Fontana, Boggess & Sieber in THE GOODBYE GIRL Off-Broadway — Page 2

^ a bit like “Nick & Nora”, another show I’d love to see someone take a crack at.

Add “Starmites” to the list. That was a weird one. Check out their Tony award number. Heehee

I’m so mad I didn’t know about this in time! All of the shows are sold out now. Love the cast. Can’t wait to hear about it from those lucky enough to get tix.

I have a ticket I can't use for the matinee on Sat, 5/20. M6 aisle seat. I can email the ticket. Face value.

If anyone ends up with an extra ticket/ticket they can’t use, please let me know!

I went yesterday afternoon. Fontana was out (might've been one of his scheduled days off. I subscribed to their season and booked my ticket before any cast was announced. I know he had a performance or two he had scheduled off).

It's a charming show. Not the greatest thing in the world but very winning. It's a very small space and of the 3 shows this season, this production felt the fullest/most complete.

Boggess seemed possibly slightly miscast, but certainly has star quality she brought to the stage. It was very good work from her. Sieber is hysterical. It was all terribly likable even if the show isn't going to be remembered as a masterwork in the cannon.

I saw the second performance on Friday night, 5/12. I was probably one of the few people in the audience who had seen the original 1993 production (except for lyricist David Zippel who is directing this show). I was surprised that Santino was out (I couldn't find any mention of a scheduled absence except for the first performance). It's a cute production in the small space, but I have the original one still seared into my memory, and this one seemed to have less laughs for me. The teens in the row behind me were giggling, talking to each other, coughing, and crinkling snack bags (for most of act two). Even with patrons in my row turning around and asking them to be quiet, they continued to be disruptive. Turns out they were friends of one of the young actors (there are three).

It was nice to hear the songs/music again. Great to see Sierra Boggess and Christopher Sieber. There was a cast talkback, and Christopher was the best part (Sierra was not able to attend).

Apparently Santino is going to be out for the rest of the performances. I called to see if any tickets had become available (I don’t live in NY so I can’t take advantage of the waitlist) and the BO rep mentioned it.

I’m happy for Dan Deluca unexpectedly getting to play Elliot the whole run, but wondering what the hell happened to Fontana.

Which was what?

Anyone know the approximate running time?

verywellthensigh said: "Which was what?"

Santino only had a one year contract with the CW, so he was always going to leave. He doesn't spend years doing the same project most of the time. The following year (2017) he did the industry reading for Tootsie and continued to work on that until it premiered in 2018.

Bringing his character Greg back with Skylar didn't work, and the show was already on its way out anyways, but there was no drama or bad blood with Rachel.

He was obviously advertised heavily for this show and it's a shame for people that really wanted to see him. I think he's doing some concerts if you want to catch him though.
