I saw the matinee performance of Rent on August 1, and Anthony Rapp came out after and stayed outside for almost an hour signing autographs and taking pictures! He didn't stop till he got to everyone it was amazing to see.
Also Jenn Gambatese and most of the All Shook Up cast when I saw them three years ago. Also most of The Color Purple cast talked and posed for pics and stuff after the show. I love them!!!

Lightguy, Pippin is one of those shows where if it is put into the wrong hands can be completely disastrous, but when done right it is spectacular.
How about You're A Good Man Charlie Brown? Fun music, simple story!

It really sucks that Adam rarely comes out from the stage door. But one of my friends claimed he came out one night 2 weeks ago. Glad you had fun Goofy!!!!!!

jay I completely agree with you about Drowsy Chaperone being dull compared to The Color Purple. I really need to see Fantasia. I love Elisabeth too.
--------------------------------------------------------
Please do yourself a favor and see Fantasia. Plus Fantasia and Elisabeth have such great chemistry.
I will admit that I thought the 2nd act did drag at a few parts, but all in all, it is a great show.

Pippin would be a great one. My college performed it in our black box a few years ago and it was awesome, fit perfectly in an intimate setting.
Also add:
-Songs For A New World
-Cabaret

There's no comparison between Drowsy and TCP. NONE! LOL. And I agree that Elisabeth is freaking amazing!

I did The Color Purple Rush last Wednesday, and we got there around 7:30 and there were like 8 or 9 people in front of us. So it wasn't too bad but the line started to really get growing around 8-ish, so I guess anytime before 8 would be ok?

I was laughing too when I found out Fantasia would be on Broadway, but boy was I wrong.

Yes, you are so right Tobias! She really left me speechless because she was that amazing. She really made the character herself and I forgot I was watching "Fantasia". I was bawling like a big baby during her "I'm Here". I've actually been watching the Tony performance on repeat since I saw the show on Wednesday. Please everyone get yourself a ticket to see this woman, you will not be disappointed!

Thanks to everyone who helped. I ended up getting Rush tickets for The Color Purple and we ended up in front row. And when we got to the line, it was about 7:30-ish.

Someone else said it perfectly, it all boils down to money. People are more willing to shell out money for something that they know will leave them fulfilled at the end. Maybe if Broadway all around slashed some of their prices people would be willing to invest in new plays as well as new and undiscovered musicals.

Fantasia was there for both the Wednesday matinee and evening show! And she was nothing short of amazing.

On Wednesday I got Rush Tickets for The Color Purple. Five of my friends and I ended up getting front row seats and I had such an amazing experience. Fantasia was nothing short of a revelation. I had no idea that not only she could tear the roof off the place vocally like that, but her acting was incredible. I would have never have believed this was her Broadway debut.
The overall show was really good. The entire cast did a spectacular job. The highlights definitely included Natasha Yv

Aida: I say cast an unknown who can SAAAAAAAAAANG and tear the roof down with her acting.
Radames: James Marsden, Jake Gyllenhall or even Cheyenne Jackson (Isn't he trying to transition into film permanently?)
Amneris: Brittany Murphy, Christina Aguilera, Anne Hathaway
Mereb: Corbin Blu or an unknown.
Nehebeka: Brandy

I saw Adam and Anthony on Aug. 1, and it was an amazing experience, but if I had the option I would have chosen to see something else. So my vote goes for Spring Awakening and Xanadu!
