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.

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.

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.

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.

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. 

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.

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

Allow me to share my personal Baker's Wife ranking:

 

1) Joanna Gleason

2) Amy Adams

3) Step. J. Block

4) Sara Bareilles 

5) Sutton Foster

6) Imelda Staunton

7) Kerry O'Malley

8) Literally anyone else who's played her

9) Emily Blunt

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. 

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