I was there this year for the first time. Wasn’t particularly difficult to snag a seat in the balcony. I saw empty seats so you probably could have gotten a ticket the day of the show.
I’m really curious to see if they’ll be releasing Sara Bareilles’ video of ‘Make Them Hear You’ from Ragtime. She was doing great up until she forgot the words.

This is the video I've been waiting for. Sad to know she mucked up, but I still would love to hear.

I've always thought it was weird because they get people who are currently under a strenuous 8-show-a-week schedule and ask them to belt and wail on their day off. Most of them probably would destroy these songs, but they were either vocally tired from the week before or saving their voice for their actual show the next night.
FYI, for Fairchild's Music & the Mirror, that's Robert LuPone as Zach.
A Chorus Line revival played its final Broadway performance on August 17, 2008. The tour played its final performance on August 21, 2011. A new non-equity tour started in October 2012 played its final performance on March 23, 2013. Another non-equity tour launched on January 20, 2018. The tour ended its US run in Kansas City and then toured throughout Japan August & September 2018.
If we're not having fun, then why are we doing it?
These are DISCUSSION boards, not mutual admiration boards. Discussion only occurs when we are willing to hear what others are thinking, regardless of whether it is alignment to our own thoughts.

Clever editing at it's best. It looks like the cut at around 2:45 takes us from her first try to when she got it right skipping over the valiant tries between. You can even hear the audience's enthuastic reaction shortly after she gets the verse right. Also absent from the video is her telling the audience that there weren't enough performers using lyric sheets that evening as a music stand was brought out for her - irony at it's finest.
Getting to see her do this here made me regret missing her in Waitress.
Is it possible to love Ethan Slater even more? Only knowing him and his voice from Spongebob, what an absolute delight to hear his "real" voice. So smooth, and matched with his impish sense of humor, he is just a charmer. Gavin and Wesley were also a joy to watch and listen to. Love the whole video, even the very, very end and Ethan's expression when he gets a tab behind on the trio's bow.
