Did anyone watch the BWW video of Raul singing in this? Wow, is he in good voice! I keep watching the clip to see him again.

This made me even more excited to see the show next week.

I didn't act fast enough, and there seems to be only a few tickets left for the entire run. Cradle Will Rock

Another role for Patti LuPone to say "Well she performed it okay, but I did it better."
If anyone ever tells you that you put too much Parmesan cheese on your pasta, stop talking to them. You don't need that kind of negativity in your life.

I'm really excited to see Anika Noni Rose as Moll, but I wish I could have heard her better over the piano here.

And the two Tatehs from RAGTIME, Robert Petkoff and Peter Friedman also in this. It will be an interesting concert, I wonder if the cast will start the show from the audience as the original did.

"I'm really excited to see Anika Noni Rose as Moll, but I wish I could have heard her better over the piano here."

Same here. I wasn't sure if she was keeping her voice down because she was still just rehearsing the song, or if the piano was too loud.

^ Probably both, though I never think of her as having a particularly big voice anyway.

I thought the acoustics were all wrong in the clip - too much piano.

Yeah, I don't think the sound on the video is anything to read too too much into.

I'm excited for this.

I just read that they are going to use 14 other instruments in addition to the piano.

Anyone know if they will be doing P2P codes for the Off Center shows? Did anyone receive one for this?

Thanks!

There are $25 tickets still available for every performance.

Wait for that one day we can bite free and get back out there in space where we belong, sail back over water, over skies, into space, the hook finally out of our mouths and we wander back out there in space spawning to other planets never to return hurrah to earth and we'll look back and can't even see these lives here anymore. Only the taste of blood to remind us we ever existed. The earth is small. We're gone. We're dead. We're safe." -John Guare, Landscape of the Body

To be fair, it's a little unclear which seats are in which price bracket, especially since these prices deviate from the typical Encores! prices. You have to hover your mouse over them on the map. There are a lot that are $25, though.

For $25 I'm happy with any seat. I love that they're offering that price. I rarely care about seeing a show, but this one is different.

I think it's a great way to get people in to see the new initiative. But it's also nice not to have to choose between spending a lot and facing your fear of heights. Cradle Will Rock

The grand tier/mezzanine are not very high at City Center--the balcony is, but are they even using it for this production? My seat is in the second row of the mezzanine, to the far side, although City Center has excellent sight lines. The wide majority of $25 tickets I've seen were in the side orchestra and throughout the mezzanine.

I don't think the balcony is open for the Off-Center shows, AC.

The grand tier and front mezz are my favorite spots in City Center, actually. The balcony makes me want to cry. I think they're using it? It said it was sold out when I ordered my tickets.
