I'm very excited to see SJP and Broderick on stage together. SJP has been so busy with tv and film the past few years that it will be great to see her back on Broadway.
I saw Tootsie for the 3rd time on Saturday night (lottery) and was happy to see that the house was full. Hopefully this will be another good week for them.
I also don't think Frozen is going anywhere anytime soon. I think it will at least get to the 2 year mark early next year.
Considering Tom Schumacher recently said he is knee deep in the BATB revival and we also know the Mary Poppins revival is coming to the West End soon, I'd say one of those is more likely to open on Broadway before Hercules. However, I wouldn't mind seeing them develop a theme park version of Hercules.
I saw Ben Platt give a mini-concert at the US Open last Monday night and one of the songs was called "Rain". They even played it in the stadium later that night during a player break.
I hope this production sticks around for a while on the West End. I'm hoping to get there next year.
I saw Ainsley perform on Broadway and he was wonderful. Hopefully this filming will be released in the US but I do hope they eventually bring him back to the Broadway company.
Sarah Stiles has been out on vacation the past few days so I'd expect her to be there after this week
I haven't seen Jeff Kready perform yet but the buzz seems positive so far should Santino be out. Actually if Santino's absence is announced, I may try the lottery to see Jeff.
The other understudies I've seen in this show have all been excellent

Is there a cast list for this yet? I know Courtney Reed and Ainsley Melham were there based on social media but haven't found many articles talking about this.

They did move their people around. Clinton Greenspan joins the Broadway company directly from the North American tour."
DoTheDood said: "Beetlejuice moving would be interesting as they would have to update the opening number."
Do you mean update the lyrics to the opening song? They've done that pretty much for every tv performance already (Today Show, etc). That's probably my favorite part of watching the cast perform that song in different places.
I ended up winning the lottery last minute yesterday so I saw this again last night. House seemed like it was full. There were several understudies on including for Sarah Stiles. Leslie Flesner was on as Sandy. I thought she did a great job but seeing someone else in the role made me realize just how much Sarah Stiles steals the show. Finally got to meet Santino at the stage door as well so it was a good night overall.

How will Frozen 2 affect Frozen Broadway? Aug 27
2019, 05:34:44 PM
All the feedback I’ve seen from the D23 Expo this weekend about Frozen 2 was positive. I’ve seen lots of comments from people who said they were unsure before the Expo and now plan to see it.
As for the Broadway show and tour, I expect to see a lot of cross-marketing as others here have stated. Though I expect we will see it in both NY and LA and possibly at the theme parks where they usually do extended previews before a movie releases.
I was surprised that the Broadway production didn't bring on Matt Croke next month since Disney likes to move their own people around. I think he does have another show lined up already but I don't know the timing of when he committed to it.
I like the idea of Tootsie moving to a smaller theater. I don't know about the logistics of doing so but if the show is at 70% capacity at the Marquis, then that could potentially be a full house or closer to it somewhere else.
I also had no idea who Colleen was until I read it here. But nice to see Waitress get such a huge boost. It was just announced over the weekend that Todrick wrote the music for a new parade at Disneyland launching in the Spring. Maybe that will also dr
I've never understood why Lara Spencer was promoted to "Co-Anchor" of GMA. She's not a journalist by any means and has always come across as extremely polarizing. She's one of the reasons I don't watch that show. Her comments were inappropriate and disgusting and have no place on a network like ABC. And shame on George and Amy for laughing as well.
It's unfortunate timing for Disney as this weekend is their D23 Expo which is held every other year. Ba
I thought she was terrific for a stunt cast. I actually thought her acting skills were stronger than her singing skills in this role. I'm not saying she was bad but she just didn't hit some of the notes the same way Chilina or Abby did. But I was very pleasantly surprised overall and thought she did a great job. Definitely worth a trip to the Sondheim in my opinion.
