I have to agree. The show is spectacular and all, but I feel the designers had to do that when they realized what a flimsy, dull, and uninteresting show they would have otherwise. Just my opinion. We paid $349 for Row C. Great seats to get totally immersed, but not worth the hyped-up pri

Ah, yes. Comparing the photo I took with the website, it is Kyle in the corset. Stunning. Nick’s boyfriend...what a hot couple.
One other question. Do the actors get a pay supplement for working the pre-show, or are they considered to be “on the clock” and that the milling around is part of the actual production?
Is the pre-show choreographed or staged to be the same at every performance? Or does it change?
Last Saturday we had Benjamin in a corset and nylons in the cage next to the elephant, Kyle and Dylan with arms locked walking around, Khori and another actress doing sword swallowing, Reed as a sort of devil/clown thing. And of course various others walking around, quietly chatting, etc.
Does the cast visit and act all silent and staring, like in the theater itself? I assume not since they’d likely advertise that boldly. That might make it worth the extra cash.
Anyone think Cher will be at the last Cher Show on Sunday? Aug 19

Ah, that makes sense. My cell is not registered in NYC so I did t get the alert. Guess that’s why no one in the audience seemed too concerned, since I assume most in the audience are from the NYC area.
Two dissimilar people are brought together, one has a plan and the other grudgingly joins in but later becomes enamored with the fame it brings. They deceive the masses via a stage show. But love gets in the way. Eventually the ruse is uncovered and the two remain dear friends.
Show started late, about 3:20, line didn’t move outside until 2:45. Mean Girls across the street was completely in before we reached the Neil Simon front door a few moments before 3:00. An usher said it was due to a technical glitch, she didn’t elaborate.
Incredible energy in the audience.
Didn’t recognize any celebs in the audience, but after the fashion show segment, SJB pointed into the audience and Bob
I hope so! I’ll be there. Hoping to see Bob Mackie as well and perhaps some other celebs. Her Las Vegas residency doesn’t start again for a few day, August 21. I’m wondering if the closing date was selected so as not to clash with her LV concert and she could attend the show.
Just saw MR. I was anxious about the height of the passerelle for Row C (the first row of traditional seats behind the CanCan tables). But no problems with sight lines. I’m 5’9 and my eye level was basically level with the top.

PROs: Tons of interaction with the cast before and during. Today, Danny poked me with his cane in the opening number and lovingly called me “filth”. The
Do voters have to see a show in person, or does watching a video count? For short runs, shows that open/close early in the season, and shows in small theaters, if it is not possible to see a show live, can producers send out DVDs to voters for their review? Live is always better, but it is always possible?
Get rid of them, everything is available online at the show’s or theater’s website. Before curtain and intermission, everyone is staring at their phones anyway. So many resources are used and not just paper. Chemicals are in the ink, energy is needed to print, deliver, and discard them. Excess cardboard for shipping. Let’s get rid of the little slips of paper for cast changes, and have the two required announce,ents be a sign in the lobby and the pre-curtain announ
I’ve already shared about the closing performance of KINKY BOOTS, but I remember think8ng this balcony is going to come crashing down, during Raise You Up when everyone was on their feet, jumping, clapping...really electric. I wonder what it feels like to an actor to experience such a response from the audience?
Im bummed THE CHER SHOW is closing but I’ll be there a week from today. I’m debating bringing earplugs for what I suspect will be massive applause throu
I'm excited to return to THE CHER SHOW for the closing performance on August 18. (Seeing Beetlejuice and Moulin Rogue on a binge theater weekend.)
Any buzz on if Cher will be attending the closing? Per her concert schedule, her Las Vegas residency begins August 21. I wonder if the closing date was selected so she could attend. Unlike Kinky Boots' closing that didn't open the orchestra to the public, we got center orchestra for Cher. So I'm hoping to rub elbows with some
The hotel suites in Victor/Victoria were two story. My first Broadway show and was amazed how these massive set pieces glided so quietly, as well as how Toddy’s apartment and Chez Louis tracked on stage.
The three massive girders in Newsies we’re tried-level.
LuPita2 said: "Orchestra, third row center was perfect for me. I hope those involved in the showsee this thread and attempt to make changes, because unless it says "partial view" on one's ticket, this is not okay. These tickets are way too expensive for that crap."
We’re in Orch C103/104 in a couple weeks. I’m confused by your post. You saw it was perfect, but then refer to partial views. Are you talking about Row C or the other partial
Not an actor, but fun interaction nonetheless: In the men’s room at intermission of the final performance of KINKY BOOTS, the guy in front of me couldn’t get the paper towel mechanism to work. I helped him out. Thought he looked familiar but there were dozens of people that day who sorta-kinda looked famous like I should know them. Anyway, at the curtain call, the guy walks out with Jerry, Harvey, Cindy, Darryl, and Hal: Stephen Oremus. 😁
I’ve lusted after Charlie since seeing him in MEMPHIS. ❤️ He has always stood out with his large linebacker-like physique next to the thinner, lankier ensemble men. I love watching him perform, moving as lightly and smoothly as more traditionally-sized men. It’s always fun when he pops up in the ensembl
Is there a formal process, say with the Wing, Equity, or other organizations, to rename a theater? Is it voted on? Is there a special process? Or if a theater owner just walks up some morning and on a whim decides to rename a theater after anyone or anything (even if they aren't connected to Broadway) can the owner do that?
