For me, it doesn't matter what the shows perform. I think what's more important is that the director is up to the task of shooting these production numbers in a way that fully honors and captures the performers onstage while also enhancing the energy and excitement that each show brings.

Hi folks. I keep seeing posts in another thread about people getting comps for CELEBRITY AUTOBIOGRAPHY.

I'm planning to see it on Saturday because a friend is in the cast, but I'm hesitant to ask them for tickets directly. The show has been on TDF for around $50+ and regularly shows up on TKTS in the $50–90 range, which still feels a bit steep.

Does anyone have any insight into the best way to score two comps? Any advice would be appreciated.

Good point.

That said, after a few misfires, this could be a smart reset: a show that plays to their strengths and reminds people why they connected with them in the first place.

Serious suggestion:

Turn "Death Becomes Her" into an event. Reopen it with Kristin and Idina. Seven shows a week. It prints money.

Thank you!

 

For anyone who’s seen the show -- is there any gunfire in it? If so, is it just a sound effect, or do you actually see/hear a gun being fired?

Thanks in advance!

 

The $58 seats are kind of a steal. CHESS is staged almost entirely down center, so even if you’re way off to the side, you’ll still catch basically everything. Truly, you’re not missing much at all. Grab them while you can!

Break legs to Betsy Wolfe tonight on her debut as Madeline! I can’t wait to see what she does with the role.

If anyone’s there tonight, please report back!

I’m about 99% sure Michelle Williams and Chris Sieber were both sick for Megan and Jennifer's last show together.

I’m fairly certain that once Megan returned from medical leave, attendance across the cast was pretty consistent, aside from Megan’s scheduled Tuesday nights off.

As others have mentioned, the holiday performance schedule was especially punishing (six shows in three days). If I’m remembering correctly, both Megan and Jennifer each sat out three performances that week, though I’m happy to be corrected if I have that wrong.

I think Matthew Morrison is unquestionably talented, but at times his performances can feel a bit overeager, which can be uncomfortable to watch. I felt this during the Tony Awards "Hairspray" number, where it came across as just a little too much and again in his later Tony performance when "Glee" was at its peak. If he can rein in that impulse and let the material breathe, he could be quite effective in "Just in Time."

"From a PR standpoint, both Morrison and Weinstein handled the Finding Neverland mess pretty badly."

What was the "Finding Neverland" mess -- and what did Matthew Morrison do to handle that mess badly? I can't recall.

P.S. While I was watching the show, I was struck by how sharp Lili Cooper’s comedic timing is. Would she make a great Helen Sharp replacement in DEATH BECOMES HER?

 

Does anyone have any intel on whether Jennifer Simard is staying with the production beyond Megan Hilty’s exit date?

Also, any (realistic) rumors on who might replace Jennifer when she leaves the show?
