Best touring production you have ever seen?  Nov 5 2019, 06:18:23 PM

I saw the current touring production of Miss Saigon in LA this past summer and on Broadway two years ago. Both were remarkable! The current tour is Simple amazing. Beautiful sets... wonderful cast... great spectacle!



Best Scene Changes  Aug 28 2019, 09:41:00 AM

The set changes in  “Curious Incident of the Dog in the Nighttime” were amazing! A technological marvel!

Tony Trophy  May 1 2019, 11:17:35 PM

That is actually very cool, and I’m sure you are correct. That said, look at the engraving plaque on a Tony... it doesn’t look as finished as the Oscar. Just an opinion. 

nasty_khakis said: "This is silly. All major awards have an engraved plaque that says the category and name of the winner and they all look the same "quality."

You usually carried the award around for the night and sent it back into the organization to be engraved. Now th


Tony Trophy  May 1 2019, 11:04:34 PM

dramamama611 said: "That's exactly what he's referring to, the award name plate.



Yes, the Tony Award which has been around since 1947 (ish) needs a facelift. Who wants some traditional old thing in their home to gaze at.



And by the way....nearly every award has them - although they are often put on the statues after the awards show.


 

Thanks...I think I’ve seen the other major awards (maybe not).


Tony Trophy  May 1 2019, 10:50:32 PM

A statue...ok. But the little plaque on the front is (really it is) very similar to a bowling trophy. I doubt the Academy Awards or Emmys use a ‘double stick tape engraving plate’ as part of their award, statue, trophy. 



Tony Trophy  May 1 2019, 10:26:13 PM

JSquared2 said: "You’re probably the first person to ever call it a “trophy”. What is this, a bowling tournament?"

It is a trophy! Okay...Tony Award (now it sounds like something froze the Westminster Kennel Club). What would you call it? And, do you like the little engraved plaque on the front?

 



Tony Trophy  May 1 2019, 10:06:06 PM

Alright... The Theater Wing can do better. But, I do love Broadway, so it feels personal.



Tony Trophy  May 1 2019, 09:48:26 PM

Sorry in advance if this has been addressed before, but.... I love the Tony trophy (the coin that spins is the bomb, as is the pillar... ) Its the ‘Things Remembered’ engraving plate thatI just don’t understand. We can do better.



KINKY BOOTS- sets April 7th closing  Apr 3 2019, 02:23:07 PM

Saw KB last Friday night... fantastic performance. I think the audience had many return visitors as everyone knew the show. Likely super fans saying goodbye!



Hamilton-Convince me.  Feb 4 2019, 02:33:20 PM

I’ve seen Hamilton 3 times on Broadway (once with the original Cast). I love it, and see or hear something new each time. That said...it’s a Broadway show, meaning sing and dance to live music. If you like that sort of thing, you will enjoy Hamilton. If, however, you need to be convinced, you may not enjoy the show. 



Can an 11 year old see the show Hamilton alone?  Jan 14 2019, 04:23:13 PM

Nope... The fact you are asking this question indicates you are not comfortable. That’s all you need to know.

There have been a lot of comments about the ushers...all good souls, but none have signed up to watch your child. In all honesty I’m sure she would be fine, but do you want to answer the news media’s questions about why such a youngster (not even a teenager) was left alone for 3 hours if there was some problem.  I wouldn’t!



Hamilton changes venues in Puerto Rico. Fear of protests and lack of police  Dec 22 2018, 12:38:50 PM


Is Hamilton cancellation line still insane?  Dec 5 2018, 04:26:57 PM

The easy answer is the cancellation line is not AS crazy as in the past. I’ve seen Hamilton twice, both times using the cancellation line. Most recently (2-14-18) I was walking past and the cop that controls that block herd us talking about the show. He said “tonight’s the night...short line.” Forty Five minutes later, just before the curtain, we were ushered to our seats (Center orchestra, Row F, on the aisle). The cost $219 each.

Cancellation line tix are 1) u


Lady Gaga-Funny Girl-WOW  Oct 8 2018, 01:01:10 PM

Just saw that Lady Gaga is coming to Broadway! Will it be the next Hello Dolly? Or is it a big mistake?



Hamilton ticket help, please!  Sep 25 2018, 02:42:01 PM

 Stub Hub and Ticketmaster tickets will be available, at roughly the same price as today, up until the week of/ day of the performance. The Richard Rogers theater is actually small (1300-ish seats), so there really isn’t a bad seat...especially in the Orchestra...even on the far sides.

I was very fortunate on a Valentines Day, a sorta holiday like Halloween. We were walking past the theater and I was telling my boyfriend how I previously got tickets in the cancellation


How flexible are box offices with weather issues?  Sep 10 2018, 01:12:59 PM
My experience (from about 5-6 years ago) is they are tough but reasonable. I was stuck an hour from NYC because of a big snow. I called the day of the show and they let me change tickets. When the new day arrived...another major storm was predicted so I called the day before and asked about getting tickets for that night (the storm was going to hit the next day). The box office agreed. But... it wasn’t a super popular show, so they had a good supply of tickets.

August cancellation line anyone??  Aug 11 2018, 01:29:36 PM

Alma Givoni said: "I'll be in nyc in september and really want to see Hamilton and wonder what should I do. Does anyone has any august updates on the cancellation line? I can buy a 350$ ticket in advance but obviously don't want to spend that much if possible."

I’ve been very lucky with the cancellation line. I tried 3 times and have been successful twice (row E center orchestra for $219 on Valentines night). Broadway in general slows down in S


CAROUSEL Closing 9/16  Aug 8 2018, 09:40:31 AM

I saw the show two weeks ago. All of the stars (Lindsey, Jesse, Renee, Josh etc...) were truly amazing. I could have sat in my seat all night if the individuals would have continued. The dancing was great, but the voices were showstoppers!

The show itself, however, is an odd story. It’s too bad the second act didn’t work as well as the first, but it’s a tough show.

The individual performances were wonderful. It’s not likely this much “Broa


Fun place to grab dinner?  Apr 4 2018, 09:32:55 PM

Try Becco on 46th between 8th and 9th. They have an amazing $25 homemade pasta special (all you can eat), and $30 bottles of wine. The food is great, so is the service, but you will need to reserve about a month in advance as it’s very popular.
