Is the rumor that Sunset would go back to London for a very short run still in the mix? Or does it seem less likely now? I wonder if they will announce at the final performance like they did in London with the Bway transfer.

I fear that Jellicle Ball may have waited too long to transfer (assuming they still do). Evita playing at the same time may dilute demand for JB as well, but JB will be even less buzzy if they delay more so as not to compete with Evita."

They must still be planning on it because their social media accounts (specifically on twitter) is quite active.

The Hirshfeld might be a nice choice in terms of the balcony facade and also it's on a much quieter block than most Bway houses, so the mass amounts of people gathering could be less of an issue.

It's really hard for me to believe that the way she's singing the score is not causing vocal damage.

I doubt this is a union show. Think more like Sleep No More, which def used prerecorded music.

No matter what the end product, I'm glad NYC is getting a brand new (risky) production, as opposed to a cheaper copy of the original (looking at you London).

They sent an email at 6pm (yesterdays show was an 8pm curtain). Good luck!

I was supposed to go tonight's performance and Nicole called out - I'm devastated :(

Jasmine Amy Rogers commented 'Looking HARD' under the post on twitter and City Center responded 'There will be a little versatility' . I'm now convinced she'll be playing Elle Woods in Legally Blonde.

If it’s Legally Blonde, the emoji makes me think that Elle will be played by someone of color."

Probably - it was played by a black actress when it was done at Regent's Park in the UK.

Call and order tickets by phone?

I'm comparing the photo of the Cats set to the off-Broadway photos and I actually think that is the paint elevation of the wall from the off-Bway run. The proportions, number of windows and corner 'cut-outs' certainly look identical to me

I actually thing Jennifer Lopez sounds great. The look of the movie is pretty rough though. The visuals look like a sad, low budget copy of Chicago.

Keri Rene Fuller will be replacing Lissa as Broadway Standby starting 7/1."

After that performance that went viral on social media a few months ago, I had a feeling Keri would come into the show in some capacity at some point"

What performance was that?

Jordan Donica is such a talent. I can't help but be bummed for Shavey Brown who I saw go on as Max a couple months ago and was absolutely fantastic.

Thank goodness. I don't want to see any iteration of that abstract American flag set piece ever again.
