Let's not forget when the OG Broadway Cast of 'Ain't Too Proud' attended the Gala. No celebrity names, at that time, were attached to that cast.
If they want them there, they will get them there.

Kyle Freeman (Usher understudy) will be on through the rest of the week via his IG story.
Please note that Kyle's performance as Usher is riveting and, vocally, on point - don't let this turn you away from buying a ticket to the show.

Lottery Seating

I will be in NYC soon and am curious about lottery seating for a couple shows - MJ: The Musical, Hadestown, Tina, & Mr. Saturday Night.
I know how these work and the concept of these lottery tickets, but I'm curious where people have sat for these shows recently! Thanks!

PARADISE SQUARE reviews

I wouldn't assume it's a COVID case. She could be doing press for the show or just needs some extra rest after their opening weekend. That is the only reason why Aisha is there.
I did speak to Aisha recently, and she doesn't have a specific standby schedule (i.e. Wed. & Sat. matinees). I'm hoping this does become a thing though before I get to NYC in May!

So, is it best to get there right when the box office opens or in the middle of the day closer to showtime? Trying to see this next - I'll be in town the whole week!

Children of Eden in Chicago

This production is being produced by 'Chicagoland Theatre Fund,' which is a brand new organization with a top notch production team of Chicago's own alongside Stephen Schwartz.
This productions is under Equity contracts with only two performances, per audition notice.
They haven't announced a venue, which I believe it could be outdoors in one of these gorgeous parks in the city!
Any more news I hear, I'll definitely be letting this board

The Cher Show
Jun 18
2018, 03:38:59 PM
I believe the only way to approach the mentioning of her as a gay icon or any significant info that happens in the 90's until now is this: During the Finale (Take Me Home), there could be a vamp and that's where the three Cher's could break the fourth wall and narrate what has happened to Cher then and now. Then, they 'take it home' with one last chorus.
Just an idea, don't eat me if this is stupid!

The Cher Show

Saw the show last night. Won the lottery and they put us in the front row: So there I was, Front Row Center!
Still a 3 hour show. One of the ensemble members said they only chopped 4 minutes off the run of the show!
Concept: The concept is a little muddy in the beginning. A lot of people were very confused. Towards the end, when 'Star Cher' looks at her Mom and says, "Wait, you can see the other Chers too?" It seemed a bit campy. A couple people behind me

Hey everyone!
I'm going to be student rushing for Pretty Woman in Chicago next weekend (final show) and I didn't know what the vibe has been like at the Oriental. Is it a large crowd gathering for rush tickets in the morning?

So, there's three HUGE auditions happening on March 22nd:
Anastasia Male Singer/ECC call at 10am, Hello Dolly EPA from 10am-6pm, and Waitress ECC/Male Singer at 2pm.
I will be arriving into the city around 9:30-9:45am, and am wondering how my schedule should work. As an EMC actor, will I be able to arrive around 9:45-10am and check in to be seen for Anastasia and Hello Dolly and then check in at 2pm for Waitress . . . . I need someone to explain for me! Thanks! :)
