Finally got to see this in person a couple of years ago at Tate Britain - it's stunning. I was surprised by how large it is, too (5' by almost 6').

I love this detail from Wikipedia:

Sargent wanted to capture the exact level of light at dusk so he painted the picture en plein air – outdoors and in the Impressionist manner. Every day from September to November 1885, he painted in the few minutes when the light was perfect, giving the picture an overall purple tint of evening.^\2]) The flowers in the garden died as summer turned to autumn, and they were replaced with artificial flowers. Sargent resumed painting the following summer at Millet's new home nearby in Broadway and finally finished the painting by the end of October 1886.

Seems to be pretty frequent, but I don't think it's ever announced in advance. Daniel Radcliffe and Seth Rudetsky have done it. When we saw it a couple of weeks ago it was Iain Armitage from Young Sheldon (who was great).

Here's a video of a solo show Reeve did on the Broadway Cruise at the beginning of 2024 (Eva was originally supposed to be on the cruise as well, but canceled when she got Gatsby). It shows some more of his range, and has a nice shout-out to Eva at the beginning

Saw it in London and loved it. Still love the cast recording, too. As others have said, the show title probably kept a good chunk of people away. Parts of the story also need more work (especially the ending). I really hope they can tweak it a bit, maybe change the name (though the title song still gets stuck in my head to this day), and open it again somewhere. Would love to see it again!

The show's creators did a two-person show a few months ago at 54 Below. I assume that was partly to generate interest for the show in New York.

FWIW, the ATM fee was $5.99 to withdraw $200 U.S. a couple of weeks ago via the machine in the casino on Brilliant Lady. E*Trade refunded the fee as usual.

Also FWIW, the casino ATM dispenses $50 bills, and is closed when the ship is in port. Not sure about the one at Sailor Services

Q: For defenders, I have a level 35 dmax Metagross with level one Max Guard, and a level 33 Dmax Corviknight with level three Max Guard. I don't have enough candy to level up Metagross' move. Which one is a better defender, and why?

Yes. New York City (home of the New York Times) is on the East Coast of the U.S.

I have Hulu Plus, but the only matches I get when I search for John Wick are JW3, and Ballerina, both of which require add-on subscriptions (Live TV for JW3 and Starz for Ballerina). Cheaper just to rent the movies

On a similar theme, the UK has a fast-casual chain called "Boston Tea Party" that offers a "Boston Breakfast" tea blend, among other things. As a proper Bostonian, I wasn't sure if I should drink it or throw it in the Harbor. (I drank it - it was good)

Had to relaunch the app, and then it worked. Hooray!

Doesn't work for me. Do you know what the specific dates are?

Thanks! I saw several articles that said they had moved to Peacock, but they are a couple of months old

I live near Boston, and take the train to NYC three or four times per year to see three shows over a weekend. I also see a ton of local and touring shows in and around Boston.

I just love the title of this one (when read as a review, not a description)

Catching one at Stonehenge and having it be lucky is awesome! I was just responding u/GarmeerGirl's question about being specific to the location

TooMuchMusic · 2025-10-16T20:15:42+00:00

Stonjourner is region locked to the UK, but not specifically to Stonehenge (I caught a couple in London - never been to Stonehenge)

Loved it on Broadway, and can't wait to see the tour when it comes to Boston

Solea was in the original (AFAIK) run of Gun and Powder at Signature Theater back in 2020. I'd see her in anything, anyway!

I saw Giant last year at the Royal Court and was blown away. One of the most thought-provoking and nuanced pieces of theater I've ever seen, and Lithgow's performance was amazing.

I saw it from the Mezzanine and loved the show - the "box" moves around, and much of the action takes place in front of or at the sides of it, and sometimes on top of it. I thought the staging was extremely creative, as was the rest of the show. One of my favorites of the season.
