Is anyone going tomorrow? I didn't enjoy the book very much, but I'll buy a ticket if there are good reports.

I will be there. This is my first "first preview" since MATILDA, and I will report back.

We just bought our tickets for the 25th-- 2nd row center was still available at non-premium prices!

We've been eagerly waiting to see this show since New Year's a year ago when we had tickets to the West End production.... until the catastrophe of the ceiling collapse shelved those plans.

Just hoping that the American cast will be equal to the West End folks who got so much praise.

So stoked for this!

Any one know who's going on tonight/this week?

I gather Mr. Sharp is on for 'Christopher' tonight...

Where is the best place to sit for this show?
If I had Rear Orchestra Side or Front Mezz Side which would be better?

I'll be waiting for a week or two. This is, by all reports, an even more technical show in a proscenium than it was in the NTLive broadcast from the Cottesloe and I want it to be more settled by the time I see it. If I could afford it, I'd wait until after opening.
Still looking froward or it very much. The NTLive broadcast was great.

I missed the cinematic release of this one, but it looks INCREDIBLE!

I think this will struggle on Broadway, the American audience won't embrace it like the British audience has.

The book was a best seller in America.

I don't think it will have a problem attracting auds if the reviews are as stellar as I anticipate.

Has anybody asked the box office about rush policies?

Wow and wow again, I am genuinely touched by you the mysterious growl you have shown so much interest in my signature. Where I saw Fiddler on the Roof in the Orchard Theatre, Dartford is approximately 17 miles South East of London's West End, in the US you would call them Regional Theatres.

I think this will struggle on Broadway, the American audience won't embrace it like the British audience has.

Sort of like how American audiences didn't embrace War Horse?

Anyone know if they've decided what Taylor Trensch's performance schedule will be yet, and if so, what it is?

(Sorry if this is already someplace else on the boards...)

I want to know when your damn signature will magically disappear, Phantom.

What difference does his signature possibly make in your life, Headband, unless you don't have one. A life, that is. Stop being a petty little bitch and mind your own business. Oh wait. I guess hell would have to freeze for that to happen.

Anyway, looking forward to preview reports.

I actually second the Christopher schedule. Should anyone have any sort of inkling as to how they are going about it.

Loved the NTLive version, saw it twice! The reviews for the proscenium version now playing in the West End have been stellar, so I'm hopeful they'll have the Broadway setting down pat pretty quickly. Seeing it on the 29th, can't wait!
