I went on Thursday and Saturday (mat), and asked for Student Rush at both. I arrived about 30 minutes to curtain, and they were sold out both times and I was put on a cancellation list. Thursday, no one got tickets, but Friday, all three people on the list did. We all wound up in the balcony; chairs on the side if you've ever been to Second Stage before. I was last on the list and wound up in the chair closest to the front, with about a 1/4 of the stage obstructed. It was mostly fine, I still...

So, I saw the N2N for the first time since the 2nd Stage run today, and I was blown away. A lot of things really threw me, and I loved all of the changes they made. They really seem well thought out and for the better, especially the changes to Henry. He's enormously more likeable now; he seemed a little annoying at 2nd Stage. The ending was beautiful and touching and much tighter than it used to be, although Dan still sings a few too many ballads for my taste. Aaron has Gabe down perfectly, ...

I believe he found regular people with the same names as the famous critics of the day and posted their reviews accordingly...and of course, they all loved it...

mywonderwall, I'm a fan of Allison Case, so I'd like to say that, in her defense, she's been sick for the past few days and, from what I understand, she's not doing the show right now because of that. I haven't seen her performance and I'm not trying to make excuses, but maybe you just caught her on a bad day... CateBroadway, that sounds more like what I was expecting. Hmm. Allison seems like a wonderful actress, and from HAIR and the videos I've seen of Nemo, I think she's more than capable ...

C'mon everyone! Tell your grandma! Tell fat-ass Aunt Fannie! http://www.thepetitionsite.com/221/petition-to-get-title-of-show-on-ellen Less than 200 signatures to 999!

Haha, thanks. I feel a lot better now, since I only had $200 on me and I certainly didn't have it when I was done...

Thanks Viola. Aaargh, they sold her bag? I was talking to Michael McDonald and he told me it was her bag...but not that he was selling it. Do you know how much it went for, or is that asking too much?

Mwahaha...thank you, kind sir. Your username is full of win as well. Anyway, I'd like to direct you to this picture, which is worth more than a thousand words. http://flickr.com/photos/70959764@N00/2647020189/ Yes, that is a plush meat weasel in Heidi's hands. Yes, she does scream "MEAT WEASEL!" upon seeing me, which is all too offensive and funny simultaneously...http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=meat+weasel

Awesome. Thanks for posting the pic! I like that shirt, even though I'm a girl. Oh well. When I saw the show, there was this group of about 5 girls at the stagedoor, all decked out in Shrek clothing, saying they'd seen the show 5 times, etc. Anyway, they kept going on, and on, and ON about the mix tape reference, and told poor John how much they loved it about ten times. Then she called one of her friends at twelve at night just to tell them about the line. Really. Just thought I'd share.

Haha, you're right, eatlasagna! I pretty much agree with everything you said, except for the set bit. I saw the show from the last row of the theatre, and the set just looked like a big blob of green. I'm sure it was nice up close, but the folks in the cheap seats would like some distinction... Great pics, by the way! Could you please post a pic of the shirt you were talking about, though? I'm a sucker for merchandise, but I didn't want anything from Shrek because I hated the crappy logo they...

Jesus, CateBroadway, are you me? Seriously, I love Celia Keenan-Bolger so much that words can't express it, and while watching Hair, I kept thinking that Allison Case gave off the exact same feeling and energy. (Translation: I couldn't keep my eyes off Allison Case for the rest of the show after "Frank Mills". I missed some of the plot because of it.) 24 hours later, I love Allison Case. Damn it. I have to pay more than 1/4 price to see a show now... Oh, and I always find myself humming "Fran...

Apparently, the new Sophie will be... *drumroll* Allison Case! (yay) Really, that would be the only reason I'd ever see Mamma Mia again. She's supposed to start on September 24th. And, I really don't have a source other than Facebook and playbill.com listing her credits as "Allison Case (Hair, Mamma Mia)". But I really, really hope it's true, since I've been obsessing over her since I saw Hair.

Haha, soon2bstar, I was playing my In the Heights cast recording one day, and my mother walked in and just happened to hear the taxi line. She likes repeating things, and she didn't hear most of it, so it went: CR: "They say he's got quite a big-taxi!" Mother: "TAXI!" Me: *dies laughing* And the lyric that always makes me smile is from [tos]'s My First Time skit, "Hunter: We're here to talk about our first time seeing a Broadway show. Susan: And to help spread autism. (long pause) Hunter: Awa...

Michael Bennett, that is an inspiring post. Wow. By the way, I'm going on youtube and saying I want one of these:

Fanadu, that shirt in your profile pic is amazing. Did you see the show Saturday? If you did, I was in the front row...but I turned around a few times before the show, and there's no way I could've missed a huge-ass nametag like that, so I'm guessing you didn't. I'm glad the cast will probably be at the Flea Market, I just wasn't really thinking about time gaps when I posted. Oh, and apparently, Heidi pointed at me and said "Meat Weasel!" after curtain call, but that had to be the exact momen...

Will they even be at the Flea Market? They have 2 shows on Sunday, and it's not like they have a multitude of understudies/ensemble/chorus/assistant stage managers to man the booth. I really, really, hope they are, though, and I hope they sell lots of duct tape and rice krispie treats. I want a stay classy shirt, and Hunter should make us all some shrimp and sell it. broadwayfan, I was there yesterday too! Glad you and dramamama liked the show!

Y'know, when I first read that, I thought Hunter said he'd hope to be "re-enacting Into the Woods with barbecued chicken." Oops.

taylor, I love the Butter Lane vid! The best part is Susan feeling herself up, and the the frame breaks and we see Hunter. :) Haha, now I have to watch it 30 times again, since you brought it up. Here's another link for you Susan fans:
