Dear Evan Hansen and The Book of Mormon (really just the plight of Elder Cunningham):
A teenager struggling to fit in creates a lie, initially well-intended, which grows out of control and eventually they must face the truth.
Totally different treatments, endings, and messages, though.

I was at the final performance of NATASHA, PIERRE, AND THE GREAT COMET OF 1812 and it was one of the most memorable experiences I’ve had. Lots of extended applause and crying throughout.

But I think this was very extreme. Also, people weren't listening to the new guidelines set forth by the production. I think that is most likely the

The chances of winning the lottery are slim, and purchasing tickets at house prices or through resellers is out of budget for many, especially those who gave up so many hours to be on that rush line.

Actually, I think it is very clear. It's similar to Hamilton when it got popular. People were camping out at ridiculous hours, an

No, I ended up buying from iTunes. I haven’t confirmed other reports’ vendors but I suspect the issue is the same on multiple platforms. Reminds me of similar issues with the Hamilton instrumental album."
Daniel, I interpreted your initial comments that the lack of smooth transitions between some songs bothered you. Dramamama is sayi

My music comes from an Amazon download and, so far, happens when listening from the cloud. I'll be teying both directly from my echo and the dl on my phone."
Yes, I discussed this earlier in the thread. Most notably be

Gaps you mean? I only had that issue with Epic II and Chant and just used an editing tool to edit out the gap so it plays back seamlessly. The other tracks seemto be formatted for gapless playback just fine for me. I figured thiswould happen with the

I saw T. Oliver Reid as Hades on Friday, June 28, and Jessie Shelton as Eurydice on Friday, July 19. Jessie did just fine and so did T. Oliver (but Patrick Page's voice is really worth hearing live).

I heard Jon Stewart did the opening act on Wednesday evening and Ronny Chieng (crazy rich asians) did it last night. If anyone was there on those evenings, would be great to hear what happened."
SPOILERS:
I saw the show on Wednesday and Jon opened. He had a good set and closed by comparing his post-9/11 feelings with the feelings of tod

I plan to see it on July 25 and I'm not sure when to get in line - I've seen some posts say noon, some 10AM, and some 2pm... I know you can't really know for sure, but what do you guys suppose? It's a one-show day on a weekday. Hm."

Well, why would original musicals sell out from their first preview, unlike a $1B+ franchise like Harry Potter?!
That said, I don't think Hamilton belongs in that list. That had HUGE buzz coming from off-Broadway and seemingly pla

Why would you doubt their reporting?"
I explicitly said I'm not doubting it, but I am confused by it. Your reply made me curious, and according to their respective grosses page, Hamilton, Wicked, Dear Evan Hansen, The Book of Mormon, all did not sell out all of their tickets in the beginning, like Harry Potter did. Where
