BCEFA flea market 2024 collectors unite
 Sep 23 2024, 08:02:11 PM

It was busy but I still had a great time. I think the gridlock on 45th was crazy but I honestly avoided that area when matinee audiences started to line up, always insane but love hearing some of the funny comments by unknowing audience members, “what are they selling here? Dust collectors?” 

Didn’t get too much, bought a Jimmy Kimmel Live picture frame signed by NPH at his booth and got a picture with him for $50 total. I must have made it to booth at&


'CATS: The Jellicle Ball' at PAC reviews
 Jun 18 2024, 01:16:00 PM

Saw this on Sunday and still cannot stop thinking about it. This is how you do a revival! It is just so much fun! I knew a bit about ballroom culture going in, but honestly didn’t necessarily think you need to beforehand! I loved all the changes made and yet how it still felt so faithful to the material.

I was seated directly behind the judges table which was had two people (execs?) from the House of Maison Margiela on Sunday. They provide the “judging” unti

Huss417 said: "Just a question for those who have sat in the $59.00 Obstructed Orchestra seats. I'm assuming the farther I go back in the orchestra the view might be better but is there anything major that I would be missing on the stage from these seats?"

I sat in one of these a few weeks ago, I think row J right orchestra and missed nothing, maybe missed the drummers face for one scene, nothing of significance. Felt so closely intimate with the show. Well worth


HELL'S KITCHEN Reviews

Saw this tonight, absolutely loved it. 

Maleah injured herself during one of the first songs, fell off one of the benches and looks like she sprained her ankle, was rubbing it for the next song or so. She ran off stage (crying in pain) after the first verse of Kaleidoscope. I truly felt awful for her. Got an announcement that the show was paused for injury and 10 minutes later Gianna Harris went on as Ali for the remainder of the show. 
 

Hoping Maleah is oka

Recent seat report:

Illinoise - Sat evening - Orchestra Front Right, Row H, Seat 16. Great seat, only missed seeing the female singers but nothing else blocked.

The Wiz - Sun evening - Orchestra Rear Right, Row X, Seat 10. Seat is fine, show is a disappointment.

Seats for Suffs today were in Right Mezzanine, Row C, Seats 20,22 and 24 Perfect seats, near sound board but didn’t bother me at all


The Life & Slimes of Marc Summers

Went to today’s matinee (via TDF) and was in the front row, seat 3. Splash Zone, and ponchos were available for $1. I didn’t mind whatever it was about to be splashed on me, so I went without.

Couldn’t have been more fun and charming! As others have said you just can’t help root for Marc.

I was lucky enough to be selected to participate in Double Dare. Yes I did the physical challenge and my team won! My prize was an $25 voucher to a nearby resta


PETER PAN GOES WRONG to open this spring
 Mar 22 2023, 09:17:56 PM

Been meaning to post this, saw the second preview on Saturday. I thought act 1 was very good but not going to lie the momentum kinda died once intermission started back up. I love physical comedy and TPTGW but something was missing for the first 15 minutes of Act 2, maybe it was the song that was sung? Could also be the amount of audience participation that was egged on by Hook. The audience wouldn’t stop booing and he kinda lost all control and had to scream his next line. There was wa

My seat for SLIH last Saturday for the matinee was row J, Mezz (so the horrible overhang). It seemed like the whole row was TDF. The show was not sold out though, so the usher told us we could move down to Front Mezz prior to act one starting (didn't start until 2:15).


KIMBERLY AKIMBO Previews
 Oct 20 2022, 12:40:31 PM

Saw this on Tuesday night and loved it. Left work for lunch and swung by the box office (around 1pm) to see if they had any rush seats left, ended up getting a great seat ORCH L 9. It seems like they will try to give you any seats they have left. 

This show is so charming and the whole cast brought it. I have Skater Planet stuck in my head still. I cannot wait to see this again!

I saw the matinee today, and absolutely loved it. I had only listened to a few songs prior and never seeing any version of this show, I had no expectations going in. Perhaps that helped? 

The music of this show is incredible and echo others who have requested a cast recording. There’s so much depth to the new orchestrations, I hope one is coming. 

Nothing else to add but add me to the impressed pile.


COMPANY To Close On July 31, 2022

What a great final performance! Sad that it’s no longer on Broadway but thankful it was here for the time it was! 

The LWL standing ovation was soooo long and well deserved. Patti was looking the whole time dead pan into the audience, occasionally adjusting her fur ever so slightly. I will never forget that moment.


Times Square West Spectacular On Saturday 7/30

These have been happening pretty much every weekend this summer. Maybe not in this same location, but in May I remember there being one down this same stretch. Doesn’t change much if you use the MTA, traffic is standstill otherwise.

My bad, I have been reading people misconstruing it as such. But I don't think this changes anything with masks.

Maybe I am reading this article wrong but i don't see anything about the mandate being put back in place. They are recommending, not mandating.

Especially for a show that won’t change any bit of the iffy book in between Toronto and NY.

Agreed, lets hope for sooner!

Craig is fine and actually grew on me, and let’s just say his black pants deserve a special Supporting The Actor nomination.
