Planning on it, though I hear it's much of a rehash of Fool Moon. Nellie McKay is also featured.

Fool Moon was before my time, so I'm excited to see this. But I actually heard that there's a bunch of new stuff, plus Nellie is obviously new. Excited to see it, and the trailer looks fun.

Nellie is a flat-out lunatic. No telling what she will do. Should be a blast. So glad it's extended.

saw it. loved it. highly recommend it.
I hear there is a lot of audience interaction. Can you confirm? I have a front row seat to this in a couple of weeks. Not the biggest fan of getting pulled into a show by the performers. Should I be scared?

If Shiner comes near you, you should be terrified. If he catches you using a camera or phone, run for your life.
I was dragged kicking and screaming to "Fool Moon," and I flipped over it. And I'm crazy about Nellie M. Sounds like fun.

Oh, I say go go GO! This is a don't miss! These guys are brilliant and there is no one like them.
Just do not, under any circumstances, exhibit a phone or camera. Never mind Broderick or LuPone. IF you get it back, it will likely be in pieces, and Shiner will mock you every step of the way.
Nellie sounds like a glorious addition to this pair.
I have no intention of pulling out a phone or camera at any performance of anything, but if I'm front row center, do you think I'm going to end up part of the show? That kind of thing makes me so freaking uncomfortable.

Shiner's a good reader of people - you'll probably be safe.
eta: honest, don't let the audience participation thing stop you. Go see this.

Matt, I was in the front row. You might be briefly engaged but unless even slight interaction bothers you, I would't sweat it. There is some more extensive "audience interaction" but, without giving too much away, it's nothing to worry about, and it enlists folks from all over the house.
I absolutely loved this show.
I disagree with the previous postings. If you really don't want to be picked to join the proceedings on stage - you need to get your tickets in the back half of the theatre.
