    This show was sooooo good! The cast was amazing in how they played multiple roles of islanders or plane people. The power of their voices throughout the musical was strong. The band was great too, appreciated their "screech off" at the end. We got tickets from the TKTS booth and ended up 5 rows from the stage just a bit to the right. Great seats, we missed nothing. The set was well done and how the cast used the different chairs and arrangements was cool. I'd highly recommend this show on Broadway (before it ends on October 2nd!) or if it comes to a theater near you. We knew the premise a bit but were blown away and Come From Away exceeded all expectations. I've been listening to the soundtrack ever since (& a lot of the cast is the same).

    Easily in my top five favorite Broadway shows I've ever seen! I came in to the show with absolutely zero knowledge of the background of the plot. This is an interesting story regarding a small town (Gander, Newfoundland) during September 11, 2001. There's only a dozen actors, but each one plays several different roles perfectly. I was amazed at how well they could make you feel many emotions. You will laugh, smile, and cry all throughout this perfect performance! The orchestra is also solid. They do a good job of bringing the energy to the show. Overall, I was so impressed at how amazing this show was. Even sitting in the mezzanine, do you have a great view of the stage that is unobstructed. The theater itself is extremely beautiful and well-built. Acoustically it really helps make the show come to life. Go to the show. Do not skip this if you have the opportunity. You will absolutely not regret it, and you will experience one of the best performances of your life!

    Seen CFA on Christmas day and it was definitely a great way to spend the holiday. It wasn't the best show I've seen or even 1 of my favorites but I highly enjoyed it. The music and cast was amazing. There weren't many shows playing Christmas day and the ones that were playing I've seen except this 1 so I purchased tickets. I sat orchestra left and had a great view of the stage. The show is 1 hour and 40 minutes long with no intermission and went by pretty quickly. I bought a drink, some snacks, and had a great time. It was a great Christmas.

    Five stars for sure!!! Such an enjoyable and delightful performance. Very moving and powerful! If you are visiting NYC, try to pair it with the 911 memorial museum and one world trade observatory in the same day. You will get a full sense and journey of the day 911. There are very limited cast that perform multiple characters. But they are all standout and very all rounded. Scenes are simple but to the point. Applaud to whoever setup the scenes!!

    What a performance. If you have any time at all, go see this show. The premise: when 9/11 happened, incoming flights to the US were diverted to Canada, to clear US airspace ASAP. Some flights landed in Gander, Newfoundland. A small town of less than 10,000 people suddenly had to accommodate an influx of 7000 passengers. - For more info, google "Operation Yellow Ribbon" - 12 cast members, 6 band members, no orchestra - 1hr40min, no intermission - The cast had to switch between multiple characters throughout the show and I loved how the accents switched too - What's different to other shows is that as the characters speak, the music continues in the background. At first it made hearing the dialogue a bit difficult. - Since it deals with quite heavy subject matter, there were bits of humor sprinkled here and there - At one point a woman was openly weeping behind me - Some band members joined the cast onstage during a couple of songs. That was fun to see. - Standing ovation at the end - After the cast took their bow, the whole band came out and jammed together for about 10 minutes. The audience was on their feet and it was a fantastic way to end the show. You hear about 9/11 a lot. The people who lost their lives. The family/friends related to those people. But what you don't hear as often is about those whose lives were impacted outside of that particular group. These Canadians from a small town offered everything they could to help. This incident had nothing to do with them. Yet they still created a safe haven for those who were momentary displaced. Faith in humanity restored indeed.

    This is absolutely my favorite broadway show. I saw it for the first time in 2019 when I visited the city and I saw it another 3 times after I moved here and Broadway opened again post covid. The story and the characters and music are so beautiful. (I also read the book which wasn't told quite as well but still nice to read). I'm always so impressed how the characters seamlessly transition between characters, costumes, and accent while almost always being on the stage. There's such a good balance between heart wrenching real life stories and also humor. I went to the show for the closing weekend in October and got to meet Jen Colella (original cast pilot), Beverly Bass (actual pilot), and several others. I sobbed during the entire show and sobbed when I got to meet them. I was so so sad that the show closed but will have to settle for watching it on Apple TV!

    Neat set with the trees.

    Such a delightful show about such a dark subject. The artists do a really nice job of telling several stories with a common theme and making them make sense. The kids were fascinated that the actors all played so many different roles. It was amazing how the turn of a phrase and voice mixed with a hat helped turn the actors into different people. The band on stage was a rare treat. They really did a nice job of being part of the show. At our show, they even stayed for an extra craic for the audience. Amazing. I had listened to the soundtrack but it was cool to see the staging and how they wove together all the stories.

    I can write many reasons to see Hamilton, the Broadway musical…read more 1. The lyrics resonates depth with meaning. 2. The music is a blend that draws heavily of hip-hop, rap, R&B, soul, pop, and traditional Broadway show tunes. Modernized to 2015 era. Theatre patrons will not fall asleep. Theatre patrons will not be bored. Your ticket price paid is worth the theatrical experience. 3. It is based on the biography Alexander Hamilton, one of the Founding Fathers of the United States who was an instrumental supporter of the U.S. Constitution who fought alongside President George Washington in the Revolutionary War. His work laid the foundation of America whose face is worthy to be depicted on the U.S. $10.00 bill. 4. It depicts history of Hamilton's journey beginning as a Caribbean immigrant rising to America's first Secretary of the Treasury. It is deeply rooted in New York City history. It depicts American history of the opposition fight for independence and creation Independence of United States of America. He is buried in Trinity Church, Financial District, Lower Manhattan, NYC. It also narrates Aaron Burr's rivalry and jealously Hamilton's strong ambition, brilliance, and determination to rise. "Hamilton wrote the other 51!" Running time: about 2 hours and 45 minutes including a 15 minute intermission. I went to the room where it happens. I write this review like I was running out of time. Yesterday is a memory. Today is an opportunity. Tomorrow is not promised. Non-stop. Keep writing! I tell my story of my experience. It was exciting, lively and upbeat which does takes you back in time of Revolutionary America in 18th century period clothing with modern language and modern music. Ticket prices are highly extortionate! Tickets starts $127.00 to $155.00 for upper balcony or standard face-value seats. My rear orchestra center ticket was an astonishing extortionate $228.00! Hamilton, the Broadway musical makes use of the Richard Rodgers Theatre's double-nested rotating stage (turntables) prominently to create a dynamic, continuous movement and cinematic flow. I wish I saw the 2015 original cast Alexander Hamilton (Lin-Manuel Miranda) and Aaron Burr (Leslie Odom Jr.). Wait for it. Forward, eleven (11) years later I am now seeing it in 2026. I now have another Playbill and Broadway show ticket to add to my growing Playbill collection. Casting is non-white actors as the Founding Fathers of the United States and other historical figures for inclusion and equality. As per Lin-Manuel Miranda, songwriter, actor, and producer who described Hamilton: "America then, as told by America now." There is no traditional stage curtain for this Broadway show, but it did start and end on time - on point. There are 34 musical numbers total (17 musical numbers in each Act). The narrative is almost entirely sung and rapped through, thus, the numbers flow directly into each other without the traditional pause to segue in-between numbers. There is very little dialogue for spoken word as I would like a mix. There are occasional expletive explicit laden lyrical lines/ verses depicting strong explicit language "goddamnit." This includes uncensored F-word during the indiscretion of Hamilton's affair. "Cabinet Battle #1" & "Cabinet Battle #2" feature insults and harsher colloquial terms as "pain in the ass" and "shit." There are other numbers where expletive explicit laden lyrical embedded are "bastard" and "whore." Surely, my teddy bears speak more eloquently than thee! The costumes replicate 18th century Revolutionary era including U.S. founding fathers in white linen or lace cravats. My predilection for Hamilton musical numbers are: Satisfied Wait For It That Would Be Enough Yorktown (The World Turned Upside Down) Who Lives, Who Dies, Who Tells Your Story Live with intention. My passions and interests entice me to pursue more to look around. "When everyone who loves me has died" this I can absolutely relate. "Death does not discriminate. It takes and it takes and it takes. I am the one thing in life I can control. I am an original." These versus resonate depth for meaning. Rise Up!

I have always questioned to learn, to understand. Not Slytherin. Not Slytherin. I have been a Harry Potter fan since the early 2000s when the first book by J.K. Rowling was released. I absolutely refused to see a double-day / two-part play show format 5+ hours to be left hanging and return another day/time as it was originally produced, but this has changed which is my reason to see it years later in 2026. This Broadway play does not play John Williams' film score "Hedwig's Theme" as I had desirable hoped. I do believe in magic. I saw Tom Felton perform his originated role as Draco Malfoy from the film franchise. As per "New York Theatre Guide" Tom Felton reprise his role as Draco Malfoy now through January 3, 2027! Run time: 2 hours and 55 minutes, with one intermission. One word: WOW! The narrative was at first somewhat difficult to follow especially the Time-Turner Effect scenes of what exactly did Albus Potter and Scorpius Malfoy changed or prevent from occurring? The set design, staging for quickly moving set, props by swirling long robes without revealing stage hands' faces, costumes are great and resonantly brought the viewer into J.K. Rowling's Harry Potter world as an adult nineteen (19) years after J.K. Rowling's final novel, "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows" of Harry, Ron and Hermione. The special effects including character swap Polyjuice Potion, including Dementors menacing floating near the audience and aerialist stunts in duels were amazing. I particularly like the special effects from Time-Turner for use of projection mapping high-powered projectors cast warping, liquid-like visual distortions; acoustic design low-frequency sound waves and the entire set appear to bend, stretch, and ripple effect like a disturbed puddle reverberating into the auditorium. The clocks placed in the corners of the stage spun rapidly. WOW. Voldemort's half-daughter leaves "invisible" scribbles on a bookshelf to be decoded by a black light above the audience visible on the ceiling and balcony facade projected throughout the auditorium walls in an eerie shade of green which garnered a lot of oohs from the audience including myself. Hot air emitting from Scorpius' ears after he eats candy is very amusingly humorous. The narrative does include and bring back old characters as the cruel villain, apathetic Dolores Umbridge and the wailing angst Moaning Myrtle and Cedric Diggory. Moaning Myrtle's costume was not true to the book as her hair is not in pigtails and she is not wearing the Hogwarts uniform. Draco Malfoy's iconic film line: "Scared, Potter?" and Harry Potter's response "you wish" are spoken resonate an echo in this Broadway play from the film. I bought jelly beans and one chocolate frog. My chocolate frog contains Albus Dumbledore card. Yes, there is contained fire, and water tank underneath the stage.

We take a yearly trip to NYC, so he always signs up. This year, we scored and got tickets. We actually signed up for two days and got into both. Mon had the better guest lists (at least in our opinion) so we gave up the other tix. It's a process to get in, so nothing too surprising. The earlier you get there, the more of a chance you will sit closer. All in all, we were out by around 6:30pm.

    This was a fine experience. I'm not really a Fallon fan but the experience of watching a 'live to…read moretape' recording was pretty interested. We didn't have tickets, so we went to the gift shop at 30 rock through the 6th ave entrance to score some stand-by tickets. We arrived what I would call late, at about 11am. If you want to get these stand-by tickets I'd recommend arriving as close to 8am as you can, because every ticket is numbered and they can only fit so many people into the studio (they will always try to fill it). If I recall correctly the tickets said to come back to 30 rock at 3:15 but note - if you arrive a bit later, say 3:30, it won't effect your chances of getting in - the most you can do to increase your chances to see a show that day by walking in is to get there at 8am when they first start giving out the numbered stand-by tickets. Also, while they say you cant bring in bags, I had a smaller sized north face backpack and my friend had a large plastic bag and a small purse. If your number gets you in to see the show that day, you will pass through security like at an airport. Everything is extremely orderly and organized, the only stressful part is 'am I going to get in to see the show or did I just spend an hour and a half of my day for nothing.' My friend and I just got in under the wire, with the guy behind us being the very last person to stand-by for this day's show (there were about 56 stand-by visitors accepted that day). You will have an opportunity to use a bathroom before you sit for the filming, so don't be concerned about that. If you're a fan of TV or of Fallon you might prepare a question or two to ask him, he took a number of questions from the audience. The funniest one was 'are you going to use that entire bit you just did' because Jimmy and Drew Brees spitting pumpkin seeds went on far, far, FAR too long, about 3? minutes, which was about 2:45 longer than it needed to be. Jimmy was quick with the 'no, that's going to be edited down.'
