Flying Over Sunset is starting previews tonight. Curious to hear any first thoughts for this show with so much unknown.

I’ll be there, as well. This is my most anticipated new musical of the season.

"I’ll be there, if it actually happens."

I hope it does for young boy in the show (Atticus Ware) who will be making his Broadway debut. I have mentioned a few times my oldest daughter is his tap teacher in Charlotte NC.

I'll be there tomorrow if all goes as planned. I spoke to a performer I know in the company last night and it seems to be very high stress over there right now. Wishing them all the best tonight.

They would normally be stressed anyway just because it is the first performance. The virus thing and wondering if this show will ever have a chance to officially open is adding to it sadly.

I had tickets to see this on the 28th through Linctix. On the website, they are saying that they are just doing refunds. I see that I cannot purchase a ticket at all now because it says I already used my purchase for that production. I'm guessing this will change after they do refunds?

This was set to be a limited run. Hoping Broadway is back up & running by April 13. I just hope this show doesn't get nixed because of their limited run.

I didn't realize this was a limited run until yesterday. I don't think I had seen the end date before then. If the theater doesn't have anything else lined up, perhaps they can adjust the dates of the run once Broadway reopens?

It usually resets when the refund is processed.

i had a ticket for Sunday  

someone chime in: does the fact that LCT is not-for-profit and in total control of its own schedule mean this is likely to survive, ie open in May and run for a few months (but maybe with different cast, as needed)?

Someone in the cast wrote they’re looking forward to their new spring opening. So that’s hopeful.

[Jordan Catalano]

Posted: 3/12/20 at 9:24pm

I’ve been curious if anyone was at the dress rehearsal.

[SouthernCakes]

Posted: 3/12/20 at 9:33pm

Yeah I’d love to hear some word!

That is good to hear. I wonder if they continue to rehearse or the cast takes a bit of a break.

[Jordan Catalano]

Posted: 3/12/20 at 9:45pm

Well two cast members from two yet to open shows wrote that they have three weeks off, so I’m guessing that means they’re planning to come back a week before.

We could all pretend we were there tonight, and describe in elaborate detail what we “experienced.”. We could all use a break from reality. One of those “and then...” games. Everybody gets one sentence at a time. I’ll start:


My favorite part was when Carmen Cusack rode a giant unicorn that shot acid from its horn into the five front rows of the orchestra. And then...

[Jordan Catalano]

...and I’ll be very honest here, I didn’t expect James Lapine to use the exact same choreography from his “Annie” revival here. It made zero sense to see Tony Yazbeck doing the “Little Girls” choreo while peeing his name in fake snow while Jeremy Kushnier threw knives at fake babies tied to a spinning wheel.

The merchandise stand is selling “Have a Great Trip!” tote bags.

The ushers were giving out First preview LSD.

I just would love to see the show curtain or something!!! It’s exciting having a brand new cold open on Broadway!

[Miles2Go2]

What the curtain looks like depends on how hard you’re tripping

I heard a cast member at the stage door say that they are making a cast album that if you play backwards becomes a trippy soundtrack to An Affair to Remember.
