Sondheim and Ives' HERE WE ARE at The Shed — Page 45

Sutton Ross said: "That's great that it worked for you, I'm glad you enjoyed yourself. It just didn't for me and that's perfectly okay."



Not sure that anyone was asking for your "Stamp of Approval" , but okay.

Act one has around 38 to 42 minutes of song. Approximately 5 to 8 minutes of that is music playing while speaking in middle of songs like when they are on road traveling . Act two has approximately 12 to 15 minutes of singing with an additional 12 to 15 minutes of scoring toward the end.


For comparison Into the woods has about 70 minutes on the cast album.

Passion has about 36 to 40 minutes for act 1 and around 35 to 39 minutes of singing and underscoring with dialogue for act 2





In regards to the ending if they did add a song they easily could have tried it for a performance or two and realized it didn't work for that moment and decided against adding anything.

There are still rush tickets available for tonight on TodayTix…and the ARE20 code works for rush...so the quick can see it for $20

But there is no music whatsoever, no scoring nothing, until they figure things out. Then the music comes back new motifs, new sounds. Sondheim really could have left it as it is, if he were still alive, even to push the envelope on what a musical really is, it doesn't need to have an I want song nor an 11 o'clock number to be successful, a lot of musicals use that paint by numbers, and truly how emotional can that be if it's processed to be delivered that way. So, to speak on behalf of Sondheim thinking that he would be writing an ending is wishful thinking. Truly, no one, except maybe the other creatives of this musical know, so we should just accept what it is, and be very happy we have at least this amount of new sondheim music whether sung or scored..And if it doesn't work for you doesn't mean it's any less than anything else except in your opinion. I personally think it's brilliant, the music, the lyrics, the new songs, the way it enhances the source material.

How are y’all seeing rush tickets.


I take a peek every morning and within 20 minutes it’s sold out and says to come back the next day.


also. Does anyone know how long that code will last ARE20 would love to use that this weekend

ARE20 code was only 24 hours when I saw it yesterday......expired now, just tried.

I’d be surprised if Nathan and Bernadette weren’t Leo and Marianne in the reading. They likely did the reading as a favor. Cannavale and Bay Jones are so perfectly matched with those roles.

I've never met Bernadette before, but I might see if I can catch her at the stage door of OLD FRIENDS and I might ask what part she played lol.

She played the Tracie Bennett role.

Is this true? When I suggested that Bernadette should replace Tracie Bennett in the role to take it to Broadway I was told Bernadette couldn't do it (doesn't seem like anyone except me thinks Bernadette can do everything lol). Admittedly, Bernadette is not exactly an accent-giving character actress, but still hehe.

Just got a ticket for December on TodayTix for $87... it's the last row of the balcony but it's cheaper than their site! Still happy to get to see it!

There is no balcony in that theater. It’s just behind the last row of seats. It’s a small theater and your view will be great. Enjoy!

Just received an email that the show has been extended to January 21, with tickets on sale next week.
