so, from Tuesday to Saturday, there are 8 performances, will Lin be performing at all of them?  Does anyone know if he plans on taking any breaks since it is his last week?

 

what about any of the other principle cast members?

yeah that could be a possibility, but since these tickets were on sale since September of last year, this must have been planned WAY back then...

 

just seemed odd to me

Anyone know why they are having a matinee on the Thursday, July 7th for Hamilton?

I was surprised they were selling it.. could it be because of the exodus of the 3 stars leaving?  And since these tickets have been on sale for awhile, was this planned way in advance?

 

Does anyone know how they did/do the tricks on Pippin?

That's what I am the most curious about.  I can't remember the tricks specifically but I do remember watching the show and thinking.. WOW.

I went to the matinee show this Wednesday and Gabriella was performing.  Seems like Sydney has been absent for a week now. 

I have nothing to compare Gabriella to since it was my first time seeing the show, so I thought she did well.

Thanks for the suggestions all.. Yeah I mistyped my title.. Of the three shows, I've only seen BOM so I wanted to compare the two to it.

But I think I will settle with Avenue Q.  Someone in front of me at the TKTS line said that SR was hard to understand even though they incorporate a lot of plays into the story which was very well written or something to that effect.  

I'm trying to decide which show to watch tomorrow night, and I've narrowed it down to Something Rotten or Avenue Q.  I've heard that both are quite hilarious but I have very little to no knowledge of what either two are about.

I loved the "i'm ****ed" scene. 

It's the one sign thats known universally, by anyone and everyone... the middle finger!  :)

I saw this last night and I can't believe how much I enjoyed the show.

It was amazing, and the music was great.  A few questions/notes:

How come Melchior was a single person whereas Wendla, Moritz and a few others had their singing/signing counter parts?  Was it because he was talented enough to be able to sign, sing, and perform?  

I loved Katie Boeck as the voice of Wendla.. I kept thinking, wow she totally sounds like Lea Michele.

I was in the mezzanine and i did not see any cameras up there. one could only hope they filmed it!!!! i would love for them to release a copy some day of their final show, as Rent did.

There was an afterparty after the show.. did you go to that?

I want the footage from this guys camera... at the beginning of this video.

I was looking at #mammamia on instagram, and there are so many people with video cameras, even professional looking video cameras sitting in the front row.  I am hoping they post some of these videos up online somewhere.

If anyone knows where to find these.  Please let me know.

Not going to the party as I'm 99% sure it is ONLY open to the cast / crew / alumni / family / friends, like most closing and opening night parties are... 

"

I read somewhere that they are having a party for the closing.. I think either before or after the final show I forgot.  Is anyone going?

Or is anyone here going to the final show?  I wish I could but I'll be missing it.  Can anyone here live tweet what happens at the party and or include some pics?

Thanks

I LOVE MAMMA MIA... So sad it's closing.. I would give anything for a professional recording of the show. 

How likely is that to happen once this closes/ends on Broadway?  I've seen some bootlegs of spanish versions, but, it's not quite the same.

I added about 13 more pics from the show yesterday.

I also took a pic of the "noble".  I guess its not Lisa Karlson.  She didn't really have a speaking part. 

It was my first time watching the show, and at the beginning I was confused as to what was going on.  I kept asking, what time period is this happening?  I wasn't sure of the plot, but eventually I sort of understood it.  Overall, very entertaining, and great show.  I was a little disappointed that I didn't recognize any of the songs.  I love going to shows and hearing a song and thinking "WOW, so that's where that song is from."  But, none of that at this show.
