I was curious since the show usually does something nice for new/departing cast members."
I didn't know that it was Brady's last show (hence why I realized my luck for winning the lottery for his last show -- I only found out at stage door when fans and actors were mentioning it -- but he

I did this exact same thing to pick seats for my friend and me when I won it for yesterday. Right side boxes, 2nd and 3rd row, closest to the stage, one behind the other. I concur, we bought thought the v
I read Pygmalion and My Fair Lady in middle school and watched the movie in class about 2 decades ago. I didn't *think* it made any impression on me but apparently I could remember names of main characters and quotes after all this time. Where does my brain store this stuff? Fascinating!
Months ago when I bought the ticket, I "remembered" the two main characters had a "love story" that was felt creepy to me even as a kid, recalling she was about 20 and he i
Oh wow! I hope it doesn't suck! I loved this movie as a kid and I just absolutely loved the soundtrack. I'll have to go listen to it again. Just watched the trailer linked in the article... the memories. Oh when there were CD stores...

Got to the check in location at 1 pm. There still weren't many people there at that time. Was one of the first people directed to get in line for General upstairs. Actually ended up next to dirily (hello!).
An epic production. I didn't know the show and wouldn't be considered anyone's fan in the cast, other than Norm Lewis. Just loved loved loved John Legend's performance. And Brandon Victor Dixon blowing the roof off as Judas. It was an exhausting experience but it ended up being worth
Jason Shatz said: "To further clarify for those who are confused:
The Booth Theatre is not named after John Wilkes Booth, whokilleda Lincoln. It is named afterEdwinBooth, whosaveda Lincoln. (Namely, the president's son.)"
From Wikipedia: "Booth did not know the identity of the man whose life he had saved until some months later".
There was a stack of ~50 of them at the Tribeca one tonight (almost all were still shrink wrapped). Wonder what happens to all the unsold ones?
Anyway, huge thanks for the heads up, as well as all the updates and tips and tricks! I thought I missed my chance when I didn't stop by on Sunday. This wasn't even on my radar but it's a cool little souvenir to remember the show by and at such a bargain price!
I've only been there once (side seating) and got put in the table in the back against the wall next to the doorway / entry to the kitchen, it was a raised chair which was nice. There was a pole in the way but didn't obstruct my view of the stage, so it was perfectly fine. Grabbed a ticket to this one too so will see where they put me this time. Venue is intimate.
Cool little place, wish they had more Broadway performers more often!
I paid full price for this (so $$$) and I think it was almost nearly or just about worth it. I wasn't familiar with most of the shows but knew most of the performers well. So I wholly lacked context for most of what was performed and the venue felt too cavernous for it. I don't know if it was just me and where I sat but the sound wasn't too good, felt muffled at times and when the orchestra got loud, the soloists were drowned out.I've been at Carnegie Hall before so
I hope Gavin Creel is okay and has a speedy recovery! I love both these actors so much (so much!), they're both on my "see everything they do" list. And Hello Dolly is such a wonderful show. I must see about catching Santino Fontana.
Any one going to this? The performers list looks amazing:

30 Under 30? Feb 6
2018, 11:02:06 PM
It depends on which program you are taking about as there are more than one and they have different rules, and some strictly mean under 30, others mean 30 and under. Care to elaborate which program?
MTC only requires one valid ID as their policy states your guest can be of any age.
Second Stage policy is you both need to be present with valid ID showing you are 30 or under.
Happy Groundhog Day! Here's to 6 more weeks of winter!!
I really enjoyed this show and even though it didn't make it into my overall favorites, it was definitely one of my favorites of the season and I definitely wanted to see it again/ take others/ recommend it to more people.
"Hope" is one of my favorite numbers ever, the song and the sequence are/were just so brilliant.
Shakespeare in the Park 2018 season: Othello & Twelfth Night Jan 23

Twelfth Night the musical adaptation was one of the best things I've seen. A "celebration" is a great way to put it. The cast was so good and I'm glad some of them are coming back. Andrew Kober was hilarious.
I didn't have any previous exposure to Bobby Darin, so I actually read his Wikipedia page first. I really enjoyed the storytelling overlaying the musical selections. The performances were pretty spectacular in the capable hands of the very talented cast and band, which of course, largely features Jonathan Groff. I'm in the camp where I'll listen to anything Groff and he delivers. Extremely charismatic.
The first act is exciting and up tempo. Time flies as y
I really enjoyed this when I saw it with my friends. It's really silly and different than anything else if you've never seen it before. If I recall correctly, the actor for Banquo is always chosen randomly for that performance (not sure if this has changed), and he/she proceeds to get smashed.
There's usually Livingsocial or Groupon deals. You can use the money you save to buy a couple drinks! I'm not really an alcohol drinker but it definitely felt more fun a
My mom almost bought us tickets one year and I told her to hold on while I did some research. So glad I did.
There are constant commercials depicting attendees ("attendees"?) shilling for the show on the Chinese news/entertainment cable channels that my parents watch on every commercial cycle. They must be flushed with cash.

Someone more experienced might be able to give a better estimate, but the box office doesn't open until the new production has "moved" in, Cats is still there till end of year. So maybe 1 or 2 months before previews?
