Call_me_jorge said: "They don’t have him roll off the stage?"I saw the show in Dallas this past Sunday. Instead of the orchestra pit being the pool, they built a set upstage to look like the pool. I'm not sure how to describe it, they had it where the pool looked like it was underground as a part of the stage with an outer rim/fence that was a few feet off the ground to block it off from the audience view. They had a backdrop too to help with the pool water effect.There were two or three smal...

I have tickets for February! I was supposed to see it in June last year. I had a whole trip planned that revolved around the 2020 Tonys...womp womp.

I saw the show in Dallas on February 14. I thought it was wonderful. There wasn't a weak link in the cast, and they all had great chemistry. Everyone's vocals were very strong. I thought Nick Blaemire and Max Von Essen in particular were excellent. The Jason I saw was Thatcher Jacobs, and he was great. He has a beautiful voice and held his own with the adults on stage. I highly recommend seeing this tour if you can!

That review definitely worries me, but I'm still excited to see the show! I'm going at the end of this month.

Yes, but you should probably lower your expectations.

It probably would've been terrible, but I was looking forward to it. Oh well. As long as the networks keep doing musicals, I'm good. I'd love to see The Music Man or Annie done some time.

I loved the 1st national tour in 2009 with Donna Vivino as Elphaba and Katie Rose Clarke as Glinda. Richard H. Blake as Fiyero and Ben Liebert as Boq were also great.

I still can't get over that quick change during Show Off in The Drowsy Chaperone.At 2:54: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cuGBg-iam2U

This is so incredibly devastating. I always loved him as Gilbert. RIP

This movie was even worse then Hairspray I stopped reading your review right there.

what is going on with Red's legs...

I met Gavin Creel and the whole cast of Hair back in 2009 and it was so wonderful; they were all incredibly kind and I got to have decent conversations with each of them. I told Gavin how much he meant to me and I remember he gave me a hug and a kiss on the cheek, it meant so much. I also met Norbert Leo Butz when he toured with Dirty Rotten Scoundrels in Dallas in 2006. He was the first Broadway star I ever met and he was so funny and nice. I was so nervous to meet him and he put me at ease ...

The worst show I've ever seen was Wonderful Town. I don't know if it was just the cast I saw or the book but I couldn't stand it.

The two I could listen to for the rest of my life are the OBC of Into the Woods and the revival of Hair.

I think he even had to sell T-shirts and souvenirs before it started. This made me laugh a bit too loudly in the library! Whoops.

I don't think Nick has the charm or the wit to pull off this part but I hope he proves me wrong.

Bare In the title song: "That I LOVE YOOOUUU and I loved you from the start..." and the buildup before it. Goosebumps. (Pretty much the entire song gives me goosebumps). Book of Mormon Spooky Mormon Hell Dream: "I can't believe Jesus called me a DICK!" Oh my god, it's hysterical. That recording is one the funniest things I've ever heard. Bye Bye Birdie Honestly Sincere: "HUG ME! Suffer!" I don't know why but it makes me laugh every time. A Chorus Line OBC At The Ballet: Maggie's final "...at ...

Well, I grew up watching the classic musicals (West Side Story, The Sound of Music, etc) and those inspired me to perform in church musicals when I was a kid (from ages 6-13). I always thought I wanted to act so I decided to take Theatre I in high school. I soon found out that I much preferred to work behind the scenes, mainly in costumes, which I've been doing ever since. I also didn't know much about Broadway until my friend in that class played me the recordings of Wicked, Avenue Q, Hairsp...

SO excited about Hunter, I think he'll do a phenomenal job.
