I would love to see the 3D Hamilton!

I voted for The Anarchist also. It was just god awful! I wrote in Outside Mullingar as one of my worsts. Insipid!

On the other hand, I was happy to see Fun Home and Hamilton on the Best list. I was especially pleased to see The Invisible Hand on there. I loved that play. I feel it didn’t get the attention it deserved. 

My friend also won the lottery for the Dec. 8 matinee, so I got to see it again! (Also great seats, Row H. Thanks, NYTW!)

I had seen the first preview (on Nov. 25), and I wish my memory for these things was better, because I'm sure there were lots of changes. But here are my thoughts. Putting them in the spoiler box:

JBroadway, thanks so much for posting the song list! 

I read that new songs were written for the stage version, so I assume that's what I Will Dream For You must be.

Carmen, does this show have original music, or is it like Once, which used the music from the movie?

I’ll be there Monday and will report back. 

Yes, that side orchestra was terrible! I’m so glad the Irish Rep was able to renovate. I sat in the mezzanine a couple of times and liked the view, but it is fairly high because it has to clear the orchestra (of course). And the orchestra goes up fairly high because of the stadium seating. I mention this because my theater buddy who doesn’t like heights was not completely comfortable up there until she got used to it. 

The email with the code also has a link to use, with the code automatically filled in. It's the email club presale code. I've tried to post the link:

Caroline or Change presale

I'm seeing this Nov. 17, and I hope they've made some cuts by then.

I’m surprised the man didn’t run up on stage and attempt to pee in the toilet on set. 

But kidding aside, the man must be suffering from dementia. 

Maybe my Sunday matinee audience was more sedate, but there was no weed smoking or standing ovations after every song. Byrne told us we could stand up and dance as long as we keep the aisles clear. So that’s what we did. 

I found out via Twitter that new codes are coming soon. I wrote back to ask if they're for the fall shows or the spring shows.

No restrictions that I know of!

The code I posted will work for all the Public shows on sale now. I don’t know about the Spring shows. I hope there is another code!

You’re welcome! That code can be used for all the fall shows at the Public. It won’t work for premium seats though. 

Use code PPLMVR20 for $30 tickets with no fees!

Saw the show today via the TodayTix lottery and loved it. I am a longtime David Byrne fan, but surprisingly my friend had never heard any Talking Heads songs previously, despite having lived through the 1980s! But she loved this show too. Our seats were not together, which surprised me, in Row G and Row H in the center balcony  I can’t complain at all about the view, but I think the mezzanine is perfect for this show!

 

What a fantastic idea!
