I wouldn't panic, but I'd give them a call during business hours and ask to speak with their customer service department. Even if they didn't arrive in time, they could arrange for you to pick them up at the will call window. Good luck

I think alot of it is the added energy of closing night. While the performers are sad to see it close, I think they respond to the audience's energy. I was at the closing night of The Boy from Oz, and it was like no other Broadway performance I had ever been at. The performers kicked it up a notch, the audience was at it's peak, and everything was just in top form. Yes, the applause got a bit much at times, the reaction of the performers made it worth it.

That's nuts... at that cost, I'd wait until it was out on DVD. I used to go to the movies almost weekly when there were enough good movies out, as prices went up, my attendance dropped and I now rent more often then I go to the movies and that's for a whole lot less then the UK cost. Ouch

I normally don't see films on opening weekend, as I hit battling the crowd, but I just got back. I went to see it with my Mom who also loved it, especially the ending. Loved the orchestrations and casting. A quick question... I was at Midsummer Night's Swing at Lincoln Center and some people started doing "The Madison" that someone said was from Hairspray. I was doing it along with them, and I didn't see "The Madison" in the film. Do you know if I missed something, is the Madison actually in ...

Hmm... I guess I was standing on an imaginary long line for the ladies room?

The stage door is on 56th street. Hopefully she'll start coming out, she didn't at the first preview. BB should be absolutely fine.

No, about 10:30 someone from City Center came out and said nobody's left in the dressing room area.

Haha...Patti delivers a revolutionary performance, flubs her lines, and ALL IS LOST! I didn't mean that, but out of anyone I would have expected absolute perfection from her. She was absolutely amazing. How was Laurents at the stage door? Laurent was very kind, he first walked through the crowd with little interest, but he then stopped and signed quite a number of autographs. I am PRAYING Sondheim will be at the press night July 14th. And will stage door. It's my dream to meet him. I didn't s...

I can't add too much more to what's already been said... I agree Patti was perfectly cast, I loved the chemistry between her and the other cast members. In addition to the other numbers mentioned, I also enjoyed Together, the chemistry where the three of them come together as a family was fun. Patti flubbed a couple of lines, and called June "Jane" a handful of times and there was one other can fall, nothing unexpected at a preview. The one thing I was curious and couldn't remember from the l...

The orchestra was packed... I don't think there were any empty seats downstairs.

What's stopping it? It usually comes down to money... where is Great Performances in their budget season, what did they already have planned, what are the costs going to be? They usually plan pretty far in advance, so while I hope this comes together, having 2 Broadway shows preserved for broadcast/DVD in such a short time would be fairly impressive.

Miss Saigon was a bore to me... Les Mis is still my favorite musical.

I don't know how much rush tickets are, but I went tonight, got a single ticket for $36.25, and since they were far from a full house, they let me sit in the second row of the rear mezzanine, which were very good seats.

I used to go to the theater very often. The way ticket prices keep rising, even with discounts and the tickets board, it becomes too costly to be a regular.

No, it was mostly a retrospective of his favorite films and shows. In addition to my note, he did music from As Time Goes By, Gone with the Wind, The Swimmer, My Fair Lady, Ragtime Medley, Schindler's List, Sophie's Choice, Ice Castle, The Way We Were adn A Chorus Line Overture.

I just came back from the NJ Symphony Orchestra doing Marvin at the Movies, conducted by Marvin Hamlisch with three solos by J. Mark McVey including his standard "Bring Him Home" and although he wasn't the Phantom, I've heard him do "Music of the Night" before and it suits him well. He also performed the "Soliloquy" from Carousel, which was excellent. I loved the arrangements they performed and Marvin is a fun performer as well as it being fun to listen to him play. Overall a good night.

Thanks for the tip... opening night of previews isn't my first choice, but I couldn't get through on the phones and had been trying other nights on the website. Now, I can go back to work...
