I was not thrilled with Carmen in her last Encores production. She must have been better suited for Bright Star which I did not see. Of the three stars she is the least interesting choice in my book.
I am surprised that theatres do not have recycling trash cans for paper inserts and playbills in the lobby. A friend of mine who works a front of the house position says that people are always handing her their programs as they leave for recycling. At first she would say we do not recycle but then patrons would become angry with her so she now just takes the programs and says thank you. She says the theatre recycles in bulk which includes bundles of playbills that are from the month prior, bu
There had been rumors about this for some time so I am happy to see it all come to life. LCT gets points for doing something completely new. I love Lapine as a director and I think he has a strong sense of flair and fluidity. The only stumble I remember was the Moss Hart play which as ok. Harry must love the LCT family!
My friend who works at City Center said that Meatloaf was in row H on the center isle in the orchestra so Show Tunes R Us should not have been too far behind. Must have been a thrill for him as much as he was anticipating the show! They also had brought in some of the expensive motorcycle display outside of the theatre which was drawing quite a crowd.

I read an article about Mindhunter on Netflix with Mr. Groff and he said that the director asked him never to smile which really worked for his character. I loved season 2 BTW.

It sounds like City Center is basically running a TDF window out of their own box office since the TDF tickets are 44 to 49 dollars. Perhaps they end up getting more money by running the discount out of the City Center box office. Maybe TDF takes a percentage.

No. A friend of mine works at City Center and gives me comps all of the time. I primarily go to Encores or anything that is theatrical. I have sat all over the theatre so I am pretty familiar with the sightlines. I have gotten to know other people that work there, casually, just because I have been there so much.
I heard from some industry people that they have been giving out tons of free tickets in the orchestra and grand tier. I do not know how to score a free ticket however. I think the tickets have been going to industry connected people.

When you get out of the theater head to your right, there should be a glass revolving door saying something like access to 56th street, go through that. Turn right and sometimes they'll have barricades set up but you should see some steps up to another door which

I also wonder the same, and I don't think it's by choice. When I've seen him play his music live recently, he's made comments about not having enough money to afford to live in Manhattan. Now I'm not sure how true that is, but I think it points to the idea that
Although there was a fair amount of ridicule which does not sell tickets...….Perhaps the Good Morning appearance on Monday will help sales which appear to be struggling.
"It sounds like the reviews that will coming out in the wee hours of the morning will all be titled A Hot Mess At City Center: Jesse Green will be racking his brain for any sort of current relevance. I think if the critics take it for what it is they will not drag it through the mud."
