Hi all—does anyone have insights from rushing the show post-Tonys? A friend of mine is aiming to rush for the two of us while I’m working on Tuesday and I’m not sure what time she ought to get there. Showed up at 8 am and got ‘em easy back in April, but idk if the post-Tonys bump is affecting the number of people who are rushing (or if it would be more affected by things like guest judge announcements). Thanks so much!!

Hi everyone! Long time no post lolDoes anyone have experience with 2nd Stage's $25 student rush, particularly for White Girl in Danger? Would love to try for the matinee today, but I don't want to build my day around the possibility if it might not happen. Any insights would be greatly appreciated!!

So, I guess at this it’s pretty possible that BMC will be there (I’m personally v curious to see the fans in action). Does anyone know why Wicked was listed on some of the articles? My sister even said that performers she follows on Instagram we’re talking about Wicked being there as soon as yesterday. I’m so excited to go, no matter what shows are there, but does anyone know for sure what shows will be there?

Thank you so much for all your insight! i will definitely be watching both the movie and the Merrick production in the coming days.

Hi all, I have recently fallen in love with the music of HAIR, and I am desperately looking for a way to watch it. No theaters in my area are putting it on, and I don’t want the movie to my first exposure to the story. I have found one professionally recorded production on YouTube, from the Merrick Theater a couple years ago. Has anyone seen this/do you recommend it? I want to see this show more than anything, but I want to make sure that i find a good iteration of it. Thank you!

Sure, there are a few eye-rolling lines here and there, and Part 2 gets to be slightly derivative in parts, but the text is overall quite strong. I was truly emotionally overwhelmed by the climax of Part 2, and only strong playwriting can make me feel that way. Of course, theproduction itself is what really delivers, but I'm always a bit irked when people say that the script is so much in...

Agree 100%! I absolutely lost it when I saw the menu being used as a flag!

AntV said: "Was Will Connolly not available or is Will Roland their attempt at "star casting?" Don't really think he's right for the role."I don’t know much about who’s right for the role (I haven’t really listened to it BMC). But, in response to your quote-unquote “star casting”, Will Roland is a major star among the demographic that is already obsessed with BMC (think the same teens that go crazy for DEH). In that respect, it actually looks like a pretty smart choice

My heart aches for these poor women and the unspeakable tragedy they’ve gone through. Keeping them in my thoughts.

^ I’ll also second Song of Spider-Man; it was quite fascinating.

THe Secret Life of the American Musical by Jack Viertel for sure!

Recently I picked up Alan Paton’s Cry, the Beloved Country and am thoroughly enjoying it. From some internet sleuthing I discovered Lost in the Stars, the last show Kurt Weill composed for, was based off of it. Has anyone had experiences with both book and show/cast album? Would you recommend? Thanks in advance; I always greatly value your opinions -Corky

I want to keep an open mind about this, but I just can’t see how anything can top the original. WSS was the show that got me into theatre, and I used to watch the movie once a month. Sure, it’s not perfect, but it’s been such an impactful piece in my own life that I have a lot of skepticism about a remake. That said, if it does turn out to be actually good (If it ends up getting made) I’d be pretty darn ecstatic.

One of the worst I’ve seen (from the same sort of crowd that partakes in the Mom/Dad nonsense) is the utterly confusing “I want (insert Broadway star) to punch me in the face”. Is there some sort of backstory to this or is it just as weird as it seems on the surface?

WIshing everyone involved happy “tails” lol
