(Spoilers?)
Purple carpet. Three gold walls with a ledge/bench around the stage. The ledge is used as seating for the actors. That’s basically it, plus some furniture that gets moved around.
Sorry if that makes it hard to picture—maybe someone else can describe it better.

Have you never noticed how you can leave your seat at a movie and return without causing much disruption? Try leaving a center section of. a Broadway show for a pee mergency. Not so easy.”
Also, movie theater seats are wayyyy more comfortable. I’ll happily sit through a long movie, especially with reclining seats and a ton of fo

Wow that was a long night. Aside from a few standout performances (Jackson included), I really don’t see anything remarkable about this production. I will admit that this was my first live Shakespeare experience, and I really struggled to follow along. So that may have contributed. In any case, it’s crazy to go 2 hours without any sort of break.
One thing I did love was the inclusion of Russell Harvard! I thought the signing worked seamlessly and goes a long way for representation.

What’s the deal with order histories not displaying? I have Ferryman for this weekend...it’s my first purchase since the site upgraded, but it’s not in my order history. Should I be concerned?
Ferryman was added for this weekend and a bunch of dates next week!
Also--My Fair Lady just popped up for a ton of shows over the next two weeks.

Going on Saturday—so hype! Snagged one of the cheap balcony seats, since I’ve heard good things about the Cort’s balcony!
I definitely saw merchandise for sale in the downstairs lounge on 12/29. I honestly didn't get a good look, but I'm pretty there was a shirt that said something about consent, and I saw someone with a window card.
THANK YOU! I've been trying to watch it (legitimately) online, since I just saw the Lincoln Center production. It's actually difficult to get a hold of, unless you want to buy a DVD.
TKTS listings for last week or so? Feb 4

The TKTS app lists what is currently available (once the booth opens for the day), so you could keep an eye on that. Also, if you look up specific shows in the “Show Directory” section on the app, it’ll tell you if they are frequently, occasionally, or never listed.

Are they just going unused? I noticed all of the lockers in the Beaumont yesterday. They would have been super helpful; especially since it’s winter, and everyone has coats, scarves, hats, etc, that take up so much more
Overnight bag into a theater? Feb 3

I think it also depends on your definition of “under the seat”. Mine doesn’t always cleanly fit underneath, though it’s not huge, but I can keep it in my space.

I bring backpacks all the time without issue. I usually just shove it under my seat.
I’ve heard some shade from other audience members at bag check, which is a different conversation, but I’ve never had a problem with security or the house staff.
The Academy of Music in Philly has 2600 seats. That’s where most tours perform when they stop here, but it’s also used for a lot of opera and ballet.
Considering there are four levels of seats in a U-shape with tons of support poles throughout, there are some pretty bad views.

I didnt realize it was written by a white guy until after I saw the show. It raised points I wouldnt normally think about as a white woman, and it showed a perspective that we dont see in the news.
But I cant help but wonder how the play would be different had it been written by a black person.
