Seems a little early for a reunion.

This should be a wonderful evening. So glad to see the cast recording did so well.  Wish I could attend as I loved the show.

How fast will this sell out, do you think? I can't say for sure whether I can make it for another week or so.

As of right now, there are still plenty of tickets left.

I would definitely go if I didn't already have tickets to another show.  Wish I could be in two places at once.

I hope Emily Padgett is in attendance to do her Another Round number.

That's awesome! I'd love to go. Does it sound like  most/all of the cast will be there? If both Carmen Cusack and Paul Nolan will be there, I'm very very interested. ^_^

I am surprised at the high ticket prices, considering the Town Hall is a *massive* venue, larger than a Broadway house. I would've expected a much lower average ticket price as a result. But hey, who knows. Perhaps there are just that many Bright Star/Steve Martin/Edie Brickell with $$ lying around.

^It seems as though the entire cast will be there. Carmen wrote online that she will definitely attend, and it isn't coincidental the event is on a Monday so that those involved in other shows can partake as well (Paul Nolan is in Chicago and Emily Padgett in Sweet Charity). The point of the event is to have the original cast sing the score so unless noted, it's a safe bet that they will all show up.

Has anyone been to Town Hall for shows before? The mics always seem cranked up too high for the Scott Siegel concerts.

Bumping with just over a week until the show. Getting excited! 

Looks like there are only 15 tickets left on Ticketmaster, so if you haven't purchased yet, now's the time.

Does anyone know if it's the kind of concert where they only sing the music or they do the full show.

I am almost positive they are just singing through the score and not actually performing the show. Logistically, that would be a nearly impossible feat.

Yay! I'm thrilled for them. I was skeptical at first, but I'm glad they proved me wrong. I had to hesitate on getting a ticket because I was told I might have to travel out of town for work next week and now it's too late. Oh well. I can't wait to hear about it though!

Do we know if this is a video or audio live stream?

[TFMH18]

Posted: 12/7/16 at 9:57am

Also does anyone know whether the live stream will be available for subsequent viewing? Or just a one time thing while it actually occurs...

Unless someone records the live stream and posts it, I doubt it will be available afterwards. I believe that's what happens every year with the Drama Desks.

Who's ready?! I can't wait! Just a few more minutes...

I'm watching all the way in Colorado! So excited for Carmen to kill it! :)

I'm waiting!  Might have to watch it on my phone since I still have to go to the grocery store...

It's 7:40 and my browser still says "The Show Will Begin Shortly".   Is that what everyone else is seeing?

Yep. Just refreshed mine and it says the same thing.
