- Unless I just never noticed it before, at the beginning of Eleven Days, ensemble members got to shout out various lines like "what you drinking' baby girl?"

It was disappointing there was no curtain call speech. With so many producers surely one could have said some words about this fantastic, groundbreaking show? Or David Byrne?"

Actually yes I did notice at least one unscripted part of that song. One of the men

(Is that line even in the musical? I never got to see it live)."

My money is on her being the French teacher on the first day of school as an ode to the Emily in Paris fandom. 

I'm super curious on Kevin G. casting. Back when Tina had her little fancast subm

Side note for anyone seeing an upcoming tour stop: I highly recommend stage dooring!In total there were probably about 10-12 of us waiting after the show. The cast was SO nice and actually spent time talking to everyone. They even said this was the largest stage door they have seen on the tour (which is kind of sad because there wasn’t that many of us), an

Its MissNorbury that does the distracting on tour. Saying they are all afraid of her since she was arrested for drugs."

YES! So they completely skip over the scene o

I FINALLY started getting to see touring productions this year. I saw Rent and Miss Saigon in July, and Phantom of the Opera in September. I was most impressed with Phantom - that set is HUGE and it was a wonder to me how they could fit it all on that stage! Everything about it was superb. 

Rent looked pretty standard. I LOVED the cast's personalities but that's probably because it was a very young cast - many of them fresh out of college or some even still in college.

Miss Saigon helped me to be more proud of my Asian (specifically Filipino) heritage. My great-grandparents left the Philippines after World War II for a better life, and so there are certain similarities in the stories that I can really identify with. This show also propelled my passion for theatre. I followed the West End revival and Broadway revival religiously, and finally when the tour happened, I made it a point to finally travel across the ocean and see it in LA (along with Rent), and t

I get frustrated too. Although I’m just a community theater actor, I myself get absolutely peeved when I see a phone screen in the audience trying to snapchat a 10-second video of their friend, when I’m trying to focus on my role. But you know what I don’t notice? Our director recording the whole

Tbh I have not yet seen the entirety of Wicked yet, but it seems like one of those roles that usually has an alternate, ie. vocally and emotionally demanding roles where that character almost never leaves the stage (Evita, Kim in Miss Saigon, Evan Hansen, Alexander Hamilton, I’ve even read of UK Legally Blonde productions having an Elle alternate). They always have an Elphaba (and Glinda) standby - might as well be an alternate? 

My view could be totally off of course, s

I have no problem with bootlegs and most here that do are on youtube watching them ...

Why would you assume that people are watcbing them? Not everyone has this need to watch a show whenever they want if they can't afford it. Never assume anything like that. They may pop up when I'm look
