*gulp* $588-882?!  Is that just for the ticket, or is that some special "deluxe package" that includes a 1-hour escorting session with the cast member of your choice??

It's just for the opportunity to see Jesse's special "deluxe package" live and in person.

You're pulling info from a ticket reseller.  Those aren't face value.

Ticketmaster/Telecharge are where you usually buy on Broadway.

Second Stage is a smaller company, so they do things in-house.

Take Me Out was on the half-price booth today. Probably balcony seats, but the folks who can buy from scalping agents don't know or care.

It was also on TDF and the seating was scattered through the back half of the floor.

People who buy from scalpers without first exploring their options are fools.

That’s one way to increase ticket sales!

 

@CheckCar, Thanks for sharing this video. That scene was a turning point in the plot. Q. Since mobile devices are put into a locked pouch so the audience can’t record, how were you able to do this? 🤔

Here's an article on the incident:

My guess is that the photo will cause an increase in attendance at Take Me Out.

The cynic in me would say that the video was leaked purposefully

I saw Jack O’Connell fully naked in a shower scene and some other scenes in Cat on a Hot Tin Roof in 2017 in London.  He has quite an impressive schlong.  At one point he was sitting naked on the stage floor 20 feet away from me with his legs spread open.  It was quite distracting.  He’s very attractive clothed let alone naked.  I think a lot of this is done for titillation value and ticket sales.

I believe Kris Jenner was behind the leak of the tape.  After all, she's done it before!

First of all, the photos and video can't be compared to seeing the show live and in person (especially from the second row).  Secondly, despite the precautions taken by the theater and given the state of technology, this was not entirely unexpected.  I do recall that a series of photos were out there for the original production at the Public Theater in 2002 that looked like they were taken by a professional photographer. These photos showed the cast in several scenes including the shower scenes.  Of course the cast members at that time weren't well known and our phones weren't also cameras.

Try this: attend the well-written play performed live in a theatre, by a great cast of actors. See the play. Spoiler: The clothes come off when it’s part of the story.

Full frontal on stage is usually about vulnerability. The scene is set in a shower, where nudity happens all the time. Dicks out is the norm in that room. 
Eyes up here, pal…😏

They have installed an infrared system to look for phone users:

Twitter has had 503,000 views of the leaked video, and the box office phones have a  45 minute wait!

Is it true that the camera angle made Jesse look bigger?

[leeper]

The camera angle has nothing to do with it!

Jesse Williams and Jesse Tyler Furguson on Watch What Happened (Andy Cohen).

I  had never seen Jesse Williams on TV until now. Very sexy man in a low-key way. And I have always liked JTF.

So a real treat.

Andy Cohen talked about his new daughter named Lucy. Enough said on Andy Cohen

That's why I am seeing the final performance, next Saturday night.

Looking to see some penis are you?

Yes! Apparently that final performance is now sold out. Maybe Ryan Phillippe is making an appearance as well.

Ryan could show his butt again!

I was lucky as a few weeks back (after the leak) they added a Friday matinee performance this past Friday so I was able to get a 3rd row dead center seat.  It was the day before the closing but everyone was still on point and did a great job!  I think it was 8 dicks total you got to see, but the performances were really good - I laughed, I cried, I drooled.  Thank god we still had to wear masks because I know I had a huge insane looking smile on my face during those shower scenes. 

I thought Jesse Tyler Ferguson (you don't see his dick) did a great job so I wasn't surprised to hear he won a Tony.  And all the boys got a new Instagram follower in me!

I saw the show a few weeks ago and thought it was better than the original one from the early 2000's. The original was 3 acts this was changed to 2 acts. The subject matter is still relevant today which is a shame. I saw the show front row ( I am member of 2nd stage). I have friends who saw the play before me and all said that Jesse Williams probably has a fluffed as he was erect in the shows that they saw. I agree that penis was at full attention! Another actor, was also fully erect also. From the angle where I was sitting you could see he was playing with himself when he was showering. Only wish the shower scenes were longer. There were so many naked men at the same time, I didn't know which guy to look at the most!

[+ Lucky]

I wonder how many in the audience were fully erect.

@WilliamM How was your performance?

Since I have space left, I will mention that years ago I saw a play where the scene opened with a young Jude Law in a bathtub. He causally got up, full frontal, and slowly proceeded to dry himself. I was with family so I tried to stay calm.
