Superboy and the invisible Girl makes me bawl like a baby EVERY time.


Re: discount codes ---- has anyone seen if anything has been extend PAST the dates of the Tonys?

BTW....it IS on TDF for at least a few dates. (Which of course I did NOT check before buying a ticket for tomorrow!)

Saturday at 2 and Sunday at 7:30...both with the double asterisks.

Haven't heard of any code past the Tonys, which as much as I love the show and higher prices limit the times I can see it, still makes me happy. I'll gladly see it less frequently if they are able to sell more full-price seats to it! :)

I suggest the entire CD as well.... and playing it until it melts !!!! :))

[jordangirl]

Posted: 5/29/09 at 7:41am

Or do both! Download it AND get the CD! That way you don't have to play the CD and can just play and play the digital version! :)

"Re: discount codes ---- has anyone seen if anything has been extend PAST the dates of the Tonys?"

The Playbill.com code is good through July 5th.

Also, the nexttonormal.com/friendsandfamily code says it is good through June 7th, but actually gives dates through July 5th when you search on Telecharge.

Does the double asterisk refer to the number of TDF seats available, or the quality of seat that will be given out?

[jordangirl]

Posted: 5/29/09 at 11:35am

It means limited quantities.

Wow. In the most encompassing of ways.

Was at the Sat matinee, in the third row, and totally blown away. I don't know if the seat had anything to do with it (I was in the front row Mezz last time) but I was so incredibly drawn in and affected. My face was raw from wiping away the tears.

The cast was on fire and the audience was incredibly responsive. Hootin' and hollerin' whenever given the chance during the applause. The outpour of love was incredible.

While I believe that N2N will last the summer, I still have hopes it will find an audience and last at least through Jan. I truly think this this is the best new Musical of the year...and will be optimistically holding my breath for it on Tony Night. Dreams can come true! (Still bitter about Tveit not being nominated.)

I was at the matinee yesterday too. It was an especially intense performance! Even though I've seen the show many times, the way certain lines was delivered yesterday literally made me jump, gave me chills, or made me cry.

The audience was amazing too... lots of applause, cheering and crying!

[dramamama611]

Posted: 5/31/09 at 9:54am

I'm glad I'm not the only that found the performance to particularly riveting yesterday!!

aww I really hope i can get tickets through TKTS for next sat night's performance (June 6)

Next Saturday evening's show has extremely limited availability right now, and I imagine rush will be out of control that day.

I saw the show again yesterday afternoon.

Fantastic as usual but there were entire rows of the orchestra that were empty.

[adamgreer]

Posted: 5/31/09 at 3:56pm

there were entire rows of the orchestra that were empty.

I find that very difficult to believe, since I was repeatedly unable to get tickets to the matinee yesterday, either online or at the box office.

[WiCkEDrOcKS]

Posted: 5/31/09 at 4:00pm

The entire row in front of me was empty (Row N, stage right) as was a row on the other side of the theater, not to mention the empty seats in the mezzanine. And a handful of empty seats scattered through the rest of the Orchestra.

A woman moved from the last row into the row in front of me because no one was sitting there and almost completely obstructed the woman sitting next to me's view for the second act.

It has been pretty crowded every other time I've seen it recently so maybe some people had purchased tickets and didn't show up? Whatever the case, there were a bunch of empty seats including two whole empty rows that I could see.

I was there yesterday....I didn't see an empty seat in the orchestra. Admittedly, I could not see the mezz.

However, I know that about an hour or so before curtain, they were still selling tix AT the box office for the matinee.

My guess is that Sat nite is going to be an amazing show !!!!

Testing1232 I hate this! I'm really hoping that there are tix for the sat night show at tkts! ahh

Hey! Well I bought 3 songs off of iTunes. "Just Another Day,""Superboy and the Invisible Girl,"and "I Am The One."


Let me tell you that I just can not stop playing these songs over and over again! I'm pretty sure I'll be getting obsessed with this show for, well, forever! I plan on buying the CD, but the problem is that the Borders that I live next to literally slashed their musical CD selection in half. They really don't like putting out the new musicals unless they end up winning a bunch of Tony Awards. Plus in order to ship in a CD, you have to have a credit card now (which I do not have.) Instead of the usual just give us your name and email, and it'll be here by next week. I'm going to check Barnes&Noble, and if they don't have it, then I'll just have to wait.

I am serious though. If I even spot one copy, JUST ONE! I will pay for it with nothing but change (and the last time I did that was when I grabbed a copy of The Last 5 Years.)

Speaking of The Last 5 Years, I was surprised to see that Norbert Leo Butz and Sherie Renee Scott had done demos of the show, except the show used to be called Feeling Electric. I love listening to the demos on youtube.

[steven22]

Posted: 5/31/09 at 4:44pm

Sherie sounded AMAZING in the demo...i would love for her to play Diana on bway...
