John Adams said: "Broadway Joe said: "He was always a creep and doesn't deserve a pass because he didn't have a proper childhood and made some overrated pop music."
That's an extreme and inaccurate oversimplification of a very complex progression of abuse(s) that began with the abuse to Jackson, himself. ...and the phrase, "made some overrated pop music" falls far short of Jackson's accomplishments."

I didn't read through this whole thread yet but whether you think these two are lying or not there's no debating that Jackson actually slept in a bed with numerous different young boys throughout his life, held hands with them in public and had them travel with him.
He was always a creep and doesn't deserve a pass because he didn't have a proper childhood and made some overrated pop music.

I was meh on this show too. That season of new musicals was really mediocre and that's why this show ran away with so many awards.

The opposite can be just as bad if not worse sometimes. Some people seem to have just dumped the entire bottle of cologne/perfume on themselves.

I may be in the minority here but I would love to pay to stream shows from the comfort of my own home.
Would I stop going entirely? No, but I always try to see every show that opens on Broadway and there are a decent amount of shows that I'm meh / on the fence on about seeing in the first place that I would gladly watch from my couch instead of bothering to pay for and go to the theatre.
Lately I've stopped caring more about trying to see everything that opens and have been s

The whole theatre has pretty good sight lines. I sat in the very last row for Sunday in the park, front row for head over heels, side orchestra for 1984 and towards the back of the dress circle for The Parisian Woman and every view was great.

I would love to see the city make that illegal. Its gotten ridiculous.

They played 8 shows last week and averaged a tad over $20k a show. Only got 12% of their possible potential grosses. The financials are an absolute disaster for this show whether you think the actual show is good or not.
WhizzerMarvin said: "The description of the play on MTC’s website sucks because there’s no easy way to describe the plot without giving away little twists and turns. It’s a tight show (no intermission) and it’s about relationships more than plot anyway.
This is why I go to theater. Congrats to all involved. "
That's fantastic to hear. The description really had me going meh but I'm definitely more interested in checking it o

Just an fyi if you don't already know but you can just block those people on here and not have to worry about it.
"Fetus said: In no way will forcing people to reveal their identities improve discourse."
Exactly, look at Facebook and Twitter. Both are absolute cess pools with horrible comments with people using accounts showing their real identity. It prevents nothing.
Look how many people in the spot light alone have had past comments come back up on their personal accounts alone.
The vast majority of message boards and websites do not require you to link Facebook to make comments, it might be an option but there's always an option to sign up with an email and user name.
Can we please stop being over dramatic about how the conversations here need to be fixed? This place in all my years of being here has never been as bad as people make it out to be. Are there some people who are more snarky than others? Sure, but welcome to the real world. Not everyone i

Your best option is to call telecharge or ticketmaster and most of the time they will work with you.

I wouldn't give my personal information out here either especially because I don't use Facebook and I would never trust to email my information to someone here.
The mods or whoever's decision this was is over thinking this to begin with. You have mods whose job is to remove posts and users who don't follow the guidelines. There's no reason take it any further than that.

I don't care who is in this show but the part with the castle being built is still one the cheapest most disappointing things about this show. Such a missed opportunity to create an actual magical moment.

I hope the reports are good because I try to see everything that opens but I have absolutely zero desire to go see this based on the plot summary.
