For anyone going tomorrow: The School of Rock and Wicked presentations will turn even the stoniest of hearts into a pool of (warmhearted) tears.

Yup, bring a lot of tissues. I was expecting all funny skits and I was just bawling after these 2 moments

Can anyone comment on how long these shows usually are? I’m thinking of going tomorrow if I get get into midtown from LGA in time. 

Follow-up...should it be a problem to purchase tickets at the door? 

Final question. I have another show at 7pm. I shouldn’t have any issues making it, correct?

Tuesday's performance is at 2:00 and should be approximately 2 hours, if that. You will have no problem making a 7:00 show. The BCEFA website says a limited number of tickets will be available at the will call table, so you may be taking a chance there.

Thanks! It’s a toss up if I can even make it time from the airport so didn’t want to get a ticket in advance. But good to know if I do, I have at least a shot at tickets.

Didn't want to start a whole new thread. Just back from today's Easter Bonnet Competition. This show, like Gypsy of the Year, is so joyous. You can feel the participants joy in performing new material away from their regular 8 show a week routine. Many highlights, too many to mention here. Raised over 5 million in a 6 week period for Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS. Bravo to all!

I was also there. A few highlights - Andrew Garfield making out with one of the puppets from Avenue Q! Bernadette Peters using Victor Garber as a chair!
