Well, you've read the notes, the notes spoke of number one, and now it is time for you to post until the number one cows come home.

Vibes for a bigger crowd at the next Group show, and glad it went so well last night!

"Ask Bk question":  Is the bigger issue how much money this type of  show makes, or having a full house?  (example:  When doing a show at NYMF, filling the house is not usually about the gross, since every show loses money, it's to get buzz for the show.)

I read somewhere years ago that when people see empty seats, subliminally they think something weird like who are these people who didn't bother to come. It's kind of a corollary to when people pick up their belongings and walk out at intermission, often feeling the need to say something audible about why they're leaving for some reason.   Strangely, it's often the freebies who were offered tickets especially to make the event look more popular than it is; and then, they openly crap of the show.

I can answer that.  It's to make raise money for the theatre, a full (paying) house being important to that.
Of course bringing in new audiences for the theatre is a benefit, long term.

Seeing Kay Cole perform "What I did for Love" was very special.  I had to go back listen/watch on YouTube to her doing it over 30 years ago.  What a voice, and she is super  tiny.  She still has so much heart and soul.  That my daughter got to sing "One" with her and the rest of the cast was simply, pretty magical.

Thanks!  So that means papering is not a reasonable option

They paper like crazy in NY; they'd rather give industry folks free tickets, than sell at a deep discount. "Everybody"  seems to imagine they're building word of mouth for a tour or later life of the show. 

But on Broadway at least, I hear that has something to do with the "average ticket price" which has become so important in all the reporting, even the real papers. My guess: - if it's low-price, it lowers the average, it it's free, I guess it doesn't count at all???

That's wonderful.  At times, I think BK is so busy dealing with people throwing conflicts, he doesn't realize himself what he makes happen adds to the arts, including the future generations!

Crap. Five hours sleep. I might try for a nap later, which sometimes succeeds, sometimes doesn't.

But last night's first tech/dress rehearsal was fun, if a long one. More tonight.

Crap, let's try for a nap! - sounds almost like potential for a Dr. Seuss for real life.

I slept later than intended.  I had a dream that BK was recording an NYU student production of Bernstein's Candide, conducted by John Mauceri.  Since I am not a fan of the maestro, I was surprised how well behaved he was in the dream.  I remember two things vivdly from the dream: a huge table of Italian food for everyone and Mauceri leaving the session because he had other commitments.

I think they are open to everyone, but they used to have an annual fee that went to the papering company, not to the show.  I used to use "Audience Extras" and "Play by Play" years ago.  But you have no say where you sit, which some folks coming in from out of the City might really not like after all the effort getting to Manhattan.

DR vixmom, I wish you'd known about the glasses earlier, too!  The cosy pretty much wiped out what was left of my income from the past three months.  I'm getting anxious because those property taxes are due in two months and I don't know how I'll pay them.  On the other hand, thanks to that income, I've paid off every debt and obligation hanging over my head since last August.  I just don't want to live through all that again.

Annabelle's antsy to patrol.  After that, I need to tidy - always a constant with three active cats - and try to break this cage down, finish filling out my senior citizens rent reduction application, and proofread two Moross scores for my copyist Scott.
