I LOVE this show and the absolute last person I want to hear singing LOST IN THE WILDERNESS is Jordan Fisher

Lost in the Wilderness is way more in his range than Johanna…
Nolan is excellent casting

It's a wonderful score.
I wonder if they will keep the original doublings of Adam/Noah and Eve/Mama Noah?
That Chicago concert production never actually happened, right? Lewis was announced as Father in that, too.

It did with a whole different cast. Heard it was a bit of a mess though, but those producers were certain their production was "broadway bound"... in Chicago

Because things in Chicago don't transfer to Broadway...all the time?

As I said on the KARATE KID thread this morning...every show is bound for Broadway until suddenly one day it isn't 
If this had a real director and producers attached (for either production), that would be one thing, but I can't put a ton of faith in these people sight unseen.
Jordan Fisher also gives me pause. Can't think off the top of my head who I might prefer, but LOST IN THE WILDERNESS slaps so hard and needs a guy who can sing the heck out of it.

When it's being done by producers with 0 Broadway experience and word in Chicago was it was a mess on stage and off... yeah
Note: this is a different concert production than the chicago one

What? Maybe if he doesn’t do the runs. Sorry, he doesn’t have the range. I’m sure he’s a nice guy, but he had poor attendance in this and his previous Broadway bow. Like Wayne Brady who has a similar history, I don’t understand why he’s become a go to.

I think he will show up, given it's just one night. A Twitch convention may trump it tho!

I hope that the Jekyll & Hyde concert that was announced during (and later postponed) during the pandemic still happens at some point.

Just a heads up here that tickets are on sale now. Didn’t see any announcements about it until I randomly saw an ad pop up on Instagram.

$105 for the cheap seats? No, thanks. I love when ridiculous pricing decides whether or not I'm going to see something.

Started seeing a **** ton of ads today and decided to check out the ticket prices...
3rd Tier $150-$105 for that far back???? Insane. Accessibility found in a ditch. I know it's Manhattan Concert Productions BUT STILL.
Will either wait to see if they go the LincTix available route or prices go down. A shame. I can't buy an advance ticket for this during the holiday sales season. I don't have extra expendable income, producers... RIP

To anyone who saw the previous concert staging, how was David Phelps as Father? I don't usually like his material, but the guy has the kind of voice that DOES make you believe in God. (However, his absolutely demented Christmas song about stalking Santa Claus is a must-hear.)

Black Friday sale available through November 27 for 25% off select seats with FLOOD25. It looks like the lowest price comes to $112.50 for center of the third tier or sides of the second tier. The lowest prices otherwise are $105 for obstructed view on the sides of the third tier.
