Actors Equity in New York yesterday gave out a number of comps. They are all in the balcony.

Yes, I was there but I don't think it seemly to comment on rehearsals. I'll chime in when it begins performances.

It's always been proper etiquette to not comment on dress rehearsals. I'm not sure why you are interpreting his post negatively.

Particularly a dress rehearsal 5 days before the first preview. I can't imagine all the tech elements were in place.

Their final dress is Tuesday. I wonder with the storm that's on track if they'll be forced to cancel it.

A Chorus Line played its final Broadway performance on August 17, 2008. The tour played its final performance on August 21, 2011. A new non-equity tour started in October 2012 played its final performance on March 23, 2013.

I was looking through Instagram photos of the shubert to see if any cast members have taken pictures of the set(found none), but I was confused by this photo. https://instagram.com/p/BRhT_cclDXw/

Does Bette have two dressing rooms?? I get she's a huge star, but why would she need two dressing rooms, which are also on separate floors.

But that doesn't matter, because we're all here. And with all of our differences we have one thing in common. We're all gay.

I guessing that one is an actual dressing room and the second will be more of a sitting room where she can visit with celebrity friends,in a slightly more "classy" way.

If we're not having fun, then why are we doing it? These are DISCUSSION boards, not mutual admiration boards. Discussion only occurs when we are willing to hear what others are thinking, regardless of whether it is alignment to our own thoughts.

Since Donna Murphy is only on once a week, my guess is that the first floor dressing room is hers when she's there, but Bette gets it the rest of the week. Just spitballing on that, though.

So kind of like the Bloomingdales room at DEH?

The first floor room might be used for changes during the show.

"You travel alone because other people are only there to remind you how much that hook hurts that we all bit down on. Wait for that one day we can bite free and get back out there in space where we belong, sail back over water, over skies, into space, the hook finally out of our mouths and we wander back out there in space spawning to other planets never to return hurrah to earth and we'll look back and can't even see these lives here anymore. Only the taste of blood to remind us we ever existed. The earth is small. We're gone. We're dead. We're safe." -John Guare, Landscape of the Body

The "star" dressing room at the Shubert just off the stage is fairly small (some shows have used it as a Stage Management office instead.)

As others have speculated, I assume the secondary dressing room for Midler on the second floor will double as a green room for her guests and also give her more space to sprawl out between shows, etc.

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.

Considering how many elaborate costumes and changes Doll goes through throughout the show, maybe one room is dedicated to Bette's costumes and the costume changes?

Girl; I don't know where you think you were..but you weren't there because it hasn't happened yet. I believe there first invited is this afternoon. Geese so much BS on this board.

Could be that they are apart of the production? Give them the benefit of the doubt. Pretty sure someone wouldn't post that if it wasn't actually true, since people on here should know they'll be called out on the spot.

But that doesn't matter, because we're all here. And with all of our differences we have one thing in common. We're all gay.

It could be Jorge. But it isn't. It is true they might've seem a run through. But the invited dress rehearsals have not begun.

There are dress rehearsals before invited dress rehearsals. In fact the cast has probably been in costume (or parts thereof) for a couple weeks already.

Well this is getting juicy.

If the final dress on Tuesday is cancelled, I hope it won't affect the first preview.

Nobody said they were at an invited dress rehearsal... just simply that they were there. Sit down.
