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:

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.
CT2NYC said: "If anyone gets a code for $30 tickets inthe future, please don't share it on here. I don't think it's a coincidence that the months-old code was pulled days after it was posted here.I learned about it a while ago from a friend, and I shared it with a few close friends, but that's it. Not everyone needs to know everything."
I hesitated before posting it, but the organization that issued the code said specifically to retweet
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.
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!
