The Inheritance is a rare and truly exceptional play.

I so love that you're talking about SIX already...

Thank you. I'm finding it difficult to track down the number of performances, but this is very helpful. It's a little bit of rocket science

Might anyone know how to find a list of the top ten longest-running shows in the history of the Lyceum Theatre, and their number of performances? Many thanks.

I'm actually trying to find a performance where Andrew is on that I can make, just to see it with him(although I will miss Andrew and Raymond Lee singing "Nobody Cares" )" Again, not to sound sell-y, but Jordan Grubb is totally adorable as Gus. This is a really good ensemble.

I say this knowing that most are only able to see a show once, but please don't feel you need to return your ticket if Andy is not in for a performance. The show itself is great, and while there is an undeniable star power to Andy in the role, the show and the cast stand out in a different, but equally satisfying way when Andrew Call is on. You will not be seeing an inferior show, just different. It's actually fascinating to compare the two if you're someone who likes to see a show more than ...

Call_me_jorge said: "Elphaba!!" Wow, that's kind of genius.

The show is so good. It struck a great balance between new-comers and die-hards. It's a touch English for US audiences at times, but I don't think that will slow its roll, at all. Something to look forward to...

Thank you all for your support. We do want to come away with an album of some kind. There are challenges, but we all share your feelings and will work on it. Thankfully, we were able to do a recording for the Lincoln Center archives. I'm planning a viewing there every Friday the 13th for the rest of my life. Ugh, I am really going to miss this show...

I don't comment much but I read these boards often, with mixed emotions. You're a surly group sometimes, but your love and knowledge of theatre is always inspiring. More or less to my surprise, you have been mostly supportive of our crazy little show. Your comments and feedback were welcomed comfort in the early stages when the limb felt very high off the ground. And in some ways it took sophisticated audiences to truly appreciate the challenges of being original and gutsy. For those we touch...

FindingNamo said: "I always thought it was boots on the ground." Is that more of a military expression? I like to think in terms of growing things.

Cynics! We're certainly the underdogs of the season, but give us a little time to get our roots into the ground and I think people are going to be pleasantly surprised. We're up for the challenge!

Jeffrey Karasarides said: "sethleaf2 and Dame, would you mind sharing your reactions now that the first preview happened?" I'm just listening for the moment, which is really hard because I'm champing at the bit. Come on, someone comment already!!!

sethleaf2, you are biased, not bias. Bias is a noun. Stupid English...Thanks.

Many thanks! You kids and your technologies

I would rather not because I'm bias and much more interested in what you all think about it. I just commented because I'm very moved by the production. I'm going to watch this thread from the sidelines. As long as I can, anyway.
