Ive been SO sad this week that Beth isnt on Broadway at the moment. I think the Broadway Gods sensed that and today she announced a run at 54 Below and Im gonna make a special trip up there just to see it! What do yall think her next musical should be? Shes just too good not to be on stage!!

Do you think now that The Prom's closed, there's any chance of Beth or any of the other cast members going on tour?

Highly unlikely but it would be incredible for the original cast to open the tour in Atlanta!

Question about seating at 54 Below... I’ve never been. It says VIP starts at $125. What does VIP include?

It's opening in Newport, Rhode Island but I agree that would be so cool if it opened in Atlanta.

Does anyone know the best way for me to get a message to Beth? Since The Prom is closed I don’t know where to send it!

All seating at 54 Below have the same cover charge and order from the same dinner menu. The difference is in location of tables.

Ringside includes about four tables right up against the stage and the next row of tables one table away from the stage and in front of the stage. VIP tables are mostly in front of the stage but with the two levels of Ringside ringside tables in front of than.

When you go to buy tickets they’ll have a seating chart. They allow videos without flash and Ringside makes that easiest.

Providence, RI--Newport doesn't really have a theatre that could handle a national tour, especially for a musical! All the houses in Newport are much more intimate venues, usually used for concerts or stock productions. PPAC is the Rhode Island touring house! We've been getting a few national tours launching here in the past few years, which is great because we used to be one of the cities that ended up getting tours only after they'd gone non-Equity, or else at the very, very tail end of a loooooong tour. The Band's Visit launched here last year and was incredible, for instance, and I think that Cats started its tour here in the winter of this year.

As for Ms Leavel, I've always wished she would reprise her run as Dolly in Hello, Dolly! (she did it 2014 at the Muny in St Louis). She was phenomenal in the Muny production and I always thought she'd be great in a tour of the show (maybe if there's a year 3 after Carolee Carmello steps down? A guy can dream, right?). She is probably the most comic Dolly I've experienced aside from Bette Midler.

I went to new york a week before The Prom closed I was a little stunned that she didn’t win also and was very interested to see how Stephanie J Block was in the Cher show to best Beth ! And I can honestly say Stephanie deserves that Tony and I’m very glad she won. Beth was obviously phenomenal as well and she would’ve been a great winner this year for it but Stephanie really knocked it out of the park with the Cher Show!

Question... I’m seeing Beth three nights in a row...will the show/special guests be the same each night?

Does anyone know what albums Beth appears on? Not much comes up when she’s searched on Apple Music.

I went to the Friday show in San Francisco. She didn't drop any news of any upcoming Broadway appearances, alas! But she was absolutely hilarious, and I highly encourage those in New York to see her upcoming 54 Below show.

(For those curious, she sang Some People, Before the Parade Passes By, It's Not About Me, The Lady's Improving, and a bunch of other stuff I don't remember).
