Many are stranded. Due to the travel ban, those who are currently there are going to need to head home soon unless they are planning to sleep there tonight.

I'm glad they're sticking to the alternate schedule. It sends a powerful message. If Javier is good enough for the Obamas, he's good enough for everyone else.

I have an extra seat to this performance if anyone is interested in buying. Orchestra, Row E, seat 7. If Obama is in attendance you'll likely just be feet away from him!

Parade Concert at Lincoln Center Feb 17

I couldn't sleep last night because I just kept running the score through my head. It sounded so phenomenal with that huge orchestra and chorus.

The BWW article is also quoting the Reuters article from 2003. A Google search didn't turn up any other more current news sources.

The reviews are never written based on the opening night performance.

SPIDER-MAN...the nail in the coffin? Taymor takes script Mar 12
2011, 04:37:21 PM
This has to be about leverage in a contract negotiation. If she pulls the script the show shutters immediately. That is a lot of lost money for the producers.

I love it. The soap opera of this production is so much more entertaining than the crappy show itself. I can't wait for the day when "The Making of Spiderman" is made into a musical.
