From what I saw, there were two different shirts with text on them and a poster that was basically the playbill design.

I apologize for asking about seating but I bought my tickets a few weeks ago and best I could do other than premium was Orch Row O. After I purchased, I saw that scalpers had bought up TONS of seats (at least for the June dates I was looking at, though I suspect same is true for the entire run) so while I’m thrilled for the show, I hate to see the scalpers win.

If anyone would care to make me feel ok about sitting way back in Row O, please do . Haven’t been to the Booth. If I won’t be able to appreciate it from back there I might consider trying to exchange for premium but it would be very rough on the budget. All opinions appreciated! "

I sat in the last row of the center mezzanine. I definitely think the experience would have been even more amazing if I were closer, but it's a small theater and I feel like even the side seats would have good views. There was a tall person in front of me blocking a portion of the center downstairs section (why did they put the seats directly behind each other?), but nothing important happened there 98% of the time, and I could lean forward a bit because I was in the back. 

As for the stage door (for anyone who's wondering), of course there were a lot of people there. They let people line up past where the barricades ended as long as they stayed behind the line. Maybe they'll get more for future shows? All of the actors came out and most of them kindly stopped to take pictures. All the Broadway debuts were very unfamiliar with the stage door process and their castmates playfully made fun of them to us when they found out. They had a photographer taking photos to document the first preview (I assume), so maybe the pictures will be released. 

I'm excited to hear this! I'm seeing them on an upcoming stop, and I'm nervous about my seat/view (don't know if "nervous" is quite the right word, but the seat's all the way off to the side) but still very excited.

Shoba was a swing in Great Comet, but she also understudied Natasha. From what I've seen of her online, she's wonderful, and I'm definitely looking forward to seeing her perform.

I saw a Sunday matinee a few months ago and I'd say most of the cast came out. I think all the leads did except Adam, but he seems pretty hit or miss with coming out anyway. Have fun!

Thank you so much! The "W" in 11 definitely looks like Cathryn's, anyway. Number 5 was definitely just me looking at the cast list and trying to match things up since it looked like an A and O -- I haven't seen his signature anywhere for comparison. I brought my mom to the show and asked to see her version, and it looks different on hers, but not enough to help. My only other guess would be Ani.

Here's the pic she sent me (We weren't next to each other, but she met Pearl and I met Gelsey, but not the other way around somehow) :

I've made a lot of progress in the past couple months trying to identify who signed my playbill when I went to see Great Comet in May. I didn't know much about the show when I watched it, but it grew to be my current favorite. At this point, I thought it would be a good goal to figure it out while the show is still open. Can anyone help me out with these? Or let me know if I'm wrong? Or maybe it will help someone else. Either way!
