Same thing happened to me in September. I was going to surprise my little sister with Wicked tickets, and we ended up winning. I gave my purchased tickets back to the box office to sell to the cancellation line, and ended up getting my money back. Legal and easy!

Critical bloodbath or not, Elf made boatloads of money at the Hirschfeld.

Tari Kelly was out all week.

She's not the first one to end on a higher note. It's usually at the discretion of the music director. Few women can make the E3 sound pretty.

Mary Poppins has t-shirts, aprons and autographed posters. The big seller is a backstage tour/meet and greet with Gavin Lee, Steffanie Leigh and the kids playing Jane and Michael for $150.

glad to see sister act is creeping back up. According to the Playbill Club emails, it looks like they're trying to fill the rear mezz up again. Good news?

we get it, gvendo, you hate Ken Davenport. I would've liked to see more funny stuff, but Lindsay Mendez made that clip worthwhile.

AARP members(and people who could find the promo code via google) got the first crack at seats last week.

Looks like they're shooting for it http://www.playbill.com/news/article/154197-Following-Houston-Run-Toxic-Avenger-May-Spread-Its-Goo-On-Broadway- Think they'll bring back Diana D and hope the masses follow?

It's still too soon to tell how bad we'll be getting hit. The last chatter I heard from NBC at the top of the hour said we'll be getting a category 1 in time for the Sunday matinee curtain. We'll probably have a much better idea tomorrow. Regardless, I don't see Broadway going dark for this storm. Wouldn't have too much trouble with the BOM SRO line though, eh?

Pull a Bette Midler/Priscilla and stick Whoopi's name over the title. Maybe it'll connect the dots.

Urinetown - Follow Your Heart: "...just laughter and gladness" Beautiful notes, straight up song sex. I've also been rather partial to the strings section in The Wizard and I starting after "Held in such high esteem..."

When Whoopi Goldberg joins the cast.

Well then, welcome to the club! I hope there will be many more shows in your future! 1. Like FingerLakesSinger said, the leads usually do both shows. After all, it is their job to perform! 2. Behind the Emerald curtain is a nice treat. You'll see some really neat costumes and props up close. The guys that lead the presentation are members of the Wicked ensemble. They'll talk about their experience with the show and answer any and all Wicked/Broadway questions. Sounds like a fun day in the city!

Katie and Teal have been with Wicked for quite awhile. It'll be nice to see where they take their talents next. As for the replacements...Definitely not Ricci: http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100002232589510 Shindle would be an interesting choice. She's already survived a role that required singing her tonsils out. Texanaddams: the new cast usually starts the next performance, so it would be Sept 27 for the new leads.

It would be nice if they did (I love how they changed the end of The Life I Never Led). But it costs a lot of money. I think they have to pay the actors something like a week's salary per recording session.

I thought Wonderland was a cute little show. I hate the way Chris Colfer sings (and I wish Glee would pick a new Broadway show to crush on). I think Patina Miller should have won over Sutton Foster.
