Jayne will be stepping into the show for 2 weeks in mid-August while Natascia is on vacation.
The show continues to be stunning. Absolutely brilliant. And it's a different show every night--having seen it several times now I can tell you it's a completely different show all the time--the ties between the characters and the actors are in constant motion.
Drew has been in for 2 weeks now and his connection to his costars just builds and builds. God forbid you should sit i the right mezzanine and see his face during "You are Not Alone--you can't help but cry."
Having now sat in...almost every section of the theatre I can tell you there are definitely NO BAD SEATS. Every seat affords you an amazing view with the exception of the first row left orchestra where, if you're sitting in the 2nd 3rd or 4th seats in, it's the tiniest bit obstructed, but not much at all--you won't miss a thing. The house manager and box office do a terrific job of seating people--and student rush is only $20, folks. Take advantage of it!
The other thing is--the cast, personably, is so splendid and so human and they truly understand the weight of the show--they're supremely nice people--Gay and Bob are less talkative, but if you're able to catch them after the show they're happy to talk to you. Gay, you might have a problem with because she speeds off on her scooter. If you're standing outside after and approach them, Drew will definitely stop to sign and chat, and Natascia can be very talkative--but on a 2-show day, she's real tired.
Plince! Plince! Nein! T-Rex!!
