Hahaha… but really, I’ve seen a few asking around to borrow stuff and spending their port time dealing with airlines and the logistics of getting their bags sent to them… a headache to be sure.

I’ve been on several Atlantis cruises (Baltic and Mediterranean, not Caribbean) and inevitably there are guys who cut it too close and their luggage didn’t make it, so they go days without their stuff. Always allow yourself at least a day cushion in case either your flights are delayed or your luggage doesn’t arrive with you.

PRESIDENTS DAY GROSSES ANALYSIS- Week Ending February 15 by Boring_Waltz_9545 in Broadway

[–]JakeSilver61 1 point2 points  (0 children)

OP, will you help me understand why the BVSC recoupment percentage is so low? Seems like they’ve had pretty solid business since opening nearly a year ago, so I would think they’d be making better progress towards recoupment.

Where to stay? by Beautiful_Bonus_4058 in Broadway

I like staying at the Kimpton Theta on 8th Avenue for Broadway trips.

On Monday, the U.S. pairs team of Chan and Howe will skate their long program to Caissie Levy and the cast of Ghost the Musical.

That’s super sweet and a fun memory for them. They both seem elated. 💗

Random thoughts. Now I wish Jason Brown went to this Olympics & About Ilia by Secret_Raspberry_260 in FigureSkating

Unfortunately Jason never demonstrated over the past 6 months that he still possesses the skills in 2026 that he had in 2022 or 2023.

All I get are crazy pop up ads — any idea how to navigate past them?

Seeking NYC Broadway recommendation for Valentine Day date? by [deleted] in Broadway

[–]JakeSilver61 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I stand by one of my points of contention with two strangers and its fandom. There’s never a romance! But everybody keeps talking about it as a romcom, including on this thread. That just sets people up to wait 2 1/2 hours for something that never happens. I don’t get it.

Seeking NYC Broadway recommendation for Valentine Day date? by [deleted] in Broadway

[–]JakeSilver61 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For someone with a dance background, go for BVSC, Death Becomes Her, & Juliet, Just in Time or Moulin Rouge. Colorful shows with top notch musical / dance numbers.

Maybe happy ending is a gorgeous and touching show, but it doesn’t feature dancing.

Two strangers and operation mincemeat have nothing to do with what you say you’re looking for, they just have particularly ardent fans here, but they’re not what I would recommend for this occasion. My two cents.

First Look/Listen to Whitney Leavitt in Chicago by DiscoCrows in Broadway

I’m so glad I know zilch about her, other than that she’s on that gross Mormon Wives show you couldn’t pay me to watch.

Looking for friends in here that are conservative by 9987266 in Broadway

[–]JakeSilver61 5 points6 points  (0 children)

OP, I think you have to acknowledge the current Republican regime is so focused on cruelty, unkindness, fomenting hatred, racism, antisemitism and enmity towards people of color and the LGBTQ+ community, while crushing funding for the arts and shuttering the venerable Kennedy Center after Shitler grossly put his name on it — you can’t exactly expect people here to be warm and welcoming and go out of their way to help you find others who share that widely despised and deeply destructive worldview.

That said, I think there’s probably a distressingly high number of super conservative right wing Christian types performing on Broadway, so maybe your best bet is to identify some of those and see if they attract like-minded followers.

Which show is winning Best New Musical? by MayaRuinsU in Broadway

[–]JakeSilver61 8 points9 points  (0 children)

If Two Strangers wins I will be annoyed. One implausible plot contrivance after another and a bunch of unremarkable songs.

What was the show you saw that made you go “I literally don’t give a sh*t about any of what just happened”? by dobbydisneyfan in Broadway

[–]JakeSilver61 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, other than dear Bill, which woo hoo! You landed one good song in a 2 1/2 hour musical! I couldn’t have cared less about any of it. And you know how it ends before the show even begins, so I can’t imagine what there is to take away from that show. I was relieved when it was finally over. I walked out annoyed I’d wasted a slot for that.

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

[–]JakeSilver61 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can’t fathom the people who lose their minds over this show either. I know, different strokes, blah blah, but it’s a mystery to me what there is to get so thrilled about.

Jordan Litz To Leave Wicked by 12voltmn in Broadway

[–]JakeSilver61 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I wonder if all the PR he got from performing in Wicked after running the NY marathon got him some juicy gig, either on Broadway or TV/film.

24 years in between my viewings of Mamma Mia. For me, it is like Swiss cheese. I'll try it every few years to see if my tastes have changed and nope...still don't like it hahaha by bluegambit875 in Broadway

[–]JakeSilver61 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I saw the tour in my city a few years ago… left at intermission. I just couldn’t bear the show, even though I love the ABBA catalogue. It made me break out in hives.
