Changing the topic for a second, can anyone tell me if I can buy front-row tickets ONLINE for the Sharon, or would I have to line up at the box office? (Specifically, I'm interested in the Willie Nelson tickets which go on sale January 27 for his March 8 concert).

I am pretty certain that you can...however, you are better off getting your tickets at one of the box offices, less expensive for one, plus you can instantly see which seats are available first hand.
Saddlebrook Rec, Sumter Landing, Brownwood, Spanish Springs..plus ya get some fresh air and excercise (walking) as a bonus.

Thankyou Photo Sq. I see there is a "web" ticket charge of $9.00 per couple.
From looking at the online system, there is a place to ask for "best available seats".
If seats go on sale for Willie Nelson at 1 AM on Jan. 27, it might be worth booking online for really good seats.
Although I honestly don't know where a really good seat would be at The Sharon since I haven't been there yet.

You can pick your seats online and if it's a big selling act it's worth spending $4.50 ea to be sure of getting what you want.

Your Welcome.. At a guess I don't think for a moment that their will be a stampede for tickets to watch Ole Willie. As for good seats I have been to The Sharon twice and my advice is upstairs to the right about 15' from the aisle that separates the lower section from the upper.
Also don't get fooled into sitting in the lower section. Now a big treat is the bar the drinks are reasonable and they come with complimentary cheese,crackers,olives..nice touch. Most of the men wore trousers.. ahem most..men take note. And " All " of the ladies showed up looking lovely. Which I must say is typical. Hope this helps you.

Kind of like Scorsese's Taxi Driver I'd like to think the ending was literal.

Everything but the ending seemed real. The ending is that he is funny on tv, gets a light sentence, released early, writes a successful book and comes off as a genius kidnapping Lewis to get on the stage.

Throughout the rest of the movie he is a loser with no redeeming qualities. Di Nero is nothing like himself. Lewis plays himself.

I forgot how taxi driver ended. I do remember there was nothing like it before that I had ever seen. It also seemed pretty real to me from start to finish.

I do appreciate you finding the movie and giving us the link. Scorsese is a great director and if you find any other films on youtube I would be grateful if you passed it on.

It was unique comedy to the Catskills and anyone from New York City in the 1940 to 1960's would remember this. There was Monticello, Liberty, Fallsburg, Hurleyville, Woodburne Lock Sheldrake, as some of the Towns and Villages where the Hotels were. A number of the comedians, bands entertainer's of those days started in the Catskills. I am sure a lot of people from New York remember this great period of the Catskills. Jerry Lewis was always associated with the Brown's Hotel.

We use to hold regional meetings at Grossinger or the Concord. The drive from Liberty to Binghamton ( route 17) was magnificent I believe it was designated one of the most scenic highways in America

I do think the tickets for Willie Nelson will sell out quickly, but I've been wrong countless times in the past.
I am most appreciate of your seating advice.
You said "don't get fooled into sitting in the lower section" and that's precisely what we were planning to do.

It appears that there are four sections at The Sharon, the "front stage" area; plus the Orchestra, Mezzanine and Balcony sections.
Each of those three sections appears to be divided into middle, right and left sections.
By "upstairs to the right", do you mean the far-right side of the Mezzanine or Balcony?
Again, your advice is much appreciated.

Glad to help. The Mezzanine..You have the Center Mezzanine, Left, and Right. I would go for Left or Right Row " N " 6 seats Lt and Rt unobstructed views. The Center in the Middle 8 unobstructed views.
After that if you are unable to get those go for Left or Right P, Q, R, on the aisle side of each. NOT.. the exit aisle sides. Looking at the site the aisle's where the letters are for each row. Another handy item would be small binoculars not really necessary but...why not. Again hope this helps, the center Orchestra the sound is not as good there. Hope you and yours have a terrific time. The Sharon is really nice, touch of class.
