I admit I haven't seen Betsy in the role, but I've seen her in several other shows, and to me it seemed like Torns was definitely channeling her. Agree to disagree. Still,if you weren't totally sure you were seeing a different actor, you have to admitthey'resomewhat similar.

I'm sorry. I am agreeing to disagree because they are completely different in vocals, looks, interpretation of Jenna. And why would Stephanie channel Betsy? She has been on frequently as Jenna since previews almost two years ago. Betsy arrived 7 months ago.

Noted. Thanks for the input. I respect your opinion, but I'd like to throw out there that I -- a seasoned theatre-goer and a generally sane, observant person, with prior knowledge of Betsy Wolfe's performance style -- DID notice striking similarities in their vocal styles and certain acting habits. I'm not saying that makes me right and you wrong, because it's all a matter of opinion, but to claim with absolute certainty that they have no similarities whatsoever is perhaps a bit bold.

Not saying it was a deliberate choice necessarily. I was being hyperbolic to emphasize how similar I though they were. Though now that you mention it, I have heard some stories of past Broadway understudies who tailor their performances over time to more closely resemble the person they're covering. So it is plausible, but again, I'm not claiming that that's necessarily the case.

Anyone rush over the past few days? Curious if there was much of a line with the weather

Announcing arrival times usually means others will simply plan to get there before you. Also, note that 1/14 will PROBABLY be the last rush line for Jason Mraz.

Hmm ok, maybe I’ll plan a back up plan, I didn’t realize it would be his last rush.

Don't know about Ashley but I rushed this morning. They had 15 tickets available.

The person who got the last tickets had arrived at 645am. Ended up being a little off and ended up grabbing the next cheapest level at the box office expecting it not to be available at tkts though it was at 50%.

Think 7 (when I arrived this morning) is probably fairly safe on a double show day or perhaps like 630 on a single show day.

Has anybody heard anything about sro?

I did standing room on Tuesday, on Sara's first day back. My friend and I lined up at around 3:00-ish? There was one person in front of us. Actually, they were having their final dress rehearsal while we were waiting, so we were all listening to Act 2 in the lobby area while waiting for tickets. The box office sold us tickets around 6:00 and there were only 4 of us in line, which kinda surprised all of us.

Walked past this theatre about 15 minutes ago and the rush line was insane! The producers hit the jack-pot convincing Sara to join and re-join this show.

So glad we all got tickets! That was my friend that paid for yours, we weren’t gonna let you leave without tickets after getting there so early! It was great meeting you, enjoy the show tonight!

No one in line after 6:30am got tickets for rush.
New price not posted ANYWHERE: $48/seat.
Wouldn’t have been able to purchase them except for a Good Samaritan who had been in line with us all morning who dropped her card down while my boyfriend ran to the ATM since we had only pulled $80 in cash."

Has anyone rushed for a weekday Sara and Jason show? How early did you get there? I am thinking 8am for the Wednesday evening show but worried that might be too late.
