I’m desperately hoping to see this when I get to NY on January 2, which would require a three-week extension. Does anyone know if CSC generally builds extensions into their schedule and contracts? I have to assume with this cast an extension through the holidays is a possibility, and their next show (Marcel on the Train) is listed as February-March. 

Anything for Liberation or Little Bear Ridge Road? Surprised that Roundabout isn’t offering subscribers any break on Liberation tix.

Just in Time isn’t at the Winter Garden. 

FYI YouTube has started sending out copyright takedown notices from the LA Phil. My JCS videos will be gone in a few days and presumably others will too, so if anyone wants to save anything this would be a good time to download.

See my vids at #80 and schubox’s at #86. 

JoseLee_ said: "What type of merch did they sell? Where there posters or souvenir programs (other than the one the Hollywood Bowl gives out)???"

No posters or souvenir programs that I saw. They had caps and sweatshirts with the angels logo from the brown album, and tees (short- and long-sleeved) that included Erivo’s and Lambert’s names, Hollywood Bowl, and I think the dates. 

I've seen every just about every summer musical at the Bowl since they started doing them, and this was far and away the best they've ever done. I was privileged to be invited by friends with a Pool Circle box (between the stage and the passerelle), and we were all absolutely blown away by this performance, particularly for a first night. Cynthia Erivo's "Gethsemane" was breathtaking, and from up close I could see her tears...and a beautiful moment when Adam Lambert wiped them away just before the Judas kiss. She brought a fragility to Jesus that I hadn't seen before and that deepened the emotional impact of the entire show. Lambert, Phillipa Soo, Raul Esparza, and Tyrone Huntley (as Simon) were all in outstanding voice and perfectly cast. If there was a weak spot, it was John Stamos, who can certainly be forgiven having stepped in a couple of days ago. Sergio Trujillo's direction and choreography were dynamic, energetic, and made outstanding use of the huge Bowl stage. And the band and 37-piece orchestra made that score sound better than I've ever heard it. I'm going to hit StubHub to see if I can get a ticket to go back tomorrow or Sunday, but wow what a wonderful theatrical experience this was.

I did manage to capture some video, so enjoy!

How long is the run?

And any IOU I owe, you owe

I’ve seen all the nominees and honestly, other than Sunset Blvd., there hasn’t been a single performance yet that hasn’t had me wondering why they made THAT choice. Maybe Happy Ending, Just in Time, and Pirates in particular could have done so much better.

It’s ridiculous that they’re considered “minor” awards. But more than anything, I wish Celia and Harvey’s speeches could have been in primetime. As many people as possible need to hear them. 

I was at today’s matinee, the first performance after Tony nominations. Jasmine Amy Rogers received a standing ovation after “Something to Shout About” that must have gone on for at least three full minutes. She was repeatedly overcome with emotion, visibly crying (which just caused the audience response to surge again), and sinking down until she ended up kneeling on the stage. Jerry Mitchell came out during the curtain call to announce the nominations (video below). All in all, a very special performance, and a happy coincidence that I booked tickets weeks ago for today as part of this trip.

Five acting noms for Purpose but nothing for Rashad’s direction is just weird. 

Glengarry shut out except for Odenkirk. Othello and Old Friends shut out completely. Surprised that Mincemeat missed for direction, and super bummed about Helen J Shen. 

Megan Hilty and Jennifer Simard doing "Confrontation" from Les Mis was the clear highlight for me.

Thanks. :)"

MHEFAN is now good for performances through September 7.
