For the record, I did rush tickets. I arrived at the box office about 30 minutes after it opened and had no problem getting two tickets, they were great seats orchestra slightly left.
Desi Oakley is in fine voice and had the entire audience eating out of the palm of her hand.

I am worried about what might happen if they work on Act 1, as it seems like there isn't any extra "fat" they can get rid of (Except maybe the Phoenix/Frankie stuff, but how would "You Outta Know" happened?)

Also, I’d love to see Laurel Harris as MJ...the entire time she was onstage I wanted to hear her. "
It is likely that Amanda extended for a while (especially once she found out Jessica was he new Elphie, they were together on tour.)
Mariand Torres, the standby, will probably be leaving sooner rather than later. She is more than a year into her contract! I hope that Alison Luff or Laurel Harris get another chance to reprise their roles on Broadway (even as s/b).
An interesting thing to note is that the majority of the principal cast is from the 2016-2017 tour cast!&n

Based on the current press, it looks like they haven’t fixed the critical problem with the plot: it’s basically a lie. Winans is an incredibly talented musician and performer who also had some really low points in his life, and whose fame was often propelled with help from really unethical people. The musical just ignores those parts, including Jim Bakker’s crimes, BeBe’s own all

I saw the show Friday and I agree with everything said previously. The book needs some work, there were too many branches from the main story. I also was confused on who the main character was, obviously MJ, but for a while in act 1 Frankie would not leave the stage. Kathryn Gallagher was a stand-out for me, especially in her Act 2 song ‘Predator’. I wish they added more to her character in Act 1. We hear a lot about Bella’s (Her character) reputation but we never get to see what she is thinking
I was at the first preview and I enjoyed the show thoroughly! I am seeing it again tomorrow so I will post some views after the show then. Donald Webber Jr. and Loren Lott are both grea

My Moulin Rouge matinee was canceled and I was planning on doing SRO for the matinee. Looks like I'll have a good 6hrs to kill time and explore Boston instead."

Mary Kate Morrissey and Ginna Claire Mason both play their final performance (as of today, 5/31) on October 28, 2018.

Wait, I just thought of something. Why Ari and not Jenni Harney? That’s whatJenni Harney’s position is for.It couldn’t have been a last minute thing because I’m sure Shoba gave them notice about her brother’s graduation. Unless Jenni was on vacation. Interesting..."

We should know by next week who is replacing Ginna Claire. Elphie wise, Olivia Valli is reaching the 2-year mark on tour, so she might be leaving soon-ish.
Mary Kate and Chelsea are here until at least October. they just got a new Boq, Nessa, Diamond, and Morrible, so I think we are all set for th

I hope GC takes a break, she's been Glinda for 3 years now!
