, so I hope to take her to Matilda and Aladdin next year. I think any of the choices you listed woul

Seating question for those that have been in the Lunt Fontanne- I am looking at tickets for myself and my daughter (6). I am leaning toward front or second row mezz- is the railing too high for a small person to see over on the first row? Other options would be row Q side orchestra on the inside aisle, or closer (row F-H) side orchestra in the middle.
Finding Neverland for kids? Mar 19

I don't think the death of a parent on stage would bother her. It's far more likely to upset me (that Lion King scene...oh.my.goodess.) than her- she will think it's sad but is more likely to focus on the happier parts of the play.
Thank you for the input! Glad to know it's family oriented.
Finding Neverland for kids? Mar 19

I was thinking about taking my daughter to see Finding Neverland this summer (she will be 7 by then), but didn't know if she'd enjoy it at her age. She's been to many plays and really enjoys musicals, so I'm not worried about her behavior or sitting through it, just that she'd understand the plot.
For reference, she lives and breathes Peter Pan. The first time she saw the musical, she said it was better than going to Disney World. I know this is very different, but seeing the story of
