Yes. There's also a new radio interview with Radcliffe, Groff and Mendez:

I thought it was a splendid production. Well directed and acted. Past productions I have seen have had me looking at my watch. This was far superior. There has been a trend on Broadway in recent years that every show gets a standing ovation, I think primarily because people have spent so much money. But for this production it was well deserved. I think it will be nominated for a healthy amount of Tony awards. Groff will be hard to beat.

Sorry if this has been posted before but does anyone know if Corey Mach will be playing Franklin in April when Geoff is off?

Jonathan will be out on Tuesday, April 16 through Wednesday, April 17. I imagine those are Corey's scheduled dates.

Anyone have a current total of how many performances Mendez has missed thus far? The other board is suggesting it’s 40. But it has to be close to 60, no?

I'm looking into getting tickets later in the run, maybe around June. Does anyone think we'll see any of the current three leads leave before then?

Highly unlikely, all three are contracted through July.

In an Instagram story today Corey Mach wrote that he has some dates in April as Frank but can’t announce which dates they are until two weeks out, when they may be sold out.

I'm assuming you've been following this thread and know there's no way to predict when Lindsay will be in the show for any given performance.

Looking to purchase tickets as a gift and have a quick question about seating.

I have the option of Orch Row H center or Dress Circle Row A center. Wasn't sure which way to go as I couldn't figure out what row the Dress Circle over hangs the orchestra.

Thanks.

Nice gift! 

I’m  anal and keep track of seats i sit in for any show i go to.  I prefer the dress circle - have been in rows A and B and thought they were great. I noted that row A was perfect.  But I sat in L110 in the orchestra and thought it was very good.  But I prefer the mezz.  I saw Merrily from row B center dress circle.

I'd go with Orchestra Center H. Worth it to observe Groff's affect change throughout the show.

This has been asked before, and, to me, it looks like it overhangs rows M-N. In the pic below, I put a white line through row H:

I appreciate the help/info. I ended up going with Orch Row H Center.

Thanks. :)

Full page ad in tomorrow's 2-part NYT A&L Spring Preview. Emphasis on the three leads. Wish they'd put an asterisk next to Lindsay's name.

If there have been absences, it hasn’t affected the chemistry between the leads at all. They were all in  for the matinee this past Wednesday and, my god, they work well together. This is such an electric production.

What’s Lindsey’s attendance record been lately?  Still missing 3-4 performances a week?

Much better lately. Has attended all shows so far this week. Missed two shows each week in the previous two weeks.

I was at the matinee yesterday and forgot to look at the board on the way in. I asked a staff member if she was in the show and their response was “ shockingly. Yes she is.” It made me laugh and I think once the words came out of their mouth I think they were shocked that they said it.

Lindsay was in the matinee today and thank goodness. She was awesome! I think she's on par w/ Groffsauce in superior technical singing and acting. I wished she took over "Not a Day Goes By" for Katie. I think it was okay Act 1 song. I know she's supposed to be emotional singing it, so it goes both flat and sharp in parts of the song. But she didn't act that emotionally nor was she crying. Obviously, I preferred the song in Act 2 when both JG and Lindsay join in.
Krystal Joy Brown is trying all her might to get a Featured Actress nom. I think she and Radcliffe were great if not a little one note the entire play. Ensemble was perfect.

Lindsay's attendance has improved and she was at all shows for the past two weeks and all three shows so far this week. She has missed 55 shows in the Broadway run.

I should try that with my place of work and see how it flies.
