That makes sense, I was not aware of that dating and I guess ignoring AIDS makes some sense, but I still think it could have been referred to somehow.
Saw this Saturday night. We went in with very limited expectations, based on this thread and the reviews. When they scanned our tix the usher said "Oh, you're VIPs". We figured it was because we were subscribers or because we were in the front row. No. We'll get to that. We were surprised that there were no characters developed enough to care for, except maybe Sammy.
We get that this was a search for family and belonging. We thoug
I posted in the other thread -- one thing I left out is it seemed to me that some of the audience "participation" (hooting, clapping, laughing) was sweetened. I'd hear clapping and not see any clapping until a second later.
Gorgeous sets, amazing costumes, terrific choreography and the opening number of Act 2 was wonderful. Even the audience was Beautiful last night -- can't remember the last time I saw such a well dressed crowd at theater
And now I must find my inner Leonard Pinth-Garnell for everything else. We sat in Row B of the Balcony, dead center (101 and 103) (we were originally downstairs, then they started rescheduling and everything . . . ). They don&
Bought tix in the front row for a show Labor Day Weekend (saw 'em, grabbed 'em). They were $75/each, which is lower priced than further back. Is it a high stage or some other reason they'd be less expensive?

We had tix for the matinee on 7/29 which is now Opening Night . . . and now there's no matinee. Called them up, left our number for them to call back and had a very nice and slightly frazzled box office person move us from halfway back in the Mezz for the matinee to the 2nd row of the Balcony for opening night. Offered us Row A in the Balcony but we'd rather be in B on the aisle as we know row A there has no legroom
let me also vote for the Box seats. We saw Hamilton and Come From Away a couple weeks ago from the Boxes. Unlimited leg room and tons of butt room, and so close to the action!
Sorry to hear it wasn't good. A friend is in it, but at those prices and this word of mouth I'll have to settle for spotting her in that "show highlights" youtube video.

I hear Harry Potter is doing quite well after all of their awards!

Just know that Airbnb is almost entirely illegal in NYC, especially in Manhattan, and folks end up finding out last minute that their reservation was canceled by the renter or by their building
