Has anyone sat in the rear-ish orchestra center for this show and are they okay seats? Around row N? Is that area of the theatre fairly raked or more flat? I'm mostly worried about tall people in front of us. At the Jacobs, the seats start to rake more around row J which makes rear orchestra better sometimes. Wondering if the St. James is similar.

Just saw the show on Tuesday from Left Orch row O aisle seat 1 and I thought it was a good view. The large person in front of me did not block my view since the aisle is slightly curved and allows for an unobstructed view. I'd suggest piggy-back N & O1.

I got a row N centre orchestra seat for the Matinee on Wednesday (From TKTS, $74!!), and the view was great. The seats were well off-set from the row in-front. However, if you are short, you may have a bit of obstruction from heads two rows infront.

You know, I gave it deep thought, and Stephanie J. Block and Sebastian Arcelus are my favorite Baker's Wife and Baker. They gave the most emotional performances of their characters I ever saw.

For those interested, Heather Headley's show at Carnegie has a bunch of tickets newly available (previously all but sold-out except for balcony), just picked up two very good seats. If you miss out on the current availability, keep checking back on the website: donated seats come up all the time.

Does anyone know why there aren't any balcony seats available for this week's performances? I checked on Seatgeek and for some reason, the only available seats from 9/27 to 10/2 are in the mezzanine and orchestra. The balcony is once again available starting from 10/3. Are all of the balcony seats just sold out or did the show decide to close off the balcony for the week? I know other shows have closed off that balcony in the past, but it seems odd if they're just doing it for this week.

New montage... not liking Montego at all sad to say. Stephanie and Sebastian seem great. Krysta is definitely a different approach, but it's cute.

I don't have a musician's ear, but do these tempos seem slow?

After seeing clips of the new Block cast very thankful to have seen Bareilles, Soo & Headley in these productions.

Block is my favorite Baker’s Wife by far. Patina Miller, who I had my doubts with, brought comedy I didn’t know was possible with the witch. Rodriguez also brought comedy to Cinderella, which I felt Soo lacked.

Well I wouldn't pay $200-300 for what I'm seeing here.

I kind of like the way Stephanie sings “justify the beans” in that clip. I don’t think I’ve ever heard it not sung in head voice.

I LOVED SJB and Sebastian on stage but I have to say these videos don't really capture their chemistry, for some strange reason.

Anyone wining the lotto lately? Curious if it's relatively easy to win these days?

Kerry O’Malley belts the end of Maybe They’re Magic, so Stephanie‘s not the first. Is it me or does she sound a little raw in those new clips?

Watching the Montego Glover clip my first reaction was that she seems far, far too young to play this role. But then I looked up her date of birth and it turns out she is much, much older than I realised and one of the oldest witches. Gurl looks quite good for her age haha.

That's how I felt Stephanie was, too. Raw. It made her seem like an older, kind of exasperated, and most importantly, more emotional middle-aged woman trying to get a baby and have a happy marriage or some fun in her life...

Odd scheduling this week, but they have a show tonight and are dark tomorrow.
