And it was Ferrera's breakout role so no, I don't think it's weird to ask if she's been there to see it yet.

I said "kinda weird". It was 23 years ago, she has zero obligation to those involved, and she's working. So yep, kinda weird. This film is marketed towards women of all shapes, sizes, and colors which their commercials and merch reflect.It's a beautiful thing but no one is under any obligation to promote or attend based on their past.

Oh, and anyone who is stupid enough to comment that my perfectly understandable words are "non sensical"should take a class. Like any class. Perhaps they'll learn the words "a lot" are two separate ones. Kisses."

It actually is non-sensical to say it’d be weird the star of the film would come to see it when may film stars have gone to see the musical based on their film….. but hey, as usual, you’re the queen of the castle here and everyone must bow down

which happens all the time, and of which there are myriad examples. its perfectly commonplace and there is no doubt Ferrara was invited to see it amongst the various other celebrities that have been pushing it on social media.

This is a weird argument to have. Actors associated with productions- whether they were in previous incarnations of the material or simply are known to have relationships with people involved- are invited as part of standard PR practice and they often show up as their schedules permit. They don't always - Meryl Streep has yet to see DBH while Goldie Hawn and Isabella Rossellini both have, for instance- but the invites certainly go out. There's no requirement to for them to attend, it's at their discretion, but they certainly have little to lose but a few hours if they do so.

Considering the movie launched Ferrara's career and she has a background in theatre, it seems pretty likely she'll attend at some point. The production hasn't been running very long and we have no idea what her life has been like.

Almost as poorly sold as Tammy Faye towards the end of the run. Not quite as bad, but close.

America’s sweetheart and co producer of this show strikes again! Charming to the bitter end.

Serious question: read here that they are papering a lot. If so, what's the easiest way to obtain a ticket?
