Into Act 2 rn, loving it so far. Agree the autotune can be a bit much (mostly from Blanchard), but the feel of this album is incredible. Love the synths on "The Meek Shall Inherit," I didn't notice that when I saw the show, but they are great!
Every single thing about this show just makes me want to go back. Still praying it goes into a open-ended run at some point, kind of doubt at this point, but this show is just fantastic.
Apparently Alex Brightman changed the "F*** Brigadoon" line last night to "F*** The Music Man." A neat little change, even as some people take very seriously. Curious if they will keep it in the show or if it was a one night thing.
SeanMartin2 said: "Probably because so many of them dont have release dates."
I get that, but to me that is ridiculous. Playbill has a similar list but for shows coming to Broadway. They have it listed as the ones that definitely are coming and then for projects that have little information, an "in development" section. It is not up to date by any means, but I feel like that works. There is no reason to have Cats, a movie coming out next week, next to Come
Why is the list in alphabetical order? It would have made a lot more sense for the order they are coming out in or, for the ones with no date yet, when they are expected to come out.

I was slightly worried there might be some sort of scheduling nonsense but I never imagined it would only run 5 weeks. Oof. Should have known better I suppose. But. Still. Oof."
It is CSC's last show of their season, so it could easily extend. They probably will as it was announced with a run into June, at least a few more weeks.
It's been mentioned on this board multiple times, but it does not. It claimed Company was going to go to Studio 51, when at that point it already confirmed to be going to a Shubert house. Looking up NYTix in the se

MM is pretty much set for the WG, but I'm curious why there is no official announcement yet? Even the MM website still says it's going in "a Shubert theater," but nothing else. I wonder when that will be announced on it taking the WG.

The only exception I can find is Hamilton, but honestly nothing can beat that original Hamilton hype obviously so we might not find out for Sing Street at least until the run is over.
Edit: More have as I've looked into it. Shows like Dear Evan Hansen, Fun Home, and Be More Chill did, but only near the end of their off-B'way run (probably at
Wick3 said: "From looking at the grosses for the Winter Gardenin recent years, I noticed School of Rock still had a weekly gross of $2,022,136 for 9 performances the week between 12/25/16-01/01/17."
I am wondering with BJ's current momentum if they could break that in the next few weeks.

Any idea when and where to find the $99.00 seats? I can't locate them."
Just by looking on Telecharge. Some dates might just not have those seats open. Even from what I can see, the $99 seem sparse, some dates only having around on
Broadway Buddy said: "I don’t care who I see as Seymour. I’m big Glick and Groff fans, but Christian is one of my idles!"
Same here. Seriously I don't know how anyone can top Borle if/once he leaves. I hope to be wrong, as I want this show to stay in NYC for as long as possible, but I can't think of any good replacements that would sell as much as Borle.
JaredBway said: "Is there a possibility of this extending through the end of March or beyond?"
This is just a guess, but it seems they want to see if the show has a life outside of Groff. If Glick can pull in some more sales, I could see this extending or even turning into an open run (or maybe that is just my hopes).
I kind of hope they turn that production into an open-run, like Rock of Ages just did. Probably would have to be a new cast (even as I can't even think how anyone can top Borle in his roles), but to have this show stay in NYC would be great.
