Ok, I think we've had enough of The Last Five Years (well, I certainly have). But this is an interesting line-up of shows to me.

Anyone else having issues with the 2nd stage I site? I bought L5Y tix. Couldn’t find 30U30. And NTN isn’t even listed on the calendar.

They're only selling NTN tickets to Subscribers and Champion Level donors apparently

I was able to get 30U30 tickets to The Last Five Years. Bummed that Next to Normal is subscriber only.

I couldn’t find the 30U30 option for L5Y...
Sad about NTN.

When I first got onto the site it let us choose our seats and the 30U30 were only in the last row!

While I'd love to see SATURDAY NIGHT, I'm not paying $85 for a concert.

Any casting rumors yet? I'm going to N2N and can't wait to hear who will perform.

I ended up purchasing a subscription. I’m going to NTN and L5Y. Would love to hear the casts...

Any casting news on any of these shows?  LAST FIVE YEARS is less than 2 weeks away.

I was looking at the site today out of pure curiosity and noticed the released more 30 Under 30 seats for all 3 shows open to the public! 

I was able to get one for Dogfight!

I called the box office today and was told there were no more. Now looking online, I can't seem to get the code to work. Did you just do 30U30?

You don't need a code, but if you're looking for Dogfight specifically, I think they're sold out of the 30 under 30 seats. Saturday Night seems to have a lot of them at the moment and L5Y has two in the side box. If you hover over certain seats there's the regular price and the 30 under 30 option.

I am honestly surprised 2nd Stage didn't try to move the N2N concert to the Hayes, especially considering its the show's 10 year anniversary of opening on Broadway. This is partially selfish reasons as I can't/couldn't afford a subscription and tickets, but also considering it was in such demand before they even started selling tickets why not make more money by moving it to the Hayes. I know they are currently renting out the theater, but I am sure arrangements can be made with What the Constitution Means to Me's producers for a Monday night show, as has been done numerous times in other Broadway theaters, most recently Celebrity Autobiography and the Illusionists sharing the Marquis this past December.

L5Y is a week from tomorrow. No cast announcement...

I have tickets to L5Y and N2N.  I'm kind of surprise there's still no announcement on casting especially for L5Y which is only one week away.  They must be in rehearsal by now so they should know who will be playing the leads.

Does seem odd we don’t have any kind of cast announcement... was hoping Adam and Betsy would reprise their roles but given we are a week out with no confirmation that makes me feel like this will not be the case. I had high hopes for this concert series, but now I’m wondering if we will even get anyone of note?

Just announced the cast for L5Y!  Shoshana Bean as Cathy and Jason Robert Brown as Jamie.  Intrigued by these choices, should be a good concert!

[steven22]

Not usually wowed by casting announcements lately. Shoshana in WAITRESS and Shoshana and Jason in L5Y. Wow.

[ren598]

Posted: 2/25/19 at 3:08pm

Not going to lie.  I'm not crazy about this casting announcement.  I've never been a fan of Shoshana and it feels like JRB is doing this only because they couldn't find anyone else.  I'm disappointed.  I guess I was expecting something else.  I have to decide what I'm going to do with the one ticket I have for this performance.

Yeah, this one is definitely an "everyone else is busy that night so this is the best we could come up with" cast.  I sure hope they can do better with the other 3 concerts.

I feel the same way, no one else was available. Lame. I hope Dogfight has better casting.

I'm actually looking forward to this casting.  I have a soft spot for seeing composers perform roles they wrote (Dave Malloy in great Comet, Lin in Hamilton, etc.), even if they may not be the actors for the job.  Although personally I was hoping Adam and Betsy would reprise their role.  Still holding out for either Lindsay Mendez or Derek Klena to reprise their roles for Dogfight, since neither of them are currently working on any projects that I know of.  But after the L5Y casting I am lowering my expectations.  For Next to normal, I am hoping for Kate Baldwin as Diana.  I think she would be brilliant, although I don't know if she would want to sing such a demanding score on her night off from Superhero.
