I'm in love with Daniel Evans.

OOO, they're at "Vogue."


And, wait, what's that I hear about $20? Is that just the rush line?

Oh, I'm jealous of all you people who are going to get to see this production for the first time. It is so beautiful.

Also, if I linked my account with a friend, does that mean that I can pick up tickets for both of us? Or does he/she have to be there when I pick them up as well?

You know, what I really liked about that video is that its so nice to see the stars and director of a show seem genuinely EXCITED about performing. I mean Daniel Evans couldn't wipe the grin off his face the whole interview.

I am SO beyond excited to see this show.

Wait, let me review. Ring of Fire had a digital background I hear and got panned. SITPWG has one is cool? I don't get it. Or is is because its easier to make his art work appear that way?

Also how long is the run?

Also how long is the run?

Until April 6.

And I just want to squeeze Daniel Evans; he's like a chipmunk. And I'm a guy.

Pirate Queen had songs and so did Follies. As you may well know, ucjr, like many things in life, it's not simply having something that makes it good or bad. It's how you use it.

From all reports, the digital effects here are used with great creativity, humor and add greatly to the beauty of the work.

He is a doll!

I figure it may be the way they use the digital projections that make it a good show. Didn't they mention that the projections interact with the actors?

And about the 20 dollar tix, I thpught they were referring to the lotteries. I could be wrong. Can't wait to see it.

Just thought I would clarify a few things...

The $20 tickets that are for Roundabout's upcoming revival of SUNDAY in the PARK with GEORGE are available through HIPTIX (see the link via the Roundabout website). Secondly, the run of SUNDAY... at Studio 54 begins previews on Friday, January the 25th, opens officially on Thursday, February the 21st, and has been extended (and) selling tickets through Sunday, April the 27th (not the 6th as previously noted). As far as the 'Behind-the-Scenes' interview goes: I. ADORE. THOSE. TWO.

I heard somewhere (don't remember) that Jenna Russell can't extend after April. And if that's the case, it will hurt her chance of winning the Tony. And will certainly make it more difficult to renew, since this production is really about Daniel and Jenna (and the design).

Doesn't look all that likely, unfortunately. It's been covered in various other threads - Ms. Russell has stated she won't be able to work past the initial dates slated for the run - Unless, y'know, a miracle should happen...

- Anyone know why are there two Louise's? Are they going to be splitting the role, maybe matinees and evenings? Kelsey Fowler didn't need to share her role in Grey Gardens. Why now? Does Roundabout have different rules?
