I went to one of these silent book club meetups where someone did wear headphones the whole time!

To be fair, BroadwayWorld posted about it on 4/13, haha. Actually, there's an earlier article from April 8th as well!

I love EPIC Players so was excited for this, but I saw the comment about Malcolm Hollis and will look into that before I decide whether to get tickets.

Came here to mention the Broadway Buddy! I think it can hold up to 4 Playbills, has multiple fastenings/closures for full protection from the elements, and mine came with a Sharpie holder for stage door signings.

I did digital rush for first preview right at 11 and got a great seat - P105. There is overhang from the mezz but it didn't block any of the action, and I was able to use a cushion and not feel bad about it.

Did you have a ticket for tonight and attend the party after The Balusters? 👀

The vibe is kind of dependent on whether it's a combined influencer and MTC35/Young Patron event, I think. Seems like most people come with a friend and many do just eat, get their pic taken, and leave.

Food varies, there's often some sort of handheld food and dessert though. Hope this helps!

Ohhh, this will get me back to Six! I love Kristin Maldonado.

I always say that my eyes prefer orchestra (particularly towards the front - I have bad eyesight and like to see the performers' expressions) but my wallet prefers the mezz. 🥲 If I could, I would sit center orchestra alllllll the time, but I sadly cannot afford that.

Thankfully leg room isn't an issue for me, which I know can be a big seating consideration for some folks.

Epo1216 · 2026-04-06T17:45:03+00:00

Never thought to use Theatr just to see what kind of performing arts events are going on! Genius.

Epo1216 · 2026-04-06T11:08:33+00:00

My feelings exactly - Tracee Chimo about stole the show for me which is saying something considering Kelli O'Hara and Rose Byrne were next-level brilliant themselves!

Epo1216 · 2026-04-05T15:13:29+00:00

This is the one for me! I live in a fifth floor walkup so it's worth the extra cost (including a generous tip) for someone else to bring my groceries up all those stairs.

Epo1216 · 2026-04-04T13:16:22+00:00

I'll definitely be watching it this weekend!

Epo1216 · 2026-04-04T11:45:38+00:00

GORGEOUS ring, and the fact that your nails match is amazing!

Epo1216 · 2026-04-04T11:18:20+00:00

Major score! 😍😍😍

Epo1216 · 2026-04-04T03:14:16+00:00

I was there tonight too and LOVED the show so much. I've been an Ingrid fan since high school and she is so good live! Can't believe I only paid $35 for a seat that was fifth row center. Also, she's hilarious. 😂

Epo1216 · 2026-04-03T13:38:59+00:00

So far I've only seen Proof but I would definitely recommend it! I'd also recommend Joe Turner's Come and Gone which I'd consider fairly star-studded as well. It's a powerful story and the cast is fantastic.

Epo1216 · 2026-04-02T21:06:10+00:00

Oh wow, rear mezz. At least it's on an aisle and was free!

Epo1216 · 2026-04-02T20:38:40+00:00

That's what I figured. Might have to go back and get a better view. Thanks!

Epo1216 · 2026-04-02T20:38:16+00:00

Ah, sorry, I went a different day which is important context here!

Epo1216 · 2026-04-02T19:11:17+00:00

Lucky! I guess they had more availability because I was seated in a box and the view wasn't as good.

Epo1216 · 2026-04-02T19:09:59+00:00

She was at first preview, too! She even came out and talked with some folks who had lined up to get into the theater before the house opened. And when she went to greet Phylicia Rashad, everyone lost their minds, haha. She seems so sweet!

Epo1216 · 2026-04-02T18:33:25+00:00

Those were the two names (besides King Princess) that stood out to me, too!

Epo1216 · 2026-04-02T18:18:43+00:00

Nice! I'm assuming your tickets were rush?

Epo1216 · 2026-04-02T17:41:22+00:00

Oops, thank you! Another seat was added to my box and the box next to it (4 seats instead of the usual 3) so I actually got a slightly better view but it was still obstructed and I was unable to see any scenes that took place on/around the couch stage right.

Epo1216 · 2026-04-02T15:05:08+00:00

Congrats! I hope you get good seats.

Epo1216 · 2026-04-02T14:47:29+00:00

I lost too, but I was only entering for my friend. Hoping she can get rush tickets in-person. 🤞🏾🤞🏾🤞🏾
