She's 47, and your point? Carmen was 45 during Bright Star she and convincingly played a teenager. Sara is almost 40, should that stop her from playing Jenna?

I thought he was wonderful in Wicked, and a sweetheart at the stage door.

Well that wasn’t shocking https://www.broadwayworld.com/article/Joey-McIntyre-Returns-to-Broadway-as-Dr-Pomatter-in-WAITRESS-Feb-Apr-20181220

I didn’t mean to imply he would be anything less than wonderful. I just know Broadway can be unforgiving to pop stars especially boy band members. Sounds like he has a lot of goodwill going into the show. Good!

BTW I loved Jason Mraz in Waitress (I know he’s not a boy band-er, but I went in with low expectations and they were totally exceed; I’d gladly see him on Broadway again) and Ricky Martin in Evita (I know it’s a polarizing opinion, but I liked his performance a lot).

P.S. Autocorrect originally had changed the above to: “Ricky Martin In Elvira.” For some reason, I can’t stop laughing.

Sara has no scheduled days off. Plus she has excellent attendance. I think she was really sick during her last run and missed maybe three performances? But if she's healthy she's on.

As they will have joined only a few days earlier, I think you’ll be fine.

I'm seeing NKOTB for the zillionth time this spring, so it would be sort of ridiculous for me to do this too, lol.

For anyone looking for a discount code: THM3 works for the entirety of the Creel/Bareilles run and through 3/3. Just picked up a mezz row K for $49! Orchestra/front mezz is $89.

Really? I mean it's up to you if you want buy a ticket or not...but seeing someone in a band is completely different than seeing someone act/sing in a Broadway show playing someone other than himself. Plus you get to see a show. So I don't see the ridiculous aspect of this. Again..your choice.

Thank you for posting the discount code Danielle49!

Might not be one!
