The Official "In The Heights" Love Thread.... — Page 14

Okay so me and my best friends are planning to go see the show this summer and I have kinda a weird question... There has been talk about Robin being in the Godspell revival and I was wondering how long people think he's going to stay in ITH? He was one of my favorite parts about the show and I would love for my friend to see his performance!
Thanks y'all!

Yeah, thanks testing.

fyi in addition to Andréa Burns, this week at Don't Quit Your Night Job:

FREESTYLE LOVE SUPREME (Lin-Manuel Miranda, Bill Sherman, Thomas Kale and Shockwave) have just been added as musical guests!

Get your tickets now!!!

Can not wait for Thursday night!!

ps: lost the lotto tonight, again, and post-lotto they were selling rear orch seats for the $31.50 rear mezz price. I think that's the first time I've seen discounts offered at Heights post-lotto.

1. HEIGHTS IS NOW SELLING PROGRAMS!! Sorry if this is not news, but I hadn't seen mention of programs on here yet, I don't think, (they're $15) and I know they weren't there the last time I was at the show eight days ago (don't judge).

2. Celeb sighting: Glenn Close was at the matinee today.

3. Andréa Burns, who continues to be my new favorite person *ever,* did the BC/EFA curtain speech at the matinee today (with cameo appearance by Janet Dacal doing her "what would Jesus do?" line, lol). And it was rather brilliant: "We are in a competition with every other Broadway show. And you know me, I don't like to talk about nobody, but obviously we would like to *win* that competition..." Hee. They had the usual posters for $100, Playbills for $40, and they're also doing a silent auction of an opening night painting by Todd DiCiurcio that the cast received that has been matted, framed and signed, and the auction is now at $7,500 for that item. And Heights' goal is to collect at least $96,000 total, and they're already at $80,000.

4. And so apparently the 'official' reason that the f-bombs were removed from the show is that groups wouldn't book Heights because of the three uses of f*ck ("____ the bling," "show some ____in spirit," and a use during Blackout). Sh*t and coño and cabron and whatnot are all ok for groups, those are staying, but just not the f word.

I totally missed you mentioning the programs! I know I read your post, because I remember wondering what section you head to for empty seats with regards to the second acting, but I missed the programs part- I walked into the matinee today and got so excited by the programs it wasn't even funny.

I think the Heights yoga pants might also be new merch, but I don't really go for show clothing so I could have just not noticed them before.

I wonder what versions of the 'f word' songs are going to be on the cast recording.

I would be ok with Andrea doing the BC speech all the time, I love her. That artwork is pretty sweet, someday I'm gonna have $7,500 to spend on really cool fun stuff like that during BC time.

I would be in for an adults-only night!!

I want them to start selling Seth's "Peace/Love" shirt !

Great news on the program ! Will def be getting one Tues !!!

Just wondering, to anyone who has been to show in the past week or so...have there been many understudies on and if so for who? I am going this week, so I was just wondering.

I'm not going to expect that those will be the understudies on during this week, but just to get an idea beforehand on who has been out lately during the show.

Also, I am so excited to get the program, but does anyone know when those who pre-ordered the cast recording will get it or is it the same day as it comes out that we get it?

Thanks!

- scroll up about five posts, BroadwayChica pretty much spelled out what it is and how to second act

- four names for two tickets are pretty good odds for a wed matinee lotto.

- after lotto on Saturday night they were selling $31.50 rear orch seats. That would be the first and only time I've heard that offer when I've been at Heights lotto.

- there are no lottos that draw names after Heights lotto is over

So envious of anyone going to DQYNJ since Lin will be there.

I also got those cardboard cut out things from a woman in front of TKTS.

FLS was great. That's really all I got right now. If someone else wishes to elaborate, go ahead.

It was a great show, and all the boys were in top form. Good times.

Anyone going tonight (or trying Lottery) - ?

Will be in F mezz with "ITH" thermal on-

Wave "hi" if you are there !!! :))

Cant wait to get my hands on the program !
