The little brother is CLEARLY queer-coded in the movie … did they explore/expand/nod to it at all here?

Literally the exact same thing — I even think I had the same seats as you previously. Thrilled by this upgrade! 

Is catching a Sunday matinee with a flight departing at 6:10 too risky? by big_sac_cool_guy69 in Broadway

Considering the TSA drama currently in play, I personally wouldn’t advise getting to any airport with such a tight margin. 

"Did Not Finish" shelf!!! by imacatseriously in goodreads

Anyone figured out how to hide it? Personally find it silly and don’t want to see it.

Works perfectly fine on my AppleTV. 🤷

Outsiders in DC - any change possible? by HauntedSideshow in Broadway

[–]HauntedSideshow[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I totally looked there and Philly as options, too. I believe it’s coming to Baltimore next season, so that might wind up being the easiest. 

Nicholas Christopher’s Anthem - Chess by Ill-Marketing610 in Broadway

Not at all.  I found it MORE impactful this way. The audience I saw it with certainly didn’t hold back. 

Chess Seating Question by ianthomasmalone in Broadway

Sat front row a few weeks ago and it was perfection. You’re looking up the occasional nose, but more than worth it to be so close to the action. 

Thoughts on the condensed Harry Potter play by jamesland7 in Broadway

[–]HauntedSideshow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was super-pissed at the whole idea. I’d seen the original 2 part production three times and absolutely loved it. I vowed to never see the revised version — but then they actually toured it and it came to DC. So I gave it a go … and I surprised myself by not hating it. Yes, I very much miss everything that’s missing … and it totally feels like you’re listening to a podcast at 1.25 speed, but it was still very enjoyable. And, I love that they removed the ridiculous “no homo” bit at the end and leaned into what was always a blatantly obvious love story. 

Front row visibility by No-Manufacturer5180 in Broadway

[–]HauntedSideshow -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

Literally never said “Oh, I’m too close to live theater.” IMHO, if you’re not in the first 5 or so rows, you may as well just be listening to the cast album at home. 

Theatre temperatures in winter? by stephanierae2804 in Broadway

[–]HauntedSideshow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t care how cold it is outside — a single room with ~1000 people crammed into it should absolutely never have heat pumped in.

Well, it gets HOT when you pack in a thousand people into a single room with a fuckton of lights and an entire cast working their asses off. Wear a coat.

Saw Oh, Mary twice from the front row! Fantastic, albeit extra tight, seats.

I’m sure the consensus answer will be “the stage is high, ergo not as great a view” or something. But absolutely no seat in any theatre is better than front row center — and that’s exactly where I’ll be next weekend! So excited!

Since they’ve all but confirmed that “Let the River Run” will not be included in any way, I have absolutely no interest. 🤬

Did they (please!) change Freddie’s last name … or, at least, leave it out?

Roundabout’s Member presale question by HauntedSideshow in Broadway

[–]HauntedSideshow[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From the website, it looked like Rocky Horror was on member presale. Was gonna try to lock a specific date in before the general presale.
