^Can someone confirm what I heard that they sold standing room for $99? The minute I heard this, I had to think it might have been false.

I just watched the video of Brendon (it sounds great) and then looked up Stark. Definitely did not enjoy the vocals - very shouty, nasally, and toneless, but I know that's just preference... However, in the video it sure looked like Stark was acting the hell out of that song, in a good way.
Not a Panic! fan, also not a fan of this show (note: I saw Kinky with an understudy and I thought he was pretty good, show fell flat). Nonetheless, Brendon sounds good, curious about his acting chops. Unclear if the video is an indication or his interpretation of how he's actually going to perform it, since this sounds/looks like he's just performing a song like a singer and not acting it like a musical actor.
Just an update to my previous post - standing room is $30 not $99 and I definitely received bad information on that. I went to the box office and the box office lady was shocked when I said that and wanted to know where I heard such wrong information.
Anyway, back on the topic at hand, I saw the show tonight and Brendon was absolutely incredible. His acting and accent were lovely, and that voice is just undeniable. Some of the riffs he included here and there were just fantastic and I absolutely loved him.
It was also lovely to see the clearly there for Urie fans take to J Harrison as Lola and Taylor Louderman as Lauren, who were both wonderful. It was so nice (as someone else mentioned in the other thread) to see the fans of Brendon's take to the entire company. The energy was very high, and the fans were very respectful (and did react loudly to his entrance and the end of Soul of A Man). The stage door was an absolute zoo, but that's not shocking.
It was so good to be back after having not seen the show in awhile and see so much love filling the room for the show.
