If you’re looking for ways to make an enticing event, much of the information you find online speaks to a very technical side of the whole ordeal. From ticketing pricing tiers and tactics, gamifying giveaways and promotions, to the fact that you should promote your event on social media (this should be obvious…do it…I shouldn’t have to tell you this). These are of course important things to think about when you are engaging your audience and these take some trial and error to get right for your particular audience.
I had a sneaking suspicion when Harry Potter and the Cursed Child made its long-awaited entrance to Broadway it would do so with flair. The same goes for a staple in theatre’s history, Angels in America, led by the legendary Nathan Lane and definition-of-versatile actor, Andrew Garfield. These plays, though they are different in content and presentation, and will be considered for the “best” award in different categories, are slated to win big at the June 10th Tony Award celebration, Harry Potter with 10 nominations and Angels in America with 11.
Years ago, I was the Musical Director for a show where a young artist was unable to come to the auditions, just the callbacks. The Director and I gave her a time right before the callbacks began and then had her read for one of the roles. She was solid, but not the best possible option, so we slated her for a feature/ensemble role. During our casting session, the Producer begged us to give this artist the lead. Begged. Her reasoning?
I have to admit – I love going to shows. I like to see live music, theatre, musicals, circus stuff, sometimes gallery things, live events…pretty much anything that sounds interesting to me that I am free to attend I try to see. One thing I struggle with is comp tickets.
