TaffyDavenport said: "Interesting deal for this on TodayTix: from September 24 through October 31, they're selling20 $39seats in either the orchestra or the balcony to be assigned at the box office for each performance. So, basically, rush tickets in advance."

Over this past weekend they did the same deal as a “flash sale” for most performances.  I snagged two for Nov 2.

In the condensed version Act I ends in the same fashion as Part I ended with the appearance of Umbridge and the Dementors.  It is a terrific Act I closer.

Telecharge interactive seating map issues?
 Jul 21 2024, 08:01:33 PM

The amount I hate their site is unreal.  Why can one not just hover over a seat and the price displays?  Nope.  One must zoom in multiple times just to see the seat price and then most of the seating is then out of view.  The design is trash.

All of the seats in this space should be fine.  If you did get a "reserved" seat they were either in the center section or in the first row of the side sections (that is where I was).  The res

That's still a lot out. The Facebook post said they opened the Playbill and a lot of little u/s slips fell out. So many that they couldn't track who was out because there was so many slips.

I saw it with Julia Chan.  The cast is terrific and the play is powerful.  I highly recommend it - also - I saw it on a Friday matinee at 3:30 for those of you who like to schedule multi-show days.  It is a very very intimate space.  At my performance many of the Stereophonic cast members were in attendance since it was that non-traditional show time.

I make a visit to 44 & X (yes it’s at 44th and 10th avenue) on all of my theater trips.  It has a great food menu and the cocktail menu is fun as all the drinks are named after Broadway shows.  The location is great for dining prior to shows located on 44th/45th streets.

I just had the best time at this show.  This cast is giving its all . . . the choreography is hella good.  Besides the choreography this show’s book deserved a Tony nomination, too.  Sad more audiences won’t get to see this one because it is so much fun.

I missed her twice - both on two-show days.  I went on a saturday and she missed both shows that day.  I went on a wednesday evening and she was out but I believe played the matinee.  I would recommend going on Friday.

I didn't see Cabaret but when I paid full price to see Merrily Lindsey was out so I can't root for her.

I paid full price twice and she was out both times.  I am actively rooting against her.


Audra McDonald, Marisha Wallace, and More to Star in Rodgers & Hammerstein 80th Anniversary Concert "My Favorite Things" in London
 Jun 9 2024, 10:48:03 PM

I found this entire concert to be pretty underwhelming and a big bore. Not even Audra could elevate it.  But when comparing the edit for PBS with the track listing for the recording, it is clear the PBS version does not follow the actual concert order and in fact many numbers were reordered and edited to match the pledge breaks.

Really had high expectations for this one but such a disappointment.
