I watched it.  Haven't watched a Hallmark movie in a long time but made an exception since Aaron and Laura are two of my favorite performers.  I didn't expect much, but was actually pleasantly surprised.  I liked the way the story flowed even though the plot is kind of cliche (which is to be expected since it's Hallmark), I think the actors working well together helped with that.  I thought the acting was great, but agree that Laura seemed more cheerful than us

Had a great time (as usual) at the flea market yesterday.  I did not get there until about 3:45 PM, but I like the end of the day deals so it worked out.  Now that I've had some time to sort out the goodies I got, here is a list:

-  So many T-shirts and some hoodies (Nice Work if You Can Get It, Frozen, Hello Dolly, Amelie, Misery, War Paint, etc.):  They had some of those stuff a bag for $10 deals, so I was able to get all these for $25.

Valentina3 and n2nbaby, thanks so much for the information!  How would I be able to check if there are any Linctix left for the other dates?  Since I cannot buy another Linctix at the moment, I cannot go in online to see if they have any tickets left (and I need 3 since 2 of my friends are going with me).  I am afraid that once I give up these tickets I will find out that Linctix for all other dates are sold out.  As much as I'd love to see Laura/Lauren, I would not ri

I have no doubt that Laura Benanti will be great in this role, and very disappointed that I won't be able to catch her performance or Lauren Ambrose's.  I had specifically booked my Linctix ticket for 11/17 before this announcement, so that I can avoid the cast's vacation schedules and see Lauren Ambrose, Norbert Leo Butz, and Harry Hadden-Patton in their roles.  And then this announcement happened - I was so excited and could not believe my luck because I am a big fan o

I stopped listening to cast recordings before seeing a show after I did that for Book of Mormon.  Knowing the lyrics really took so much away from that show.  I like to be surprised (pleasantly I hope) now.  I actually have really good restraint - have managed not to listen to Dear Even Hansen or Hamilton since I have yet to see these shows.  However, I would watch some promo videos to decide if I would be interested in a particular show.  Since the promos are us

I was there tonight (I got a rush ticket through TodayTix, I couldn't believe it when I got through!).  I really loved the concert - thought it was absolutely marvelous!  This reminded me a lot of his show at 54 below years ago, I just cannot decide which one I loved more (I love these venues that feel a bit more personal).  He did not do any covers of pop songs tonight, and the show definitely felt very classy and suit the venue very well.  The venue is beautiful and

Instead of creating a new message thread, I found this one from back in 2010.

I am from NY, and the other day, about a week or two ago, I could have sworn that I heard Dear Evan Hansen's "For Forever" on the radio.  It definitely did not seem like an advertisement for the show, because the song started from the beginning, and went on for about 15-30 seconds without interruption.  However, I was on one of those FM radio station from Connecticut or something, so t

I am so happy that Elsie Fest is happening again this year!  Went to both previous ones and had so much fun.  Glad to see Corey Cott returning (if the current unconfirmed lineup is correct), he was amazing last year and is currently giving an extremely moving performance in Bandstand.  And yes, Audra and Alan would be so awesome!  Looking forward to the confirmed lineup (even though I think regardless of the lineup, it is always nice to have an event where broadway music i

Catch Me If You Can  (Aaron Tveit and Norbert Leo Butz were perfection, and I love the score)

Honeymoon in Vegas  (One of the funniest shows I have ever seen)

Ghost  (Caissie Levy was awesome)

Bridges of Madison County  (Beautiful score and orchestrations, what a shame they didn't get to play more performances)

Bonnie & Clyde  (I absolutely adore the music, and Laura Osnes and Jeremy Jordan were phenomenal in their roles)

I live in Queens, and even for me, 2 hours prior to show time is definitely not enough notice.  Depending on what I am doing at the time of notice, I may have to do different things to get ready to head into Manhattan, and NYC transit, especially on weekends, may not be very efficient.  I think the 2 hour notice would probably only benefit people who live in Manhattan or very close to a subway station.  I find that at least 4 hours of notice is best.  Putting down credit c
