Last lotto was reportedly about 400+ persons for 20 total tickets, which was 11 folks selected ... 9 winners chose 2 tickets and 2 winners were solo."

Move the darn lotto to online please and thank you"

Yeah... most of the 400 plus lotto folks arrived dressed-up for the show, too.  So about 380+ folks stood there in full dress-up and had masks on hoping.

Forgive me if this was discussed, but has there been any mention of a cast recording? I think it would be nice to have at least Hugh, Telly and Nik for a number or two.

Maybe it works better live in the venue, but that GMA didnt sell me at all. Good as the performances are, it just looked a bit cheap and tacky.

OMG. just watched it to see what you were talking about it, and it looks completely ridiculous. clearly they told the interactive "audience" to get involved, and most of them took it too far. several of them make the most outrageous shocked faces, many grab their hearts as if they've had their emotions burst open, and at one point there's a woman literally shaking. it's actually hilarious

I believe this is the video being discussed. I thought it looked fine. I'm glad they did this.

That’s not the cast “oohing and aahing.” Those are the fans they got as volunteers for the performance, and it’s pretty true to how they behave in the show. All in all, bright studio lighting aside, I’d say that’s very close to the feeling of being there live - for better or worse.

Was that Nik Walker as the Phantom?
