^ I had a similar feeling about seeing Phylicia Rashad in the Sunday in the Park with George concert. I didn't want to see her, I didn't want to acknowledge her presence with applause, and I would never buy a ticket based on her name alone.

(This is one reason I don't love when performers are on social media. I was really bummed to find out about Ebersole's beliefs, because I've always liked her as a performer. I didn't seek the information, but it was put out there, it's something I strongly disagree with and that makes her someone I'm not really interested in supporting anymore. She has every right to voice her beliefs, but she has to know that it will make her product that much harder to sell.)

When I see the phrase "the ____ estate", I imagine a vast mansion in the country full of monocled men and high-collared women receiving letters about productions across the country and doing spit-takes at whatever they contain. -Kad

Wacky that the art makes them appear to be the same height. In Chicago, Ebersole appeared to be a foot taller than LuPone.

Saw this in Chicago and loved it. Any word on changes or rewrites? I will say this - the format - going back and forth between the two ladies' storylines does get predictable but altering that would require wholesale changes that never seems to happen these days between Chicago and New York. Its a design orgasm and a diva feast. LuPone has the more difficult role and Christine the better 11 o'clock number but both are perfect. Cant wait to see it again. And why has it been banished to the Nederlander? Dull artwork - discreet theater - jeeze that's no way to treat these ladies.

Possibly the very end of  "Back On Top" sung by Helena Rubinstein (Patti LuPone)

Thought this was interesting. I wonder how major the changes between the new book and the old book are that David Korins would have to change his set design. Hmmmmmm

Ebersole on Hillary Clinton: "I'll default to Patti" - couldn't tell if there was subtext or if it was simply because the question was related to an experience Patti discussed earlier.

Question from young audience member about what they should learn about politics and equality. Ebersole: "Patti, it's all yours". Ok, I think it is clear that Ebersole is trying to avoid a controversial conversation.

Ebersole isn't exactly known for being liberal or feminist, so yeah, definitely trying to avoid an awkward moment and upset an entire room of gays...

I have to concede that tickets don't seem to be moving as quickly as I thought they would (i.e., I was wrong).....the key differences from the try out vs now (e.g., larger theatre, longer run and more competition) probably will make all the difference. I would expect a discount code before performances start.

Went to buy tickets for this today, but I'll be holding out for a discount code. I'm sorry - those prices are absurd.

Is TAM MUTU in this? I thought I saw him rehearsing with CHRISTINE EBERSOLE on Instagram... He's a talent...
