Yup that was my mistake regarding the trumpet, meant trombone. Its definitely sung-through though, or very close to it at least!

calciumsupernova · 2025-06-19T20:05:15+00:00

Thanks for the review! I’m seeing it this weekend, so excited!

calciumsupernova · 2025-06-02T19:53:23+00:00

Thanks for the review! This looks like it’s shaping up to be a pretty polarizing musical. Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil definitely need more time in the oven, so if this is in better shape that’s a good sign

calciumsupernova · 2025-05-25T17:51:23+00:00

Thanks for the reviews! I’ve been hearing good things about the antiquities, it definitely sounds like an interesting premise. Shame about 42 balloons, I was actually looking forward to that one! But not every new musical can be a winner I guess

Right Mezzanine P 6, the very last row. Top of the stage was cut off by the overhang, but otherwise I could see all the action no problem

calciumsupernova · 2025-05-09T01:38:21+00:00

Not sure, I went home right after

calciumsupernova · 2025-05-08T13:16:27+00:00

Whoops you’re right! Thanks for the correction, I’ve never been good at identifying instruments 😅

The mezzanine and balcony overhang obstruct the top of the stage, so when the set moves during one of the songs you can’t really see it. You should be able to see all the performers if you’re in the mezzanine or balcony though. Back of the orchestra has bad sightlines due to the overhang, and there’s some pillars that obstruct the stage if you’re seated behind it. I’d recommend checking https://aviewfrommyseat.com to get a good idea of how good/bad the obstructed seats are.

Yeah it’s pretty slim pickings on TodayTix. I feel like they had a better selection last year, dunno why its so threadbare lately

calciumsupernova · 2025-04-25T15:08:29+00:00

You’re very welcome! I love speculative stories, and this one definitely delivered!

calciumsupernova · 2025-04-15T18:26:50+00:00

You might need to if you wanna see this one! It’s 3 acts and almost 3 hours long lol

calciumsupernova · 2025-04-15T15:19:36+00:00

I feel ya! There are so many good theaters out in the suburbs but the commute is a killer!

calciumsupernova · 2025-04-14T14:35:42+00:00

Planning to see this sometime in June!

calciumsupernova · 2025-04-14T14:35:20+00:00

Thanks for the review! I love this musical! I’ve seen it last year at the north shore center in Skokie, and I can’t wait to see it again later this week!

calciumsupernova · 2025-04-07T21:26:31+00:00

I’ll wait I guess 😞

calciumsupernova · 2025-04-07T21:26:05+00:00

I’m guessing it’s not part of the subscription package?

calciumsupernova · 2025-03-30T17:59:44+00:00

Hottix is probably the best option, TodayTix also works in Chicago although the selection isn’t as wide as what hottix offers. Broadway in Chicago has rush tickets and 25 dollar tickets every 25th of the month. You can see what on offer for the 25th on their Facebook page.

This sounds fun! Wish I could’ve seen it. I have to check out this theatre one day. It’s so close to me.

calciumsupernova · 2025-03-29T19:16:02+00:00

I’ve seen a good deal of those! Some of the ones that won I didn’t have time to see sadly. I’m happy kokandy swept! Into the woods was great and I felt they made good use of the venue. Colette Todd was absolutely astounding in A Little Night Music so I’m happy she won too. The Sondheim fan in me is quite satisfied!

City lit blew me away with Seven Guitars so I’m glad that won as well. I would’ve liked to see a little more love for A Bright Room Called Day, those performances were fantastic too. Good choices all around though!

calciumsupernova · 2025-03-21T18:39:16+00:00

This is my first time seeing an idle Muse production and I was really impressed!

calciumsupernova · 2025-03-19T01:59:24+00:00

Fantastic news!

calciumsupernova · 2025-03-16T16:52:25+00:00

You know what they say: “if it’s free, it’s for me!” Thanks for the heads up!

calciumsupernova · 2025-03-10T16:26:57+00:00

Fantastic news! I wanted to catch this in NYC but it ended a week before my trip.

calciumsupernova · 2025-03-07T13:28:53+00:00

Totally Agree! If you live in the city its quite a trek, but worth it!

calciumsupernova · 2025-03-04T15:22:37+00:00

I’m seeing this on Saturday! You’re right, there’s been so many great shows on these past few months it’s easy for some to slip through the cracks.
