I was seeing "into the Woods" on 42nd and noticed that there was a red carpet in front of the Lyric Theatre going into On The Town. Was there someone famous in the audience? Or is this a promotion?
I know they just celebrated 100 performances, maaaybe it had to do with that? I don't recall other shows doing that so I'm not sure.
Oh! Hm. Yeah, it just seemed odd. Maybe it's for something tomorrow? I mean it's not like they're making a ton of money, but then again, maybe they are.

It was for The New 42nd Street Gala, connecting the Lyric and the New Victory, honoring John Lithgow and the Rudin family.
