My friend and I got there at 8:45 this morning and the girl in front of us got the last ticket available. I'm not sure, but there were maybe 25 people in line ahead of us?

They typed the Equity women. No non-eqs were seen.

The website has the title "Jersey Boys Broadway Day of Performance Student Lottery" and then proceeds to say, "limited number of Student Rush tickets... available on the day of the performance starting at 10am at the box office." Is it a lottery or first come first served?

A friend of mine was in a reading of Fat Camp a year or two ago and I got to see it. It was really great! Funny, touching, the music was catchy... I'm really looking forward to seeing the changes they've made. Should be a hit!

Yeah, it looks like everyone knows. She'll be Evelyn in Ragtime. I don't know Savannah personally and didn't know if or when this news would come out so I didn't want to be the one to spill the beans if for some reason she didn't want it to be known.

I don't pressume to know all the details of her salary with either show, so I have no idea if she will or will not be taking a pay cut when she leaves RoA. I just know she has decided to take the other show.

I was actually surprised when I was told that the producers WERE looking to renew Savannah's contract and apparently she was going to ask for a LOT of money. Who knows if they would have come to an agreement? But she did decide to go with this other project.

When Savannah took over the role full-time she signed a relatively short contract that expires in Sept. She had begun negotiations to renew her contract when she was offered this other role which she has decided to take.

I know nothing about LBB coming back but I do know that Savannah is not renewing her contract. She will be appearing in another BWay show in the Fall...

I heard from a producer friend of mine that the show will be back in 2010. Not saying that is for sure, but he is a producer of a current, very successful bway show and he usually knows his stuff!

It was always a two-act show. This was Ryan Scott Oliver and Kirsten Guenther's thesis project at NYU and the one-act reading people are referring to was their "40-minute reading" assignment. They were supposed to present just the first act. Anywho, I'm going tomorrow as well and will let y'all know how amazing it is!

Saw the show last night also. While Minarik's voice does have a baritone timbre, he definitely had all the high notes! He sounded great and I really enjoyed his take on Lonny. I love Mitch and think he is wonderful, but it was nice to see a Lonny that is not so reminiscent of a Jack Black impression.

Yes, like I said, Curt Hansen is playing Jake.

Alex Brightman, currently playing Boq is Wicked, played Jake in almost every reading/concert of the show until now. (He sings Jake in the recordings on the RSO website.) Grief, however, decided he wanted to go in a different direction with the character and cast Curt Hansen as Jake in the upcoming industry reading.

This show is fantastic. No, the husband, Kevin, role is not the main focus. Jake, the high school boy she seduces into killing her husband is the lead male. You can hear some of the music here: http://www.ryanscottoliver.com/mediaaudio.html Verspertine, which workshop did you see? I actually played Kimberly at one of the first readings at NYU when they only had the first act.

Anyone know how the line was this morning now that the holiday weekend craziness is over? I want to try tomorrow morning.

I'm not familiar with this new production. Is it just like the Doyle Sondheim shows where the actors play all the instruments and there is no orchestra at all? Also on a related note.... Anyone know if there is an Original Broadway cast recording of Sunset? I did a little research and can only find the "American Premiere Recording" with the LA cast. Was a B-Way recording ever made or was it considered kinda unnecessary since the only major casting change from LA to BWay was Alice Ripley? That...

The producers wanted her out. She wanted out. There ya go!

Amy is no longer part of the show. Breakdowns for her role went out last week.
