I'm really hoping Everybody's Talking About Jamie makes it to the US somehow. I got to see them perform at West End Live and it was fantastic. However, I'm not sure how well it would do over here

You can watch CFA and Waitress here. They're both around the -24:00 mark. I found Jason Mraz really underwhelming...

Mean Girls Musical: Washington DC Fall 2017 Aug 16
2017, 05:52:41 PM
There is a ticket lottery before each show. I did it for the Fun Home tour and I believe there were 20 tickets available and then I can't remember how many lottery loser tickets there were. I ended up getting the lottery loser tickets. They were $35 dollars, orchestra row L seat 111. You also get to choose your seats from what they have available. It's a pretty good option if you can go on an off day.
Here is their ticket lottery page

These types of accounts used to be really popular on tumblr. They always managed to turn nasty. I'm not a fan of confession account anywhere. In general I just find them kinda dumb.

CHARLIE AND THE CHOCOLATE FACTORY Previews Mar 30
2017, 09:55:31 AM
GreasedLightning said: "A quick Google search provided two pieces of information that I found interesting and worth sharing:
1. Mendes is a producer of the Broadway production, which seems strange.
2. West End previews were delayed 5 days due to an "unforeseen missing piece of set that was not delivered on time by the contractor," which also seems strange.
"
There is actually a program that showed basically the process of creating Charlie for the West End. It explains what your second point is. I watched it a long time ago but from what I remember the glass elevator just was not working properly. It's a really interesting special if you want to watch it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DpqjD_XXj00

Covers of the 2016-2017 Season Mar 10
2017, 06:49:15 PM
The new Beautiful cover is anything but beautiful. They have had such fantastic playbill covers since day one. I hope this isn't permanent but, I can't see why they'd change the cover for a few weeks until they could use something of Abby on it.

COME FROM AWAY Album First Listen! Mar 5

sgreen3 said: "For those who have seen the show --- do you recommend listening to the album ahead of going, if I'm definitely planning to go in the near future? Or am I better off going into the show cold?

I think it'll be more powerful if the first time you hear the whole score is when you see the show.

How important is it to you to see a show with its original cast? Mar 4
2017, 10:24:22 AM
Seeing the original cast is really not important to me at all. When I'm in New York I pick the shows I see based on how interested I am in them. I actually really love seeing multiple people play the same role and see how they interpret the role. I've seen two different Medium and Small Alisons as well as fourteen different Matildas. I love seeing what different people bring to my favorite shows.
The only exception to this is if Jessie Mueller is in the original cast then I'

re: Best Closing Number to Broadway Musical Feb 10
2017, 03:35:31 PM
My favorites have to be Revolting Children from Matilda since its so fun and everyone is always so in awe of those kids up on stage giving it 200%. I personally consider that the closing number since When I Grow Up/Naughty Reprise is technically the curtain call. I also love Flying Away from Fun Home. It's so beautiful and makes me and most of the audience sob. Then I love You Can't Stop the Beat from Hairspray and then Find My Way/Finale from Legally Blonde. Both are just really upbe

Waitress Tickets Through Audience Rewards and Views at the Theatre Feb 2
2017, 11:00:23 AM
Has anyone gotten tickets to Waitress through audience rewards? I know the tickets are located in the orchestra but I was wondering where in the orchestra they may be and how the view is from that part of the orchestra. It's almost the same amount of money to get them through audience rewards or broadway box but the latter I'd be sitting in the mezz . So how does the view compare from the back orchestra and the mid mezz or side mezz?

The name doesn't necessarily mean anything the Matilda tour is called the acrobat tour and there is only one Matilda tour.

I believe so. I've only ever seen the D.C. Production and then a really bad version of the original version that I try to block from memory.

THE SECRET GARDEN to return to Broadway Jan 7

CATSNYrevival said: "How does the second act begin now that "The Girl I Mean to Be" is in act one? Are they still using the same overture and entr'acte? Both were left off the Broadway cast album which I've always found puzzling. I would have prefered the overture at least to be included in favor of some of those dialogue tracks.

Act two starts with the song "Wick" the song list is

They had a speech after the normal curtain call by an associate director. The kids all got flowers too.

I wonder if they are dumping the entire Toronto cast. It would make sense to continue on without the children, but maybe they'll keep the adults.
"
They announced some of the tour cast already almost a week ago.
"Direct from Toronto, the three girls sharing the title role are Hannah Levinson, Jaime MacLean, and Jenna Weir. The principal cast also features Paula Brancati (Miss Honey), Dan Chameroy (Miss Trunchbull), Keisha T. Fraser (Mrs. Phelps), Brandon McGibbon (Mr. Wormwood), and Darcy Stewart (Mrs. Wormwood). Full casting will be announced at a later date." X
