Yeah, definitely distracting while the show was going on.

At least no flash photography today as I'd seen at other shows this week.

So it appears the one negative with show's reopening nights is people filming and taking pictures. Heard about it with Hamilton, Wicked, Lion King, Waitress, Hadestown. Will probably continue unless the "no filming rule" is actually adhered to.

Here's another angle from the curtain call and speech a friend sent me:

I was also at Waitress but didn’t see anyone filming or anything. Otherwise all of my theater trips have been amazing! I wish people would respect the actors and other audience members but I guess that’s too much to ask

Oh god. I’m sorry!! Audience members have no respect.

And while all of you went to a live theater and had to put up and tolerate your obnoxious and rude selves. I just had to open up a bottle of Cabernet Sauvignon, grab my remote…click on my AppleTV+ app on my 4K UHD Smart TV and enjoy this show without having to put up with any of the bullish!t I’ve read on this thread…

Someone spit in your wine? Stop. We can comment on what happened tonight. Why so rude?

Well, you're all kinds of rude. Nothing compares to seeing a show live. I also saw the Apple TV+ version. It was beautifully done but the energy that was in that theater last night can't be felt through your TV.

Went to the show tonight and was just as moved as I was the very first time I saw it. It just hits different live than it does on tv and especially with a sold out audience. The cast is still visibly emotional by the reactions they’re getting which just makes me even happier to be back.

He is not in the cast anymore.

James Seol plays those roles now. He was excellent! Loved seeing an Asian man in the role, as well as Pearl Sun in the cast. I had no idea she was in this!

Pearl Sun was an standby/understudy for much of CFA's run. She is currently covering the role(s) originated by Petrina Bromley, who will be returning.

Please help me with choosing seats for Come From Away. I'm trying to decide between center mid-rear mezzanine, side orchestra (seats in row L 13, 15) and I even consider rear "partial view" seats in mezz row A, which don't look so bad at all especially at $49. I spent significant time on View from my seat but still can't decide. TDF offers mezzanine tickets but there's no way of knowing which part of mezz.

Please help!

I've sat in those partial view seats. You miss very little.

At today's matinee of Come from Away, every audience member was given a $200 American Express gift card by an anonymous donor. What an amazing surprise!

Actually, everyone in the building, from ushers to actors, also received the $200 gift card. The staff, crew, and actors were also given free dinner.

When you think about the show, one of its main themes is paying it forward and to be kind. The anonymous donor was very generous and hopefully the audience/crew/staff/actors will pay it forward especially during this time of Thanksgiving.

There's a line at the end where the owner of the company gives $100 each year to his employees just to pay it forward.

It is true and it was lovely. We had a nice catered meal served to us during our break between shows. I mean, depending on the show there are times this time of year when the powers that be do this (depending on the show) and it’s always an enjoyable thing for everyone when it does happen. We al enjoyed it. 

But, (and this falls into the category of one man’s trash being another ones treasure ) we think that the reason why ushers got cards is that the benefactor thought it was going to be a full house but it sadly was far from. Yet, at the same time, I am not complaining
