Was there last night and they offered signed window cards for $200! (the BC/EFA volunteer initially told me they were $300 but a Shed employee corrected him). Bobby and David were holding the red buckets too.

Anyone know if there’s a rhyme or reason on when/if they offer to do collections during this time? I went to BTTF last night and they didn’t do anything (suffered thru the entire show with rude people behind me too). I asked an usher and he told me that collections were over… I mentioned it was supposed to be until 12/3 but he was clueless.

Thanks in advance 

 

ETA:

Little Shop of Horrors offering: signed playbills $75

Yes, I was there and it was the usual items plus a piece of paper from the typewriter where JG had typed some words signed by the 3 leads was auctioned. Not sure how much it went for since we had to leave."

Appreciated… thank you!

The Lifespan of a Virus [Viral Outbreak]

My first 100% score!

At The History of Violence at St. Ann's Warehouse the other night - no less than 4-5 people either: kicked a can/plastic cup or dropped a phone. It's a pretty quiet show with a lot of dialogue (compounded with the fact that a majority of the patrons are trying to concentrate on the action and reading the English supertitles!!). At least there were no walk outs midway thru...Oh I must note that if you're very sensitive to smoke [see spoiler box] and herbal cigarette smell, then it's best not to sit in the first few rows. I'm pretty sensitive but luckily I wasn't too bothered by it this time... it would've been so bad to have had a coughing fit

Rebecca posted that she'll be in Atlanta until Thanksgiving doing post-production for the Aretha miniseries. Will Brill (Ali Hakem) has been out also filming a show or something. He was on a little break and was able to be in the audience for their 250th performance. I did notice his name is completely off the cast board... I hope he's coming back but Chris Bannow is great

The 16th Anniversary of Wicked - mother and son duo wouldn't stop their full volume talking during Act 1. After the first song, the son asked, "Wow, I wonder if they lip-sync." Apparently they were a part of bigger group that were scattered around the theatre because he kept on texting with them throughout the show (at least the screen was at the dimmest setting?). Another couple came late and the lady pulled out her phone to video/take photos. I guess the guy in my row thought it was ok so he did too. At intermission, I asked him to keep the chatter down and put his phone away. He did apologize but proceeded to loudly snack on his intermission candy. Had to endure the beginning of Act 2 with the sound of raisinets rolling back and forth in the box quickly followed by the jumbo crinkly bag of m&ms. He did pull out his phone again but his mom tried shielding it from my peripheral view. I understand Wicked is harder because it might be someone's first  show or that it caters to tourists but dang, I swear those people lived under a rock!

First preview of Jagged Little Pill: the singing along and never-ending chatter during Act 1 from the 2 people behind me...

A couple of weeks ago during Glick's run at Little Shop - some lady arrived late, house right. Everyone in her row had to get up for her to shuffle down to her seat (second to last seat in the center section, row K, house LEFT). At one point she or her son pulled out their phone to video/take pictures but the usher quickly decended and told them to put it away. Loud whispering ensued which was incredibly disruptive to everyone around them. At intermission, she made a complaint to the house manager and claimed that the usher slapped the phone out of her hand. He apologized on behalf of the usher, if that actually happened, but told her that she would be asked to leave if they tried doing that it again. Thankfully they behaved for Act 2. My neighbor was pretty annoying too cuz he kept on checking/double tapping his Fitbit-like device. UGH!

At the 250th performance of Oklahoma! some lady two, seats to my left, decided to take off her shoes (sometimes crossing her legs or stretching them out - which touched the coat of the lady sitting at the table seat! in front of her ::barf::). At intermission, she would barely move out of the way - was tempted to step on her toes! The 2 ladies sitting to my right, with the non-stop cackling... 

At Cyrano on Saturday evening, some lady in the middle of the second row, snapped several pictures of Dinklage. An usher quickly came and asked her to stop but was obviously very distracting. During intermission, he came over again and asked her to delete her pics on her camera roll and in the 'recently deleted pics' folder... he told her that he had to watch her through the process. At stage door, she was complaining how she paid $250 for her ticket and that it was her right to snap a couple of pics. She was so annoying and tried hogging all of Peter's time when he finally came out...

Here you go... hope that helps... it's definitely an aisle seat that's closest to the exitrjm516 said: "Ok man no need to be so rude. Of course I am looking at the seating chart but it doesn’t say if a seat is on a aisle or how many off it it is like many U.K. sites do. And ok maybe not a “wall” but some sort of barricade; it’s happened often with seats that are on ends. I’m just asking to be sure you don’t have to get your rocks off by being a dick."

Betrayal tonight: Posters are still $100 but Playbills have gone up to $50

*edit to add: anyone find it so strange that Inheritance, Part 2 sold out so quickly but there's plenty of availability for Part 1? 

Damon was in on 9/10; on Thursday 9/12 and he (and Will Brill) were out. A friend who saw the show with me on Tuesday, won the matinee for Weds and she mentioned to me that Damon was very ill... 

Damon is a big draw for me (as well as Rebecca) but his understudy, Denver, is fabulous.

If anyone going to the show in the next couple of days could let me know if any principal cast members are on vacation or are out (barring illness of course)? Thanks in advance!
