How old is too old to send fanmail? Dec 16
2019, 03:26:29 PM
22 and I still send fanmail as well (though admittedly, they mostly go to stage managers). Don't let people get you down about it, I've seen people in their 30's still write to their favorite actors/actresses. I never include my age in my letters anyway, it's irrelevant. So you wouldn't even have to worry about, "Will he/she think I'm too old for this?!" If anything, just write a bit differently since you are older, if you know what I mean. (example: don't gush along the lines of, "YOU'RE S

I actually like the new version of “It Roars” but can’t say I love removing Regina’s “Someone Gets Hurt” reprise at the end of Act 1. I hope that somehow stays."
I was at the show last night. Here are some changes off of the top of my head (that may or may not be identical to the tour's). That being said, if I forgot something or it's slightly off, please don't be quick to shoot me down. I didn't even know changes were being implemented tonight and it's not like I was taking notes =)

Asking as someone who hasn't seen this on tour (and probably won't since I've already seen this on Broadway). What staircase?

In the playbill, such as a Phantom playbill, which is a show that has an alternate actress for Christine, the alternate is billed as"Christine (at certain performances)" or just "alternate Christine"."
Yes, I'm sure the role has two alternates, as I didn't use the word "understudy" for a

Just skimmed my POTO playbill from back in August and I noticed that Raoul had two alternates (for a total of 3 actors on the role). Is there any reason for that? Forgive me if I'm wrong, but the role of Raoul doesn't seem nearly as taxing as The Phantom, and even if it was, why would the role need to be shared among 3 different actors? The only thing I can think of is that they all have other obligations.
I believe School of Rock eventually had the role of Dewey Finn have an alternate go on for matinees(?). Though they didn't start out with one at the beginning of the run.
Favorite Flop? Nov 20

I feel like I'm the only one on this board that loved King Kong. It was incredibly cheesy and predictable for sure, but entertained me throughout and the puppet really was enough to keep me in awe.

I won MR back in September, but from a waitlist because someone didn't claim tickets. I was in the far right MEZZ, partially blocked by the elephant trunk. But honestly, it didn't ruin my experience at all; at most, it blocked one or two ensemble members.
I've only seen the '19 revival of Kiss Me, Kate!, so while I don't know how it fared in other productions, I didn't care at all for "Brush Up Your Shakespeare." It felt like a number that was just there to pass time (which it probably was for costume changes or whatever else), and got little to no laughs from my theatre. I might've found it funnier if it was shorter, but in my opinion it just dragged on.

I haven't sat first row at the Nederlander, but my friend did for Pretty Woman. Said the stage was higher than her eye level and that she couldn't see sets or the lower half of people further down the stage; 'lots of neck craning.

I did a Tuesday this month, got there at exactly 7:09. Someone came at almost the exact time as me (literally 2 seconds earlier), so that was a bit sad for me. This put me as third on line. I don't know when the first guy got there.
There were 10 people on line by 8:00.
I got Right ORCH Row N to the far right; about 3 seats from the end of the aisle next to the wall. I forget if it was labeled as partial or not, but while I feel like I didn't miss anything, my companion did.
As someone who loves both Mean Girls and Beetlejuice, I think they both have pros and cons. (Though, admittedly Beetlejuice is my favorite of the two, so I'm a biased party.)
Choose Beetlejuice for better visuals (costumes, effects, but especially the set); it's the bigger spectacle in that sense. If your daughter/family is a fan of dark humor though, this should be the easy choice. Admittedly, there are pacing issues and one or two numbers that feel unnecessary long, but o

They are! I rushed for a matinee back in July =)

I won earlier in the month. I forget the exact row and seat #, but it was in the rear right MEZZ, second to last row on the rightmost seat closest to the wall. Stage was full view, but I would've loved to be closer. Can't complain for the price though.
Seat next to me was empty, but the one after that seated another lottery winner. We both won via waitlist, so I'm not sure if that was a factor of our seats or not. I do know that the other people around us paid full price for their ticke

Was anyone at that table that decided to go "$1 for everything you can hold" at around 4:00? Geez, that was crazy. A lot of pushing towards the front and no one letting anyone leave. I'm guessing this is what Curtain Call looked like before 10:00?
Saw a man walk away with more than a handful of the signed SoR posters. To me, looked like more than double what I got, but it's not like I tried to count. I was luckily able to grab 5, one for me and 4 friends who staye
