I barely heard anything regarding this show, and am very active in the theatre community so I was shocked at how good it was!
Don't get me wrong, not a very well written show. At all. But, I did walk out humming 3 different melodies, which was 3 more than I was expecting. It was very enjoyable, and entertaining.
The only *major* critque I have other than above is that (spoiler) Jane and Calergo are dating, and then the la
I saw the DEH matinee a year ago (they had an emergency alert throughout NYC) and all they did was inform us that about 13 minutes into the show our phones would go off, so completely shut them off. They put a slip into our playbills as well.

I thought I was the only one who thought he didn't deserve a nom. He REALLY wasn't that great. I would have rather seen anyone else honestly. Both times I went, I was never blown away.
Am I the only one convinced Once on this Island will get scenic design over spongebob?

I looked at Miss Saigon and about 5 hours before the show the only tickets that were avaliable were last row mezz for $25,000!!
