For anyone going tomorrow, can you please post the Kim alternate schedule, if there is one?

I'm looking forward to seeing this over the summer! Probably my favorite show from the era of European blockbusters.

I'll be there on Wednesday for its first preview, very excited, will definitely report back. The nightmare scene is going to very poignant in the world we're living in, I'm sure the actors will have a lot to draw from to perform those scenes.

Hey guys. I will be front row center next week. Do you think this is too close? Is the stage raked like the original?

If we said yes, what are you going to do about it at this point?

Hopefully, they fixed a bit of the London staging where the hut was too tall and blocked the first Ellen/Chris scene from view for the first few rows.

LOL yes

I saw this version many times while it was revived in London, and only once not from the front row where the day seats were sold, and just about every single time during I Still Believe they'd be a rush or murmurs going "who is singing?"

Tonight's perf wasn't very heavily sold looking on Telecharge yesterday. Lots of room in the rear mezz. Wonder how it's selling overall?

Just remembering you've had an "and" When you're back to "or" Makes the "or" mean more than it did before

I walked up to the box office yesterday and was able to get a seat on the front mezzo for $64. They had plenty of availability. I'm wondering if folks are worried that this will be like the latest Les Miz revival where the new set and staging seemed to dull the impact of the piece? I mean, I'm going tomorrow but I'm worried I'm not going to like it nearly as much as the original staging which I thought was incredible.

I saw this production in London a couple of years ago and I don't think anyone will be disappointed by the staging. I thought the sets were beautiful and in no way detracted from the story, and Kim's Nightmare was staged very effectively.

I'm sure someone does, but it doesn't appear to be public.

I'd expect this to be up on TKTS frequently. It's available tonight at 40% off. I have to wonder if this would do better in a slightly smaller house?

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.
