We saw Harvey on Saturday night and enjoyed it. In addition to Jim Parsons, the cast includes a number of other "stars", (Carol Kane and Charles Kimbrough) but Jim Parsons was clearly a big hit. It opens officially on 6/14, I believe, and I'm interested to read the reviews.

thank you MP07950...glad you liked Harvey...have tickets for the 29th and taking my mother...hopefully she enjoys herself.

Cast change info for starrs and anyone else planning to see The Best Man this summer:
On July 10, Cybill Shepherd replaces Candace Bergen and John Stamos replaces Eric McCormack; on July 24, Elizabeth Ashley replaces Angela Lansbury. James Earl Jones and John Larouquette will remain.

Harvey is absolutely delightful; opens tonite starring
Jim Parsons, Carol Kane,Larry Bryggman

Went to Times Sq TKTS kiosk at ~10:50am on Wednesday for a matinee ticket. Almost gave up when I saw the long line. Luckily, I spotted the PLAY Express line which was much, much shorter. I wanted to see One Man, Two Guvnors anyway so it worked out. Stood in line for about 15 minutes.

Thoroughly enjoyed One Man, Two Guvnors. James Corden absolutely deserved his Tony. The play is really funny and the comic timing among the cast is impeccable. Lots of other comedies tend to reuse the same jokes and it gets old fast, but One Man Two Govnors have fresh jokes every time. LOVE it!

Am I the only one who didn't like Peter & the Star Catcher??? Actually, I know I'm not the only one because my partner didn't care for it either.

I appreciated the creativity, and I liked the ending -- but not enough to recommend sitting through the rest of it :-( .

Good reviews for Jim Parsons and Harvey from the critics!

starrs, I have the same decision to make regarding War Horse. Do I see it in NYC in September or in October when it comes to Boston?

Please let me know what you decide and why, thanks!

While the seats at the Vivian Beaumont are not the most comfortable in the world for me or my legs, it is a great venue for War Horse with its wide open stage and wrap around seating. I have no idea what the venue will be like in Boston, but I assume it is a more traditional theatre with the audience considerably more "removed" from the intimacy of the show. That's the only real reason I can think of for preferring the NYC version. I would imagine the cast and the "horses" will be equally good.

sassy cat, if you can, I recommend seeing War Horse in NYC. The Vivian Beaumont theatre is unique, and MUCH smaller in scale than the Boston Opera House. You will get a much more intense experience in NYC, even if you're sitting upstairs in the mezzanine level. The intimate experience (and seeing the horse puppets up close) will be completely lost at the Opera House. Just my 2 cents...

Another "plus" factor for the Beaumont: There isn't a bad seat in the theater.
On another front, if you want to see Anything Goes, you've only got until August 5, when it'll close.

Not all orchestra seats are created equally at the Beaumont. This was pointed out to us during intermission once by four men sitting directly behind us. Their row had far less leg room than ours. I would not have believed it had I not seen it. Strange, but true!

Just to clarify my last comment: I was referring to site lines not comfort!

Ooops, that should be "sight lines," not "site lines"!

Thanks for the update!

That was clear, Howard. I was meaning to post my comment for ages, but forgot about it. It just happened to follow yours.

Thanks Neo, yk, HowardR and CPGirl,
OK, Good to hear there's a consensus and so Broadway it is for War Horse.

Buy tickets now for mid September (Saturday night or Sunday matinee) or wait to buy from TKTS booth?
I can get front row tickets... not everyones first choice I know but I think we'll have more legroom and DH is 6' 4" so maybe a good choice. Any further suggestions welcomed.

sassy, if price is a consideration, then I'd wait for a future discount offer for your dates )probably available mid to late July). On the other hand, if your husband's comfort is an important consideration, then get those tickets now! As for TKTS, it's not a certainty that Saturday night tickets would be available there.
cpg, I didn't mean for my comment to be a response to you specifically!

sassy cat, I know for sure that the Lincoln Center Atrium box office sells same day War Horse tix at 25% off. I follow their twitter feed and the discount is pretty much offered daily including most Sat/Sun: http://twitter.com/#!/LCAtrium

Here's more about the LC Atrium discount tix booth:

(Tickets go on sale at 12noon)

Howard and yk, thanks for the further advice.

I'm leaning towards buying in advance for the extra legroom, the convenience of online purchase and the peace of mind that we'll have seats even though @25% off we could save about $100 on 3 tickets.
This will probably be the only Broadway show we see this year.
