From the FAQ:

Please don't rush to become a Broadway Legend. First of all, 1001 posts in less than a week isn't exactly something to be proud of. Also, the quality of your posts is what matters, not the quantity. Don't litter the boards with useless messages that contain just a period or something. Take your time, and just enjoy being here. You'll be a Legend twice over in no time. Lastly, no one really CARES anyway...as long as you have a hot avatar, you're pretty much set.

By the way, blaxx, you're a Broadway Legend, and I'm only Chorus Member. Is it that bad that I liked discussing musicals?

Rodgers and Hammerstein's Cinderella to embark on an Asian tour starting in Manila, Philippines for a 4-week run (July-August). Lea Salonga has been cast as Cinderella. Based on an article, it looks like Australian Peter Saide may be paired with Ms. Salonga as the Prince.

".....the brand new version of Rodger’s and Hammerstein’s Cinderella will premiere in Manila, before it embarks on a lengthy Asian Tour and later on a US National Tour."

The Wedding Singer closed for a reason, they better fix that book if they're planning on running anywhere else.
