Adding my voice late in the run! 

Thought this was a very thought-provoking piece, with Amy's performance truly a highlight. I'm not familiar with the piece at all going in, however I felt Schreiber could have done more with his Flynn. He did amazing in some parts and not so amazing in others. Especially in the courtyard scene, he didn't feel as convincing as I feel he could've been. Maybe it was deliberate, not sure. Bernstine did well for her moment, but I a

Ended up coming here for round two after seeing it off broadway on a student ticket! First of all, thank you to the box office for that wonderful seat: front orchestra row E for $25 at 4 pm is highway robbery for a show these days!

The changes to the first song didn't sit well with me, but honestly I forgot about them due to how stellar act two was. "Made to Last" was as stressful as I remember it being, "For Her" and its reprise are worth the $25 alone, and Sam

Great to see some positivity here! Your name is totally one of the ones recognize, and your takes are always great from what I remember.

This board is really brilliant for moving shows onto my radar (or the opposite, but..) when they deserve the recognition! One of these days it would be so fun to have a swap meet or mass gathering of some kind. A group show viewing? In the end we are all here to share our love of Broadway, and this is the one site where the opinions feel "real&qu

I thought Pill was fine, I could not figure out what age her character was supposed to be, at times she seemed like a young teen, others mid twenties, and Anika Noni Rose, unfortunately, was the weakest of the night. Her character did not earn her moments and her performance didn’t leave much of an impact. For what should have felt like a pivotal character,

Went to see Uncle Vanya on a student ticket tonight (I'd like to give HUGE thumbs up for that box office operator who gave me row O seat 300's, that's the best view I've ever had on a student rush!) and I'm completely unfamiliar with Chekov but certainly enjoyed it. Sonya's actress was acting her HEART out on that stage, one of the best play performances I've seen this season outside of Appropriate. Carell does a great job of portraying a bitter Vanya, and com

I'm so late but I think after having a good night rest to go over it in my head, I really enjoyed it. I feel like the first 30-40 minutes dragged, but after that it was very enjoyable. I was so invested in the relationships between all of the characters, and I found Peter's scene towards the end to be especially impactful and really tied up a lot of his relationships with others. Eli Gelb was Glover really stood out to me- he had great timing, and amazing expressions, and turned out t

I love your belief is Playwrights Horizon’s to do the right thing, but they didn’t. I’m a student who lost their $10-20 ticket due to the Teeth cancellations and was not automatically refunded- I had to request a refund or list a few dates I&rs

Okay, now that you've identified the "issue," what can you do to solve it? Nothing? Become a teacher? This is so mean-spirited, new theater people are in their prime to be exposed to "high art" shows like Sondheim, recent Tony winners (Band's Visit, Akimbo), and in general we need to foster and nurture their love for theater instead of shame it. Hell, I started as a person who only knew Wicked, Hansen, and Be More Chill. Then I listened to Bare, Falsettos, and Come

I'm going to second the in person lottery! I went on a  Tuesday night a few weeks ago, and my number didn't get called. Everybody did get a seat, however, because in the end, the final few of us formed an alliance to all order 2 tickets (as most of us wanted singles) and pay each other back. It was really sweet, and we all got amazing seats together and somebody to talk to during the show. It's an amazing and heartfelt show so I'd suggest going for the in person lottery w

Alright, I've got a few pointers for shows I'm familiar with/seen

I'd prioritize the following:
1. Kimberly Akimbo - It's so charming and I genuinely enjoyed it. Great show overall.
1.5. Sweeney Todd - I almost forgot this one! Not sure which cast is there now, but it's a wonderfully staged production and really enjoyable 
2. Merrily - If you can get a ticket, and you enjoyed the cast recording, you'll be sure to enjoy the show. It's so h

Yes! I rushed yesterday, got Orchestra K 20, amazing seat and by no means partial view. I'd wish for left orchestra though if I went again, not right.

I believe so? Last night was Annaleigh Ashford, which was a real treat. She also exited and waved at stagedoor after.<

I agree with the person who said it felt like a meh year with a lot of outdated tables. Dear Evan Hansen had a table and a ton left at the end of the day (which got transferred to Dancers Over 40), I was hunting mostly for Bad Cinderella (barely anything, just a lipstick and bracelet that sold out before I even got there), and Parade (the signed name plaques were a bit overpriced in my opinion at curtain call, same with the display photos). I ended up with so much DEH stuff (arena stage windo

I'm a bit confused as to why Dear Evan Hansen is still on the map because it closed over a year ago, but I'm excited to hit up Sweeney Todd and Kimberly Akimbo. I was really hoping Parade or Gutenberg might have a table, but maybe there will be stuff from them either way."



I'm sure that DEAR EVAN HANSEN has tons of stuff leftover from Broadway, the just closed
