I’ll report back on how the cast was. Never seen the show live... so won’t have much but the album to compete to. I am already noticing that in preshow photos the proscenium is lacking the “neon” type lights from the first national. "

I’m seeing it on opening night on Tuesday. I saw the OBC and then saw it during Sara’s first run and also saw Molly Jobe during Shoshana’s run. I’m kinda surprised it’s non equity but was bummed when I heard that when they released the season lineup. 2 of the 4 tours coming through Vancouver are non equity with this and Rent. DEH and FN are the equity tours we are getting. Will be interesting to see what’s it’s like in comparison to broadway."

Finding Neverland isn't equity either."

Was about to say. The only show Vancouver is getting included with season tickets that is equity is Dear Evan Hansen. Then of course Wicked is. But that’s a season add on. Kind of a bummer season.

Maybe if we're lucky...wouldn't it be cool if they filmed Sara & Gavin's performances in London?

discount code*

UGH. I would love that. But I haven't felt lucky since they let My Fair Lady with Laura Benanti go without a recording.

BwayinVan said: "So the non equity tour officially opened tonight in Vancouver. I didn’t realize it was opening night of the whole tour. Overall it was good. If I hadn’t seen it on bway three times I would have said it was really good but I don’t think it was in the same level (it is opening night so hopefully the show will grow and get better as it goes). I thought the ensemble were much weaker than on bway. They just didn’t have the same energy and there were a number of times that because of this they kind of fell into the background and it felt like they weren’t actually needed and were just in the way. I don’t think Jenna had the emotional depth and it felt like she was just saying her lines instead of feeling them but she found the emotion much better in Act II and her voice is strong that it was even big enough to fill the barn that is the QE Theatre. Dawn was the strongest I think. She did all the little things right and got a lot of laughs. Overall it was a fun night at the theatre and I think this cast is only going to get better as they grow into the show so if it comes through your town definitely check it out. "

Definitely gonna see it when it comes to my local theatre next year.

Just wanted to stop by to say something I noticed about Katharine McPhee's portrayal of Jenna...

I started in the mezz, but noticed an empty seat in the front row, so I moved. It was amazing to be so close, but I also realized...Katharine isn't bland, or boring. Her Jenna is portrayed as numb. She's checked out of where she is because she is so miserable in her current situation. During "SUTBM" I saw that crack; she broke. She became emotional-finally, raw, she actually had a tear coming out of her eye at the end. She finally broke open and showed Jenna as vulnerable, broken, and I think it was absolutely beautiful. I haven't stopped thinking about that since. She was incredible.

He was initially going to buy for Dec 29th, but the box office warned him Kat MIGHT be out that day. Figured I relay what he was told at the box office.

I know on twitter the Waitress account mentioned her out the 19th for 7PM and the 30th for both shows.

EDIT: it seems Molly Jobe posted on insta that Dec 29th would be her last time on as Jenna."

Yes that is correct. Stephanie on the 19th and 30th (two shows) and Molly on the 29th. However it’s a Sunday and I believe that Molly is just on for the 7 pm show and Kat is still there for the matinee.

Do you know what date they tweeted this? I just looked through their timeline and don't see anything about dates Kat won't be there.

Stephanie Torns announced the dates of her final scheduled Jenna shows on her instagram account. Tornsy18.

Thank you. I bought a ticket for 12/19 before this was announced so am trying to decide what to do.

"

it was announced weeks earlier by Kat that she would be out for these four shows (although I cannot remember where I saw that). But we had been wondering if Stephanie would be doing all four shows. Then Stephanie posted she was only doing three shows and then a few days later, Molly announced she was doing the fourth.

This month, they have scheduled most of the understudies some last planned times to go on which was a lovely gesture IMO.

If you bought a ticket specifically to see Kat, you might want to see if they can exchange it for you. But if you just wanted to see a great performance, you will not go wrong with Stephanie. She’s always been one of my favorite Jennas.

Anyway, pretty sure Katharine is off the 19th Dec, 29th Dec and the 2 shows on the 30th Dec. Molly is Jenna on the 29th and Steph is Jenna the other shows. "

The 29th is a Sunday. Two shows. I’m fairly sure Molly is only on for the night show. Kat is there for the matinee.

Check the schedule. Waitress is only doing a 7PM show on the 29th. Friday,Saturday and Monday are 2 show days."



Thanks for the heads up. All shows have such different schedules, I got confused. My apologies.
