Sorry to bump/double post, but I just noticed that The Band's Visit was available on TodayTix today, with dates through December. Anyone have any insight into that? Is it not selling well or are they just trying to get a little bump for the holidays? Their numbers are pretty good, so I was just curious.
AGREED. It's easy to assume that Patti has been calling out due to mental illness, but I don't think that's the case for every time. I know she just recently missed a few days because she was on vocal rest. We don't know her or her life, as much as we think we might (myself included). People always focus on the negative- yes, she has missed A LOT of shows. More than most performers and certainly more than I'm allowed to miss at my job. But she's also been at MOST
Agreed that this show has a marketing problem. I'm arguably its target audience (under 20, female, LGBTQ, big proponent of a musical comedy) and I quite frankly have no real desire to see it. The ads all look too cartoonish and the music I've heard doesn't really excite me. However, I initially kind of felt that way about Head Over Heels and I actually really enjoyed that show, so maybe I'll give this one a go.
I don't think this is necessarily one of the absolute shortest, but I just saw Mean Girls and for someone who plays 3 separate characters, Jen Simard does not have a lot of stage time at all. The "Mrs. Heron" role is basically like 3 lines, Mrs. George has two relatively short scenes and Ms. Norbury probably has the longest part, but between the 3 roles it's still not a ton. I guess that's why they stick with one actress for all three roles?

Tee has kind of explained this and basically said that it's a numbers game. Tee, as the standby, should probably be the first to go on, but they also have to make sure that they have t
I saw Frozen with both Patti and Caissie and thought they were both fantastic. I think in terms of them being out a lot, Caissie had a pretty nasty throat infection for a solid week at least a bit ago, plus she has a young son and I know that she just took a personal day to spend with her family, and her son was sick a few days ago. As for Patti, I think that this is the first really big thing that she's ever done and her body/mind are probably having a hard time keeping up with the sched
Not sure if anyone knows, but do we think that all 3 Chers will be eligible for leading? Not sure about time on stage time for the three, but Stephanie J Block seems like the best contender out of the three?
Sorry to post on this thread again, but from what I'm seeing on Twitter...
Zach seems to be a "fan favorite" for Anastasia and people are pissed that his contract was bought out. Seeing a lot of comments about how its not fair that they bought out a hard working, trained musical theater actor for someone who has no training and who is already famous. I'm also seeing a lot of "this is pointless stunt casting, the show's numbers are fine!" which to my know
I think this is probably a somewhat misguided attempt to stop Anastasia's numbers from slipping more than they already have been. Misguided because no one over the age of maybe 15 (?) really knows/cares about this guy. I'm a pretty young theatergoer myself but his fanbase is tweens. I don't think this is going to go over well with the Anastasia fans. At all.

Or are they just grateful to have the chance to keep doing the show? It's such an unusual position to be in--the show atrophying money that simply won't call it a day."

I think part of it is that people who have rushed/won the lottery a bunch of times sometimes do that to see a specific person (especially an understudy, in the case of Mean Girls). Tee has a
Anyone have more details about Kerry Butler and her songs in the show? Post Mean Girls all I want for her is to be able to really shine (not that she wasn't great in mean girls, but she barely had a song)
Holy COW I am so excited about Jackie. She was my first Elphaba and the woman is a powerhouse. I'll be in LA for Christmas so this is honestly the best thing ever.
Sorry to bump the thread, but apparently today was the last day Mean Girls was doing a lottery?? Does anyone have more info?? A friend saw it today and said the box office was telling people this was the last one.
if anyone was dying of curiosity, I moved from the balcony to the third row of the orchestra during intermission after asking the head usher. Loved the show and cannot wait to go back
