How "kiddie" is The Lightning Thief? Aug 14

I’m an adult and I really enjoyed it when I saw it at the Lortel. (I’m a teacher and taught the book for years, so my familiarity with the story probably added to my enjoyment, but I still think I would have had a good time not being so familiar with the book.)
Peter Dinklage in Cyrano Aug 14

They have a subscription discount for 35 and under, but not a discount on single tickets. (That subscription discount wasn’t worth it for me when I was a subscriber, because I really only cared for one production each season.)
I had the same experience as Wee Thomas. I subscribed for two seasons of The New Group (the first for Sweet Charity), and I didn't care for most of the shows each season. It wasn't worth it for me; I'm not subscribing again. I'll buy a single ticket to Cyrano. I did already see Cyrano at Goodspeed last year, so I won't be completely devastated to miss it, though I do think tickets should be available to the general public.
I saw The Prom last night and was glad I caught it before it closed; I thought it was a very sweet show. There was also a surprise wedding onstage after the show, which was really special to witness.
I was there last night. I'm a fan of hers and enjoyed it very much. It felt much like a traditional Regina Spektor concert. She chatted a bit, but not much; the focus was on the music. Two dancers (one male, one female) did accompany some songs (I wish I could tell you their names right now, but I don't have my Playbill with me; I can share them later). One was a tap dancer, and Regina even danced with him during one song, which was cool. She did a short bit devoted to Broadway: she t

Won the lottery tonight (my first time entering). I’m in orchestra M 20, which seems to have a decent view.
My feelings about this production are somewhere in the middle of the opinions voiced here. The acting is fabulous across the board. Danielle Brooks is a standout; she's perfect as Beatrice. The dancing was also wonderful. The pacing dragged a bit at times, but overall it didn't feel overly long to me.
VotePeron said: "I've never seen or read MAAN before, and was shocked to read in the Playbill that it is regarded as one of Shakespeares funniest comedies?
I saw this last summer at Goodspeed. I loved the music, and I didn't think Dinklage was a bad singer at all; his performance was wonderful (of course his acting was strong). The book needs work, so I'm curious to see what they change, but I'm very excited to see it again.
I wonder if any other cast members from Goodspeed will continue with the show (for example, Haley Bennett as Roxanne).

I’m at the matinee of Burn This right now and my TDF seat is in the front row of the balcony.
I really enjoyed this play. The staging was impressive, all the actors in the young, all-female cast were great, and it was a creative, modern take on the classic tale. If you do see it, I recommend being familiar with Macbeth beforehand.
The audience is on three sides of the stage. On the fourth side, red, yellow, and black salvage drums are stacked up. They sometimes bring salvage drums onto the stage to use (the smaller yellow ones are often used as chairs, and a few larger ones are on wheels and are brought out occasionally). There is a piano in front of the salvage drums, facing away from the audience. There's no band, just the piano (played by a few different actors). There is a telephone pole amongst the drums, and
Thanks for sharing your thoughts. Do you remember what the running time was? I'm seeing it this weekend. (And I also wish CSC would bring back the Playbills!)
I saw Tatiana Maslany as the guest actor and enjoyed it very much. I think it's true that it varies quite a bit depending on who the guest actor is that night. Tatiana was clearly moved (she cried more than once during the show), and I felt that her emotional connection to the material and to Soleimanpour helped draw the audience into it as well. Some parts worked better than others (I wasn't crazy about most of the audience participation segments), but overall I thought it was&n
