plaid ducky Posted November 6, 2010 Share Posted November 6, 2010 Ben Thompson is on for Tunny this afternoon. Don't know if he's on for the evening as well. First time an understudy has gone on for the leads. (Van is technically a standby) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 6, 2010 Share Posted November 6, 2010 Do you think tickets for this will be more expensive at Easter? Because that's when I'm going to NY. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plaid ducky Posted November 6, 2010 Share Posted November 6, 2010 Do you think tickets for this will be more expensive at Easter? Because that's when I'm going to NY. Nope. Prices generally stay the same during the holidays. Only when something big happens (like Billie as St. Jimmy) have they raised prices. You can check out the prices now at Telecharge.com. I have to say, though, that the closer you get to the date of the performance, they might might release the Premium seats for the regular price. So, instead of paying $200 something, it'll be only $127 or whatever the regular seat price is. Word to the wise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kerplunk_chick Posted November 6, 2010 Share Posted November 6, 2010 saw the show for the first time today. i think ben did an excellent job as tunny. not that i would know how stark does, but hey. and i was standing next to michael esper outside st. james about an hour and a half before the show and didn't even say hello. *facepalm* anyways, i loved the show. i waited outside for awhile afterwards for autographs but not many people came out. ben did, which i thought was cool. he mentioned how it was his first time playing tunny and that he was nervous. but he did fantastic. and he was really sweet. anyone from gdc go to the show at 2pm earlier today?

plaid ducky Posted November 7, 2010 Share Posted November 7, 2010 Aww... Ben... he's a sweetheart. He went on a few times in Berkeley but yeah, it's his first time on Broadway. I'm glad that you liked him. And you should have totally talked to Esper. He would have loved to have talked to you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

decca Posted November 9, 2010 Share Posted November 9, 2010 I'm surprised nobody has reported on the Saturday night and Sunday matinee shows! Saturday night Theo COMPLETELY forgot the last line to the first verse of TMTS ("its now her occupation that she's overqualified") and instead started singing the first line of the song again. About four words in, he realized his mistake and just began singing sort of random syllables and finished the line with "qualified". It was hilarious. I was impressed that Alysha didn't react to it at all. But I talked to her after the show, and she hadn't heard it happen but had instead found Libby doubled over in laughter backstage right before Alysha went on. Her little vocal riff at the end of that song was one I've never heard her do before, and it was FANTASTIC. Probably my favorite of all the ones I've heard her do. Then on Saturday during JoS, Ben dropped the backpack but he managed to cover it just fine and throw it to Declan. Who then proceeded to way overshoot the throw to Esper and throw it straight off the stage and into the aisle by the front row. An audience member just threw it right back up though, lucky for Esper. Although I must say, Esper's face at realizing what had just happened was pretty funny. He completely managed to react in character though. I think some of audience didn't even realize anything had gone truly wrong. OH and I met Michael Mayer for the first time Sunday afternoon! Just ran into him as I was heading into the lobby after the show. Nobody had noticed him, so I just said hi and showed him my AI tattoo (the heart/cross St. Jimmy symbol). He seemed really enthralled with it and drew one right next to where signed my playbill. It was really nice getting to chat with him, I have so much respect for him as an artist. Ok. Excessively long post is over now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
