Just wanted to get a headstart on the post because I'm so freaking excited to be seeing the first preview of this much beloved show. I'll give a report below once I've seen this show. I can't wait! Hearing from a friend of mine in the show, Elena is stunning and amazing. We shall see what happens! Be back later!

Posted: 8/1/06 at 12:21pmawww I'm so jealous!! Can't wait to hear about the cast. Giving a big "Break a Leg" to the cast and crew! I wonder if Adam and Bartlett Sher will be there. I'm guessing.

"I wonder if Adam and Bartlett Sher will be there. I'm guessing."
Oh my God. I didn't even consider that possibility. Now I'm going to be extra on the lookout--if I see Adam Guettel, I may flip out.

Posted: 8/1/06 at 5:40pmThose pictures are great! Elena is gorgeous. I don't like David's glasses though. They must be new.

Posted: 8/1/06 at 5:44pmI think the glasses Would be fine, but they're a bit of a thick frame which really draws attention to them; just my thoughts.

Someone please report on what merch they are selling!! New shirts and posters MAYBE?!?!?
Also, someone who is bringing a digital camera PLEASE take pictures of the curtain call with no flash. I did it everytime I saw Piazza in New York and they always turned out great. I know everyone would LOVE to see!
