Just pre-ordered it! So excited for this.

When I saw Jerusalem a little over a week ago, There was a couple in our (completely empty) row who sucked face all throughout intermission and the short break between the acts. I even watched at the beginning of act 3 and they weren't stopping. It wasn't distracting, but I just think it's weird behavior.

I definitely agree with the Side Show sentiment - "Where is mine?!" is probably my favorite moment on any cast recording ever. Her belt was so beautiful and strong. There are a lot of moments on the new Hair cast recording that really get me. When the tribe sings 'Freedooooom' under Claude's 'Tell me why' at the end of Where Do I Go... It's so powerful. At the beginning of Three Five Zero Zero when Kacie Sheik wails "Ripped open by metal explosion", it gives me chills every time. The entire s...

HAIR!

I want a Passion revival. I don't care who's in it, although I think Jason Danieley would make a fantastic Giorgio.

Magic stuff, haha. Yeah, I couldn't figure it out either but after reading the script I figured it was the ashes of someone in his family (I was in the mezz). There is a lot in that play that confuses me. I'm glad I'm seeing it again this weekend.

Oh, awesome, I just skimmed it. Thank you!

Every day I get more excited for this. I can't wait for dates to be announced and for tickets to go on sale!

The first time I saw it with TDF seats, I was in orchestra row C on the side (the second row on the aisle) on a Thursday. The second time, I was in orchestra row M on a Thursday. The third time, I was in orchestra row P on a Saturday evening.

The only Phantom of the Opera prequel I condone is Susan Kay's "Phantom", because she did a beautiful job with it. It should remain in book form, though. This looks ridiculous.

I've never been disappointed with an understudy slip in my Playbill. When I saw Anything Goes, I found it unfortunate that I wouldn't be seeing Colin Donnell, but his understudy was SO GOOD so I got over it. As someone said earlier, the only time I would be disappointed is if I bought expensive tickets to a show that I only wanted to see for a particular actor (which I've only done once, with Billy Elliot for Emily Skinner). Would it be a nice gesture for Aaron Tveit to give Jay a show? Of co...

I love Rent as much as the next musical theatre fan of my generation but it just has so many flaws. I realized recently that there is not one character in the entire show that I relate to or feel sympathy for. I find all of them to be genuinely unlikable. I'm finally seeing this next week, so I guess I can form my opinion about the revival then. I love Brantley though, and our opinions tend to coincide. It was much too soon for this comeback.

I've been asked by an actress if I know where I can get my hands on audio or video of specific performances. It was her older work though. I think a lot of actors appreciate that it is being preserved.

dramamama - Since I don't get to NYC as often as I would like I buy a lot of DVDs. I've 'seen' his performance in ITH, and while I would not consider that actually seeing the show, his performance drove me insane.

"I can't stand him either. He's way over the top and trying too hard to be funny." It's the worst. I've never been as annoyed with a performer as I am with him and I've never even SEEN him in anything (live, at least).

I was really excited about this but if Robin de Jesus is in anything, I'm not interested. Welp.

After my parents got divorced, my dad came out and he really allowed himself to openly explore the community I guess. I was introduced to several musicals around age 5 by him, the first being Les Miserables. He played I Dreamed A Dream for me, and it was first time I ever saw my dad cry. I was so fascinated that music could move someone that way, and he let me take home the highlights CD. I had it memorized in two or three months, and he took me to see it in Boston when I was 8. I hold this e...

Am I the only one who is genuinely annoyed by this? Sondheim is not actually God, as some people seem to think.

Phantom of the Opera with one of my best friends on my very first evening in NYC. It's embarrassing how recent it actually was, but up until then, I had never realized how accessible NYC was to me.

I haven't seen this show but I think it's silly for anyone to say that it's mindless or a "two hour fart joke", hyperbole or not. It doesn't take a genius to see that this show is incredibly smart, even if I'm not a huge fan and haven't seen it live. The satirical essence gives so much life to the show and the messages it provides its audiences with are genuine and thought-provoking. I think it goes deeper than 'magical AIDS frog' and has a very smart book. Just my $0.02.
