If I had medical issues I wouldn't be returning to theaters next month. Especially not if vaccination and mask rules have been removed. Those rules allowed safer experiences for the immunocompromised at that time than no rules will in a month's time 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going soon to the Met Opera, Theater and Opera again and intend to wear masks thru out as rules state. Better being safe then sorry. Had a friend in Met this weekend and not fully filled stiill. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the Met we will be going to the Grand Tier in the Opera House and know if others it will be safe and well spaced. In our neighborhood we are going to restaurants that we are sure and comfortable. I seafood restaurant many times with reliability as well as a Italian restaurant the same. There is a Steakhouse haven't been back due to since February 2020 due to feedback and also it's small. They haven't returned to their past hours opened which use to create a filled house. Don't know why just 4PM till closing. Sorry they aren't for Lunch. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

George C Posted March 27, 2022 Author #1309 Share Posted March 27, 2022 Just read “girl from the north country “ is returning to broadway in April, hopefully will plan our trip shortly, waiting for a date for a memorial for one of my wife’s cousins who passed from Covid last year. Can’t believe we have not been to New York since 2019, had never missed a year since moving 40 years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But one was a square peg and the other was a round hole. Would love to see it as a straight play and fleshed out some more. And the music as a concert. We are heading back one weekend this month (TBD) and for Memorial Day. After that we may not be back for awhile. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We saw two shows last Saturday, great tickets for both at TKTS. 3rd row towards the middle corner at Circle in the Square for American Buffalo (good show) and 7th row near the middle for How I Learned to Drive (excellent show but very difficult subject matter). As long as crowds are still kind of weak for B'way we will keep going to TKTS. Otherwise, use theatermania, playbill or broadway box for their discount offers, or buy from the official seller. Ticketmaster is the official seller for just a few shows, so is Telecharge, but most Ticketmaster theaters switched to Seatgeek, which is not as good a site to use but it fully legit 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was this the first time you saw the play ? If not,how would you compare the acting of Sam Rockwell to others who portrayed the same character ?

It was the first time we've seen this play, but not our first time seeing Sam. We've seen him probably a half dozen times on stage. Even got to talk to him for awhile after a NY production a few years ago. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
