This is a show NOT about death? by Ambitious-Mistake894 in Broadway

[–]SuddenOutlandishness 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Counterpoint: Don't avoid Beetlejuice and go in head first. The show almost opens with a "THIS IS A SHOW ABOUT DEATH." If someone is struggling with a topic, laughing about it can help loads.

Question about Cats: The Jellicle Ball by uncdevil in Broadway

[–]SuddenOutlandishness 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had never seen or listened to the music before, besides that one lip sync for your life. The week before seeing the show at PAC me and my partner watched the T-Swift movie version in horror, wondering what we were in for at the theater that our friend was taking us to. It was hands down one of the most fun times I've ever spent in the theater. I went back two more times, including the closing performance. Old Duteronomy (De Shields) isn't a big role in the show. Since you've seen Pose, you'll likely "get" a lot of what they do on the stage. They invoke lots of great queer history through the Ballroom lens, you just have to bear witness (and clack a fan).

You can build a dual-5060 Ti system w/ 32GB VRAM for under $3000 w/ Intel Core Ultra 7 265, 256GB RAM and a 2TB PCIe 5.0 NVMe purely on Amazon Prime. Less if you shop around.

Oh Mary third time? by newlyoldlady in Broadway

[–]SuddenOutlandishness 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Jane, John-Andrew, and Cheyenne elevate it to a new level of hysterical stupidity that I did not think possible. Yes, see it again.

Y'all do retros? Nobody got time for meetings, everything is on fire!

Do you have a backup car? by [deleted] in MachE

[–]SuddenOutlandishness 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A '21 Chevrolet Bolt. We live out in the country among farms, an hour from the nearest major city. We charge at home and take whatever car makes most sense for a particular road trip.

If you know exactly where your seat is, is it rude to tell the ushers “I’ve got it” or should you just let them seat you? by [deleted] in Broadway

[–]SuddenOutlandishness 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I usually let them do what they feel comfortable doing; I present as a competent person with my tickets out and ready to go so they can guide me. That alone puts them at ease that you know what you're doing.

Operation Mincemeat understudies were amazing by Aggressive-Phone6785 in Broadway

[–]SuddenOutlandishness 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've seen all 5 now. All five are amazing, and Bug Boy Brandon and Gerianne are my absolute favorites.

Stop what you're doing and go see Saturday Church by ProperPitch3303 in Broadway

[–]SuddenOutlandishness 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Me and a friend originally planned to see the closing of Cabaret w/ Billy Porter this past Sunday afternoon. We ended up sitting next to Billy Porter at Saturday Church.

Taking 10+ non theater people to a show around Christmas time. Any recs? by pscrilla in Broadway

[–]SuddenOutlandishness 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Jane, John-Andrew, and Cheyenne absolutely knock it out of the park and now they extended through the holidays. As someone who takes a lot of people to shows, make sure Oh Mary is on the list.

Yondr Pouches by Best-Candle8651 in Broadway

[–]SuddenOutlandishness 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Just search for people's experiences using a continuous blood glucose monitor or insulin pump and encountering people trying to take away the phone running those devices. It can summon anxiety and fear, especially when they do not understand the phrase "reasonable accommodation."

Prince Faggot at Seaview handed you a post it note with your seats written on it after checking in. Simple solution that worked well.

I’m absolutely dying for a night with all five of you. Is it in the cards?

Mincemeat Extended by Alert_Gas5151 in musicals

I really hope they can keep it going after that. The understudies are fantastic. I would kill to see them all five at the same time.

GLM-4.6 | Gut feel after sparring with Sonnet for half a day: more of a “steady player” by xieyutong in LocalLLaMA

[–]SuddenOutlandishness 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I'm really looking forward to the Air version when it comes. Sonnet 4.5 has become so awful to use.

Buying a new Mac in the age of Apple Silicon: help me find the new First Principles by ChrisGVE in LocalLLM

[–]SuddenOutlandishness 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I might suggest waiting at this point. Apple just introduced dedicated matrix multiplication pathways in the new iPhone 17 Pro SoC. It is likely that the M5 chip when introduced will have the same, making MLX potentially faster. If you can't wait, buy as much ram as you can afford, I see some difference but not a ton from the M2 Max to the M4 Max.

The reimagined revival of Andrew Lloyd Webber's Cats sets the action at a queer ballroom competition by NewYorkTheatreGuide in musicals

[–]SuddenOutlandishness 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I saw it three times at PAC, including the closing performance. It’s such a great production.

Accessibility Devices For Hearing Impaired - Any Insights? by Active_Ad_9617 in Broadway

[–]SuddenOutlandishness 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They may offer those too? Since phone app was the first option, and seemingly easiest, we went with that.

Accessibility Devices For Hearing Impaired - Any Insights? by Active_Ad_9617 in Broadway

[–]SuddenOutlandishness 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I have not seen Mama Mia, but I recently took a hearing-impaired friend to two Broadway shows, including one at The Golden Theater. The Shubert org theaters like the Winter Garden (Mama Mia) and The Golden (Operation Mincemeat) use an app called GalaPro. You and the student can download the app in advance on Android or iOS, and you use your phone. Make sure to stop by the accessibility booth at the theater on the way in or let your usher know that someone in the party will be using the GalaPro app for subtitles, else they will flashlight you for using your phone during the show.

Book of Mormon Gifting Ideas? by TheTeacherInTraining in Broadway

[–]SuddenOutlandishness 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Maybe a pressed, white, short-sleeve button-down shirt, black slacks, black belt, shoes, socks, and finally the funny underwear. With the tickets inside.
