The link broke on me, but LMM just signed every bit of merchandise with his name on it at the DBS before heading off to Puerto Rico for their Hamilton launch.
She owes nothing to anyone given her medical/family situation and she's still going out of her way to appreciate her fans in some capacity. That's some next level kindness she's showing.
FWIW, the Beaumont Stage Door never really gets super-packed, so the few people who are there are in for a nice surprise.

I think that marquee cast, in addition to having a slightly shorter run, and the novelty of a “Broadway debut” on its 50th anniversary.
IdinaBellFoster said: "A little surprised they left everyone in HEAD OVER HEELS featured. I just hope we don't end up with 4 Best Actress in a Musical nominees this year."
I was perplexed by that too, but after reconsideration, there isn't really anyone in the show I would call "leading", since it's truly an ensemble piece. Plus, featured actor/actress have expanded to 6 nominees in the past, so I could definitely see Rachel York and Bonnie Mill

Or are they just grateful to have the chance to keep doing the show? It's such an unusual position to be in--the show atrophying money that simply won't call it a day."
I'm very, very hesitant about a film version of this because the stage version, by design, made the material work in an intimate, almost claustrophobic way, that a film version would lose.
Cooper and Toni Collette do sound like they could nail it, but let's not get ahead of ourselves on Cooper. A STAR IS BORN is a creature of mostly his making, and so was tailor made by him, for him to star in and shine in his own way. Though many actors can get away with one hit musical film i

It’s on TDF for a ton of dates next week.
BinaryC said: "Anyone do TDF lately for this show? Was debating whether to do TDF or rush if anyone has any opinions on the pros and cons of both, thanks! (I know rush is slightly cheaper). I just don't want to end up in the balcony."
Just go for rush. It's cheaper and historically has put patrons closer to the stage, often in the front row (which isn't ridiculously obstructed). Based on what I've witnessed, and from friends who've went, the balco
bandisepic said: "I saw the show again this weekend and Al honestly isn't that bad. His Joe is a little more friendly and less grumpy than Dakin and the others but Take It From an Old Man was actually quite cute. Plus Al sings it in the original key which is a bit high so props to him!"
I feel like that makes a lot of sense as an actor/character choice. Al Roker is literally sunshine, so I think people would be disappointed if he played it as a straight up crab-a
All of these answers are coming from a theatregoer who is 6'8 and 300+ (evenly distributed) pounds:
Are patrons expected to stand to let others take their seat? Or will a slight shifting of the legs suffice?
Considering most theatres do not have enough room in the row for two people to occupy the space at the same time, it's smarter to stand and shrink yourself as best you can. If you see me coming and you decide to only shift your
I’m going to a costume party next week and the theme is “Murder She Wrote”/Angels Lansbury.
I was wondering if you guys know how I should go about crafting a MAME costume. I have a dress already, but the suggestions online are all wildly different.
