Boy George in MR Feb 7

everythingtaboo said: "Like I said in the casting thread, he could barely handle standing and singing eight times a week 20 years ago, I did not have high hopes he could be maintain such an energetic role. I hate to be right. Hoping he gets better as he goes along."
You "hate to be right"?? after one show? Geez, give the guy a break. I doubt anyone is perfect after one show. Stepping into a hugely successful and long running show can be daunting for anyone.

MOULIN ROUGE! Broadway Casting Thread Jan 16

everythingtaboo said: "I love Boy George, I do, but I really can't imagine him having the physical or verbal stamina to do this 8 times a week. He barely could muster if to show up to Taboo, and he basically just had to stand there and sing a few songs."
I strongly disagree. I recently saw him live at the Hollywood Bowl and he sounded fantastic - and way too much ad-libbing for it to be a lipsynched. And because his run in Moulin Rouge will be relatively short, y

Lea Michele … Fanny Replacement. Dec 1

Not unless Fanny is supposed to be in her 40's...lol

I thought the first few weeks of her run would do well and then it would taper off... Glad to have been proven wrong. The stakes were high as hell when Michele went into this production. There was no room for her to be anything but an absolute revelation in the role, and it sounds like she has more than delivered. I look forward to seeing her for myself next weeke

barcelona20 said: "In an article from Variety today profiling Hugh Jackman, it said
"He even knows the name of one of his fans (Annette), who has seen “The Music Man” 115 times, casually bringing her up in conversation as if she’s a member of his inner circle."
115 times!?! At $200/ticket that would be $23,000!"
Only $5750.00 if she rushed! LOL :)

You're correct on the cesspool of ridiculousness of course, which is why the biggest lie came from babykitty_00:
"Most everyone on here are kind"
Yeah, it's a nest of vipers, allycp. Might as well find out now. I do hope you get to see the show and don't let this lot ruin the experience for you. If you do stick around, there's an Ignore function you may find useful to avoid the mean ones."
Wow, what sad, miserable p

The only idiot is the one who can't express an opinion without childish name calling. And if my simple comment while perhaps mildly snarky, was truly that devastating, then definitely stay away from any threads about Funny Girl."
Great, we're on the same page! You acknowledge that your comment was simple and snarky. Maybe if you don't ha

But I also know that there are factors such as different seasons, actors being out, Tony awards, etc. that change the experience with the rush line. Other than one person who was kind enough to post a very detailed experience, most of the recent posts were from when Hugh was off with Covid. I wanted to know if anything had really changed. One experience is great but I was trying to get another example or two for what it is c

I'm guessing tickets are pretty easy to get when Hugh is out. Just like Boy From Oz, he's the draw and I can't see the show going much longer, if at all, once he's done. It didn't win any Tony's so that will h

They should do what they did for An Evening With Hugh Jackman where the rush tickets came with a wristband, if you didnt have both the wristband and the ticket you didnt get in"
Oh they are 100% getting flipped. When I rushed about a month ago, I was 16th in line at 6:30 am on a Friday and there were three people (2 older men and an older woman) who were at

I saw it 2 weeks ago and I had seat B16. It was fantastic!! The only "partial view" issue was that you couldn't see any of the entrances from the right side of th

Dollypop said: "Perhaps this is Off-Topic but...
I was having a quick bite to eat at Juniors and was sitting at the bar. A very nice lady sat beside me and we started a friendly conversation while we ate. She was from Chicago and had flown in to see a few shows before heading home tomorrow. She told me she'd seen WICKED last night and had enjoyed it and had seen the matinee of THE WORLD'S GREATEST SHOWMAN this afternoon and she raved about it. I asked her if that was the actual title of the show and she repeated, "It's called THE WORLD'S GREATEST SHOWMAN and it stars Hugh Jackson. He's amazing."
I gave up on the conversation."
Funny, but I probably would have joked it off and corrected her..."why yes, he IS the greatest showman, but the name of the show is THE MUSIC MAN."

You can sit virtually anywhere in the Music Box outside of premium for just over $100, even the front row. Not even Phantom is that cheap.
What's up with that?"
That's nothing...my friends who work at Come From Away say that they've seen a large amount of prim

Why not just wait until early March and see what people are reporting then?"
Because rush scenarios are constantly changing and I was curious if that was the case with MM. There could be 10 people in line a week ago, and 60 peop

Yes, I have seen that, and as I mentioned, the last post on that thread was about a week ago (Feb 10). I was looking for something more up to date - maybe this week or last week. Thanks.

Yes, but to be brutally honest, does anyone really want to see this without Hugh Jackman?? Like a previous poster said, there is a reason Boy From Oz was dark when Jackman was out.

I’ve seen Groff and Glick and loved both. Have been curious about Jordan who I think is a terrific performer (if oddly cast here). Probably won’t have a chance to see him before he’s gone for good, but looking forward to Ricam
