When the curtain fell on King Kong, I turned to my friend in the seat next to me and said "If I was the ape, I'd be on the phone with my agent to get me out of this turkey"

Not too much "infamy" in my history show history I guess. I do remember that I wasn't impressed with the original sideshow in very late 1997 (It may have suffered from the comparison with 1776, which I saw in matinee earlier in the day. Both Pat Hingle and Brent Spiner were great)

Has anyone called the Booth and asked about the section they worked? 

I'm always surprised at how many people aren't familiar with the source material of the shows they see. I recall, at a talk at the Strand by David Mallo

Rudin a bully?

And after the break, we'll learn that water is wet.

They sent for my 27th tickets. Maybe they bit the bullet for some days and let's it stand. My guess is that these screw ups are generally the show's, not tdf, but I could be wrong

Just got a message that my chosen day is actually at 2pm. I wonder if all the days are...

If this is, as someone stated, based on the original Erich Kastner novel, Lottie and Lisa, why are they using the name The Parent Trap, which they have no right to use. And I do hope everyone understands, The Parent Trap is a specific screenplay based on the book. If people are saying Disney is not involved that means that ANY plot points peculiar to the Disney film or its remake cannot be used and I should

They should announce simultaneous US and UK productions, then swap casts without telling anyone

 

(yes, a joke)

The characters wanted something, they went through a series of experiences, and the situation was resolved. There was no further story necessary, so no reason for the sequels to exist. ANNIE 2 especially suffered from lack of any reason to be. Movies with good sequels (say, THE GODFATHER), had more story to tell.."

Saw this too. I'll likely not bother since I'm out of Felix Felicis. Also, I've seen it twice, so don't really need to see it again, especially if I can't bring someone.

But if they want to keep the Majestic the Majestic - why not the Broadway?"

Split the difference: The Prince of Broadway theater (or the Majestic Hal Prince theater)

This made me snort. Well played.

i think we they have been sitting quite close to each other. I have nothing really to add to the sentiments above. I wholeheartedly agree with the group mind. I als

I'm probably going to be a bit of a contrarian here. I don't think timing is the issue unless by timing you mean this year. I thought this was a play whose time had come and gone, at least as presented in this revival. After seeing that I thought that was an amazingly uncomfortable piece of theate, and not in a good way, partially because I know many of my friends would be triggered by this. I've confirmed this with the only female friend of mine who's seen it.

There was a glitch for a bit. Back now.

You know that you can wait and listen when the whole album is released, right? Just because you don't want to hear songs in drops doesn't mean that anyone else wouldn't want to"

With 40 songs to mix, I think they wanted to balance catching some of the excited post-Tony sales with getting it all ship-shape. I'm happier

The lottery tells you if you won the day before, so it can't hurt to play the lottery (although only two of you will get tickets if you have one win)

It was even up for opening night (I went, Mezz seats)
