I've gotten stuff back from a few different actors in Mormon over the years- anyone in particular?

Dave 100%

Without a doubt sit onstage during Act II. During Letters, I've noticed that the cast is much more likely to give letters to people who are clearly enjoying the number/show, those looking everywhere, making eye contact, etc. Having a drink (alcoholic or not) for Act II is useful for the abduction, but you can always improvise the glass. Above all, drink in the moment and enjoy the experience!

On the subject of voices sounding quite different from what you hear live in the theatre, I think that Mike Faist's voice in particular sounds not like himself at all. I've seen him a few times live in both concerts and shows, and all of Conner's singing/dialogue just sounds off on the album.

Evan/Conner's letter"Dear Evan Hansen,It turns out this wasn't an amazing day after all. This isn't gonna an amazing week or an amazing year because why would it be? Because there's Zoe and all my hope is pinned on Zoe who I don't even know and who doesn't know me, but y'know. Maybe if I could just talk to her. Maybe nothing would be different at all. I wish everything was different. I wish I was part of something. I wish that anything I said mattered to anyone. I mean, face it, would anyone ...

Yes, he lost it the night before, midway through the show- right in the middle of "Hook". I loved his Frohman, and I really wish he'd been able to stay with the show. I feel like the show really took a toll on him.

At the ART when Michael McGrath called out, it created an entire chain reaction. Paul took over for him, Rory went into the Mr.Henshaw Track, Ritter was on for Rory, and a swing took over Ritter's track.

During Grey Henson's broadway debut as McKinley last summer, Trey Parker was standing right behind me holding his little daughter from the beginning until the end of Two By Two- she started making noise when the dancing stopped.

Laura Michelle Kelly for Best Leading Actress. She 100% deserves this.

Something Rotten.

To keep the thread updated: Billy and AJ are now leading the First National.

Well, almost every Disney movie contains a loss of parents, but seeing it onstage would be quite different than just seeing Disney brush their deaths aside to continue to follow the main plot.

CJ Eldred has left the First National Tour after about a year of being an Elder Price standby. The current Price standbys for that company are Miles Jacoby, who has been with the Second National Tour and the Broadway production since joining in June, and Gabe Gibbs, who joined the tour fresh out of Emerson College.

Bud is still there, I believe he has a few dates on for Aladdin before he goes to Something Rotten.

Jonathan Cullen, the original Price standby of the Latter Day Tour, departed November 30th. Not sure yet if he's moving on to a different company or leaving altogether.

Everyone hope that he calls out for the final show.

Drood is one that immediately comes to mind for me.

Patti LuPone goes up to the counter, and is asked to repeat her drink order several times, as it is fairly unintelligible. Partway through the third attempt at ordering, she stops everything to yell at a security camera above, incensed that it’s been taking pictures of her.

Anyone know what Pippin is offering?

Carolee should be able to do both, unless they drastically change the script, score, and blocking from the way it was in Cambridge. Any word on who is replacing Michael McGrath as Mr. Frohman, as he's committed to On the Twentieth Century?
