Something tells me Marshall will join the producing team of WARRIORS and complete his EGOT.

On TodayTix, you can bypass the queue on BroadwayDirect and tickets start at $166 for those dates. (Haven't gotten in to BD yet to see prices there yet)."

Do you get Audience Rewards points for purchases through TodayTix?

I'm tempted, but with limited time in New York would rather see new shows.

Tickets purchased through TodayTix don’t earn audience e rewards points.

Sutton Ross said: "I did hear that he and Lin used to have some beef but they don't seem to anymore.

They certainly did during the negotiations for the filming of Hamilton. When no one knows who will play Aaron Burr in the filming of this (which everyone knew was going to be huge in popularity) 12 hours before filming, it's kind of a big deal. So, that created a lot of tension but once they stepped away and time passed, they were able to be cool again.

This is excellent casting and a few others originals might join him, who knows?"

I would die if Renee came back as Angelica.

Jenna mentioned more surprises to come and Leslie didn’t confirm or deny anything. 
 

The performance I brought only has 11 seats left. It’s 2016 all over again. 🥲🥲

I think his near non-stop work over the decade since make it clear this isn't the case. I get that people don't like his attitude about Hamilton but this board has this desperate desire to see him humbled and it's like...no? We can all see the projects he's been in. He's doing fine?

Honestly, I’d think after his Tony win, he expected bigger success, but yeah, he’s been employed. Purlie Victorious got good reviews, and he’s done a few movies (the Knives Out sequel, the Sopranos prequel, etc.), but I wouldn’t say people outside theater know him. And the last movie was two years ago. Perhaps I’m wrong. He also put out a couple of albums, but I’m not sure how successful they’ve been.

Believe it or not, I’m a fan of his, so I wasn’t trying to be a jerk with my comment. He’s the highlight of Hamilton for me, but the stuff he’s done since just hasn’t lived up to that (for me). I do love his holiday album though.

You can disagree that he came back because he didn’t have much else lined up and maybe you’re right, but looking at his current projects, it does seem like it could veer that way. Although I’m sure the money was a nice persuader too!

I also have no idea why this board hates LOJ. He negotiated a more favorable outcome for himself and his cast members. Maybe he got a little hard-nosed doing it by holding the filming over everyones' head, but this is a tough business and you have to play hardball sometimes. People are also naive if they think LMM isn't just as tough and hard-nosed behind the scenes.
