Does the Rockettes Summer Spectacular count? That is literally the worst thing I’ve ever seen in any theater anywhere in my life.

If not, I hereby nominate the drek that was The Cherry Orchard. 

Two weeks ago at The Sound Inside the woman behind me was smacking on her gum so loudly I had to tell her mid-play to stfu. 

It’s like the Amtrak quiet car, gotta police it yourself as much as you can. 

Unfortunately even in London they now sell loud snacks, including popcorn and crisps. 

Oh man I have one spot left for aMarch trip and thought it was going to go to Caroline, or Change. 
 

This might bump it out!

Thanks. Yea no SD for this show (we hardly ever do them). I think the quickest option is C/E from 50th St. I think we’ll try - I’ll know when we are on the subway if we can make it and can exchange tickets then). 

Seeing a Sunday matinee and was curious if it is running quickly enough for us to get to Penn Station? Next train isn’t for another 3 hours so want to try to make the 5:17. 

I already have tickets to the late change but can exchange them if we see we make it, just curious if I should bring my backpack with us and try or leave it back at the hotel to collect later (after a long dinner I guess),

Bryant Park Hotel, 40th btwn 6th and 5th.

Only place we stay now, and we’ve probably tried 25 different Manhattan hotels.

November 3 is the marathon, many hotels already booked and the rest are high peak. Waiting probably best but good luck.

The last two ORC rows are $229 but without knowing the theater and overhang situation no way will I buy tickets into the theater is named. That’s just dumb.

My wife requires an aisle seat and you can’t guarantee the wishes on sale are actually aisles   

FWIW stage seating for the Hershey, PA, stop is general admission and $22.50. It’s $15 cheaper than rear balcony seats.

The Play That Goes Wrong had a great pre-show routine as well, both on stage and through the theater. Funny enough it confused a lot of people.

The Play That Goes Wrong could work. Set doesn’t have to be too large - you could work around the upstairs tilted comedy scene no problem imo.

Studio 54 should be imploded. 

The redesigned Hayes is lovely imo. I equally love the Booth and, while many here won’t agree I’m sure, find the Music Box a nice place to catch a show.

The Hudson is great too but the top balcony can feel far from what I’ve heard (never sat up there myself).

The show also needs a new book and score imo  

My all-time favorite is God of Carnage. I think it’s a brilliant look into social dynamics. 

Other tip-top plays include:

Glass Menagerie

Ferryman

Sweat

Bear

View From A Bridge

i have never seen Rumors or Pillowman - I’ve only been able to be close to NY for 11 years. I’d love either to be revived.

We don’t stage door often,  it a few stand out.

Best was Sweat. Allison Wright came out and chatted for about 15 minutes - The Americans had just ended and she was talking about her role. There were maybe 10 people out there. 

Worst was this past weekend with Burn This. Driver fans were just rude. 

 

Seen them all too.

Constitution is the clear winner and it’s not a close race. It’s the best play this year not named The Ferryman.

Driver gives a strong performance but Burn This is booooooooring and there is no connection between Russell and him.
