Saw it for the second time last night and once again loved it so much!

"Change It" and "Always A Woman" were still in on Saturday, so assuming they're in for good.

They were in yesterday, as well. I actually liked "Always A Woman" better the second time around. I really always enjoyed "Change It" from first preview and even more so the second time around, of course, I wasn't familiar with the songs they replaced.

I couldn't agree more, Rocks!

I love that clip too, it really shows how fun the show is.


The 'I Just Might' clip is great as well, it shows that the show has some emotion to it.

Just wanted to let everyone know that they have released some opening night tickets! I grabbed mine and am SO excited!

I am going to see this again at the end of August. I got row B in the orchestra, center. Is this the first or 2nd row? I remember sitting in the front row off to the side for "Millie" a few years ago. How's the view, if anyone has sat this close?

Loved it the 1st time, and can't wait to see it again!

The final (and best, in my opinion) preview video. For those asking for Megan, here she is...

I love all those videos.

Because Roz doesn't get enough love...

She DOES NOT. And she totally deserves it. Kathy is a revelation.

I like the cast and Megan Hilty's hot, but, even having been offered free tickets TWICE already, I still have no interest in seeing this show.

If I was offered tickets to any show I would take them and see the show, you never know if you might like it. You could be missing out.

[PiraguaGuy2]

Posted: 4/29/09 at 4:20pm

I don't know why you wouldn't take free tickets to any Broadway show. I'd be happy to accept them.

Great last video and I agree it is the best one. I really loved Kathy Fitzgerald kissing all the men. I was lucky enough to have that happen to me twice in L.A. So happy that Kathy gets to shine on Broadway after all the years she worked in local community theatre groups. Attagirl Kathy!

That "Heart to Hart" number was really fantastic. Kathy is hilarious and oh what a voice!

Yankee, if you're getting offered comps, TAKE THEM.

It's nothing groundbreaking or incredible but for free?! You can't beat that. I doubt once the summer rolls around comps will be as available. Take the free tickets while you can and go see it...it's a ton of fun. Even if you're not chomping at the bit to see it, GO with comps! It's totally worth it.

I saw this last night and really enjoyed myself. We needed a good new musical comedy this season, and this show fits the bill.

It's not perfect, but I laughed plenty, and left with a smile on my face, so that was good enough for me, especially given the level of disappointment I have had with this season's batch of new musicals.

Megan Hilty had the audience in the palm of her hands from start to finish. Stephanie J. Block developed a fully realized character, and she blew the roof off the house with her voice. Allison Janney had the comedy down perfectly, but the fact that she cannot sing is made so glaringly obvious by the fact that Megan and Stephanie are such powerhouse singers. But still, they make for a great trio.

Marc Kudisch had less stage time than I would have hoped, but he was a perfect fit for his role, and Kathy Fitzgerald was hilarious in her role.

I enjoyed Andy Blankenbuehler's choreography, and the scenic and costume design.

I did feel as though Andy Karl was a bit wasted, but he did a great job with what he was given, and I'm just glad to see that such a talented guy is working period.

The show is filling the theatre quite well, and awards or no awards, I have a feeling this show is going to be a big hit come summer time. I hope all three leading ladies are nominated for Tonys.

Saw it tonight.
Loved it.

Wouldn't be surprised if 9-to-5 pulls an upset on Billy Elliot for the top Tony (Billy had its spotlight in London, I feel this is more of a feel-good American musical to take a trophy)

Laughed REALLY hard at the very end when we learn what each character goes on to do in life... when Alison Janney says her character "later went on to" (don't want to spoil the surprise) but laughed SO HARD

Megan Hilty OWNED it. What a transformation from ditzy blonde good-witch to WOMAN!

Stephanie can SANG! Loved the power belt at the end of her Act 2 number. Totally laughed out-loud (with a smattering of other people in the mezz) when she sang the lyric "No good deed goes unpunished"

Dancer/ensemble member Neil Haskell is TOTALLY cute.

Just great staging and incredible production value. Fab sets and dancing and lights and continuity. VERY FUN

Saw it tonight as well. Loved the show. So much fun

The dancers that I noticed the most in the ensemble were Timothy George Anderson, Jeremy Davis and Ioana Alfonso. Otherwise known as the black male dancer, bald male dancer and female hispanic dancer.

Always nice to see a little diversity/non-traditional casting! Emphasis on little. :p

And Barbara Walters was in the audience tonight. She had a good laugh during a certain reference in the show.

So excited for opening to happen! :]

is Allison wearing a wig as Violet now or did she grow her hair out? Either way it looks nice a little longer than her usual
