BWW Boston Review: TUCK EVERLASTING at Umbrella Stage Company  Dec 13 2019, 11:45:42 AM
Thanks for this! I'm going to see it tomorrow. :)

Theater References in "Knives Out!"  Nov 29 2019, 09:50:21 AM

Consistency said: "That's awesome. I haven't seen "Knives Out" yet, but that makes at least three films this year featuring characters singing Sondheim songs."

I love encountering Sondheim "in the wild" in movies. What were the other two you noticed? Movies are too expensive for me to see them in the theater so outside of yesterday (when I was gifted a ticket), I haven't seen a new film in a long while.

haterobics said: "dramamama611 said: "Seeing it this afternoon...so a spoiler alert might have been nice."

The Hamilton reference is not really a clue in the investigation.

Neither theater reference in the show is a spoiler. One character references "Hamilton" and another references "Follies." I wrote the post intentionally to be vague. I'm sorry you feel spoiled.



Theater References in "Knives Out!"  Nov 28 2019, 09:53:50 PM

EDIT: Possible spoiler alert per request, though there are no spoilers for the movie in this post except that there are two theater references, described below.

Saw the movie today (enjoyed it, for what it's worth) and was psyched to see two theater references. The first was a quote from "Hamilton" - "Immigrants: we get the job done" - with a follow-up from the character who quoted the show specifying that he saw it at the Public.

The second

Grand Tier Row B, just right of center. Amazing seat and I loved the production!

Betrayal Rush  Nov 18 2019, 12:50:44 PM
A coworker wants to see "Betrayal" and has never heard of (much less done) rush. Can anyone report on the rush availability, seat location, and weekend line-up time for "Betrayal" please? Broadwayforbrokepeople says $40 general, but that's all I know. Thanks!

Inheritance Rush Predictions?  Nov 11 2019, 08:14:43 PM
$40 per part per person, so $160 total for two people to do the marathon and sit together.

Inheritance Rush Predictions?  Nov 11 2019, 03:48:50 PM
I rushed the marathon with a friend last Saturday 11/2. Arrived at 10:00 with about 20 people in front of us. We were given the 2nd-to-last row in the orch all the way house left, and the very last row of the orch all the way house right for Parts I and II, respectively. Both were full-view, great seats. People in front of us got extreme sides closer to the stage in the orch. We had to pay for all 4 tickets on one card, because they said we would not be able to sit together if we paid separately

JPeterman said: "For those of you who have seen The Inheritance 1 and/or 2, do you think straight theatregoers will enjoy the show as much as gay patrons .... meaning will it resonate with straight people?

I planned to stay in my lane re: this thread, but since you asked:

I'm straight (cis, female, mid-30s), and it seems like this play resonated far more with me than with the out-gay posters on this thread. As a straight woman who identifies as an ally (not jus


In defense of Tootsie  Oct 30 2019, 02:43:14 PM

Wayman_Wong said: "''I saw the movie when it first came out. Wouldn't this also be the case with his dressers in the soap opera?''

It's been so long since I've seen the movie, but I thought there was a reference to how Dorothy liked to do her own makeup in private (thereby exposing herself to fewer people). But if you're in a musical, often changing clothes throughout a show, it seems like that kind of deception would be tougher to hide.

How has a musical changed your life in an unexpected way?  Oct 29 2019, 04:44:32 PM

I was certain that I would become an architect and was on track taking the academic courses necessary to get me into a good architectural school. My parents and I were planning visiting architectural schools during the summer of 1975 before I started my senior year. Late in junior year in May 1975, some of us who took theater and drama classes went on a field trip to see Equus on Broadway. I was f

Alice Ripley to play 'Norma Desmond' in NSMT's "Sunset Blvd"  Oct 2 2019, 11:41:51 AM

The website says they sell student rush with a valid ID one hour before curtain. However, last Saturday, I called the box office to inquire about rush shortly after they opened, and they sold me two excellent seats for the evening performance for $25 (plus a small fee) each right over the phone. The BO worke


Alice Ripley to play 'Norma Desmond' in NSMT's "Sunset Blvd"  Sep 29 2019, 07:07:27 PM
I saw this last night, and it was incredible. I was doubtful about the body double at first, but it really worked - especially in the final scene. Alice was in excellent voice, and built the character in a natural arc through the show. The production nailed the parallels inherent in the piece without anvils. The actors playing Joe, Max, and Schaeffer were top-notch vocally and acting-wise. The ensemble was tight and sounded fantastic. I highly encourage anyone who can to see this production. I c

Yiddish  Aug 10 2019, 12:21:44 AM

Thanks to you all for your thoughts so far! Since I started this thread, I figured I should put my two cents in.

I'm an Ashkenazi Jewish woman. My great-great grandfather came to the US through Ellis Island after a pogrom. He and his family spoke Yiddish at home only until they became sufficiently fluent in English. The culture at the time for many immigrants was to "leave the old country in the old country." As a result, the language wa

uncageg said: Nice that they have included scene change music and even curtain call music. There are a lot of extra tracks In English. Wondering if these are from past productions or newly recorded?"

These are new recordings of cut songs that were never put into the show. "Dear Sweet Sewing Machine" was previously recorded by Adam Kantor and Alexandra Silber as a bonus track for the 2016 album (with Danny Burstein). The rest of the songs, I believe, hav


Yiddish "Fiddler" Cast Album Thoughts  Aug 9 2019, 09:43:07 AM

Vivid Seat Reliable?  Aug 5 2019, 10:59:05 AM

Thank you, all, especially for the tip about leaving tix in my cart and getting an extra discount coupon. 



Vivid Seat Reliable?  Aug 4 2019, 02:05:48 PM
Hello wise BWW-ers!

Question: I want to see Betty Buckley in "Dolly" when it comes to Boston. I noticed on vividseat.com that they have tickets for as low as $10. Has anyone used this ticketing service before? Is it reliable and safe? Their price point seems too good to be true.

Thank you!
