Worst Broadway Show of the Decade?  Dec 22 2019, 03:45:47 PM

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. 



Why do theaters sell twizzlers and other noisy snacks  Dec 8 2019, 04:56:16 PM

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. 



 Nov 7 2019, 07:43:27 PM

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!



Can I make a 5:17 train (Penn Station) after The Sound Inside Sunday?  Oct 28 2019, 08:29:15 PM

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). 



Can I make a 5:17 train (Penn Station) after The Sound Inside Sunday?  Oct 28 2019, 07:56:39 PM

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),



Broadway trip - Times Square/midtown hotels with no resort fees  Oct 22 2019, 09:10:07 PM

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

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



Best cheap hotels closest to Bway?  Oct 7 2019, 09:14:12 PM

Mike Barrett said: "So if I’m looking at a first weekend of November trip, do people suggest I book a room the week of? I’m fine doing so if people beleive this gets me best absolute price"

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



Hugh Jackman in The Music Man  Sep 14 2019, 10:17:13 AM

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   



Once on this Island Tour  Aug 27 2019, 10:28:46 PM

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



Moulin Rouge **Pre-Show Spoiler Request**  Aug 22 2019, 09:11:14 PM

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.



Hadestown Tour  Aug 13 2019, 02:09:08 PM
I absolutely LOVE Hadestown and it was by far my favorite musical since CFA.

I am very skeptical of how it will your given the stage mechanics and lighting. The Broadway lighting for this was imo the best I’ve ever seen.


In Search of Comedies  Aug 10 2019, 09:14:42 PM

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.



Broadway Grosses: Week Ending 8/4/19  Aug 5 2019, 03:52:21 PM
Moulin Rouge set a Hirschfeld box office record.

Not surprising but still.


Favorite Broadway Theaters  Aug 3 2019, 10:17:25 PM

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).



Is Tootsie Closing Next?  Jul 18 2019, 01:25:08 PM

IdinaBellFoster said: "I think they'd be smart to hang on for a bit. There's so much closing, they're bound to get some of that business. They need a new marketing push."

The show also needs a new book and score imo  



Favorite Plays?  Jun 30 2019, 06:47:51 PM

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.



What were your biggest theatrical disappointments of the season...  Jun 10 2019, 02:25:34 PM
Burn This - I expected it to be entertaining but it was a very big MEH. It just ... ended. No chemistry between Kerri and Adam was a big factor.

And Tootsie. The more I think about it the more I hate it.


Best/worst stage door experience?  May 14 2019, 08:56:32 PM

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. 

 



Tough time deciding on plays, need help!  May 14 2019, 08:46:44 PM

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. 



Hadestown Reviews  May 11 2019, 03:25:35 PM
I’m here now and it’s intermission. Jessie Shelton is on for Eva and is doing a fantastic job. First time seeing it so nothing to compare to however.
