Anyone know if they’ve made any major changes to the book or score? Are they performing the act one "Gary, Indiana" with Harold and Mrs. Paroo that has been used in some revivals?

Saw an Instagram post from someone showing off their rush ticket, and they got orchestra A 14, the last seat on the end in the front row, obviously marked partial view.

Anyone who expected this production to sell rush tickets for seats they could otherwise get full price for clearly is out of the loop.

Seated and waiting. Still anxious but at least it appears to be happening tonight.

Good luck, interested to hear your thoughts

Damn, that partition is high. I bought A 1 for $269, and I don't think I want to sit there after seeing this. I can't imagine spending $699 for front row center to have a black wall in front of my face. Fortunately, I have other great options purchased for different dates, but I was hoping that one would work out.

Has anyone found a pic of the pre-show and not intermission?

Someone in the other thread said the pre-show curtain is Grant Wood’s painting Stone City, Iowa.

Isn’t Stone City, Iowa the backdrop behind the first scene? It looks like it in the video of Jackman’s entrance.

What else is new....let's hope they don't end up cancelling performances later in the week - end or next week!

That’s correct. Pre-show (and I’m pretty sure intermission) is the photo posted above.

It appears to be, it is also outside the windows in the production photo that was released.

Yeah, you’re right. I wasn’t familiar with that painting beforehand so I wasn’t tracking on that during the show. They look like two different sections of the painting.

Friend was at the first dress and it was indeed the drape of Iowa so guess they changed it for whatever reasons.

Pretty sure there's a front curtain pre-show. Why would there be a barn thing pre-show since they're on a train? Makes no sense and I believe I even saw a photo of the curtain.

There are multiple pics on Instagram from pre-show last night and tonight, and none of them have a curtain.

It appears that was the case for Saturday’s dress rehearsal, but not yesterday or tonight. The barn is effectively the curtain—I don’t see why it needs to align with with the opening scene.

I think this is the photo from the invited dress I guess they did change it.

Yes that’s the one! Much prettier but maybe it doesn’t function well for the opening train sequence.
