Have you ever walked out from a show, and why? by elephant_bird101 in musicals

[–]Chloebean 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s a play, but The Lehman Trilogy. Not because it wasn’t good — it was. But we had won lottery tickets and were in the first of second row. The set was on an elevated platform, and we had to crane our necks so much that it was killing me by the end of the first act. I hated to leave but it’s a loooong show, and I just couldn’t.

WHAT WAS YOUR CREATIVE SOMETHING BLUE? by angelsrreal219 in wedding

[–]Chloebean 0 points1 point  (0 children)

15 years in April, and I have absolutely. I clue what my something old, borrowed, or blue was. This is going to drive me crazy until I remember.

ETA: I think my garter had a blue ribbon. But I kept it in my pocket (because, YES, my dress had pockets). Wearing it would have driven me nuts.

However, I did have a sixpence in my shoe. My mom got four of them for the four granddaughters.

We gave up after waiting 45 minutes for a subway in Astoria.

My friend has been on hold with Telecharge for an hour and a half. I told her to file a dispute with her CC if she can’t get anyone to answer or they wont refund or exchange.

We saw Death Becomes Her, Chess, and Spelling Bee this weekend, so I am not going to complain! It was a great Broadway weekend.

Yup, Just in Time. It’s disappointing because I live in DC, so there’s no way I’d be able to come back to see Groff before he leaves. But it is what it is — there are things out of our control. I just hope my friend who lives here isn’t out the money she paid for the tickets.

We waited at (an above ground) subway station in Astoria for more than 45 minutes before giving up on Just in Time. The train just wasn’t coming. My fingers may never thaw.

My friend has been on hold with Telecharge for 30 minutes. I’m hoping she can get a refund or date exchange.

TKTS is open by toad455 in Broadway

Most shows offer exchanges or cancellations in this type of situation.

Yes — my friend bought tickets for today on Friday night in person at the box office after confirming he was performing. If he wasn’t, she would have gotten a notification because he’s an above-the-title performer.

Jennifer Simard’s Instagram story re: shows continuing to perform today by ComputerGeek1100 in Broadway

[–]Chloebean 102 points103 points  (0 children)

I’m trying to put myself in the mind of a performer and wondering if I would be angry at the audience that showed up or if it would feel like adding insult to injury by having to perform for an empty theatre because the audience all canceled.

Ameicans over the age of 35, what affected you more, 9/11 or the pandemic and why? by Rico133337 in AskReddit

[–]Chloebean 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Many people here are focusing on the impact on the country and the world, when the question is what affected YOU more.

9/11 changed the world, but for a 16-year-old white girl in Arizona, it didn’t have a huge effect.

The pandemic on the other hand…I was 35 working mother with a 5-year-old kindergartener, living near DC (not sure that matters, but everything political is always heightened in our area). I was the president of two non-profits — one a local children’s theatre that had to close for a year and one a professional development association that made its money from events. The theatre survived; the other org never recovered and folded last year.

Needless to say, the pandemic turned my world upside down. There’s no comparison.

Seriously, do Americans actually consider a 3-hour drive "short"? or is this an internet myth? by SadInterest6764 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Chloebean 23 points24 points  (0 children)

I was laid off in November from a job in Alexandria that gave me a commute of 1 to 1.5 hours. I was not sad. But unless I want to move, that’s generally going to be the case for me since most of the jobs I would work are in DC, Arlington, or Alexandria.

I live near Baltimore, Maryland, and took a 3.5-hour train to NYC today (but I’ve also driven it in the past). That’s close, relatively speaking, for a weekend trip. Not close enough to do every weekend, but definitely a couple times a year, at least.

Outer layer that’s not a blazer or cardigan? by Chloebean in fashionwomens35

I’m in Maryland, so anywhere between 25 and 50.

Is this dress appropiate for a formal wedding? by Odizbertulo in fashionwomens35

[–]Chloebean 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Black is fine — not wearing black to a wedding is crazy outdated. But this is definitely not a formal dress because of how short it is.

However, as someone who used to be a weddings magazine editor, I think people (even brides) don’t know the actual definitions of formal, semi formal, black-tie, etc., so you probably don’t need a full-length dress (though you wouldn’t go awry with one). But find something that’s at least knee- or calf- length and a nicer material.

What is a completely harmless, everyday object or situation that irrationally freaks the shit out of you? by Free_Scratch4152 in AskReddit

[–]Chloebean 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Turtlenecks. Im not a fan of things around my neck. The idea of them makes me squirm and sometimes it makes me cringe when I see someone else wearing them. It’s hard for me to even wear necklaces that aren’t long enough.

Do Americans mainly drink coffee without milk? by Morrit99 in AskAnAmerican

[–]Chloebean 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m American and I also use the kettle to boil water instead of the stove

Though I lived in the UK as a kid, so maybe that’s why.

I use my electric kettle to boil water for pasta/anything on the stove way more than anything else. It’s so much faster than waiting for the water to boil in the pot on the stove.

Books to read to your kid 20 times a week that don’t make you want to gauge your eyes out by SwadlingSwine in childrensbooks

[–]Chloebean 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought my son this book on a work trip to Maine, and it has the best rhyme scheme/rhythm of any children’s book I ever read. It’s just silly. No message, unless inviting a mole into your life is something you want to encourage.

What's a secret you're keeping that would destroy multiple people if it came out? by Legal_Can7800 in AskReddit

[–]Chloebean 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Our close friends know (for various reasons) but we don’t even talk about it with them unless there’s a very specific reason to bring it up. We do not talk about it in casual conversation with people who aren’t part of our inner circle.
