It may be true that overseas visitors don't have the same taste but my husband and I both used to work in group tourism, domestic and international and there's a lot of those folks who buy group tickets to things so individual tastes may not come into play in that scenario.  Those tickets will be sold based on how the show is doing generally, most likely.   

I saw the show last night and the only person out was Daryl Tofa (Two-Bit) played by Jordan Chin (Swing).

The show was excellent.  I took my 23 yr old son who loved it, as well.  We watched the movie the night prior as he had no familiarity with the source material.

Brody and Brent are off for family events. Daryl is in Italy. Sky was off as well but I’m not sure why. No one has left. Just illness and vacations."

How can I find out if anyone is out of tonight's show?

it's on TDF again for performances Mon-Thurs of this coming week.

I purchased a TDF ticket for last Saturday and sat in row L center orchestra -- perfect spot.

let us know where the lucky seat winners are seated and how the view is from there --  Thanks!

I didn't see this one : Review: A potent Eddie Redmayne can't save Broadway's 'Cabaret' - Los Angeles Times (latimes.com)

"If you’re looking for powerhouse singing, this outing of “Cabaret” will sorely disappoint"

" this production takes this notion of fictional integrity to a ludicrous extreme in the casting of Gayle Rankin as Sally Bowles. Jessie Buckley, a renowned singer and gripping dramatic actor, won (along with Redmayne) an Olivier for her performance in the London run. Rankin appears to have stepped into an interpretation of the part that she hasn’t the same skill set to pull off. Not only is her singing raucous but her characterization is off-putting, even antipathetic."

"What does it say about a revival of “Cabaret” in which I kept hoping that Fraulein Schneider (Bebe Neuwirth) would change the locks of her boardinghouse to keep Sally out of the production?"

Saw it this afternoon ... incredibly emotional for me relating to so many parts of the show and characters at different times of life ... a lot to love including the performances ... not crazy about the one visual used a time or two too many and a long section towards the end with just Lange - which could be tightened up a bit.

Is there a songlist somewhere? 

I wasn't there but there was near constant coughing throughout my show ... like -- what the heck - why is everyone sick and at a broadway show.

Patrick Page was there this afternoon ... he walk past me and I gave him a big smile and said enjoy the show.

I guess this is why there are so many options on Broadway... I loved this so much.. lots of laughs in the audience and the music is great. If anything I wish there was more of it.  It is completely my vibe so I knew I'd love it.

I just got a center orchestra seat row N on seatgeek for $80 .. (5% cashback via Chase).

Be sure to check all the resell sites -- I had my eye on this since yesterday and the price was $96 then and went down today.

 

I was headed to the show but the trains are out and I was not going to make it anywhere close to on time. Is there anyway to get a refund for a lottery ticket or attend another night?  This is a first for me .. I am typically extremely punctual!
 

Thanks! 

I won the lottery for tonight and the seat is rear mezz E3 and I'm not happy about it. There are so many empty seats and I had checked Reddit and saw everyone that posted their wins had orchestra or front mezz row A.  Everyone said they had a good view.  
I don't know if I'll go or not.
