Yeah, according to my source, that’s one of the main concerns right now. They would have to close Aladdin or Frozen to open this."

Um. They'd also have to some EXTREME edits because of the fact that this is affiliated primarily with Public Works and the groups aside from the Equity Actors involved...I doubt this show would come to Broadway in its current form.

They'll try to go on and will hold the show as long as possible to wait for the weather to clear. I've been there where they performed through light rain, and when they stopped the show multiple times due to very bad weather but were then able to finish the performance."

They never cancel any park show before 8pm/curtain. They might hold the curtain or stop in the middle & restart where they left off. Luckily, this is 90-something minutes long so they can pull through the entirety even if there's a rain delay (unlike the 3 hours of Coriolanus where at a point you know they wouldn't be able to finish it.)

How is Jeff Hiller? having seen him in a bunch of other stuff this part seems absolutely perfect for him

It was a small role, but it definitely was perfect for him; he was hilarious.

Teaming up worked! CarmenA3 won the stand-by lottery tonight, and I was lucky enough to join her. Hooray for new theater friends! There were still a lot of people there tonight for the lottery; the weather didn't seem to hold anyone off (and it did turn out to be a beautiful evening). The crowd might have been slightly smaller than it was yesterday, but not by much. People did keep filtering into the theater until about 8:15pm, and it did look full.

The show was a lot of fun. It's not Broadway bound, but it was such a joyful evening and worked perfectly as a Public Works community production.

Yup! And it fits right in. The whole evening is very silly so it works.

Really such a joyous and fun show. The song tempos were much slower than the film (not to mention keys were lowered) so that threw me off a bit, but otherwise had an absolute blast. It's not perfect by any means, but it accomplishes exactly what it set out to do.

Tempo and key-changes?

Well, that seems like it would take the excitement out of the music.

You cast a show around performers who can handle the music, not the other way around

The key changes (especially for Zero to Hero) was a little distracting, but it works way better here than in Hunchback where the low keys took away the songs' gravitas.

I lost the digital lottery today (as well as the initial entries).

Will try standby this evening. Also available tomorrow and Sat. Anyone care to team up any of the days mentioned?
