Will be seeing this one on May 9."

I think Tempress Chasity Moore is the most likely. I also would not rule out Sydney Harcourt because they’ve definitely beefed up his stage time from off-Broadway.

One thing to note is that you won’t find CATS competing for the undercard awards (OCCs, DDs) since they’ve already competed last year and so likely only new elements (of which there aren’t many) would be considered. Same with TITANIQUE. 

The newer musicals will have their own little buzz period, but I expect CATS to clear the board in most categories for nominations. (Revival, F. Actor, F. Actress, Costumes, Lighting, Sound, Orchestrations, Choreography)

Speaking of seating, I sat second row mezz stage left and for a good deal through TodayTix.  Pretty close to the aisle, but the seat was perfect!  Or, should I say: purrrrrrfect.

....I'll see myself out.

I scored a late afternoon rush ticket the other evening. The seat was Orchestra, House Left and noted it was a partial/obstructed view seat. For the most part, it was a pretty good view of most of the performing area, but any action that happened on the Stage Right audience section and stairs was obscured. You also do not have any view of the DJ in the booth/House Left Box. I'm not sure if the viewpoint would be similar from House Right, but Gus spends a great deal of time lording over the proceedings from a Box on the right side of the Mezzanine + more stage business happens Stage Left.

As for front mezzanine seating, better view from house left or right?

I don’t think it really matters if you’re in the first two or three rows.

As someone who saw it multiple times downtown, from the right mezz seats by the dj and both the left and right sides of the runway, I found the Broadway staging disappointing, which may have been due to my seat. I wanted to do side mezz but my friend wanted more of a deal, so we did side right orchestra, either row F or G, on the end for $59. The view was fine, but after the downtown experience of feeling immersed in the show, this felt very distant, very much watching something happening away from me, even though we could see most of it clearly and the cast members were using a curtain a few feet away. It may not feel that way if you didn't see the PAC staging so are experiencing it for the first time, but if you have, I'd recommend avoiding the far side orchestra.

The fact that they removed the makeout session between RTT and MMM is homophobic lol. I was looking forward to it so much.

The one letdown lol

I just got out and this last year and a half has done Tempress's voice so f*cking good. She legitimately sounded amazing tonight.

It was there in early previews. Considering sucknessbgoing around the cast and that people have been in and out, I think it’s just a temporary thing until everyone feels better.
