Juniors on 49th Street was very average at best the last time we ate there. They were definitely going for bigger portion sizes (quantity) rather than quality. Enjoyed our meals more at Ippudo, which is a few blocks away from TS.

That depends on who applauded. If it’s the same demographic who did to the latest Jurassic World film, best to stay away.

I struck up a conversation with the guy working there when I stopped by over a week ago. There was another customer who he was talking to prior to me arriving. Both were very friendly and we talked about the shows currently playing in town. We also talked about how some of the merchandise for DEH changed after Ben Platt left the show.

When I was in the city over a week ago, I went to the box office to see what kind of tickets they have for a show the next evening. They offered me side orchestra seats, Row G near the aisle at regular prices. Depending on the day of the week, you may get lucky just walking up to the box office and see what they have.
ANGELS IN AMERICA Reviews May 18

I’m adding my thoughts after seeing it over a week ago. I have not seen any version of this material (stage or film) nor was I familiar with its storyline. My expectations were high considering its cast and with Marianne Elliott as the director having previously seen her work on “Curious Incident”.
This production is spectacularly done. The staging, sound and lighting designs are beautifully done. The angel’s appearance at the end of Part 1 brought down the house. Audiences were appl

A little too late responding but you made a great decision with those seats and buying it now. I also sat at the even 200 side and saw Lea quite a bit facing us. Saw the show the night before the Tony nominations were announced. Since then, demand has gone up. Enjoy.
Speaking of the Tony's, I saw the show the day the nominations were announced. That evening, all the signage around the theatre were already changed to reflect the Tony nominations it has gotten. It's amazing how fast those were put up.

While I wasn’t exactly blown away by TBV, I do expect it to win Best Musical and that is just fine compared to the rest of the nominees. I wish I would have liked this one a lot more. But the long pauses are just that - long. Someone said that “it felt like a play with music, as opposed to a “musical””. To me, that just sounds about right.
As others already noted, the ability to exchange will depend on the theatre. I tried to upgrade my seats to Angels In America last week for the same performances. Telecharge can't do anything (after being on hold for the longest time and a dropped call at that) and they had to contact the theatre. A day later I got an email that them saying the theatre can't do anything either. Had to resolve the situation in person at the box office. Turned out they had
Each May, the New York Drama Critics’ Circle votes on the best play, foreign play and musical of the season. This year it chose not to give a best-musical award. What’s more, the NYDCC (of which I am a member) made the same call in 2002, 2004, 2005 and 2010. To be sure, nearly all of the 19 members loved “The Band’s Visit,” but it won last year’s best-musical aw
“Once a universal cultural touchstone, Broadway musicals have now become a revolving door of unchallenging confections and straight-from-Hollywood adaptations.” Agree or disagree?
Based on what I'm reading so far, it looks like a lot of what was in Denver survived on Broadway. That's unfortunate as I found the Denver pre-Broadway run to just "meh".
I bit the bullet. Giving the wife an early Christmas present. Between the Audience Rewards and a current AMEX offer, it brought the tickets down a little.

He's got a good part and the best male performer in the company. As expected, his character was booed during the big reveal. The funny thing is, the audience around me didn't know what to do during his final bow. You can hear the applause dyin
theatregoer3 said: "As a kid, I saw a lot of theater at the Buell. That place is ENORMOUS. The proscenium is the largest I’ve seen. I saw Sunset, Miss Saigon,Phantom (the original), and many other large shows there and they did all feel small within the scope of the proscenium. Not surprised this feels small in that space."
The Buell is massive. While the sound is great, I didn't care for it much. It has no character and just a big hall.
I've seen Luwoye both on Broadway and in SF. I am quite partial to seeing it in NYC as the Richard Rogers theatre is such a great small and intimate theatre. But $400 is too much for rear mezzanine. Catch the tour instead. Currently, the touring cast is great.
Here are my thoughts after seeing it Tuesday night:
Avid broadway fans will pick this whole thing apart. So to me, the show was just alright. The reaction of the crowd, however, was very different. They were enthusiastic and loved it. That's why I think there will be very few changes between Denver and Broadway.
With the material being so thin as it is, I was looking for spectacle for consolation. But that was nonexistent. There is no wow factor. If
