I tried on my phone and through the Telecharge site. Twice I had tickets in my cart for the final performance. I got all the way through to the "triple check" and then got a message it couldn't process the transaction. After a few more tries, I finally got tickets through the site only to find out one of my earlier transactions went through! Telecharge very easily corrected the error.
When was this originally recorded? I saw her at Strathmore in 2013, and she sang some of the same songs, but I don't think it was everything she sang last night.
Bummer. Guess I should put my hopes of a Vanessa Williams and Brian Stokes Mitchell pairing aside.
I'm speculating that since August 25th is a Saturday, that they'll resort to their 7 performance show schedule and no Donna Murphy (who I gladly would have made the trip to see again in the role).
The rights to the R&H catalog are no longer owned by the Rodgers and Hammerstein estate, hence they were able to get away with these ridiculous cuts. Someone mentioned in the Carousel preview thread who owns the rights now.
SonofRobbieJ, I was shocked when Julie didn't react to the knife in Billy's pocket. I've done this show before, and a lot of the nuances were gone from this production.
This has been happening for ages. I recall this happening when I saw Annie in 1978. As a kid, I kept thinking, why is everyone talking while the orchestra is playing?!
