lisatwin, I saw it this week and everyone was in, so it will probably be okay this weekend. I also saw it with Drew Lachey, and don't worry, you didn't miss anything. He tried his best, but his stage presence was zilch, and he could only shine when he was harmonizing with someone else. When he sang by himself, it just wasn't very interesting (which I guess was why he was back up in 98 Degrees). He's an attractive man, though!
greeneyed, a lot of the mezz during a weekday performance was empty, much more than I expected, so you can probably get a day of ticket at least in the back.
Something kind of weird about the audience this week... I've never seen so many people stand up in the middle of a scene, walk out, and come back in as I did during this performance. It was really bizarre and distracting. I didn't stage door it, but I watched for a little bit to see what it was like. It was MOBBED by fans screaming and all holding up cameras whenever someone came out-- you couldn't even see them from a short distance over all the heads of the fans I was kind of scared for Anthony because he must have been being crushed a little by the crowd.
"I thought that that was just going to be a like one shot deal for me, you know, but they kept talking about it like, 'when we do the production, when we do the production', and I was like, 'yes, yes, when you do the production, cool, I will come and see it'". - John Gallagher Jr. on SA
