Posted: 3/24/06 at 9:27amI'd like to be there, though only to see Hugh Panaro in the role, but I can't make it out to NY for a while.

Posted: 3/25/06 at 3:36pmWell it seems like you're planning on liking it one way or another! I'd try to go tonight but I have to work, I'll go sometime.

Well I DID like it when it was in previews. There were a lot of problems with the book and the flow and whatnot. But the music, visual aspects, and the actors were all magnificant, and that was enough to make me love the show.
I don't see myself not liking the show if they haven't changed the cast, the music and the visual style. Thats all.

Posted: 3/25/06 at 5:04pmPlaybill has an article about all the revamping they did on the show since the SF run. It is supposed to be much much better. I am going in July. I wanted close seats and it was sold out until them.

I'm headed there on the 27th. :). Super excited. Hoping it will be much improved from the San Fran tryout.

Posted: 3/25/06 at 6:14pmI know people who are seeing it tonight, but I'll be seeing it on the 31st. :) Very, VERY excited for this ... especially since I'm about half-way through the book The Vampire Lestat now.

Posted: 3/25/06 at 6:47pmHa! I wish I could go...I HAD tickets for the 24th (yesterday) but, of course, they had to cancel it! DAMN

Oh! That sucks. (Pun intended.)
Bummer. I guess theres a nasty chance that if you do score tickets for an opening, that it very well just might be pushed back.

Posted: 3/25/06 at 10:30pmI'll be curious to read posts on the previews and compare Lestat to when I saw it in San Francisco. However, that was so long ago -- before Christmas -- so I hope I'll remember how it was originally.

I'm wary about how much I want to know. I'll hopefully be seeing in the summer. The thing is, that's so far off, and I figure I'll know it all by then anyway some way or another.
I enjoyed DRS more than any of the other shows that I saw on that trip. And I think it was because I was totally fresh to the show.

Ok just got home from work and I'm dying to know how the show went! The show should be finishing up in about 20 minutes or so?
Ah! I hope it went well! *crosses fingers* :)
