I think a new city is being added to the national tours: Monterrey, Mexico (6-ish hours south of San Antonio).
They are opening a new venue with the tours of The Illusionists (?), Cinderella, and Chicago, and they are joining the next season with six shows per year through Broadway Across America.

This is what I do: I put them in a clear sheet protector (like, the plastic ones for binders); I fold it and seal it with masking tape; and then I put a binder clip on top to hang it from there. I don't have a lot of room, so this allows me to switch my faves from week to week. It looks like this:
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'
