She probably meant it as a joke. I think @dontpugme is right. She's trying to minimize the time she spends away from her country to make time
I've seen both (Mean Girls on Broadway, Legally Blonde during a local production in my country and the one shown on MTV) and I agree, Legally Blonde was the better show overall. The score is very catchy and hummable. None of the songs in Mean Girls stuck out to me. The cast for Mean Girls did a great job though!

But then everyone's thunder was stolen by Karen."
Karen was the funniest one in the show tbh!
That said, Taylor was great and definitely commanded people's attention. I think she dese
We had seats in the odd 200's (3rd row, in front of where Mama cooks before the show) and had a great view. But I noticed that the cast faced the even 200's side for most of the show so I feel like they got the best view overall.
I have not seen My Fair Lady so I cannot vouch for it but I think it would be better for you to watch Once on This Island now because depending on how it fares at the Tony's it likely won't be around for much longer. Plus I think Lea Salonga will only be around until June. The rest of the cast is fantastic though so you'd be in great hands regardless! It's a beautifully unique and immersive production and the experience won't be the same in a different theater.
When we watched the show earlier this month we managed to get autographs (and selfies, too!) with everyone except Lea and Hailey. Hailey did come out to say hi and chat with the crowd quickly but said she had to go early so she wouldn't be signing. As for Lea maybe it's because her daughter's in town. Everyone was really genuinely nice though and took the time to talk to the crowd while signing even if it was freezing cold that night!

I see. That makes sense. Was happy to have met everyone else though! Really talented cast and everyone seemed genuinely nice.
For Mean Girls the tickets we bought were regular price but they're cheaper on Wednesday matinees so we decided to spring for Orchestra Row G center seats. Great decision because we had an amazing view of the show! I definitely wouldn't have enjoyed it as much had I gotten seats farther back. We didn't miss a single thing on stage and at the same time got to see every facial expression on the actors' faces.
We also watched Anastasia on the same NYC trip and got

Sorry, this isn't directly related to the thread topic but does Lea ever stage door after a show? I've had the opportunity to catch the show 2 weeks ago and everyone but Lea came out to sign, as well.
