Hamilton San Francisco  Oct 26 2018, 02:01:14 AM
I believe a major distinction is that in 2017 it was part of the SHNSF season, versus 2018 when it’s an add-on with subscribers getting first access but no other incentives, such as discount rates. I don’t recall the exact numbers but 2017 season tix sales were double or so over previous SHNSF seasons. So the majority of seats were season tix holders — myself included. Or at least a large percentage of seats were taken up by season subscribers making it appear demand was higher.

I’m su


Question about Phantom (Spoilers)  Oct 22 2018, 08:32:32 PM

romain2 said: "Thanks for your info and the links!

And thank you everyone again for the preparation.
"

Most of all, enjoy the show! Yeah, Phantom (and ALW in general) has its detractors, but it is a marvelous piece of stagecraft in my opinion. From what I've read here and on All That Chat, POTO is kept in excellent tip-top shape and the quality hasn't gone downhill long many long-runs. I think I've read Mr. Prince makes regular visits to ensure


Hamilton San Francisco  Oct 21 2018, 06:50:58 PM

Still grateful I got to see it last year by purchasing a season membership, for six shows including HAMILTON on Thursday evening from Row M center orchestra. Cost was $575 (or $595?). Regardless, $100 a show was a fantastic deal. I got tix soon as they went on sale a year or so before HAMILTON and took a buddy. Friends pshawed us for doing it, but when the time came they shelled out hundreds to see the one show. LOL 

We also got to see the brilliant THE KING AND I, CURIOUS INCIDEN


Question about Phantom (Spoilers)  Oct 21 2018, 06:40:50 PM

When reading this thread I was thinking about the cemetery scene that BalconyClub mentioned. The first time I saw POTO was the tour at Seattle's Fifth Avenue. My sister got us front row center seats, and all these years later I can still see the flashpoints spitting out from the scepter, and at the very end several jets of fire shooting up from the stage (or maybe the crypt on which the Phantom is standing). We all commented later that we nearly got heatstroke from those. I'm not usua

Head over Heels Cast Recording?  Oct 15 2018, 05:35:35 PM

Rachel York tweeted the cast recording is now available on various online streaming services. I'm listening to it on my Napster subscription. Good recording, bringing back some fun memories of seeing the pre-Broadway run here in San Francisco. 



Do shows see each other as competitors?  Oct 13 2018, 01:12:38 AM

Most of the time when I see compliments about other shows, there is a backstage picture, or I can make an easy Six Degrees of Separation assumption that the complimenter knows cast or creatives in the show she/he is talking about. 

Plus, there's a finite number of tickets available during a given time. It's not like they're complimenting eggs or hamburgers or dish soap where people have countless choices and buying one product over another could definitely hurt sales f


Carol Hall Passed Away  Oct 13 2018, 01:02:24 AM

Carol Hall, composer of The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas, passed away yesterday.

San Francisco's 42nd Street Moon is currently presenting Whorehouse. I saw it last Saturday on opening night. Good production. I would have preferred a larger ensemble for the dance numbers and more than a few instruments in the orchestra. But it was a typical scaled do


Movie musicals surprised dont have stage addptions  Oct 11 2018, 09:18:22 PM

I don't care to see another jukebox, but CAN'T STOP THE MUSIC is a guilty pleasure. No big message or moral, just a fun time that might be a cute show in the spirit of PRISCILLA and HEAD OVER HEELS. 



Movie musicals surprised dont have stage addptions  Oct 11 2018, 09:15:56 PM

Oldies m said: " know its a joke that every movie gets a musical these days, but Broadway is days.But its true. So with that being shocked to see dont have stage versions.

 

for me Popeye(1980) honestly I'm shocked they haven't tried to do a stage version of that movie. I dont the sets would be a problem even the climax of the story with the octopus. In fact I think it might do better as a stage version then a flim version. The on


Theaterworks Silicon Valley FUN HOME  Oct 8 2018, 11:32:21 PM




NYFan: Orchestra was completely sold out but not a surprise as it was opening weekend. I’ve seen now probably 30 TWSV productions, both here and at the Lucie Stern, and rarely see lots of empty seats. They’ve got a loyal following and a reputation for high-quality and I don’t think they have to discount or paper the house much.

I wasn’t able to get there for NATIVE GARDENS, was bummed to miss it. The set was amazing from the pics I saw. You may be interested to know


Tootsie - Chicago tryout  Oct 8 2018, 11:22:29 PM

BalconyClub said: "It's the final tryout week."

Hey BC...any significant changes to the ending in the past week? I thought the last five minutes was the weakest part of the show. 



Theaterworks Silicon Valley FUN HOME  Oct 8 2018, 04:02:42 PM

I want to give a shout out for folks in the San Francisco Bay Area. Theaterworks Silicon Valley has produced an outstanding production of FUN HOME at the Mountain View Performing Arts Center. I've seen countless TWSV shows and this one ranks at the top with the best. Add in free parking at the MVPCA and lots of restaurant options on Castro Street, and it's just a great overall experience. 

The cast is uniformly excellent. Moira Stone as Adult Alison is perfect with a g


Etiquette of seat-taking...?  Oct 8 2018, 03:41:45 PM

I miss the days when these questions weren't questions. So many people today have poor interpersonal and human interaction skills, such as people who just slowly edge up to you without saying any type of "Pardon me" or "Excuse me" but just expect you to move by their silent movement. Couple this with a first-time theater goer and I'm just amazed how introverted some people are, particularly young people. 

I was at a performance just yesterday and two pe


Books on Creating Theater  Oct 2 2018, 01:39:03 PM

Following some surgery later this month, I'll be laid up for a few weeks and am lining up all the books I want to catch up on. I'd like to read about "the business of show," and behind-the-scenes creation of productions. I'm not interested in celebrity, biography, and gossip-style books, but rather factual real-life books about the industry. I found a few on Amazon, and wondering if there are others that you found particularly interesting and informative. Thanks!



Tootsie - Chicago tryout  Oct 1 2018, 06:12:09 PM

Mister Matt, were you at the evening show on Saturday or the matinee? After the evening show my buddy said how unfortunate that the one major technical glitch was during the fantasy production number, envisioning Dorothy's rise to fame, that the "CHICAGO" rolling poster didn't light up but the other three did. That's a fun busy number -- in a good way -- with clever ensemble choreography as the signs light up in back, so I didn't notice that rolling poster issue.&nbs

Tootsie - Chicago tryout  Oct 1 2018, 05:35:02 PM

Am I wrong about Dorothy's audition number? I've been calling it "I Won't Let You Down" because that's what I remember, not "I'll Make You Proud." I'm probably mistaken; the absence of the evolving song list doesn't help my memory! 

I agree about Sandy's song, the tempo is easy to remember, the words less so -- for me -- because of the speed, but I recall the lines being very clever. Sarah's delivery is awesome, glad I got to


Tootsie - Chicago tryout  Sep 30 2018, 09:09:06 AM

Speed said: "I haven't seen the show yet but I'm liking that there is no big closing number. That would be too obnoxious for this story."

Ok, but the ending needed more emotion to me. And in musicals emotions are typically expressed in song. Maybe a softer, slower tempo reprise of I Won’t Let You Down. When the curtain drops I’m thinking I don’t care all that much for the future of these two characters. 



Tootsie - Chicago tryout  Sep 30 2018, 01:45:54 AM

Very glad I got to see the show tonight. And my first ever visit to Chicago. Staying with a buddy in Boystown. Love the gay bars here. Outside Boystown my fav bars are Marty’s and SoFo. Anyway... Using a 1 to 10 scale: Overall: 7 Score: 5 ... some real standouts — Dorothy’s first version of I WON’T LET YOU DOWN was amazing. I assumed that would be Michael’s final number after Julie and he reconcile. Sets: 9 ... love the bar and Michael & Jeff’s apartmen

Tootsie - Chicago tryout  Sep 16 2018, 10:45:16 PM

Ticketmaster is so frustrating! Been trying for 90 minutes using laptop, phone and tablet and a variety of browsers as well as the TM app. Order either times out or says can't be completed. Tried calling but the recording says they've got a high call volume, try again later, hangs up. 

Anyone know any tricks to navigate TM? I'll try tomorrow at work but there are three great seats together that I would like. Thanks.
