Mezzanine Theater Diary 4+

Incredible. Almost addicting, even, to scroll through others’ reviews and your own confirmation emails to find what shows you’ve seen. Five minor gripes and suggestions: Would love to be able to add custom pronouns other than he/him, she/her, or they/them. At least there are options I guess… Would love to be able to scroll through photos if there are multiple on others’ review instead of having to exit the photo and then pick the next. It would also be great if we could add actual DIARY entries about theatre, other than shows that you’ve watched. For example, I could write an entry for today, Sat. Sept. 30, and say, “Today I bought tickets for x and x. I’m so excited to see them! Also, x tour is coming to my town, so I’m going to see that too!”. That would really take the app to another level. Another thing would be the ability to add a bio to your profile. This would honestly just be nice and fun. Lastly, I’d love to be able to mark someone else’ review with something like “I Agree” and “I Don’t Agree”. Thank you for this lovely app! :)

I have been using the Mezzanine app for a year or two, and it’s totally changed how I track shows. I suggest it to anyone I know who sees more than 2 shows a year!

My only wishes for the app are bulk tagging and more automated information. For example, for bulk tagging, I just created new tags called “Musical” and “Play”, and I’d love to be able to apply that tag to a bunch of shows at once rather than go through my entire profile. It would also be great if that were just autopopulated, like locations, or had the stars tagged or things like that (for the major productions, that is). Not sure if either of these are possible but it would add so much value to an app I love so much!

This is such an easy way to keep track of shows I’ve seen, and not just on Broadway or in the West End! It’s super easy to add custom shows, so even that black box in Atlanta or second National Tour in Colorado can get a diary entry. Perfect for jotting down notes on shows, recording seat location (which is so helpful when booking future shows) and rating what you see! Also a huge fan of the map feature to see all of the places I’ve seen shows and a handy graph to see how this year stacks up against others. Warning: this app is addictive, in the best way, so once you start adding shows you’ll want to go back and record everything you’ve seen!
