Mean Girls Regional Theater Apr 18
2025, 05:50:09 PM
I love the show and was lucky enough to see it in DC Pre-Broadway as well as several times on Broadway and on tour. It's not a perfect show by any means but it's a good time and the score is really catchy in my opinion. If you're a fan of the original film, you'll have a good time with the moments from the film that they've brought into the musical. Another reason I'd say go is supporting your regional theaters as they are definitely at a time when they could use the s

What Inspired Your Love for Theatre? Mar 27
2025, 02:10:08 PM
I grew up during the Disney Renaissance and their animated films and scores were everything to me. I would sing them at the top of my lungs and play pretend to be many a character from them.
Because of my love of Disney, my aunt took me to my first show on Broadway - Beauty and the Beast. I'll never forget it. Andrea McCardle [of Annie fame] was Belle and Stephen Blanchard was the Beast and the whole production just had me captivated. My aunt said I was like transfixed a

Trump Wants to Host Awards, include businessmen and politicians as winners Mar 27
2025, 01:56:25 PM
After yesterday's announcement about Legally Blonde, I emailed to request a refund of my remaining tickets in my subscription [Legally Blonde and Parade], but per the email response I received I'll only be getting the refund for Legally Blonde. The email stated that since Parade is still scheduled to go on as planned, they will not be issuing any refunds if you request them given the state of things.
I fully understand why they're doing it this way and while I'

BACK TO THE FUTURE will close January 5, 2025 Jan 6
2025, 10:11:22 AM
BoringBoredBoard40 said: "Roger Bart not signing the last day, what a bummer"
I was definitely surprised he didn't since it was closing, but it was really cold last night so I can't blame him. He did make a rare appearance at stage door back in November when I went shortly before closing. There was a crowd of kids chanting Doc! Doc! Doc and I guess he got word of this and came out to sign. He was lovely and signed and took photos with everyone there.

BACK TO THE FUTURE will close January 5, 2025 Jan 6
2025, 01:35:56 AM
I was there for closing today and it was a very lively and excited audience who gave the show a really well loved send off. Just before the show started, one of the ushers came up to the front of the orchestra and had us chant “Happy Trails; Back to the Future” which was super sweet. It’s clear the front of house was incredibly fond of the cast and the show as they were chatting with patrons about how sad they were. Huge applause for Casey, Roger, and the Deloreon’s en

The Outsiders - Lottery/SRO/Rush Oct 22
2024, 01:09:17 PM
Standing room and the non 30 under 30 rush are the same price - $45.00
I've done standing room twice and the view is pretty good and the only thing you miss is Ponyboy and Johnny up on the top of the church at the beginning of Act Two.
I've also been able to get standing room just before curtain twice, so I'm not sure how that plays into rush. I've heard rush is still pretty chaotic with people showing up between 2am and 6am.

Once upon a mattress cast call outs? Oct 6
2024, 01:19:07 AM
Michael Urie will be out on Tuesday (October 8th) to attend a premiere in LA and Daniel Beeman will be on as Dauntless. I saw Daniel in Something Rotten on tour as Shakespeare understudy and as Cornelius on the Dolly tour and he’s fantastic. I wish I could make the trip to see him go on.
Sutton has not missed a show, so Kara has not been on yet.

THE OUTSIDERS Opening Night Critics’ Reviews Aug 21
2024, 12:16:04 AM
I went to see the show again on Sunday and Brody was in. Sky Lakota Lynch and Brent Comer were both out - Josh Strobl was on for Johnny and Dan Berry was on for Darrel. There were a couple swings on in the ensemble as well. Josh and Dan were fantastic and Brody did such a beautiful job with the role and I’m so glad to see him after missing him last time.
The best way to keep track of people being in and out is to follow the understudies on Instagram. Josh tends to post when

I so hope we get a recording out of this production. The voices in this production are worth preserving.

THE HEART OF ROCK AND ROLL to close on June 23 Jun 24
2024, 12:02:22 PM
I went back last week just after they announced closing and it was just such a blast and I'm sad it never caught on.
I so hope this tours because I will absolutely see it.
I caught part of a video of Huey's curtain call speech and it really tugged at my heart how much he loves this project and this cast.

Gunshots/Pyrotechnics/Loud Noises in ALADDIN & THE OUTSIDERS Jun 24
2024, 11:43:44 AM
On Telecharge, it specifies that there's loud noises and flashing lights.
I don't remember there being any gun use, but the fire situation was loud, but it didn't pop like pyro normally does.
Not sure if any of this helps, but it's certainly better than the first reply you got.

^The woman is 6 months pregnant, for god sake. Cut her a break. The amount of vitriol y’all have for this woman is just simply beyond. Find a hobby or something, sheesh.
With how hectic the schedule is the week of the Tonys, it’s very common for a lot of people from the nominated shows to be out. A few years ago I went to see Ain’t Too Proud the day before the Tonys and all 3 nominated men were out.
These people are human and can only do so

Performances at the 2024 Tony Awards Jun 6

^I enjoy the music from it, but it's definitely not the strongest score. I'm just surprised they'd feature it in a commerical and not have them perform. Especially since the tour is launching in the next few weeks.

I saw a commerical last week that heavily featured Back to the Future, so I'm a little surprised they aren't performing. I presume maybe they'll be one of the added performances.

BEN PLATT: LIVE AT THE PALACE Thread May 28
2024, 02:52:12 PM
I'm going to his second to last show the night before the Tonys and I'm really looking forward to it. I've liked the songs he's released as singles from the upcoming album and I'm sure he'll do a mix of older songs as well as hopefully some Broadway/standards. I'm also interested to see who he gets as special guests along the way. I do wish I had waited to get a ticket now looking at how I'm sitting in the mid mezzanine for almost the same price as a mid to rea
