Questions re: tickets to "Beautiful"
Jul 17
2014, 04:05:00 PM
Does TKTS ever have availability for "Beautiful", or are sales so hot that my question is altogether laughable?
Just in case it isn't altogether laughable (possibly because I'd only need one seat), do they ever discount the "premium" seats? I'm going to be in NYC in the next week (for five days) and was hoping to MAYBE catch it without paying an arm, a leg and a kidney. Any chance of this? Also, are there any other discount sources for tickets for this particular show?

Phantom tour
Jan 17

Does anyone have any information on which performances will be featuring Grace Morgan as Christine instead of Julia Udine? The theater critic from one of our newspapers gave Julia some very high praise and I wanted to be reasonably sure that I would be seing her in the role if I decided to buy a ticket.

Book Of Mormon National Tour!
Aug 25
2012, 12:38:07 PM
Sorry, I guess I stand corrected. It was originally only a three-month booking which led me to believe that it was a tour, so that would have made it only one more month than the two-month L.A. tour stop. But I guess it would stand to reason that three more months couldn't be tacked onto a "tour". My mistake.
But I'd still like to know if there's any casting news.

Book Of Mormon National Tour!

I live in Chicago (seeing the show on January 30) and I'm pretty sure I never heard it referred to as a sit down. They did just announce a three-month extension. I don't know where the talk of slow ticket sales comes from. I got my ticket at least three months ago -- Maybe even more. At that time there weren't many decent orchestra seats left. Apparently the demand was high enough in order to warrant the extension.
Has there been any casting news for this production yet?

I'm sorry -- I should have re-worded that to read "those who weren't fortunate enough to be cast in the first national tour". And yes, I do know that sometimes we in Chicago get really good talent, but I don't know if that's always the case. (Are you a Chicago resident?)

So in other words, Chicago will get the people that weren't good enough to be cast in the first national tour! (Either that, or "home-grown" talent.)

Okay, I'm a little confused here. I thought that the production scheduled to be in Chicago from December through February WAS the national tour, but according to the schedule the tour is going to be in several different cities (not including Chicago) during that time. So if we in Chicago are not getting the national tour, what ARE we getting? And WTF is it that I paid $150 for? (Yeah, I know -- It was a lot more expensive on Broadway.)

South Pacific tour?

There's a production of South Pacific coming to the Cadillac Palace Theatre in Chicago later this month for approximately two weeks. Has anyone seen this version anywhere else? And is it worth seeing?

Question for the
Sep 27
2011, 06:54:38 PM
I did always think of "Defying Gravity" as a duet, even though it's Elphaba's big number. Would that be wrong?
And regarding the others that were mentioned -- even if they're songs written mainly for other characters, are those characters joined by someone else for more than a line or two in them?

Question for the "Wicked" experts
Sep 27
2011, 05:47:06 PM
I'm in a contest that involves some Broadway trivia and I'm sure someone here can give me an accurate answer to the following question:
How many of the songs from "Wicked" are duets? (I've only seen the show once a long time ago and I don't have the CD, so I can't really go from memory.)
Thanks!

Looking for Phantom Of The Opera trivia answer
Sep 21
2011, 04:23:42 PM
Hi, everyone. I'm in a contest where we have to answer trivia questions, and I can't seem to find the answer anywhere, so I thought I'd ask all of you Broadway/musical theatre experts.
Apparently someone else prior to Andrew Lloyd Webber was approached to compose "Phantom Of The Opera", but they declined because they thought it would have to be too operatic. Do any of you know which composer that would be?

Opera Stars you want on the Broadway Stage
Jun 13
2011, 10:30:56 AM
In my opinion, Jerry Hadley was a wonderful singer of musical theater. He did a CD called "Standing Room Only" on which he did some really good renditions of Broadway tenor repertoire. Gone too soon -- RIP.
In an interesting twist and even though it's not technically Broadway, "Showboat" is going to be part of the 2011-12 series of the Lyric Opera in Chicago, starring none other than ... Nathan Gunn! You can be sure I'll be seeing that one.
Speaking of opera, I saw Danie

Alice Ripley proving a tad elusive
May 5
2011, 08:23:14 AM
In response to your question -- No, Alice didn't go on last night, and apparently she didn't go on for the matinee either. I can understand that there are circumstances where the regular performer can't go on, but I was still disappointed because I was really looking forward to seeing "Tony Award winner Alice Ripley" and had a great seat (first row mezzanine on the center aisle).
Pearl Sun has a great, powerhouse voice and did a decent job with the role. However, she didn't really see

Showtunes Channel on MusicChoice (digital cable)
Apr 20
2009, 01:37:41 PM
If anyone used to listen to this channel in their digital cable line-up, be advised that MusicChoice has seen fit to butcher it (as of April 15). What they've done is changed the title to "Stage and Screen" and instead of strictly showtunes, they now feature instrumentals from movie scores and popular songs that happen to have been featured in movies -- both in large blocks. The only blocks of actual showtunes occur between 8 a.m. and 4 p.m. Monday-Friday (normal working hours for a majority o
