I'm sorry--why does casting have to be a secret? There are plenty of people who aren't in the industry yet know people in casting so they know who the next Jenna is. Lucie drama aside, I really don't think it has to be unless they build it up as one. Which they haven't done as far as who will be Shoshana's replacement (yet).

There are rules at a theater. Respect others and they'll be no problems."
Bad Theater Behavior May 9

Not so much bad theater behavior as a question about something that I didn’t want to start a new thread for.
So, even though ushers tell you not to, there are preshow things like at Waitress and Kinky Boots, and reminders during intermission not to, it’s okay for people to take bootlegs and audio of performances and they’re applauded for getting it if people ask. However, then someone speaks up and says it’s illegal, wrong, distracting to the performers (don’t tell me it isn’t, Lin-Man

I cant even tell you how many times Ive either had to tell someone to put away their phone or have seen people recording/taking photos. The following quote is from Jessica Vosk.
Hi guys. When you film from the front row...just know, I can see it. And it totally takes us out of the moment. Please enjoy yourself and put the screen away. I want to give you the best show I can. Much love.
Its enough!!!
Hadestown Rush/SRO Updates May 6

When you get down to it, Broadway is a business. And their business in particular has to deal with supply and demand. They can’t lower ticket prices just because so many people want to see it who can’t. There are production costs, things to pay for so the show can continue to be there. So when the demand for tickets becomes so high that they don’t have enough of a product to go around, that’s when rush comes into play. Be thankful it exists?
Ooooooh and I think Tee Boyich had been with Mean Girls since very early readings like...as early as the first workshops in 2016. That's a long time to be involved with a show, especially since she didn't continue on in the lead as Cady (even if she got to be the standby).

The Great Comet and Hadestown share only one thing in common: their director. That’s it. Wildly different shows and scores and vibes. If you’re intrigued and can afford

I actually have no idea why I connected the two...maybe it's just because of the director. But that's no reason to think they'd be the same style....but I am wondering if there'd be a certain audience that would enjoy both, or if they're so different

So I was looking at the cast list for Waitress on playbill.com, and other shows (purely out of curiosity), and I noticed that Stephanie Torns has been with the show since it opened. I know she was also with it when it had its run at A.R.T. Christy Altomare and John Bolton have been with Anastasia since Hartford as well (so that gives them 3 years, I think?). That's a while to be with a show! But it makes me think about other long-running shows and ensemble members...like who has been with

heah but I’ve done it more than most and tbh I’m embarrassed about that. You’re right.
