well I don't know about why people seem to be out on a consistent basis. But the flu season is really bad right now so I imagine that is why many of them are out now.

It must be a really long flu season dating back to November.

Didn't want to start a new thread but for student rush are they still saying line up 3 hours before the box office opens or has that crowd died down some?

I think at least some of the call outs yesterday were because of the snow.

Regarding rush, if you're going on a weekday, I think you'd be safe with 8:30-9. Weekend really depends. Especially Sunday since the box office is 2 hrs later.

Have any of you Blonde regulars happened to ask Haven Burton if she is going on as Elle this Sunday? I'd like to catch her in the role if she is going on. Anyone know for sure?

I'm actually responding to my own question now...I stumbled onto LBB's official message board, where someone who seemed to be in the know confirmed for a poster that Haven was going on for both shows Sunday.

And...to sweeten the deal...Legally Blonde is up on TDF for a bunch of shows this week, including Sunday night. So, I'll be there Sunday evening.

Are you sure it's official? There hasn't been any announcement, and they could put Becky on...

I can't say anything for sure either way, but I have heard people in the cast talking about looking forward to her Elle, so...*shrug* take that for what you will.

Here is the post from the administrator of the site, who sounds like she asked someone about it:

Has anybody done TDF for Blonde on here? Where were the seats located?

[Anakela]

As per her website, Michelle Kittrell will be Brooke on the Saturday and Sunday that Nikki Snelson's on vacay:

Michelle will be playing the role of Brooke in LEGALLY BLONDE on Saturday March 22nd and Sunday March 23rd.

Guessing that means that Beth gets Wed/Th/Fri that week...

"Has anybody done TDF for Blonde on here? Where were the seats located?"

Last time I did it, I was Front Mezz Row A, three seats off the center aisle. I'm hoping for a similar location this weekend...

I don't know how much TDF tickets are, but broadwaybox has a LB discount right now, too, and you can get orchestra seats.

[adamgreer]

Posted: 2/25/08 at 6:55pm

TDF seats for this show are $38.50, after the handling fee.

So when is Kate Shindle's vacation? In his new mySpace bulletin Richard Blake posted-

LBB, Michael Rupert, Nikki Snelson and Kate Shindle will, I believe, all be on vacation in the next few weeks. :-P

the others I know we've all discussed here already- LBB is on vacay starting today, Michael Rupert from March 5th-9th (ps: Jerry Mitchell- Andy!Callahan? pls? kthx!!), Nikki from March 19th - 23rd. When is Kate's?

WORD. It's a full week, and cover was split four shows a piece last time Rupert went on vacation...do it again! I want to see Andy again.

[winter_sky]

Posted: 2/27/08 at 1:30am

I want to see him at all. I've heard such amazing things about his Callahan. It needs to happen ASAP, preferably with Becky as Elle and Bryce as Emmett...okay that might be reaching a bit.

I know this has probably been asked/answered a thousand times, but when does the remaining original cast leave?

Awww- I used to ask Santa for a Becky!Elle, Noah!Emmett and Andy!Callahan u/s trifecta, but I never got it.

Also never got that Hank Azaria or Mandy Patinkin either (everyone who gets this is my new best friend).

I know this has probably been asked/answered a thousand times, but when does the remaining original cast leave?

Nikki = most likely April 6. Everyone else is re-upped to summer.


Welcome back Tracy Jai!!

If Andy doesn't go on as Callahan during Michael Rupert's vacation, it'll be a crime.

Well friends Nikki's last day is officially April 6.

[Rentfan931]

Posted: 2/28/08 at 6:54pm

And most likely on April 6th the rest of the principals plan to leave too? I guess Im going April 6th to see the show again.

I saw Becky Gulsvig on as Elle last week and thought she was great. The understudy for Serena was good as well.
