Despite his protests that he never would, is anyone truly surprised? I'm sure he'll still be excellent.

I mean, it's been a poorly kept discussion, but it's very exciting to have it confirmed.

YAWN. I doubt it's going to do a darn thing for the box office. He's not a huge star.


Let the producers worry about that. Do you really base the potential quality of a performance based on what it will do for sales? (Clue: no)

JCM could end up being the last Broadway Hedwig before they close it. The Visit could take the Belasco.

Every Hedwig is said to be the last Hedwig before it closes, and every show that closes is the obvious venue for The Visit.

I'd been telling myself that I'd eventually make it to this show before it closes, but this will get me there. Not a well kept secret, but still how exciting!!

I am a firm believer in serendipity- all the random pieces coming together in one wonderful moment, when suddenly you see what their purpose was all along.

Forgive me because this is kind of a silly question, but would the 8-week engagement end on March 11 or March 18? I didn't see an ending date in that article and I'm not sure whether January 21 or 28 would be considered "week 1."

I'm going.

Fantod and Dreaming--you have no way of knowing just how important his performance and the original production were to many of us. It wasn't only just a play and only just an actor...it was the world bursting open and changing.

Sounds like you need to reschedule your trip.
