"Great point. The anger they are going to receive over the Winter if they have to cancel even one show will be highly likely and very ugly."
Especially since for me (like many I assume) this is the one ticket I have left from pre-Covid since The Music Man never canceled, just postponed. It is certainly the only reason I am making this trip to New York in January. But I understand that things happen.

Coronavirus: The Spring Season Scene Stealer

I had the same sort of thinking in booking a hotel for my April trip. I was booked for a so-so hotel, and decided to switch to more of a luxury hotel. If something happens and I get quarantined in my hotel room while there, I’d rather be somewhere a bit nicer!"
And I had just canceled my luxury hotel and committed to my much cheaper hotel (but one I know and like) for April when we start to really hear the US concerns.

I'm also interested in this show and I'm keeping an eye out for when individual tickets go on sale, since it opens during my trip to New York.

Hercules was on the Muny audience survey this summer in St. Louis. Back when they were putting together Newsies Disney Theatrical asked the Muny to put it on the survey to see if there was any interest in the show (Newsies won the fan survey).

According to the article I found Tesori is composing the opera Grounded and the other female composer the Met commissioned, Missy Mazzoli, is working on Lincoln in the Bardo.

When I was heading back to my seat from the accessible restroom at Hadestown there was a man blocking the path talking with his friend. I politely asked to go by and they moved to the side. And that's when I saw that one of them was Taye Diggs. I'm not from New York but I kept it New York cool on the outside, however I was St. Louis not cool on the inside.

Shuffle Along - What happened?

I was supposed to see it in early previews but I believe the show I was going to see was one of the first of the run of cancelled previews. Sounds like I may have lucked out if the show was still a mess at that point.

Hillary and Clinton Vs. Constitution

I saw both on my recent trip to New York and I agree with the consensus here that Constitution is the way to go. I enjoyed Hillary and Clinton, particularly the acting, but Constitution is so very powerful and out of the ordinary. It just can't be missed.

I just said that I had trouble with stairs and asked if they had an accessible bathroom and they pointed me to it, so I think it should be no problem.

So is it okay for audience members to sing along during musicals?
May 16

No. It is letting your enjoyment take precedence over the enjoyment of everyone else around you.
I was seeing Dreamgirls at The Muny in St. Louis, which is a unique situation because it is a large outdoor theater but it is still a theater. And Jennifer Holliday was reprising the role of Effie White for the last time. And while she was probably too old to be playing Effie still, man could she sing. But the woman next to me sung along the WHOLE time, dampening my enjoyment of watching th

OCTET at Signature Theatre
May 2

^ No instruments. And technically acapella, but not like Pitch Perfect or In Transit - Malloy defines it as a "Chamber Choir musical""
So they are not attempting to mimic or replace the sounds of instruments like a Pitch Perfect or In Transit.
I'm looking forward to attending in June.
