I love this thread. Thanks, everyone. I've added about ten books to my TBR list.

If you like romance novels, I've written two books centered around Broadway performers with a third on the way (it's written, just need to get it prepared to publish early next year). They're called Love to Me and Til There Was You, both by Elizabeth Doherty.

I don't have a problem that Erivo is English and playing this iconic role. I do have a problem with some of the things she says and tweets and retweets. Whether she believes it or not, a recent tweet/retweet of hers makes it sound like she looks down on African Americans (something about how they're jealous of Africans), so that kind of makes me not want to see her play one of America's greatest icons. (Maybe it was taken out of context I guess?)

Will Swenson's mother who passed away a few years ago was named Sally. I'd assume she's named after her. Does James have anything to do with Audra's late father?

I really enjoyed her Christine, but I want to see her do something different.  Something NOT ALW (you're right, School of Rock doesn't fit her very well).

I don't follow Hamilton news very closely and didn't know what you knew or didn't know about extensions and whatnot. Will I miss a lot of the action in row W if it's partial view?

After a lot of fighting with the app and website last night, I managed to snag some seats for February.  It didn't let me choose the seats, but after 40 mins of trying, I was ready to give up and took what they gave me.  Row W.  How will the view be? (My friend got Row C, and I'm so jealous.)  Also, any word on the cast in February?

I went to check out and my order didn't go through.  I'm a little annoyed.

Any tips if I'm trying for the general sale tonight.  Do I have to wait until 11:10 to sign onto Ticketmaster?  Can I get "on line" earlier?  (I made that mistake when trying to get Cursed Child tickets and don't want to do it again.)

Adam Pascal gave a very nice (short) speech after Disaster! last night about it being the 20th anniversary and how it was great to be back in the Nederlander for it.

Does anyone know if there are any planned vacations for the cast members?  It's a limited run, so I wasn't sure, and I couldn't find any info about it on the Roundabout website. Thanks!

I know a lot of people are going to come in here groaning about O'Hara's potential casting and about how there are other ingenues who could/should play the role, but I heard that Kelli was fantastic when she did the role with the Philharmonic. I hope this is true because I'd love to be able to see the performance.

Darn. I was hoping for a week's extension. I am arriving down there on February 1, and I was really hoping to see this. When does Shuffle Along start?

Doesn't change the fact that he has strong ties to the area and to the theater community out there.

He's also from Utah, and his family owns a theater out there.  So it's not surprising he might do something there.  (A couple of years ago, he and Audra did a short run of 110 in the Shade in Utah.)

I heard a rumor that Sierra Boggess will play the principal. 

I'm not surprised at all.  She's ALW's golden girl.  Knowing his creepy obsession with her, he probably wrote it for her.

I've also heard Alex Brightman's name attached to this.

O'Hara has developed quite the rabid teenage fanbase since Bridges of Madison County.  Stories about intense stagedoor experiences for her are sad, but not surprising to me.
