Posted: 4/18/06 at 8:53amKatt, I'm not sure I understand your point. Darius IS a part of the OBC.

Posted: 4/18/06 at 10:44amNorbert was an US though... I don't know, maybe he'll be there, if Darius is going.

Posted: 4/18/06 at 11:44amThey have said from the start that 15 of the OBC were scheduled to perform that night, and there have been recent additions which would increase that number. You people seem to be defining OBC as only eight castmembers, and this is incorrect. OBC, by definition, includes everyone who was a member of the original cast. I'm not sure why some of you have the impression that it means only those who are in 'lead' roles. What difference does it make if Norbert and Darius were swings? Swings are every bit as much a part of the OBC as anyone else.

Posted: 4/18/06 at 11:49amWhat happens if they dont sell all the tickets. Also what happens with cancellations? Will they add these onto the lottery or do you think they will sell them at a discounted price?

Posted: 4/18/06 at 11:54amAbout 8 months or so ago, I heard on fairly good authority that IF the tickets weren't selling at the original prices, they would go down, but I have no idea if that's still true, if the tickets are selling well, or how much they would drop to. So... grain of salt.

As is Norbert...
If memory serves, Norbert was not *technically* in the original opening night cast. Didn't he replace David Driver shortly into the run? Either way, I've always considered him part of the original company

Posted: 4/18/06 at 1:35pmYes Becky, you're correct. Norbert was not part of the OBC as a swing.

well they have been discounted... there are a limited number of $500 tickets to the show, but they don't include party passes.

Is everyone really excited?
It's been leaked that about 400 ex-cast members are going to be at the benefit tomorrow to sing Seasons of Love... has anyone else heard this? Excited!

Posted: 4/23/06 at 9:13pmI'm excited, that's for sure. Though not sure which of the rumors to believe about what's going to happen. I'm trying to go in with a blank mind.
