I have been afraid they would ruin it for a long time. Then they casted Ariana, which made me even less interested (even though I LOVE the show, and am seeing it for a 6th time this summer). And now this. No, in my opinion, that just kills it. The show is perfect as is, do they really need to add that much to it?
We are bringing my DD21 to NYC at the first part of June for a summer internship. May I ask how you scored such great seats? We're buying tickets for shows kind of late so all that's left for our time frame are the $600 seats and that's just not in the cards but I have loved The Music Man forever and Hugh Jackman well....do I really need to say more? We do have tickets for Plaza Suite and Little Shop of Horrors. We are planning to try to rush for Music Man.Popping back in -- this has been my month for shows! Starting with the big one first - we got to see Music Man with Hugh Jackman and Sutton Foster! I love the Music Man, as well as Hugh and Sutton, and had a great time. Sutton's voice isn't quite right for the songs, but she acted it so well. And Hugh is just Hugh - so charismatic and just doing a bangup job. I feel like the reviews were a bit harsh, but then I had a front row seat for $270, which is crazy bonkers but not $600. There is so much great dancing, but it never seemed to slow or bog the show down -- I really liked it. And since this is fundraising month for BC/EFA, they auctioned off Hugh and Sutton's gloves from the curtain call to raise money, and were selling signed poster cards.
Also got to see Six the Musical and Moulin Rouge back in the beginning of March. Six is a fantastic show - highly recommend it! Funny and very catchy songs. Moulin Rouge I mainly saw because I wanted to see Aaron Tveit, and because I figured the spectacle would be huge. Aaron Tveit was great, and the show was indeed a spectacle -- there were freaking fireworks coming out of the stage at the end of the opening number. The show itself kind of left me cold, but it was definitely a fun spectacle.
I also saw the recent touring production of Oklahoma last month -- I'm really glad I saw it but I have no desire to see it again. Kind of like the posters above -- Oklahoma is actually dealing with some pretty dark stuff, so it was nice to see a production actually grapple with that a bit.
100% agree with both of these!
And on a side note - have you guys heard of the app Mezzanine? I found out about it a few months ago on one of the broadway message boards and fell in love. It's only for ios, but it's basically an app to keep track of the shows and concerts you're seeing. For someone like me, I LOVE being able to keep track and jot down my reviews and even add pictures. It's free and there are no ads (if you want to add pictures, you do have to become a patron, but everything else is free). Figured other theatre peeps might want to check it out: https://www.theaterdiary.com/
I bought these several months ago right as they opened up tickets for those seats, so no tips really, unfortunately! Definitely check out the Broadway World message boards for tips on how rush goes/when to line up. Otherwise I’d just keep checking Telecharge’s website for possible exchanges/cancellations. Good luck!! It’s a super fun show
If you're going to RUSH The Music Man get there as early as you can. My daughter who lives in the City (we live in NJ about an hour away) got to the Box Office at 7:30 am on Sunday (Box Office opened at 12 and the 1st person in line had been there since 4:30am) and was the 10th person in line..they only sell 20-30 tickets per show. She got tickets but the person 2 behind her didn't. We sat 3rd row orchestra left, oh and the tickets were $49.
My family and I saw it about 2 weeks ago. The theater is so small that really any seat would be good. i bought tickets as soon as it was announced and got second row on the side. It was great!
He should still be there. We're going to see it in a couple of weeks. It hasn't gotten great reviews but I love Ramin, I've seen him in Les Miz and Anastasia, he's always great!
Thank you guys! I ended up going with the next row back and right in the middle of the section. I am excited.
This is Broadway adjacent and another thing to do in the city this summer: 
running May 14 - Aug 14.
“This summer, Lincoln Center invites you to experience the healing and rejuvenating power of the arts. Whether it’s rejoicing the night away on the dance floor, reclaiming rituals hindered by the pandemic, or moments for collective remembering, we offer this warm welcome to come together after so much time apart.” –Shanta Thake 
They have NYC's largest outdoor dance floor with a 10-foot disco ball now open for dancing under the stars.
