pretty random. used to happen regularly back in April.

 

[lisamaria]

Any understudies for the matinee? Rumor had it Lin was going on. 

Any word on tonight?

 

[neonlightsxo]

"stand-ins"? Understudies, you mean? Thayne Jasperson is on as Laurens/Philip and Andrew Chappelle is on as Lafayette/Jefferson. I know that from Twitter.

[CercleRouge]

Chris Jackson is apparently out too

This only happened the one time and hasn't been done since. While I was in line the theater employees said "we pick the first 20 people we see" but they only say that because they don't officially endorse the way the line policies itself. In reality, they pretty much follow the list because it makes their lives easier. On Saturday when there were tickets the first 20 people in line didn't take, the staff even asked us to go find the next people in line so she could offer them the tickets. Despite that, don't ask the theater staff about the list or try to argue with them about anything by using the list as a basis, that's more likely to get you kicked out of the line than anything else.

I just heard from my line buddy and it sounds like they are back to choosing randomly again for tonight. I'll post if I find out more details, but just wanted to reiterate not to take anything for granted and assume it will go a certain way, because it changed unexpectedly again. Tomorrow it will probably be back to the list, who knows?

It's 95° and humid. Not sure if you guys in the cancellation line are dedicated or insane. 

[daijop]

I want to try to do stub hub for tonight but many of the tickets are being sold in pairs does anyone want to go in with me on a pair?

[NeverPlan]

It's cancelled for tonight due to the people who jumped the line not backing down.  cops got mad and talked to the box office and essentially due to the people who refused to budge.

[mailhandler777]

Wait, cops were called??? Wow.

[aaaaaa15]

Please let them get rid of this ridiculous line now.

[NeverPlan]

The cop is stationed here and usually has regulars that are in charge.  There were 2 teen agers who camped out and the 40 year old woman with 2 kids cut in front of them after the lottery/2pm show and wouldn't budge.

Then the box office people came out and were like who are the first 20 and it became madness.  These 2 girls are crying and those people aren't moving.

The cop says the theater and box office are tired of this mess since up until a month ago it was working and they've been having increasing cases of stuff like this.

[BroadwayFan2]

To bad this happened. I am sure everything would have returned to normal after July 9th.

[DottieD'Luscia]

Definitely sounds like an alternative needs to take place. I feel bad for the people who wait in an orderly fashion. Too bad there are always entitled f*cks out there to mess things up. 

[daijop]

I'm at the theater right now I see a cancellation line

I noticed a few of the Twitter replies said DAB, what does that mean? I only heard the word as weed related slang and the regular definition. 

[LizzieCurry]

Dab

That doesn't make sense in the responses, either. 

[LizzieCurry]

They want him to dab. That's really all it is. People ask celebs to do that now. It's annoying. But not sure if it's worse than its similar word, "Dad."

[Hellob]

Lol, they are asking him to dance? Omg, how stupid. I'm going to have to google how this is a thing! I've never heard of it. Thanks!

[LizzieCurry]

It's more of a pose than an actual dance.

I would think there won't be the crazy demand after 8pm this Saturday.  

Since so much of the orchestra is designated premium seating at $849 in the latest block of seats that were sold for Feb-May 2017, would that mean that any seats offered to the cancellation line starting in February be that price?  $849?  If so, I can't imagine the theater having dozens lining up at that price.  

The draw right now is the price and the cast.  I think mainly the price.  I did the line because heck! $177!  But ended up with resale(s).  

If the cancellation tickets were $849 right now, I know people would still line up for the cast but maybe a lot of  younger people out there wouldn't be camping out since that amount would be more than they'd wanna spend.
