This includes zero vacation days - I wonder if he has a trip coming up soon? He’d probably want to vacation with Eva, but it could be tricky having them both out at the same time. Although, Mean Girls has given Erika

Graduating college in May having trouble picking a show

Hadestown is a must-see. I recommend trying to find cheap center mezzanine tickets close to the front, since the theater is pretty small and there is a fair bit of action above the stage. If you're going alone however, I highly recommend trying to snag a front row seat. The lights during Wait For Me will swing over your head and the experience is so much more heightened than if you were in the center mezz. I originally bought tickets for the second row of the center mezz and got luck

Yes. When Howard McGillan (sp?) took over the role of Uncle Archie in the original Broadway run of THE SECRET GARDEN (replacing Mandy Patinkin) his songs were brought up to accommodate his voice."
If I'm not mistaken, when Timothy Hughes went on for Hades in December,

Frozen Tickets

I agree, I don’t think the fact that it’s a holiday is affecting the prices/availability nearly as much as the fact that February 16th is the last show for the 2 faces of Frozen, Caissie Levy and Patti Murin, as well Joe Carroll’s last show, who plays Hans.

I’m not surprised. The new songs from the musical were written for the plot of Frozen. While they’re amazing, it wouldn’t make sense to stick them in Frozen 2 because the plots are very different. Although, I think it would be kinda cool if maybe they used some instrumentals from the musical as a sort of tribute du

Frozen replacements

As much as I would love to see Christy Altomare play Anna, I think there is a pretty good chance the standbys for Caissie and Patti, Alyssa Fox and Aisha Jackson, are gonna end up taking over the roles. While I haven't seen either of them perform, I've heard great things about both and Disney might not want to search too hard for newer actresses considering the Frozen creative team is busy trying to cast the West End version and getting ready for the North American Tour.

Frozen Sunday matinee stage door?

I know for a fact Patti has stage doored at least once or twice sometime this year, not sure about Caissie. However, they both rarely stage door in general. Everyone else is more of a hit or miss type situation. In fact, I would expect all leads to stage door except

Telecharge or Box Office
Jun 2

If you want cheaper tickets you'd either have to go on a site like TKTS or StubHub or go to the box office right when it opens to get rush tickets for an average of $40ish. But if you wanna do rush, you need get there before it opens otherwise the rush ticket's will have been bought already. Depending on the show, if the box office opens at 10 am, you could show up right at 10 or after, 9, 8, or even earlier.

Next Jenna in Waitress

WestEndGal said: "magictodo123 said: "Samantha Barks is leaving Pretty Woman. Could she be coming in, Shoshana will be out and Stephanie Torns will do a short stint until she comes in?"
Depends whether Samantha wants to go from the original lead in Pretty Womanto what will now be the 7th Jenna (not counting understudies) in Waitress! Also from the show perspective I don’t think Samantha is really a name that will bring the general public in, but I guess it depends on who they’re looking for.
"
Waitress has been relying on big names and/or stunt casts for months now, so I wouldn't expect them to bring in anyone who isn't well-known. At this point, the only reason Waitress is still open is because people come to see the big names. If they can't find another big name for Jenna or convince a previous Broadway Jenna to return (like they've been doing with the Dr. Pomatters), I would expect them to close soon unfortunately

I’d pay regular price for a mini-Hair reunion like that."
I have been wanting Caissie to play Jenna for MONTHS, but because she did confirm she was staying in Frozen until February 2020, it unfortunately won't happen anytime soon. I'm definitely hoping for Waitress to be her next project
