Not sure if this is a one off case or what, but my friend was in town this weekend and rushed Mean Girls for the Sunday matinee. She showed up at 11:55 (box office opens at 12) and was still able to get two center orch tickets.

It's not like scalpers who buy them in hopes that someone will pay a ridiculous mark up fee - this is a ticket that someone is intending to use, and are basically reimbursing the buyer for their labor of waiting in line.
I feel like I pre-emptively addressed your point pretty clearly in my earlier post, but I’ll try again:
I understand perfectly that it’s ALLOWED. But just because something is allowed doesn’t automatically prevent it from beingdisrespectful and/or unethical.
And regardless of what mindset you go into a rush with, the fact remains that a ticket purchased by someone further up in line will deny a ticket to someone furt
Pretty sure she was apologizing asking if that kind of post was allowed on this board.
Really don't see anything wrong with someone getting two SRO tickets as the theatre allows that. When I get in any kind of rush/SRO situation, I assume people will be getting two tickets and am pleasantly surprised when they don't. If the theatre didn't want people to be able to get a ticket for a friend they would change their policy.
Overall I was happy with my purchases, though most of them were gifts for other people. Set up was awful with only half the streets being used.
Mostly upset that I showed up right at 10 AM only to find that people had been there since 9 AM and picked through a LOT - is this a common thing? Every poster I saw advertised a starting time of 10 AM. I wonder what good things I could've gotten by showing up at 9.
So odd - both times I saw it, it was a full cast bow in their final positions on stage, then a Hamilton bow, then a full cast bow in a line across the stage. Eliza didn't get a solo bow either time I saw it.
I think this was discussed in an earlier thread, but the ones that stood out to be were changing asshole to jackass, boring as **** to flat as a lake, and Jason wasn't allowed to say "Jesus Christ" in Jason's Therapy. Oh, and the removed the F word from Cordelia in "A Day in Falsettoland"
Sorry if this has been posted before. I did a search and found a few sparse threads on it. Any info on why there is not a large space broadway museum yet ? I think it would be a great addition to the theatre district, and it certainly can't be hard to get artifacts and mementos for it. The ideas for exhibits are endless and could change frequently enough that people would be repeat visitors. It seems like the perfect way to kill a few hours in the area while you're waiting to head to
To me, the cast recording gives a lot of clues. For example, you can listen to Hamilton's cast recording and you're essentially getting the entire show (w/small of exception of small scene they left out). Same with Falsettos. I would also consider Evita sung through. With Next to Normal, if you listened to the cast recording, there is quite a bit of dialogue left out, and you might be confused if you hadn't seen the show already.
Was anyone else not blown away by this show? I saw it Saturday evening with the highest expectations based on reviews and postings here -- maybe a little too high. It's objectively a good show, and Platt is carrying it extremely well, but I did not leave amazed the way I thought I would - I can only remember two songs. Some would say this show is perfect for me on paper - a young person w/family issues and mental health issues - and Next to Normal is one of my favorite shows of all time -
If you want to get familiar with hearing rap, but don't want to ruin the score, may I suggest In the Heights? Lin raps in a very similar style and it'll definitely prep you for Hamilton.
I too went into Ham without any prior knowledge and was completely overwhelmed in the best kind of way. Would do it that way again if I could .
Sorry, I'm not super well versed in behind the scenes stuff, but can someone kindly explain the difference between the general management and company management? Their duties, are they at the theater each day? etc. Thank you!
I did SRO last Friday if anyone is interested. I showed up at 5:50 and was 8th in line. They handed out the tickets at 6:30. which was awesome, because I've walked past there several times when they weren't giving out the tickets until 7:30. Perhaps they got a bump from the Tonys. They gave out 12 tickets which is the maximum they give out per show. SRO is a great view in this theatre, however, at intermission, me and two of my line pals took three front row center seats that no one h
