CercleRouge said: "Not sure why they are priced low. I'm going to go the theater before I pull the trigger on any StubHub tickets to verify who's on. I guess Daveed is out till Thursday. I can live without Daveed to be honest, he's not in any of my favorite songs. It wouldn't be worth it to me without Lin and Leslie though.

The first time I went to see the show the week Johnathan Groff was leaving, before I went to work, I swung by the theater to ask if anyone was scheduled off that day. The theater employees said to me Lin was back from vacation and that everybody should be in.  I asked again if anyone else was on vacation or scheduled off and the employees agreed that everyone should be in.  I buy the ticket 3 hours before curtain and when I get to the line to have my ticket scanned, the understudy board states Austin Smith for Washington and Andrew Chapelle for Mulligan/Madison.  BUMMER!  Chris Jackson and Oak were both on vacation.  I really enjoyed Andrew Chapelle.  I initially wasn't happy with seeing Austin as Washington but hearing him was great.  He doesn't have the stature Chris Jackson has on stage and in the role but he convinced me when he sang "One Last Time".  

Good luck CercleRouge in getting the golden ticket to the show.  I know that feeling of uncertainty and wondering if everyone you want to see will be in the show.

He's on Jimmy Fallon tonight though.

That's an OLD episode... 

"Daveed seems to be visiting Chicago. Is it because he'll be performing there? hmmm? :P"

 

No.

I was just kidding.

People should be more critical of the line-keeping and numbering system, though. Random selections from RRT security is a no-go, but the line numbering system is being monopolized by professional linesitters. How is that ethical? A bit inside-traderish, no?

Ethical? You must not be familiar with Jeffrey Seller.

I don't see it as particularly unethical, at least based on my three days in the line last week. The line sitters are the ones with the most experience with the line and working with the theater staff. The list was maintained very fairly while I was there, and the line sitter with the list didn't make judgements during disputes. He acted more as a mediator and let the people affected by a problem make the decision on how to resolve it. Besides those few people who live here and somehow have the time to do the line over and over again, I don't think your average person in the line would do as good a job organizing it.

Some of the stubhub tickets dropped to 299 right before showtime today. Anyone know why?  Darn work, I wish I could've jumped on one.

pretty random. used to happen regularly back in April.

 

"stand-ins"? Understudies, you mean? Thayne Jasperson is on as Laurens/Philip and Andrew Chappelle is on as Lafayette/Jefferson. I know that from Twitter.

This only happened the one time and hasn't been done since. While I was in line the theater employees said "we pick the first 20 people we see" but they only say that because they don't officially endorse the way the line policies itself. In reality, they pretty much follow the list because it makes their lives easier. On Saturday when there were tickets the first 20 people in line didn't take, the staff even asked us to go find the next people in line so she could offer them the tickets. Despite that, don't ask the theater staff about the list or try to argue with them about anything by using the list as a basis, that's more likely to get you kicked out of the line than anything else.

I just heard from my line buddy and it sounds like they are back to choosing randomly again for tonight. I'll post if I find out more details, but just wanted to reiterate not to take anything for granted and assume it will go a certain way, because it changed unexpectedly again. Tomorrow it will probably be back to the list, who knows?

I want to try to do stub hub for tonight but many of the tickets are being sold in pairs does anyone want to go in with me on a pair?
