I saw Mary Poppins during its first week of previews here in NYC and Temper, Temper was in its orginal form still and it was WONDERFUL. I didn't really enjoy the show too much and I didn't grow up with the songs but this song added a great dark element and as an adult audience member,I appreciated it. I'm sad to see the show go in the direction it is.

I saw Krysta as Carla and she was really cute and quirky. Having not seen Janet DeCal I have noting to compare her to but her performance was solid. I also saw Eliseo Roman as Kevin and was incredibly impressed by him - he stole the show from any of the other supporting characters - his portrayal was so real and raw. There was also, obviously, an understudy for Piragua guy (since Eliseo was on as Sr. Rosario) and he was underwhelming. Couldn't hit the high notes and sounded like a high school...

As a kid growing up in NY this was one of my first theatrical experiences. My family and I used to see it every single year and loved it. This show hooked me on theater and was the first cast recording I was every obsessed with.

My brother works in marketing and media so that's how I get my tickets. A lot of complementary tickets are given out in the business world. Sometimes employees are given vouchers: normal xerox paper that says you get two tickets to Show X, etc.

My thoughts on seeing this show were pretty mixed but this review definately sparked my interest. I've been out of the loop for a bit so can anyone fill me in on the rush policy?

I admit to loving EVERYTHING Christmas related so I'm so happy that the marquee is up and it does look great in Times Square! I'm really looking forward to seeing this show.

In my limited experience, the cast members just walk out of the park after their performance but I don't think any would object to being stopped on the way out for a quick hello. As long as you're polite, of course!

I'd love to see a restaging of the show. Any chance to prove how universal Shakespeare's work is to new audiences is awesome, in my opinion. Being unfamiliar with the show, I think under a wise director and a great creative team, this could work well.

For the first year in a long time I felt that there were no surprises, which was nice because I favored the winners, but it did take a lot of the stressful-fun out of watching. I was just relieved that the GYPSY trifecta won.

Tengo un CD de Les Miserables de Madrid y me lo gusta. Tambien, si tu sabes las palabras antes de escuchas, es mas facil para comprender. Yo lo recomiendo.

AHHHHH I'm so excited!

The show enjoyed a healthy run and when it opened I guessed it would close just shy of two years. However, what shocks me is that they aren't finishing out the summer high. If they close the first weekend of September they could definately have the possibiliy to rack in some cash. Although they may have poor advance sales and only have tickets available through 8-17. We just need to be thankful that a new generation, including myself, got to experience this wonderful piece of art.

Chat anyone?

I can't wait to see this production! I've studied/taught Hamlet extensively and it's my favorite Shakespeare piece. Shakespeare + Hamlet + Awesome cast = an awesome summer night!

I'll be up tomorrow taking the dog to the groomer and I hope to remember to tune in. I always forget until the exact moment that it's too late.

Every performance is sold out as per telecharge, so I guess rush is out. I'm quite sad I'm missing this.

Benanti and LuPone's confrontation scene is like no other. Truly amazing.
