Courtenay Collins - Question  Aug 21 2019, 12:01:46 PM

If she's going to see a show, it's an evening out for her in her home town after being away for a number of months in New York. I'm sure she'd really rather just relax over a nice dinner before the show with whoever is going with her or even by herself than be peppered with questions by a fan. Obviously, I don't know the specific interactions you've had with her but in general, fans interpret the kindness of a celebrity's willingness to respond on social media

Marisa Tomei will lead THE ROSE TATTOO on Broadway This Fall  Aug 19 2019, 01:44:02 PM

CT2NYC said: "CT2NYC said: "Access10 seats available now!"

For SCOTLAND, PA, as well
"

Thanks for the heads up. Just picked up a ticket for both shows. $10 each and no fees. Can't beat it. Normally, I wait until shows open to see them but I'm only in town until September 20th on my upcoming trip and won't be back again until after both shows have closed.so this really worked out perfectly.



Box Office Transparency About Rush Seat Locations  Aug 19 2019, 12:12:34 PM
In my experience, the folks in the box office will always be clear if the rush seats are partial view. Many times they will offer that info without being asked and sometimes they even stamp partial view on your ticket if it doesn't already say it when it's printed specifically cause they don't want someone coming back later complaining that they didn't know they would miss stuff. Getting more detailed info beyond that is luck of the draw.

The chili was really good and there really wasn't that much prancing. You should at least consider paying some bad money. 



Anyone think Cher will be at the last Cher Show on Sunday?  Aug 18 2019, 11:39:06 PM

BrodyFosse123 said: "Of course she will. Just like she was on opening night. She’s one of the producers and expect a nice curtain call speech. She’s quite proud of her show and the nice run it had. She will be there to close it. "

"Of course she will.  She will be there to close it or she'll send a nice tweet. Definitely one of the two. Pretty sure at least a tweet."

There, fixed it for you.



Damon Daunno in Oklahoma!  Aug 18 2019, 08:18:52 PM

quizking101 said: "To be honest, people are probably coming to this for the show itself and (Stroker aside) not necessarily the cast, which might make the producers feel like they don’t need to announce their absence."

By that logic, they shouldn't have any reluctance to announce it since it likely won't generate a lot of cancellations or people deciding to wait to buy tickets. It's just low risk good will. But like others, I find their very de


Are Playbills environmentally friendly?  Aug 17 2019, 08:12:39 PM

First, please stop comparing London theater programs to U.S. playbills. The London programs are elaborate, full color affairs printed on good paper stock. They're worth paying for and fall somewhere between a playbill and a Broadway show's souvenir program for which people gladly pay $20-30 or more.

Second, you could make this argument with almost anything. How many on this board take Ubers by themselves to the airport instead of taking public


Apparently there are worse things than cell phone usage in the theatre  Aug 16 2019, 06:05:41 PM

Wick3 said: "From the stories I've heard, urinatingin one's seat is worse than cell phone usage. Yes you paid $$$ to see the show but please go to the bathroom when needed. I don't even know how theaters clean these cushioned seats."

I don't even need to hear anyone's stories. I think it's safe to say as a general rule, using your seat as a porta potty would be pretty high up there.



Betrayal Seating Discussion  Aug 16 2019, 04:33:56 PM

I do think this would be great to see as close as possible, too - looked like plenty of leg room in the front row orch!

I imagine that if this production was more involved regarding stage design, these would not have been very good seats. Given the spare nature of the stage, they were goo

I don't discount anyone's opinion but it's still one person's opinion and not clear if the obstructions he encountered in Orchestra Left are as bad or even bad at all for Orchestra right. I'm holding E10 as well but I'm going to wait for a few more reports to come in before i call Telecharge in a panic.

Hiddleston, Cox led BETRAYAL Transferring to Broadway  Aug 14 2019, 08:33:05 AM

I hadn't seen this thread and I just stumbled onto the $25 ticket deal by checking their twitter to see if they had announced a rush policy.  For the couple of performances I checked during the week of 9/10, the week after opening, there were a number of side orchestra tickets in the first 6-8 rows available for $25, usually the first 2 or 3 seats in from the far end. $36.50 with fees if you can't make it to the box office to buy them. If you've been waiting for the

Barry Manilow ‘fighting horribly’ with hubby manager amid Broadway flop  Aug 14 2019, 03:08:56 AM

qolbinau said: "The numbers might look good if this was a long running show but if they budgeted for quick and sharp revenue with expectations of Bruce Springsteen I can see how they would be disappointed and the costs might not have been controlled well enough."

If they had expectations of Springsteen numbers, they were clearly deluded. There's only one Boss.



Questions about Lombardo's "Looped"  Aug 14 2019, 03:06:40 AM

I saw this in its original production at the Pasadena Playhouse in 2008. Harper was excellent and commanded the stage. Agree with the previous part about the male role being underwritten. I would guess it's intentional, designed as a device to basically cue up her stories and best lines and otherwise not get in the way, as it's fundamentally a one woman show. I enjoyed it for what it was, a bit of nostaglia and an opportunity to see Valerie in a great role. Not surprised it didn't

Barry Manilow ‘fighting horribly’ with hubby manager amid Broadway flop  Aug 13 2019, 01:35:27 AM

It's a slightly less that 4 week run. It's grossing a tick less than $1 million a week for a 5 performance/week schedule. It consistently has an average ticket price around $155-160 which this week was only behind Hadestown, Hamilton, Lion King, Moulin Rouge and TKAM, and it's filling 80+% of its seats in a 1500 seat house. He's pulling in about $200k per performance in grosses. I know this board has its favorites which it will gush over endlessly and the shows it ju

No Bad Seats?  Aug 11 2019, 01:59:40 AM

IdinaBellFoster said: "The newer/renovated theaters are the most comfortable - The Hudson and The Lyric.

As far as sight lines go, I don’t think there’s a bad view at The Music Box.

The Music Box has always been one of my favorite theaters. I'm also pretty partial to the Vivian Beaumont. Pretty clean sight lines there from almost any seat.
