I also saw this back in 2017, and my friend and I both enjoyed it. I don't remember it as well as kaykordeath does, but I would go along 100% with what that poster is saying. It was entertaining and leaves you with the "How did he DO that?" feeling quite a few times!
Now, how it will be in a much larger theater, I don't know. I imagine it will lose some or all of the intimacy, and the feeling you might be picked at any moment to participate may be
Chris Dwan is terrific, and I hope he gets to go on!
It’s weird that a price hasn’t been announced for the front-row deal. Plus, why give people the option to buy up to six tickets? Two would have been enough, enabling more fans to get them rather than scalpers.
My favorite thing to do is see new musicals Off Broadway. Looking back, most of them weren't very good, admittedly. But once in a while a Fun Home, Hamilton, Dear Evan Hansen, or Hadestown will come along. The possibility of that happening is such a thrill that I don't mind if the odds are against it!
And yes, I did sit through Superhero, This Ain't No Disco, and Joan of Arc: Into the Fire.
For $35, I'll happily take a chance on The Wrong Man.

The first row seems to be $74. But the first row is labeled C, so I'm guessing A and B were removed for this show. When I saw Alice by Heart, I sat in Row B for $35, and the stage was high. We were able to see okay, but we were looking up the whole time. Row A was rush tickets, and those folks were really straining to see.

This is a great answer. Are you sure Fiddler has a 6 p.m. show the day you’ll be in town? They are few and far between. There seems to be one in October and one in December.
I personally wouldn't want to do it. Fiddler is very far west, also. Use Google maps to see the distance. It's three blocks south and almost two long blocks west. Plus, the sidewalks will be very crowded at that hour, so you may find it hard to make good time.
Unless Fiddler starts late. Which of course is a possibility.
JBroadway, that's an interesting thesis! Not having seen Nathan in the role, I can't say for sure, but it sounds logical. (Ironically, "logic" isn't a word I would use to describe this show! LOL)
I saw the show last night and loved it. Yes, it's not for everyone (my theater buddy was not as enthused), but I found it wonderful escapist fare. The talent up there on that stage is amazing. The direction by Jennifer Warner kept things moving along nic
Speaking of Show Score: I went to two shows recently using member discount tickets. At one show, the box office personnel told me that Show Score hadn’t given them a list of names. They handed over my tickets just based on my showing up and saying I had purchased them. The show I saw last night seemed also unprepared. I’m hoping nothing is amiss. Has anyone else noticed this?
To say “Show Score Cuts Critics” is incorrect. The critics’ reviews will still appear on the site. They just won’t have a number assigned to them.
Someone on All That Chat is implying it’s a cost-cutting measure, as Show Score had been paying people, including freelancers, to read reviews and assign a number value to them. This article says that three staff members read each review. In any case, that is a lot of work. I’m curious
A friend and I saw it tonight and really loved it! I thought it was touching and well done. I didn’t notice any sound problems. The focus on City Center was wonderful and updated the show nicely, along with the two new songs by Lin-Manuel Miranda.
The choreography was distinctive and expressive, and I wish there was more of it!
Anyway, do you think Lin will really show up? Did he perform at the off Broadway version? What are the odds that he will post on Twitter when he plans on going in?

OK but I was LITERALLY thinking the EXACT SAME THING!!! I would love to see him come to Broadway at some point or another - maybe a limited run as Hermes later on in the show's life

JBroadway, I don't know if Green was saying that. In his review, he seems to think the problem with the source material is structural:
Serious and honorable enough to make me ask whether a second draft should be attempted. Ms. Kidd’s novel, which spent two years on the New York Times best-seller list and was made into a movie starring Queen Latifah and Dakota Fanning, has a bit of a “Green Book” situation on its hands. Set in South Carolina in 1964, it’s
I enjoyed the show at the Atlantic and I don't think this going to Broadway is far-fetched. Apparently Brown does have a following. Maybe a limited run? A theater may have a vacancy for a few months that Brown's show can fill. It wouldn't need a large set, scenery, etc.
