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

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.

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!

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
