I saw Be More Chill for a fifth time today. This show has meant so much to me since I discovered it just under a year ago. I recognize that this show may have faults. I know that there may be problems with the plot. I know that some of the audience would call me a "fAkE

That’s a good place in line. When I was 2nd in line I got center orchestra which is 2nd row but since the orchestra pit was there it was actually front row. Really fun show. We loved it. Hope you enj

Yes it does! 50 with three children who I take  to the theater as much as I can. I didn’t know this site existed until two months ago when I googled info on RUSH for Mean Girls. As for BMC...I started reading the thread because I bought tickets for my 15 yr old and

“Yes, Kad brought up some evidence that white 40 year old men are the dominate theatre goer, but in 2019, I find theatre to be very diverse and the audiences to be very diverse. "

I don’t know who made that comment but I’m a 50 yr old Hispanic woman and I completely understand that comment. When I started going to the theater in my early 20s, there were many people who didn’t look like me. I know for myself, cost was a huge factor and I can only imagine that

Nor did other cast members when I saw the show off-Broadway. I felt that was a real detriment to the show. Thisproblem seems to occur again and again inthese high-school musicals. In some cases, thestudents look so old that they could be teachers.



That’s how I felt about Ben Platt in Dear Evan Hansen ...he looked too old. Taylor Trensch was more believabl

None of his shows have really hadlong runs, one only needs to look at his show history.J an H one can argue was a "hit" as it ran almost four years,but it also was one that suffered from many different rewrites and restructuringand has about 3 versions of it.

I know how you feel. The last time I saw Dear Evan Hansen was back in Nov 2017 just for that same reason.

BTW, I didn't realize how much a comedy this musical was until I saw the concert. In the late 90s I recall listening to the CD cast album but didn't really catch the comedic elements as much (hence why it
