There will be four versions of the window card with the different Color and Light combos based on an email I got... "for the chance to win four versions...."

This is awesome Robert16! I'll be there tonight! 3NU, just saw your message. I was one of the lucky few to get a ticket for this evening and I'm so excited! The cream puffs at 9:45am was a nice touch actually. We didn't even realize we were the first ever to rush at the Hudson theater! :)

Ljay is there tonight. Apparently it's quite chaotic and the doors opened late. They had will call line up in the same line as ticket holders and people were quite out out by that. The show started about 15-20 minutes after 8:00.

Anyone at the show tonight happen to grab an extra Playbill?  I would love to have a Playbill with the sticker commerating the opening of the Hudson theater.  Please PM if you do, I would be happy to pay shipping!

Seconded!  Would love a Playbill from tonight if anyone would be so kind as to grab an extra; will pay for shipping, too.

I too would love a Playbill from tonight if anyone manages to grab an extra! I'd gladly pay for shipping, PM me!

[jacobsnchz14]

I would also pay for an extra Playbill!

Any other merch? 

[broadwayboy222]

Any stage door reports?? Curious if any of the cast signed/what the set up is like with this being a new theater?

Looks like Jake stagedoored!

There was a lot of merch, unfortunately I didn't get a pic. Three different t shirts, a full zip hoodie, magnets, I believe a pen. I'll try to get a pic when I go back Wednesday.

Some merch that I remember:

There was a black cap with "and i made a hat" embroidered on it; magnet; tshirt; hoody, pen, postcards (4 kinds), poster (1 kind), etc.

Stage door was a looooong wait. Thing is, there are so many doors at the Hudson! Some cast members went out the front; some went out to the side doors to the Millennium hotel, and exited from there, etc. but both Annaleigh and Jake exited at the official stage door on 45th street. It was a long wait... they exited at roughly 1am (roughly 2 hours after the show ended.) Hope this helps!

Now that important things like merchandise and the stage door have been addressed....HOW WAS THE SHOW?????

 

Edit:  just saw the comments on the other thread.

Isn't the official stage door on 44th st, not 45th?

We've been using the other thread. Like you, I much rather be discussing the show. Only two of us have posted about it tonight, so far.

It was my first time watching the show so I don't have anything to compare it to but overall as a first timer to Sunday I enjoyed this production. I was awake every minute and absolutely enjoyed the experience. Then again, I did sit in a rush seat so my experience may have been different from someone sitting in the last row of rear balcony.

As for this evening, if you were one of the first 30 people inside the theater, they gave you a free glass of champagne. SO COOL! Never experienced anything like that before. They allowed us to enter the theater at 7:30pm but had to stay in the lobby area. The actual seating area wasn't opened until 7:45-ish. Show started late at around 8:13.

Who knows... but the black SUV was waiting on the 45th street side.

Would this be the nondescript door with the green step, just left of the Millennium Broadway Hotel entrance on 45th?
