Shows with easy rushes/SRO?  Sep 11 2019, 02:02:55 AM
Just look at the weekly grosses report. Almost invariably, the least popular shows that are doing the worst business will be some of the easiest shows to successfully rush and vice versa.

Betrayal Seating Discussion  Sep 10 2019, 11:06:23 PM
I saw the show tonight from E10 in the right Orchestra. With the exception of a very few brief periods where the 3rd actor was off to the side, I could see everything perfectly including the supertitles. And during those brief periods the 3rd actor was silently sitting or standing motionless so really nothing missed there. A fabulous bargain for $25.

So you're saying the site turned and it feels very, very different than the site you joined *checks notes* 5 weeks ago? Interesting perspective.



Monday performances (specifically Tootsie)  Sep 2 2019, 07:31:48 PM
I attended Tootsie on Memorial Day and everyone was in. As others have said, unless there is an unexpected absence or planned day(s) off, it's a normal workday and they should be performing.

What show do you wish you could be in?  Sep 1 2019, 02:54:56 PM

Depending on who's in the cast, I'd say Oh! Calcutta! but just as a stagehand. For the OP, Avenue Q is a good choice but I"d advise you to stay away from The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee.



Mr. Saturday Night to Broadway  Aug 30 2019, 03:31:46 AM

And I think Jason Robert Brown wrote the decade's best score for BRIDGES OF MADISON COUNTY.But I wonder if Billy Crystal intends to play the lead, Buddy, as he did in his film? I fear he's a bit too old. Perhaps the story will be reworked to fit his senior persona. In any case, I'm in!"

Groupon Seats??  Aug 29 2019, 12:19:53 AM

ArtMan said: "Thanks for the info, Uncle Charlie. There wasn't any shows I needed, since my slots were already filled. But they had some interesting tourist/sightseeing items on there, that I would have utilized if it was free. Also, are you finding groupons that you can still use the extra percentage off on? It used to be I could always use it, but now finding in the fine print that promo codes are not allowed. The best one was when occasionally they had the extra 25% off.&

That made me suspicious at first that it wasn't a genuine site, but I've heard only praises from Goldstar, so how can they get tickets for so cheap, sometimes free at times?"

I bought my first ticket from Goldstar in 2005 and next month I will attend my 200th event thru them. I know I shouldn't be, but I get surprised

Overboard movie as a musical  Aug 25 2019, 08:42:56 PM

joevitus said: " A lot of people online will tell you that Overboard glorifies rape.."

Are there really a lot of people online in 2019 actively discussing and becoming outraged at the plot of a long forgotten 1987 rom-com? Really? I wish I had that kind of free time. Let's hope they never discuss making a musical out of Home Alone. The outrage over glorifying and making light of child abandonment and abuse would be deafening.



Overboard movie as a musical  Aug 24 2019, 05:41:27 AM

OMG this could be fabulous. We could fill the orchestra pit with water so when she falls overboard, she really falls into the water. That's a key plot point so her banging her head on a railing or something just isn't going to cut it. How do you have a show called Overboard if nobody goes overboard, right? We could make the first 2 rows of the orchestra the "splash zone" and sell $40 Overboard ponchos. Now for the leads, only one actor could possibly play the Kurt

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.
