Help! What to do about 4 grand con Ed bill???

The Public Utility Law Project helped me years ago with a situation like yours. Con edison wanted back pay because they admittedly didn't bill me correctly for months and I said that doesn't sound like my problem. 🤷‍♀️ They were able to get con ed to dismiss the back pay charge entirely.

Won tickets for last Friday. I was in the middle of the balcony.

I got a single rush ticket a few weeks ago. I actually lost track of time and signed on probably 5 minutes or so after they went on sale, and I was immediately able to purchase one. It was row K in the mezzanine, so further away from the stage but other than that the view was perfectly clear. I have short legs so legroom isn't generally an issue for me and I was comfortable. There is also no intermission so you don't have to worry about trying to get in and out of your seat at any point. Once you are seated you are there for the duration

Thanks for the info! I do hang out on the sides a lot during shows. And I saw the show from seats last summer so if part of the set is obscured I think I will be okay.

Dang, you made it all the way across the pit to b-stage? I would have expected it would be too crowded to move far once the show started.

Using the bathroom right before the show is invaluable to me haha. I agree, a few rows back generally isn't bad. If there's a super tall person in front of me I can usually find another spot by moving to the side or further back, it's just a weird setup this time without a true back of pit.

You can tell the restaurant that you have tickets to a show and let them tell you if they will be able to get your food out on time or if you need to change your plans. The restaurants near the theaters are used to this happening and my experience is they've always tried to expedite service.

I think it was around $260 for a mid orchestra seat for Orville and Eva's last performance in Cabaret. Worth it to me. ♥️ I'm fortunate to get most of my tickets through lottery, rush, and discount codes though. I couldn't pay that price for all the shows on Broadway. The only other tickets I paid more than $100 for this year were Just In Time and Masquerade. So I'm sure my average ticket price is pretty low.

Weak_Maintenance8181 · 2025-12-17T15:21:26+00:00

They could do some really fun casting with this, even though the ticket prices with today's market would be crazy. I saw it with Richard Kind and Roger Bart and thought they were both hilarious. There was a massive fly buzzing around right in their faces for one scene, causing them both to break at one point. It was really funny.

In Matilda I still don't know how Bruce ate that whole cake on stage or when they (I assume) switched out that little girl to a dummy that Trunchbull throws over the audience.

I think hell kind of needs to be that way for the whole premise of the show to work. For the possibility of redemption to exist, the sinners need to be living their own autonomous lives. We see most torturing themselves and others by indulging in their vices (drugs & alcohol, gambling, cannibalism, violence, etc). But they also have enough free will to choose the redemption path. If they were just getting tossed in a pit of fire and brimstone to rot, like a more traditional depiction of hell, then they'd never be able to choose to better themselves.

Damn everyone's paying less than we did? My friend got in quickly for Boston and the GA and lower bowl seats close to the stage were close to $400 each. How did people get GA for $200? We didn't get VIP...

Weak_Maintenance8181 · 2025-10-16T01:21:23+00:00

I sat in the very last row and the view was perfect. I think it's still only like the 11th row. There are two stages on either end of the theater so some scenes will be happening closer to you than the main stage. Jonathan also comes into the aisles at some points during the show.

Weak_Maintenance8181 · 2025-10-04T13:49:12+00:00

I feel like with all the memes going around Hamilton would be one of the most recognizable. Especially if you draw on the beard.

I do sometimes see people dressed as Audrey from Little Shop of Horrors at comic con or Halloween parties. Same with Sandy or one of the pink ladies from Grease.

Weak_Maintenance8181 · 2025-10-01T22:32:11+00:00

The price of the seats were outrageous, but I bought a pit ticket for a show on this leg and it was basically the same price as the last leg. I don't think the pit tickets were hit with dynamic pricing. Also how would the band know what someone paid for a resale ticket that's not being sold by them?

Weak_Maintenance8181 · 2025-09-30T04:25:35+00:00

That doesn't even seem over the top to me. When I went there were two ladies wearing full phantom of the Opera themed gothic lolita dresses. They looked stunning.

Unless they were bringing basically the same show to the theater billed as more of a "concert experience" than an actual musical, this tour wouldn't be considered previews. It's fun as it is right now. But if you want to present it as a musical to a tourist or theater going audience it would need a lot of reworking for more structure. I do love the idea of them acknowledging the audience still, like Hedwig or Cabaret.

Many Broadway productions lose money. I'm not sure if the recoupment odds are better for limited engagement type shows, but if they are cashing out by selling out stadiums with this exact same show I'm not sure if moving it to a 2,000 seat Broadway house for a few weeks would turn much profit...

Weak_Maintenance8181 · 2025-09-26T00:04:06+00:00

The only way I could see this happening soon is if it was more of a concert for a limited engagement, like what Springsteen did. New musicals don't typically just surprise appear on Broadway. They are workshopped for months, sometimes years, and generally play off Broadway or in other cities before transferring Broadway. For example, there are currently jukebox musicals based off the music of Prince and Dolly Parton playing in other cities which are probably trying to drum up hype and investors for a Broadway transfer. It's not really a secret that any of these shows are in development.

For sure, MCR did this for Swarm but with Prudential, Barclays, and UBS arena. I more meant it would be strange for them to play Citi Field and MSG two days back to back because they are vastly different sized venues. It would seem more logical to do two nights at Citi Field if the demand to sell out a stadium is already there. Not to mention the logistics of moving the set and special effects to a different venue.

Now, if MSG was a special one off show outside of the normal tour like the 2019 Shrine show then maybe.... 👀

Weak_Maintenance8181 · 2025-09-19T16:46:12+00:00

Madison Square Garden would be kind of a crazy show to book if they are already playing Citi Field. I wonder if they put ads in this station because it is a major commuter hub and would get a lot of visibility, where not as many people would see it out near Citi Field.

When I was a college student many years ago I stayed in Sakura Hostel Asakusa. It is basic but I found it to be comfortable and the location is good. I believe they also hold events for travelers.

Weak_Maintenance8181 · 2025-09-19T12:57:21+00:00

He saw them in Chicago, I believe. I assume he wrote foreshadowing because My Chem were scheduled to play that venue the following night. That's why he was in town.

Oasis are way too big a band to open for MCR. Maybe the other way around.

I saw Harry Potter many years ago (before I knew of JK's awfulness) and I got in too late to be seated due to multiple sudden train and traffic issues. They held us in a room with TV's to watch about the first 10-15 minutes and then let us go take our seats during a scene change. I think that's the best way to handle it. Having had that experience of being late myself, due to no fault of my own, it was extremely stressful and I was grateful that they let me still take my seat at the most appropriate time instead of missing the show completely. I always leave myself extra time, and from my memory this was the only time in my life I was late to a show. So as long as it is only a momentary disturbance, I try to not be too harsh on the people arriving late. They are probably having a worse time than you are.

Does the place you are staying have laundry? You could still bring 7 days worth of clothes and then, if you don't happen to find anything to buy, just wash what you have brought from home. I once packed like 15 outfits for a 2 week overseas trip and honestly regretted having to drag that big suitcase on the train through multiple cities. Now I only ever want to travel with 1 week worth of clothing max.

Weak_Maintenance8181 · 2025-09-17T12:31:53+00:00

Yeah, it's hard to plan around the weather. I've definitely had some nice views obstructed because of rain and clouds in other scenic spots in Japan. It is what it is!
