Thx! That post was about tickets going on sale and was seven pages long. When I checked last night, no one had posted about the actual show so I thought maybe it needed a new posting devoted to previews,. That's what I get for presumptuously creating a post!

Who's going? How are the front two rows? The back of the mezzanine (the only seats I can afford)? Does it feel like a concert with more chatting than usual (though Springsteen was known for epic storytelling) or does it play more like a theatrical evening, a one-person show? Per Springsteen, the set list is locked in. According to Rolling Stone, this is the list of songs he played at the first preview. Springsteen on Broadway Set List1. "Growin' Up"2. "My Hometown"3. "My Father's House"4. "Th...

**sigh** You said, "yes, we know this" as if everyone knew about this controversy so of course you wouldn't suggest differently.But in fact you wrote, "Except for one thing- he said that Reagan "laid a wreath on the grave of a Nazi soldier". That struck me funny. I thought "how did something like that ever happen and I don't remember it?""You also "corrected" me by saying that Reagan had laid the wreath at a memorial rather than a particular grave. But of course I made that very same point my...

You can google and easily find pictures of President Reagan indeed laying a wreath at the Bitburg cemetery, which was dominated by Nazi-SS soldiers. He was widely condemned at the time around the world for doing so. You could tiresomely argue Reagan was laying the wreath at a memorial and not a particular soldier's grave but that's a distinction hardly worth mentioning. Michael Moore is essentially correct.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bitburg_controversyMy attempt to upload the picture seems...

What date is the Sunday matinee you have free? If it's Feb 19 or later, I would definitely choose Come From Away based on early reviews and comments here. Sounds like one worth catching and it should be in good shape pretty early since it's had lengthy out of town stints. I think you have every other musical covered so I'm sure you've considered it. If you do plays, Jitney is great and perhaps Significant Other (which starts previews Feb 14) though most think it's no Bad Jews. But really, is ...

Fascinating! Did you just google the names on the Playbill? Or did you look up the show's SEC filing? I'd love to know the actual official estimated running costs that the show included when doing that filing. But I've never been able to figure out how to look it up online. Clearly "In Transit" has a pretty low running cost for a musical. (My god, the poor cast had to lift and shove around those subway seats so often I expected a Teamster to come out and tell them they were breaking union rul...

Yes, if you or anyone would give a general idea of new songs versus reworked songs from Bowie's catalog, that would be great. I'd be glad with a specific rundown but perhaps others consider that a spoiler, so maybe a general comment and then warn them you're gonna get specific. Is "Blackstar" in it? I heard that and other songs from his upcoming album were written for the show.
