"But really, if they were smart they'd film this with Platt after his departure to preserve his performance and release it at a later date. But that will never happen. " I dunno. I think they might be thinking about it. Or at least maybe that's just my wishful thinking. They'd be smart to. The producers have been very social media/internet conscious from a marketing standpoint. I could see them doing it, like Disney did with Newsies, or rather doing with Newsies... Bring it out in theaters ev...

I felt like all of the performances were a let down in different ways. Radio City's stage is just soooo big. Broad...

I grew up on Phantom and Les Miserables; they were always playing in my house it seemed like. Love them still to this day, but I've seen them so many times I never have to see them again. Ever. My choice will always be: Side Show OBC. I was in HS and still wish I could have seen it. It's the first show I remember truly discovering and loving on my own. I even have Ripley and Skinner's duets album. #nerd

Does anyone know if this is the case if you're including the item to be signed as well, or only if you're requesting, for example, a Playbill signed by Ben that you aren't providing? I'm hoping to send LOB cards to Ben, Rachel and Pasek+Paul. Thanks!"It's now been raised to $75 for a cast signed playbill per the note I received in my empty retur...

Well, this was a surprise. I had read on here they were requesting a $40 donation... I just got my envelope and $45 check donation back from Dear Evan Hansen with the following note. Guess it's up to $75 now. Crazy! Not quite sure how to attach images, sorry. http://imgur.com/55RIlY7

Yes, David was at the 2pm matinee. He sounded great! As did Bette, although her speaking voice sounded a little scratchy to me, but that could just be Bette. It was a performance and production NOT to be missed. The definite highlight of day one of my trip!

PatrickDC said: "This thread is so apropos for DEH and how we all use social media and the e-world to communicate! Part of me -- the cynical side -- thinks was all started by the DEH marketing team! LOL To the OP, there was a thread not too long ago here about sending gifts to actors. I imagine the topic has come up on this forum before many times. Anyway, IIRC, the responses were split about 50/50 between sending a gift or sending a thoughtful card. I vote for the latter. But then again, I w...

That said, Dolly is that Hamilton-like hit that can easily sell a seat way over face value and that means that there is incentive to not put cancellations or house seats in the system but sell them for extra $$. That;s illegal, but when there is huge market demand it happens. All that to say this - have a backup ...

JudyDenmark said: "For what it's worth, my last-minute Orchestra Row L was $229, which I think is the normal Telecharge price on that seat. There were a few available in the same batch at $189 as well, just not as good seats. I don't know that I'd pay absurd resale or premium prices, but I think $229 was a worthwhile splurge for the quality of this show. "Oh, I totally agree. I'd pay 189 or 230 for a decent seat in the orchestra. Just not 800+ for one on stubhub or tickpick. This NY trip is s...

amaklo said: "I agree to keep checking Telecharge. I don't know about Dolly tickets, but I kept watch on Ticketmaster for a Hamilton ticket when an extra family member decided to join our trip. A couple of premium seats popped up on the site three days before the show. Granted, they were ridiculously expensive, but so were all the seats available on Stubhub, and they weren't as good as the Ticketmaster premium seats. I saw Dolly last weekend from the mezzanine. I wouldn't pay $350 for a balco...

Hey all!New message board poster here (lurker for years)! Finally making it to Broadway this next month! I've read almost this whole thread... my Q is when you write the stage manager can you only request a playbill? What if I sent a poster for everyone to sign, is that a no no? After they receive your donation, does the SM take the playbill around to get signatures or do they just send one from a stack of already signed bills? I'd love to have a signed poster to frame to commemorate my first...

Hey everyone!So, I'm making my long-awaited first trip to NY the week after next. I couldn't be more excited! I have all my tickets except Saturday night. I had wanted to see Dolly but tickets have been sold out for ages. Dolly holds a special place in my heart since it was the first show I was in in high school. My Q is, has anyone had any luck with the ticket broker sites and should I just bite the bullet and pay? $350+ for balcony seats... I wish I could get closer but don't have 1-2gs to ...
