I can't stress enough how incredible he is in this role. Do yourself a favor and go see him!

yeah the stage door was a mad house but Andrew Lloyd Webber (who even took pics!), Sierra and Norm all signed for as many people as they could.

I walked up and got a standing room ticket around 6:30 yesterday. They must have opened the doors late, because when I got near the theater at 7:45 the line was two blocks long. The show started around 8:10.

Historically I haven't been a huge fan of Norm Lewis, but he was really incredible last night. You could really tell he was giving it his all (and having the time of his life whenever he got to do the Phantom's malevolent laughter). The rest of the cast gave great performances as well (and of course Sierra Boggess was to die for). The audience was extremely engaged and enthusiastic, but not annoying, which is the perfect combination. I'm so glad I got to see it!

Wait, I thought her schedule said she wasn't doing Mondays. Does anyone have her schedule?

sorry if this has already been asked, but does anyone know for how long they will be in the show?

Not likely ro happen but would love if a highlights cast recording was made with these two.

Seems odd that either would take their respective roles, but I'm glad Lewis is doing it. I hope I get to see him towards the end of his run.

What is so odd?
It is a steady paycheck worth a few thousand dollars each week in a show in NO danger of closing and dgoing i to a season of there where neither would likely begin work on a new Broadway production for season, should they be offered one.
One of them is returning to a show and role that made her name, where she is the renounded / rich composer 's darling, where she has been asked to mark milestones and has received countless raves.
The other is playing a dream role in a show where he certainly will not be of reasonable age should a revival come around, where he is making history for the show and garnering much press, where he is guaranteed to be adored..
I see nothing odd here. I see two smart actors and smart business people.
