There's only 4 days left until this closes. I'm shocked that this wasn't shown as part of NT Live series.

There's one shot in the trailer of Tonatiuh on a stage as a sheer curtain opens in front of many glamorous women–

This is correct. Weekly running costs hover just under $1M.

The campiest part of this thread is that binau is actually Cole Escola

(joking, unless...!)

I'm not seeing tickets for the 8th appear with this code. Any advice?

It's always been a fervent belief of mine that David Lynch is the only director who could ever adapt Anyone Could Whistle properly for the screen.


His surrealist interpretation of suburban Americana seemed perfectly positioned to mine this absurdist musical for maximum value. 

Moonshot casting –but it would be so special and full circle to see her as the Old Lady / Blair Daniels in a Sunday revival.

The production could honestly do some casting changes and have her play the Old Lady in act 1 and Marie again in act 2. 

Company (Marianne Elliott) had "I <3 NY" totes birthday party hats inside for both first previews. The ushers handed out balloons upon exit, also. The 2022 (second) first preview also included a Company face mask inside of the totes.

I sat in C and was in the second row so B is first.

I believe that there is a section of AA, BB, and CC rows that were removed for the passerelle.

Friday night, yes. Unsure about today  

Rose begins crossing the passerelle around “you either have it —or, you’ve had it!” (I believe) and is center-passerelle by “momma’s gonna show it to ya” where she stood for the remainder of the number.

This was reported in this thread earlier this year. The new songs composed for Wicked Part 2 are:

The Bishop’s Song, while delightful and brilliantly orchestrated, perplexes me. There’s almost no rhyme!

Have we ever had a Sondheim song with hardly any rhymes?

For someone who held brilliant rhyme scheme in lyricism to the highest regard, it’s so out of character that it has to be intentional.  

This is where I really grieve the revised Hat book that will never come.
