Do Lauren Ambrose, Henry Hadden-Paton, Norbert, and Diana Rigg sign at the stage door? Thanks in advance! Also, could you mention if you saw the show in previews or more recently? Sometimes actors do it in previews then stop or vice versa.
I think Children of a Lesser God is the only show that is on the cusp. Both Spongebob and Once on this Island will get a fair number of nominations, including Best Musical/Revival. Margaritaville won't, but the producers will probably keep it open long enough to have a number on the broadcast.
Children is in a trickier situation. The Best Revival nominees will be Angels in America, Three Tall Women, Travesties, The Iceman Cometh, and ... something else. When
Thank you everybody for your advice, and especially for the heads-up that some of the principal cast might not come out (which, of course, is their prerogative). Jamie Parker, Noma D, Poppy Miller, and Alex Price all did not come out. Everyone who did was very nice and super friendly.
I also echo what others said that the stage door was very calm. I think it's because the barricade is so long that it's mostly a single layer of fans. So people
Stage door for Harry Potter? Apr 25
2018, 11:45:49 AM
Thank you both, and for the heads-up about Jamie Parker. I saw him in the History Boys as well, and he is a wonderful actor. I’ll cross my fingers that he will come out!
I am seeing Harry Potter tomorrow, and I was wondering what people's experiences have been like. (I apologize if there is already a thread; I searched but didn't come up with one.) Does pretty much everyone come out? And has anyone tried after the matinee on a two-show day? I would guess that the actors would wait until after the second show, but I wasn't sure. I might have to leave right after the second show, so I wouldn't be able to stick around to d
I've seen Tony Shalhoub at the stage door several times over the years, and he'd be very, very far down on my list of people who were rude at the stage door. He was the only actor who came out the stage door consistently at The Price, and he spent a lot of time with the large number of fans there. I've always found him to be polite and respectful.
I am kind of confused about what exactly happened. Usually, if there are a lot of people at the stag
Amaklo, I hear you. The whole ticket-buying process for this show is tiring.
On another note, there are seats available for Weds Apr 25 at multiple price ranges, including Orch J25 for $199 per part. Dress Circle L123 on the same day is $165, so the J25 ticket looks like a good value.
Orch D5 is available on that day for $299 per part.
I think 6 months is the most I've ever seen for a UK actor here. Equity won't let them stay here indefinitely, although I don't know if there is an actual explicit cutoff. The cast of The Play That Goes Wrong was here around 6 months (Mar 9 - Sept 17), which is also in line with the HP actors saying that they are here through the summer.
The Matilda actors were from Mar 4 - Sept 1.
So I think they will definitely be here through at least
AlanR2, a big thank you for pointing out the change in the refund policy, which I wouldn't have known about if you hadn't mentioned it. And also thank you for noting that good seats have opened up for April -- I was able to get a great seat for a few weeks from now! I'm very excited!
I don't think it's strange that one would walk into the Friedman thinking that the play was centered around Joan. The advertising for this production is focused on a close-up of the face of the three-time-Tony-nominated actress playing the title role, with no one else and nothing else in sight.
Stagedooring is fun. Just be prepared that the actors may not come out. I have not been recently, but the DEH stagedoor was extremely crowded last fall,and many actors will only want to deal with that a few times a week or not at all. There were times when only one or two of the DEH actors came out after the show to sign. On the other hand, if anyone from that show comes out, they will almost certainly try to sign for everyone, so there's no need to worr
Tom Hollander is also a possibility for Leading Actor for Travesties. But I would say the current frontrunners are Garfield, Jackson, Metcalf, and Lane (if he gets put in Featured). Potter has got Play, Sets and Lighting virtually in the bag. Costume, Director, and Revival are completely up in the air right now.
There are 11 productions of a play/revival of a play that have already opened, with 8 more yet to come. None of the 11 that have already opened hav
RippedMan, thanks for replying about the seat location. Sounds like it was a good one!
I'm really looking forward to seeing this show. It sounds like the stage door situation is under control, which is a good thing. This is an incredibly talented cast, but not one that Ebay dealers are going to be hunting down, fortunately.
BroadwayConcierge, I want to give you a big THANK YOU for the heads-up that Shalhoub might be taking a leave from the show. I was able to see it on Sunday with the full original cast, and I am really grateful that I was able to do so.
In terms of the Tonys, I agree that Shalhoub will be nominated, but won't win. I'm not sure either of those have changed because of the leave. Many of the musicals this season center around women, and I think the only el
I'm the one who asked about the volume level. Rock musical doesn't mean uncomfortable. If people are visibly wincing, the sound designer has some work to do.
Some more information about the history of the show for those who are unfamiliar with it:
The show was first mounted in 2008 as 90 minutes, one act, with only one main story, which was Uncle Fred Flits By, the current second act story. It was put on in the Newhouse on Sunday and Monday evenings, when the regular show in that space was dark. Then it was re-mounted in 2009, with the main story alternating between Uncle Fred and Haircut. Then it was mounted elsewhere as
