Just noting here that there was no invited dress rehearsal for this show, so tomorrow’s first preview will be their first time back with an audience.

We have tix for a week from tomorrow, Monday the 22nd. It’ll be the first professional production I’ve ever seen of the show live, after memorizing the cast album some 50 years ago. Need to keep our expectations within reason :

It was everything I dreamt it would since two years ago when it was announced. Cast is in top notch shape and they are loving, cherishing, and relishing every moment of the piece since being away from it for so long. LuPone? On fire. Lenk? Heartbreaking, charming, lovable, and her voice has grown stronger and stronger with the material.
Those of you going tomorrow are in for a treat. Actually, anyone going to any performance of this production is in for a treat.

Excited about tonight as well! I imagine it’s going to be a great crowd and an electric performance.

After missing the show by about a week thanks to the shutdown, I used my Audience Rewards to book for my birthday in January. Seems apropos.

That Tiny Desk concert is...odd. Lenk is predictably pitchy, the banter seems unnaturally scripted, and everyone looks kind of uncomfortable.

There are party hats by each seat tonight.
Also, the first preview Playbill sticker says “I’d Like to Propose a Toast, Company, Back on Broadway, November 15, 2021”.
Oh look, a bibu!

Are they the “Keep a Tender Distance, So We’ll Both Be Free” masks they’ve been selling online since the darkest days of the pandemic?

Free party hat and first preview tote bag at every seat. People are wearing the party hats, isn’t that going to obstruct some people’s view of the stage stage?

That was my first thought… hopefully people will them off when the show starts!

Let’s hope they make an announcement to take them off before the show starts

HOW IS THE SHOW EVEN BETTER THAN IT WAS BEFORE??
Marianne Elliot introduced the show and then the curtain raised on the entire cast in a line, to welcome us back. Lots of tears and then Patti stepped forward to say how she dedicates the show to Sondheim, who walked in a few moments earlier to a standing ovation. Yes, our Lord and Savior is here tonight.
Tonight is magic.
