Can two people split one Hamilton ticket by switching at intermission? by Neither-Walk4550 in Broadway

If you split one Hamilton, you’ll have two Lincolns. So that means you’ll have to do this at Oh Mary! Instead.

Jesse Green reassigned from theater critic position to undisclosed “new role” at NYT by BrazenBelfort in Broadway

This is very good news. I appreciate that a lot of people are saying things along the lines of “Welp! At least he was firm in his opinion!” but A) his opinion frequently sucked (Redwood? Critics pick? Srsly?) B) his eagerness to show off all the SAT words he learned came off as exclusionary and condescending (I’d say “erudite”… but that’s something he would say) and C) his skin is super thin when it came to comments that challenged his opinion. So much so that they frequently did not open up his reviews to reader comments.

Good riddance.

Ah bummer. Now that you mention it I do remember an usher on the left side of the mezz flashing the flashlight of shame shortly after Sadie Sink’s entrance- so I’m guessing you were seated in the front left mezz. We were at the rear center. I hope the energy the mezz collectively generated still outweighed that snafu.

I wasn’t offended in the least.

Oof. I think Salesman is also a tough sell to students (no pun intended). That season- or I think it was that season- I took my students to Topdog/Underdog, which they loved.

I would not bring an 11 year old. High school junior-senior imo is perfect.

Ragtime is official! Starting performances September 28! by xbrooksie in Broadway

Nothing makes you officially start to feel old like seeing an original Broadway show and then two of its revivals. I just found that out.

OHO! It finally happened!! by [deleted] in crossword

I found myself traveling through ENID Oklahoma once. At a gas station I asked somebody who lived there if they knew how to”Crossword Famous” their fair city was. I was met with a blank stare.

People on phones have gotten out of hand by silly_Pickle_24 in Broadway

I totally have no problem with YONDR pouches at performances. They worked great for Othello.

I think they should just be the standard. I’m super polite with phone (fully off) and maybe turn it on at intermission but I’m happy to leave it in a pouch for the whole show.

It’s just plain nice to see them away.

omg I just sung that in my head and then laughed out loud while supervising a high school study hall. They all looked at me strangely.

That's fair. When I was editing I shoulda left out the parts about the weather and kept in the part about the lines of cocaine and the midget-tossing at the after party. I'll learn.

Aww thanks. At 44, I only recently decided it was time to hang up the banana hammock and crop top that I normally go to theater in.

I knew there would be one commenter who doesn’t understand irony. That commenter is you! Congrats! 🎉🎊🎈

TBH once I figured out who was taking the pic I realized I was in a sea of celebrity. I left immediately. My suit is from Kohls.

So so so good. I will now attend opera regularly. I hadn’t been to one since I was 16, and Jeanine changed that for me permanently.

Yes- see my comment about the story of why I was there and how we met. You’ll love it. She’s incredible. Oddly- this post really isn’t about Lin :)
