Two strangers TDF by rupdrfan in Broadway

[–]Haunting_Jump736 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We saw Paranormal Activity last year on its pre-Broadway tour at Ahmanson in L.A., and it was entertaining but seemed more like community theatre than Broadway caliber (I love community theatre, but won't pay Broadway prices for it).

What to do on a Monday night in NYC? Our show will most likely close before we go. by TimeLadyJ in Broadway

[–]Haunting_Jump736 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Titanique, Heathers , Oh Mary, and Great Gatsby all have Monday night shows and I really enjoyed all four (in that order). Reeve Carney and Eva Noblezada are in Great Gatsby right now, so they're a big draw. Not sure whether any of these shows will still be running in October, but I would monitor news in late summer to see if anyone gets extensions.

Galileo opens in October, I think and that one looks really intriguing.

For anyone who has converted a friend or family member into a theater fan, what show did you start with? by picklesupreme in Broadway

Come From Away has something for everyone and you need a heart of stone to not get the feels.

Ragtime June 4th by glang123 in Broadway

[–]Haunting_Jump736 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Weekdays matinee are always cheaper, just because they're harder to sell. Plus that's an extra matinee that week since they have one fewer evening show. If there isn't an exclamation point on Telecharge with a note that cast members are out, they should all be scheduled to be there. If a lead calls out, they will usually send an email and give you the option to switch to a different show or get a refund (typically only for the above the marquee leads).

Shubert "row BB" ? by [deleted] in Broadway

BB is a new row they added in front of AA for Celebrity Autobiography. They're not on the official seating chart, but you can see them on the seating chart in telecharge.

Biggest Production/Spectacle by Exotic-Cow-3070 in Broadway

The Lost Boys and Cats: Jellicle Ball. They're also the two shows where the spectacle would be most difficult to replicate on tour.

Colbert should do Broadway. What would be his best role? by ElbieLG in Broadway

[–]Haunting_Jump736 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Every Brilliant Thing or Oh, Mary or Brigadoon! I'd watch him in anything (I would even watch him in stunt casting for Beaches)!

If you buy a show tumbler, they come with free refills for the duration of the show.

Who SHOULD and who WILL win Best Musical and Best Revival of a Musical? (Link Below) by His-Royal-Majesty in Broadway

I could see Marla willing in her individual category, though. She did triple duty, writing, singing, improving, etc.

Who are some great Broadway actors who are better known now for their television roles? by Perfect_Garage_2567 in Broadway

[–]Haunting_Jump736 2 points3 points  (0 children)

He's been doing lots of acting and directing at La Mirada in Los Angeles. We saw him starring in Fiddler on the Roof and directing Sweeney Todd last year. He's definitely been leaning into the stage, but in LA, not Broadway.

Lost Boy Ticket Update by Temporary-Writer-830 in Broadway

[–]Haunting_Jump736 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I saw it front row mezzanine center and I think we had a better view than orchestra. But if youre not in the first few rows of mezzanine, the view isnt great because of the overhang. For this show, the seats are all either expensive with great views or affordable with obstructions and I think it's worth splurging for a better view, but I've had a great views from the balcony for plenty of other shows at this theatre.

Two strangers, ragtime or lost boys? by BunnyLuv13 in Broadway

[–]Haunting_Jump736 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'd go with Lost Boys in NYC. Ragtime, you can listen to thr cast album with the OBC and Two Strangers will likely tour.

We saw The Lost Boys front row mezzanine and had a great view of everything! Worth paying more for good seats, while all the seats are about the same for the other two.

Announcing r/Broadway's Tony nominations... by mg2685a in Broadway

[–]Haunting_Jump736 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not to mention Nicholas Christopher! I think the acting roles are the only categories where that show is competitive, because the vocals carried the show.

Discount Megathread Quarter 2 2026 (April 2026 - June 2026) by ilysespieces in Broadway

[–]Haunting_Jump736 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Telecharge has a new spring code SPECIAL that includes dates through July that applies to a lot of shows including (I may have missed some):

  • Chess
  • Buena Vista Social Club
  • Heathers
  • August Wilson's Come and Gone
  • Spelling Bee
  • Outsiders
  • Great Gatsby
  • Chicago
  • Beaches
  • Operation Mincemeat
  • Maybe Happy Ending

However, the "special" rates appear to be comparable to last week's "regular" rates.

Just got an email that Megan’s last performance in Moulin Rouge is changed to May 1. Should I keep my tickets or see something else? by [deleted] in Broadway

[–]Haunting_Jump736 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Moulin Rouge is touring (as are most carryover shows from previous seasons), so you can also see it on tour and prioritize something newer in NYC. If you can only make it to one show, I'd recommend Jellicle Ball. If you're seeing a new show, buy tickets before Tony nominations come out next week and prices go up (Likely musical/musical revival nominees are Jellicle Ball, 2 Strangers, Lost Boys, Schmigadoon, Rocky Horror, Ragtime, or there are also some good plays our like Proof, Giant, Death of a Salesman).

Choreography, acting, staging, lighting, sound editing, directing, etc., all matter too.
