You beat me to it this time, ACL2006.

Upon reopening, Jagged Little Pill welcomes two new leading ladies - Heidi Blickenstaff as opioid-addicted mother Mary Jane "MJ" Healy, and Morgan Dudley as MJ's adopted daughter, the creative, rebellious Frankie. A new swing and five new ensemblists also join the company upon reopening; they include Janine DiVita and recent NYU graduate Adi Roy, the latter of whom is making his Broadway debut as Phoenix. 

Who’s swallowing it down tomorrow night? If you are and have thoughts / reactions worth sharing below, you, you, you oughta post.

I was at the invited dress rehearsal tonight, which went off pretty much without a hitch. Heidi is stellar. A bit more sarcasm/sassiness then Elizabeth’s MJ, but still perfectly powerful and emotional at the right times with a stellar voice. The rest of the new cast members were also incredible and will only get even better, and needless to say, the returning cast members were spectacular.

Welcome back JLP! Can’t wait for tomorrow’s grand reopening!

Curious, do they still have Jo use they/them pronouns? I was wondering if after the backlash & tony win they'd cater the role to Lauren.

I saw this last year before everything shut down. And I wish I could un-see it. I love Alanis, but this show was ugly and a total mess. It made me really sad to hear what happened to the songs of my adolescence. Alanis sings, this show just screams.

Came here to ask this. 3 days ago, the rush general info. page said they had $40 rush at 10am. It's gone now, was planning on rushing in the morning

Box office numbers send you directly to the ticket website's support line I do live a few bus stops away, so next time I make it uptown, I'll ask.

There's someone posting on Twitter and it looks like roughly 20 people outside the theater protesting.

And how big was the protest for opening night of the newest West Side Story revival?

Their Instagram went live a few minutes ago for the Overture. The chorus is killing it and the audience is ELECTRIC inside the Broadhurst.

Can't wait to see this again. Probably not until mid-November.

110-120 people with the news covering it. It was an excellent night of protest for us on a now closed forever show.

Yeah. So strange that nobody’s protesting a show that has absolutely nothing in it worth protesting.

Are you implying that the protests closed the show? Because no.
