Profile for Ljung

NPH had a truly great Tony's hosting year in 2013. The opening is my favorite of all time, followed closely by this from later in the show. I watch both of these at least 1x a month.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NnB6ynZEr2U

I saw Mean Girls with original cast a while back, and honestly the Aaron Samuels character barely registered for me - generally forgettable. But luckily a friend of mine warned me about Cameron Dallas so I wasn't blindsided when I saw it again on 1/28. It was so stand-out, laughably bad, I could hear my friend chuckling (desperately trying not to belly laugh) 4 seats away from me. Definitely tittering all across the mezzanine. The mezzanine was basically sold out, but I don't know if that's b...

Or a BTS concert? Or whatever the kiddos are watching these days. (aaaaand..... The elder millennial exits stage left)

@massofmen @Luminaire2 She's definitely not a bad actress, she's just a really different type of Jenna. And she and JJ have a self-admitted big sis/little bro chemistry in real life (video interview on BroadwayWorld). Maybe the stage chemistry will change over the run. I don't NOT believe them. I just believe her more when she's on her own.

And when I left INK last week, well after Waitress had let out, there were still people standing out there, id say close to a hundred, to meet Shoshana. I am sure JJ's fans were there, but Waitress attracts a teenage fan base (lotsa tourists) regardless."Oh I’m sure - I was very happy to have SBean as my Jenna. And I know the Joey McIntyre ...

P.S. I ran for the bathroom at the end of the show because people were sprinting past me, and when I got there the bathroom was empty, haha. Silly me, they were all young-ish girls Usain Bolt-ing for the stage door. When I got out to the street the crowd had to be at least 5-6 people deep waiting for JJ, I assume. So don't bother unless you're diehard!

Just got home from Jeremy Jordan's debut in Waitress. (Background on me: this was my first time seeing the show (I had seen and liked the movie but didn't love the plot), but have loved the soundtrack. I 100% bought tix to see JJ in this. Shoshana Bean was a lovely bonus.)It should be no surprise that at least ~70% of the overall audience and probably 95% of the mezz was there to see him. His entrance had an almost uncomfortably long applause break. Any time he does anything remotely (1) flir...
