There WILL be a few more tickets released on Wednesday at noon to the general public, although with the size of the venue numbers are obviously limited all around. Not quite as crazy as Aaron Tveit's presale, but people are definitely excited!

ATTENTION FANS: I will be played by James Barbour in the upcoming musical, "BroadwayWorld: The Musical."
I am still not convinced that the "big names" will show up. It can't be worth their while financially, and it will not be with any kind of orchestration in that small a venue. Which is not to say the music won't be wonderful to hear.
Taryn, I may very well be wrong, but as far as I know, 54 Below put all available seats on sale for the pre-sale and both concerts are truly sold out already.
Tonya Pinkins: Then we had a "Lot's Wife" last June that was my personal favorite. I'm still trying to get them to let me sing it at some performance where we get to sing an excerpt that's gone.
Tony Kushner: You can sing it at my funeral.
Given that it's the Broadway cast, gonna say Broadway even though most of the songs are in the London version anyway.

"Esparza and Morton were the only two good things about this show."
In your opinion.

I can tell you with 100% certainty that that is not the case.
I couldn't justify the expense of flying in to see this without Euan and Raul (I never assumed there was a snowball's chance George would do it), so my decision was made for me a while ago, but I honestly think Jeremy Kushnier is a really good choice. He's always been one of my favorites, and could make an interesting Philip.
That being said, if I were in town, I would have been there in a heartbeat just to hear the score live again (and to be fair, they did get a lot of the OBC, and those supporting performances were fantastic) - and so I suspect, "names" or not, there are plenty of people who will be happy to go just for the show. It did, after all, sell out after Euan had already publicly said he wasn't doing it. And frankly I think most people knew Raul was a longshot anyway. Dude's a little busy.
I'm looking forward to the 54 Below anniversary concerts of Metro, In My Life, Harrigan 'N Hart, Glory Days, Lennon, and Scandalous, too. They were all such misunderstood masterpieces.
Sorry Newintown but Taboo does not deserve to be in with the like of those shows. It had one hell of a score and where the book collapsed at times it was still one of the most exciting new shows around.
Namo i love u but we get it already....you don't like Madonna
Oh, I imagine if you looked hard enough you'd find people who liked each of those shows as much as you like Taboo. It's all subjective, y'know. For me, the quality of them all was equally low; for you, it's not.
I think Taboo's score was probably the strongest or second strongest score the season it came out (I'd probably put Caroline, or Change as the strongest). Boy George's lyrics with his music (with Kevan Frost John Themis, and Richie Stevens) outshines the other 80s pop star/Broadway composer, Cyndi Lauper's work in Kinky Boots. Shame that the show was sort of a mess apparently.
"I've got to get me out of here
This place is full of dirty old men
And the navigators and their mappy maps
And moldy heads and pissing on sugar cubes
While you stare at your books."
Having seen it both in London and the US, I will say that it was a much better show in the US, aided by Charles Busch's much better (if still untenable) book. In London, it was an unending, unintelligible bore; in fact, all I can really remember (other than wanting to escape) was Boy George in his Leigh Bowery drag, camping his way through that effective, if entirely irrelevant song, "Ich bin Kunst."
