I didn't hear about this until I read about it on the Hollywood reporter.
So, he asks passerby to give one-line reviews of a fake Broadway show about the Miracle on the Hudson starring Matthew Broderick... and then he puts on (a piece of) the show.
It's a very funny commentary on adaptations. Did you see it? I think a lot of you would have something to say.
Atunes, that's so cool. He's very talented, and it was very nice to see him conducting and having a great time at the show!
I do have a question, although it may come from the fact that I have no music education whatsoever. Music directors and conductors who have listened the new cast recording, please chime in!

By the time I saw the show, I already knew the album by heart, so I was very surprised to hear that the live I'
BPfan81, I'm sorry, but I saw it about two weeks ago (and that's it, since I don't live in the US), but I'm 90% certain Paul Staroba was the conductor I saw on Sept. 8. You thinking it was him is sort of confirming it to me! I saw him from Row N, so maybe you were clsoer? Hahaha. Did you see the show that week as well?
Edit: Also, I just looked him up and he was Associate Conductor on War Paint.
Thanks for starting this! I was very curious about this as well. Before opening the thread, something in me knew it was going to be about the MFL conductor.
I sat on the far side of the orchestra my second time seeing the show and I couldn't help but watch him. It looks like he has the time of his life every evening. I even saw him mouthing the lyrics.

What’s with people smuggling outside food? I know but security does not have time to go throughly through by everybody’s bags but this week I had one of my seat neighbours bring in a noisy bag of M&m s from the flagship store and another smuggled in a bag of McNuggets and crunched the bag every time she had one. The worst part about the latter? After the show I saw her going in at the stage door because she was a guest of someone on the cast.

Saw it tonight (9/6). I got Madison. I have not seen Katrina, but from the videos I’ve seen, Madison’s Dina felt sweeter. I asked Sharone at the stage door and she’ll be on as Dina on Saturday at 2 and on Sunday at 3.

Tonight (Wedney evening show) it was only a couple people deep. Taylor, Kate, Erika, Ashley, Kyle, and Grey came out. From what I see here, that doesn’t happen often?
(I can't say I'm not a bit bummed to miss Katrina, especially since she has done every single show, but it must be very exciting for both of them to go on and that makes me excited as well)
