While I liked the set design for what it was, I'd like to see them move on to a new style of design for the dramas that they choose to set in modern day clothing.

I also saw it last week and 100% agree with your thoughts. In addition to your points on Jonathan Cake and the costumes I also did not care for the lighting or set. On a positive note, Kate Burton was very good - easily the best part of the show.
While I appreciate any night at the Delacorte, this one was disappointing - which is
Has anyone rushed this one recently? I am thinking of going with a friend next Saturday to either performance and wondering whether folks have been successful/what times they have arrived.
No - Met rush tickets are sold online. Be sure to be on the page, logged in and refresh exactly at 12 noon on weekday or whatever time the rushes was for the 2 Saturday shows.
It's pretty easy - suggest you check it out for a performance before the one you are targeting so you can give it a whirl.
I attended the premiere on Friday night and am a pretty frequent Met attendee. I thought it was a departure from the usual Met productions and I enjoyed that. It was all sung.
What I liked: the costumes and color palette (very 1950s Mad Men esq.), the mystery/suspense, the story, Isabel Leonard, the images used in the set - it was primarily all projected/on screens, sort of like Mean Girls or DEH, except the Met had multiple layers of screen.
Saw Twelfth Night tonight and loved it! What a great show and production. I usually prefer more straight forward Shakespeare performances at the Delacorte (like this year's Othello) but I loved this. I thought it was fun, accessible and very enjoyable. It had a sort of Great Comet vibe too it in some ways. It was also interesting they had some sign language throughout much of the show, similar to what they did with The Runaways, the gala performance this year, which I also
Have there been anymore discounts for this? Seems to be a lot of seats available and I'm interested in getting tickets but wondering if I should wait for an offer.
I was curious if anyone had seen Cirque's Paramour since they took a brief hiatus at the end of August and made some changes? I saw it on 8/21, right before the hiatus, and my friend and I were both really disappointed. I was interested in hearing what they changed and if anyone felt the show has improved? We noticed that the soundtrack was released on 8/26 so we were assuming there were unlikely to be lyric/story changes - but not sure how that might work.
I won the matinee lotto today and sat front row center. I didn't have any trouble with the view personally. There was a room on the right side of the upper level set I could not see, but as best as I could tell, no significant action occurred on that part of the set anyway.
On the other hand, I had the opposite experience recently. i won the lotto for Fully Committed and I arrived 4 minutes past the deadline of an hour before curtain to the box office. They refused to sell me the ticket at the lotto price, but offered me the same seat at a higher price. I declined as I was so annoyed at how the box office spoke to me. My own fault (and the MTA

I was at the show tonight - my first time! I went to the box office in early Jan after reading here about partial view tickets and I bought a partial view ticket for $177 - orch row M on the aisle, right side facing the stage, and it was fantastic. I am pretty sure I missed almost nothing - the only thing I couldn't see was the upper pa
