Checked Tickemaster.com about 15 mins ago, and Orch seats popped up for next Friday...
Just a heads-up...

I just thought I'd throw my two cents in here to say I am very happy to hear that Merle has so many fans. She and I did Smokey Joes Cafe together and she's a real sweetie!
I am not real thrilled about another Disney show coming to Broadway, but based on everyone's early take on the previews, I may have to go and see this one. :)

"I know I said I would drop it, but...when people who need to be shirtless or semi-nude in a show, is it legal to ask them to "show the goods" before they decide if they should be cast?"
I believe you can ask them to take off their shirt, if the role calls for the actor to be shirtless. Well, you can ask a man anyway.

Posted: 3/26/06 at 2:59pmWhen I bought tickets in December, the ONLY seats left for any of the early previews were Partial View. I plan on sitting on the stairs that decend into the orchestra. It's stadium style.

Actually I didn't really see it yet, but I hope it's good.
And from what I hear on these boards this could really turn out to be one of Disney's best with a little bit of revisons and tweaking.
And has anyone got a chance to peek in their playbills for the orchestra's names? PM me with the info.

Oh I confused the threads.

Posted: 3/27/06 at 1:27amI was really dreading this show coming to Broadway and thought it was going to be a thing to pass...but now reading these reviews I am very curious to see it for myself. I'll just wait to hear the music and that will help me decide ^__^.

Posted: 3/27/06 at 1:38amI'm with you emogeek. I had no doubts about Crowley's abilities as a designer or what kind of inventive staging the geniuses as Disney would make possible. What I am less sure of is Phil Collins's score. I looked forward to it in the movie only to hear one good song used theatrically, and the script wasn't nearly as good as the visual artistry. I fear this incarnation suffering in the same ways, so I'm watching eagerly to hear what people have to say about the script and score.

You can't beat a musical that has singing apes. Now that is high art!
Great to hear that Josh Strickland "has a great entrance" too, though how you know this I'd prefer not to know.

Posted: 3/27/06 at 11:01pmHooray, I just got tickets for Thursday. I'm definitely interested in comparing the show to the first performance to see what changed.
