Hi all! I went to opening night of the show tonight and it was incredible!! Definitely needs a Broadway transfer... the cast completely knocked it out of the park!

The orchestra is pretty much a part of the set- Staircases and platforms are built around them.
The Lamberb Wall got applause as soon as the first notes started, and rightfully so, it was the highlight
I just looked into this and holy **** is it wild... her Instagram story alone is a trip. As a younger Broadway fan (I'm 20) I hate that this is the group that we get lumped into. It's because of people like this that I don't really talk about Broadway on my social media accounts anymore... after seeing how teenagers treated the cast of the Falsettos revival it's just become too much to be a part of anymore. Too many people just don't respect actors as human beings and it&#

They do have a Lobby Herowindowcard for sale for $20 and Second Stage branded magnets. The tiny merchandise stand is on the low

As a novice scenic designer myself, Mean Girls shouldn't have been nominated for Scenic Design. Projections design needs to be its own separate category, especially as it is a completely different design process than designing a set.
People are complaining about how weak this season is- Broadway seasons ebb and flow. In my opinion, 15-16 was our most recent "stand
Given who's hosting, we probably get some sort of all-nominees medley thing for the opening number (I hope to god it's more NPH than Sp*cey, but I'm gonna set my hopes on something at least vaguely Corden-esque.) Spongebob will probably do Bikini Bottom Day or even Best Day Ever, but I can also see them doing a few verses of I'm Not a Loser and Simple Sponge as well. I'm hoping OOTI does Why We Tell The Story (I loved it at the Thanksgiving Parade) and Frozen will probably

Me and My Girl with Christian Borle as Bill has actually been my dream Encores show for a while now! That being said, I'd love to see Parade with Brandon Uranowitz, some sort of staged production of Elegies, and Side Show as well!
Thank you for this! I am coming for one day to see Lobby Hero and Me and My Girl next Wednesday, and I was hoping the small backpack I plan on bringing wouldn't be an issue!
You should never expect anything from people at stage doors- Lucas Steele didn't say one word to me at the Great Comet stage door, but I didn't care. I found out later that he was on vocal rest, but I was just grateful I got to meet him and get my playbill signed- no one owes you conversation. Lots of people will argue that if they don't want to engage then they shouldn't stage door, but I applaud them for choosing to still meet and sign for fans, even if they have a good excu
I just bought a ticket to the matinee of Lobby Hero on May 9- I am also seeing Me and My Girl at New York City Center that night, as was wondering if I should plan to stage door after the matinee. I've heard mixed accounts of people's stage door experiences at Lobby Hero, but if there is a decent chance I could catch any of the four cast members at the door then I don't want to miss out!
honestly, they had me fooled when i first saw the picture- once i thought about it for more than 12 seconds i realized it was fake, but i still applaud their level of commitment to the bit by getting into each other's full costumes and makeup!
Has anyone had any success in scoring student rush tickets to Lobby Hero? I'm planning a trip to the city for a few days in May, and I'm wondering whether it's better to buy a ticket now at full price or to spring for a discount right before the show.
I'm considering flying in for one night just to see this show- I was hoping they'd cast Christian as Billy and now that it's happening I can't miss it!
Honestly, the worst audience experience I've had was when a bunch of people at one of my college's plays kept making loud comments and reactions every time one of their friends was onstage. However, I had an odd experience with Broadway ushers back in August- I was attending an evening performance of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory when a technical failure left a few of the cast members stranded onstage when a moving scenery piece got stuck. Jackie Hoffman had made a very loud, funn
