The website does not show a lot of seats available, but still it is always on the TKTS board. Are these balcony seats, partial view? Thanks!"
I got my seat from TKTS. They had a range from $59-98, which puts seats all over the theatre, from front balcony to orchestra (I went on the Saturday of Thanksgiving w

Here, let's run the numbers, shall we? CATS supposedly cost about 100 mil to make, although that probably doesnt figure in the last-minute work, which no doubt raised the overall budget to 125, maybe 150 mil, because of overtime and rush expenses. That mean for this to even break even, it has to clear a quarter billion dollars in receipts.

Perhaps a decade ago when it was still running. Now? I wouldnt be quite so sure. CATS has name recognition, b

Yikes. It was like an Old Navy ad had a baby with Glee. None of it made sense. I don’t have high hopes it will sell any tickets. It didn’t make me any more interested in seeing it. "
What's confusing and doesn't make sense? As you sai

Three female friends (maybe in their 40’s?

It definitely captured their attention. It was interes
Despite Turnaround, ‘Beetlejuice’ Being Forced Out of Theater Dec 10
2019, 07:12:26 AM
The amount of faux outrage and pearl-clutching over this announcement is kind of hysterical. Yeah, it broke a theatre box office record last week (which I'm sure it will hold until... Oh, right, The Music Man is the next show, so until then), and then it dropped off by over half a million bucks this week.
I'm sure stuff like this happens all the time, we just don't get Times profiles written about it. And now Beetlejuice has the gift of free publicity and seven months more to run. None
Starting a Podcast? Nov 25

Sally's advice is all great, especially the outline tip. A friend's podcast became a massive hit right out of the gate because they had a clear idea, five clear segments to every episode, no rambling (until they got popular enough people literally asked for it), and a set schedule.
I was at the 6:30 performance of The Lightning Thief last night, and it was depressingly attended. My $39 balcony ticket was "upgraded" to a seat in the orchestra that is listed as $149 full price on Telecharge. The orchestra was maybe half full, and there was maybe one or two rows of the front mezzanine with people in seats. I'm sure it was not only because there's likely a limited audience for this show, but that performance time is really awkward (I selected it because I

A trans non-binary person does not identify as the sex they were assigned at birth, nor do they identify as strictly male or female (or transman or transwoman).

After reading these posts, I don’t think I’d see this if I was offered free premium seats...even free, why waste a slot. I wonder if the will be the average (Not obsessed with the album) theatregoer’s view after the rev

To me it seems like calling someone a “homo.” I’m not a fan, especially since we “cis het” males are usually not in positions of power when it comes to musical theater - quite the opposite, actually. And I don’t think The New York Times has had a straight male theater critic since Frank Rich left in the 1990’s. It&r

I have scoured the web trying to find out how to reach him and have come up short - no fan mail address, no PO Box, not even an email address. Does anyone have any information on how I could get in touch? I dont intend to be invasive or relentless in anyway, I simply wish to personally thank him for his work which means the world to me on a very personal level.
