Dude, I made one post. Given that people were so ready to believe due to one tiny tweet with literally zero compelling information, I don't this it was particularly out of line.

Thank you MinervaMoon for clearing that up. Your post is MUCH appreciated. I'd rather have the facts than all the rumors, speculations and unnecessary "freak outs"...
In our millions, in our billions, we are most powerful when we stand together. TW4C unwaveringly joins the worldwide masses, for we know our liberation is inseparably bound.

Neverland is the most likely. Care to give us the rundown of the FN actors schedules minerva? It would be much apreciated.
I appoligise for any spelling mistakes. I may be on my mobile. Clumsy fingers and small little touchscreen keys don't mixx. I try to spellcheck, but I may miss something.
Was there something specific in Minerva's post that set people off? Or are some of you just wanting to appear bitchy because you think it makes you look "cool"?

We got the point that it wasn't happening because Daveed was in Seattle. She then felt the need to post the locations of 10 different members of the cast. Not really necessary.
"Contentment, it seems, simply happens. It appears accompanied by no bravos and no tears."
One post was still made to speculate that they were performing in front of an invited audience after it was established that Daveed is in Seattle, so I don't see how Minerva's post could be viewed as unnecessary. She was just giving a definitive answer to the question of whether or not anything was happening at the Rodgers tonight.
Auggie -- I must be confusing stories in my head then. I thought I remembered that Peters was brought back specifically to make the recording and that the audience was invited because it wasn't a regularly scheduled performance. (I also didn't know it was filmed over several performances.) Can you shed any light on this?
If we're not having fun, then why are we doing it?

Oops! I just realized that my post might have not come across the way I intended it. I simply meant to make the point that it was conceivably possible that they could use an invited audience when the time came (yesterday, today, or two weeks from now) as it is something both Hamilton has done before as well as it is in line with recent filmings. Some posters seemed surprised that they might use an invited audience.
Peters and Joanna Gleason both returned. If memory serves, they performed 3 to 4 performances for paying audiences -- Thursday, May 23 to Saturday, May 25 1989 -- and then of course they shot the show with an empty theater to do close-ups, etc., and integrated the footage. In a sense, you are correct: they did film some material without a full house. Someone else can perhaps augment and correct this. But I do remember knowing the circumstances, because I took my 10-year-old nephew who was visiting. It's a reason I returned.

All filmed Broadway musicals are a compilation of usually 3 performances - it's not a single performance filmed. Generally 2 performances with an audience are filmed (each with different camera angles) and then one without an audience. This is for various reasons: choices for editing; mishaps; performance levels, etc.
MTV's film of LEGALLY BLONDE: The Musical was done this way.

I don't know if I've done something to offend you in the past, but christ. Worriers and conspiracy theorists abound around here. Someone saying Daveed is in Seattle isn't necessarily enough to keep people from speculating that for some reason they're doing it without him, especially after Leslie stated outright that even he is not a given. So instead of a dozen more posts of ifs, ands, and maybes, I looked through a feed of just the Hamilton actors and collated what I found to build the case against them filming it that day. If a nondescript piece of paper is enough to be compelling evidence, I thought it was appropriate at the very least to show that with Lin, Javier, and Jon away, they'd be filming Hamilton without Hamilton.

No, you're not. I felt the same way, too. Her post was not only excessive but borderline stalkerish, and it made me very uncomfortable.

So googling something to determine the actual facts in a sea of mythology is borderline stalkerish? Sheesh. Moon you did nothing wrong; Gypsy you did nothing wrong. Now get back in the sandbox but watch out for your eyes.
