My performance several weeks ago was cancelled so I did not get to see this on my trip. I am a HUGe Celine fan, so I am hoping it will still be playing somewhere when I return to the city in March.
This was a lot of fun and great singers. Marla Mindelle is such a hoot as Celine. It was my first time at the Daryl Roth theater and this seems like a perfect home for this camp fest.

I predict it will. Caught it again at the Roth and it was another another sold out blissed out crowd. This one seems to have some great word of mouth, deservedly.
Hopefully this finds a permanent house. It's scheduled to run at the Daryl Roth Theater through Feb. 19. Not sure if the theater has anything else lined up come the Spring?
A Chorus Line revival played its final Broadway performance on August 17, 2008. The tour played its final performance on August 21, 2011. A new non-equity tour started in October 2012 played its final performance on March 23, 2013. Another non-equity tour launched on January 20, 2018. The tour ended its US run in Kansas City and then toured throughout Japan August & September 2018.
Caught this again today in the new space, and this is such a deliriously funny delight. Possibly the funniest show in NYC? (tho I'll gladly be proved wrong, I need laughter these days.) Laughter that just builds and builds. It looks & sounds so much more professional, properly staged in a real theatre space. There is a joke about the set looking like ANYTHING GOES.
Shout out to Russell Daniels as Rose's mother, who was a new discovery for me and someone to watch now. He was the definite highlight and we of the audience were practically screaming with laughter during an extended monologue/bit. Which is immediately followed by 3 supreme beltresses "belting their t*ts off" (as Celine says at one point) with TELL HIM. A great evening.

Agreed! He's remarkable. I haven't seen someone that comfortable chewing scenery like that in so long - brilliant!
So glad this is extending futher and I can see the show on my trip in March. Does anyone know anything about the VIP tickets? - I understand these are great seat locations but is there anything else that makes it a VIP experience? The Titanique website as well as telecharge are sketchy with any details.

I've been wondering about this, too. The only info I found is on Telecharge:
First Class Passengers! Enjoy an unforgettable experience up close and personal with Celine, Jack, Rose, and the rest of the cast as they perform directly in front of and around you. And don’t forget to head downstairs before the show to enjoy the bar, merch, and photo op!
So it sounds like it's just the location, not anything else exclusive. I was curious because when I saw it at the Asylum, it looked like the people in the first two rows had a little goodie box.
Very excited to see this again in January, although I'm bummed that John Riddle is leaving--he was definitely a highlight. Does anyone know if there's any new merch? At the Asylum I think they just had Victor Garber's fan.
There was proper merch the night I saw it at the Daryl Roth, near the bar & bathrooms. Shirts, magnets, shot glasses, a filthy tote bag, etc. The merch, like the show, was funny.

They went into rehearsals on the 17th, and their IG shows a post from the 25th saying “I’m so sick in bed tell me I’m hot”, so I’m assuming illness has delayed their joining the show.
People may not believe me but it will most likely transfer to the Circle in the Square by the end of the season. Deals and paperwork are being finalized as we speak

Curious to hear how this happened when CITS was being finalized for A Man Of No Importance last I heard word on the street.
There are like 3 other people called Voter on here, FYI.
