Yep, I hope Allegiance is the next one (same producing group, too). Don't think there any other shows waiting to be released, so will be interesting to see what they get next..

I saw this back when it had their last fathom event and this musical really impressed me. Right This Way and Welcome Home (Finale) left me with my jaw on the floor. I never thought I would see this pro-shot again. Can't wait to rewatch it again.

Did you get to see it live too? Was wondering why it had such a short run

It truly was a beautiful show (I went on opening night, and then several other times before and after that), but it had the misfortune of opening during a stacked season (I'm pretty sure DEH was in the same season). It got lost.

I live in the Bay Area, so I didn't get to see it live. Though I did visit NYC that March and took some photos of the marquee as my tour bus drove past it.

It wasn't nominated for many Tony Awards, most notably Best Musical. It did win Choreography, but you don't really sell tickets with a choreography Tony. It got a slight push thanks to a great Tony performance and introduction by Jill Biden, but it didn't last long after that, and it closed that September. That was a really competitive Tony season, too - including Dear Evan Hansen, Come From Away, Great Comet, and many others. Corey Cott and Laura Osnes weren't nominated either, just because of how packed the season was."

Thanks for the context. Makes sense given the season. Either way, i'm always excited to hear Laura Osnes in anything.

I’m glad they are going to provide extras with cast members, but I really wish they would release a blu ray dvd with the extras for those who would like to own it (or even to buy instead of just renting streaming for a limited period. Does anyone know if this is being considered?

Have now seen this show for the first time via this stream and AAH. I LOVED IT. Living far away from Broadway, the number of times I've listened to a cast recording and gleaned hints about a show from various sources, then eventually got to see the show in some production or format and thought "it's nice to finally see this, but... meh." I have wondered before if I'm really a fan of theatre, or if I actually just like the audio experience of storytelling through music, and the visuals etc of the stage aren't so much my thing. This was one of those times that reaffirmed that yes, I really do love this sh*t when it's done well. Corey Cott - what a performance! Not to mention the quadruple, or whatever, threats playing the rest of the band. And yes, GrantGrant, 'Right This Way' and 'Welcome Home (Finale)' were fantastic.

Watching now. The fact that neither Osnes nor Altomare got Tony nominated in 2017 is something that befuddles me to this day.

It really is just not a good show. That was the consensus among critics/audiences then, not sure why it’d be different now. I saw it towards the end of its run and truly was just blown away by how misguided it was. The plot being about nothing other than veterans wanting a....train ticket? That they think should be included when you’re in the army? Their anger and desperation for that ONE thing was so off-putting to me, it blockedme from looking beyond the mediocre music/book writing and fine performances. The whole show attempts to be emotionally manipulative and I (and apparently many) just weren’t here for it."

If you think the entire plot was about the veterans wanting a "train ticket", then clearly you need to watch it again.

Sutton Ross said: "Yep, clearly all the main themes went over that dude's head. If anyone thinks their numbers are based on this thread, they are sorely mistaken. Most fans of Corey Cott are young, and do not post on this website. Laura and Corey have hundreds of comments from fans about how much they love it, and my friend who works at Playbill said it's doing really well. Not like "Stranger Things" well, but pretty great for Playbill."

Really happy to hear it's doing well! Wondering what other shows they're planning for this series.

Anyone know if there is a compatible app available to stream Bandstand (and other Playbill offerings) on streaming devices, such as a Roku?
