I'm assuming it's going to be like Wall-to-Wall Sondheim, in which case, a question for those who went last time: do you have to go for all 12 hours, or are you able to just attend part of it? I have a conflict in the morning so I wouldn't be able to go for the first few hours, but I would still love to see this.

I ended up staying for the whole day for the Sondheim Wall to Wall (Best day of my life!) - and I know there was a huge line of people outside waiting to enter the theater and couldn't because most people wouldn't leave, and there was no room... I felt bad but these events are really once in a lifetime kind of thing, and I was there at 6:30 am to wait in line...
So to answer your question - you don't *have* to go for the whole 12 hours, but it might be difficult to enter later. Even though, chances are they've also learned from what happened the last time and will try to make sure people don't stay for the whole day - but you can never know for sure.
Good luck!

I don't know if they could, or should, try to get people to leave who want to stay the whole day.
Perhaps what they could do is have two lines. One for those who do intend to stay and one for those who don't Maybe put the people who want to leave after an hour closer to the back so they disturb less people when they get up. And anyone who comes in to take those empty seats won't disturb anyone either.

Okay. But they do, in theory, let you in throughout the day? Hopefully people won't be quite as fanatical about this one as they were for the Sondheim one, but you never know.
Also, do they release a list of what's happening when?

Well, we Sondheim fans *are* fanatical. 
I have to admit I was like the second person in line (there was a group of girls who took the train in from Boston so they had been there almost all night) - most people got there a little later, but definitely before 11 am - like at around 8 or 9.
In theory, yes, they let you in throughout the day. And they will probably release a list closer to the event itself, but as I recall, there were changes made to the schedule even on the day of the event.

Nothing wrong with that! I really regret not going to the Sondheim one. 
Thanks for the info!
