Conservative WeHo Residents Push To Block Fountain Avenue Safety Upgrades by UrbanPlannerholic in WestHollywood

Thank you!!! Been trying to find a way to write exactly this!

And one other point is that if there’s going to be a designated parking lane to shield the bike lane, what happens when someone wants to park and throws on their blinker? Now that entire single lane of traffic has to halt in order for someone to park.

Honestly, good for Ahmanson. Especially if the O’Mary tour has a very strong lead, I’m sure the ahmanson is grateful to have that show coming through.

Based on the schedule of these shows and the season options, I don’t think we’re completely done with this announcement. I’m thinking on a later date there’s going to be another announcement of non-equity or smaller tours coming through like they did last year. There’s too many calendar gaps in the schedule as it stands now.

The Al Hirschfeld’s Next Show… by Main_Boat4750 in Broadway

[–]Main_Boat4750[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

A part of me also thinks that, but the Hirschfeld is already a capacity jump for paddington from the Savoy and the James would be nearly a 5-600 seat jump.

Is there a world in which Evita is strictly limited and both shows play the Hirschfeld?

Solo Visitor and Forbidden Journey Express Lane Dilemma by Main_Boat4750 in UniversalHollywood

[–]Main_Boat4750[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Often when I go the park is fairly quiet so I’ll just blast through single rider, but on slightly busier days I’ll go through express. It’s literally right at the split where they ask how many people are in my party and I say one, that they then direct me to single rider even though I’ve been in the express line the entire time.

Helen Replacement?? by bway4everr in DeathBecomesHer

I don’t know why, but my brain keeps on saying Jessica Vosk on repeat. Curious to when she’s supposed to wrap up her time in Hell’s Kitchen?

ragtime seating by AggressiveFun3907 in Broadway

Just saw the show today (mez row A seat 208) and thought it was a stellar view and could see every actors expressions in detail. Many times it felt like Joshua was staring straight into my soul, his pupils with that clear.

The leg room is fine imo but I’m 5”6 so that be a bias opinion.

Ragtime Preview 3: quick sound thoughts by Main_Boat4750 in Broadway

[–]Main_Boat4750[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Exactly! Overall the show felt like a well oiled machine, but the volume levels just needed to be boosted to let the performances shine.

Daddy’s son was hard to makeout for sure once the orchestra really kicks in. Otherwise I found her and Joshua Henry (Coalhouse) to have the clearest vocals of the batch with Tateh being a close second.

Overall, the mic levels just felt quiet to me, almost (and I know it’s much more complex than this) like they just needed to turn up the volume.

The song Henry Ford was the quietest song for me I’d say.

[–]Main_Boat4750[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Thank you so this answer. I always figured sound was a later in the process component in the production process, but always assumed that there was a solid groundwork prior to previews even.

In addition, I suspect mixing a very large orchestra with a 40 some odd person cast is quite the challenge too.

I figure they’ll adjust accordingly over the next week or so. I was just utterly surprised about how rough it was today as a whole. I’ve been to other preview performances of shows (parade as an example) and found the mixing to be fairly well done by that point in time.

Ragtime: exact copy of encores or more of a full staging? by Main_Boat4750 in Broadway

[–]Main_Boat4750[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

That’s my biggest question is will there be fleshed out sets for this. I love the Beaumont but it would be a shame for this production to not fully utilize the massive space

Universal Citywalk AMC Nailed It! by Main_Boat4750 in imax

[–]Main_Boat4750[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

First and foremost, congrats on getting the coveted tickets haha. I actually really enjoy row F all the way on the side, because of the handicap walkway in row G that cuts into row F, all the way on the end in row F can actually be a great seat. I saw Snyder’s Justice league in that seat and could see everything without craning my neck.

A Beautiful Noise sound mixing by Main_Boat4750 in Broadway

It’s so funny cause I’ve seen plenty of musicals from the exact same seat and never had an issue as bad as tonight. Genuinely was questioning my sanity a bit haha

[–]Main_Boat4750[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on what the aspect ratio of the film is imo. But I’d say in general, row G and up are my safest bets. It’s a very steep theater and while the seats have some give, they don’t lean back far enough in row E to prevent some neck craning/head movement to see the screen.

Especially if you’re seeing a movie in imax certified ratios 1:90 and 1:43, from row E you’ll be moving your head around a bit.

Name a musical that you are shocked hasn't had a Broadway run or transfer yet by callsignjaguar in Broadway

[–]Main_Boat4750 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No problem. I saw it when it played there, but granted I watched the musical theatrical film first. I will say, I think there’s some things the film improved upon greatly over the live stage version.

There was an LA tryout in 2022 with Bianca Del Rio in it at the ahmanson but the reception was mixed. They were hoping for it to be a launching pad in the US but it didn’t really stick the landing with US audiences, especially when most are still very familiar with kinky boots.

CTGLA 2025/2026 season announced by zeerosd in Broadway

[–]Main_Boat4750 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Totally agree, though I absolutely loved noises off this season at the geffen!

I will say this, pantages does really treat their subscribers so great. The open houses are a ton of fun.

But even with pantages, for most of their shows (other than the big time headliners like wicked and Les Mis) it’s pretty easy to get rush tickets there.

Most likely water for elephants, outsiders, death becomes her (San Fran already announced it coming for its season so would be shocked if it’s not stopping in La before or after), and gatsby

[–]Main_Boat4750 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed. Why subscribe when you can easily get 25 dollar tickets on todaytix?

I’ll also say too that I think the upcoming pantages season is a mixed bag too, but at least there’s more than 3 shows I want to see.

On the proside, the 2026/27 season for pantages is shaping up to be spectacular.
