Hi im drew and i LOVE NYC and Broadway i go to a performing arts high school and major in Musical Theatre there. I go to NYC once every year and see about 8-10 broadway shows over a week! Some of my favorite shows are: Ragtime, Les Mis, Into the Woods, Sound of Music, Next to Normal, Evita, Miss Saigon, Follies, Hello Dolly, In the Heights, Phantom of the Opera, On the Record, Memphis, Once, Billy Elliot, and probably hundreds more!!!
BEETLEJUICE - Pre-Broadway Tryout in DC Oct 15

Can anyone comment on the level of vulgarity in the show? Just really curious since the show was marketed as being pretty innapropriate. Are we talking BOM level or slightly lesser? Is it notably much more so than the movie is? Any censored examples? (Sorry for all the questions, I’m just incredibly curious as to it based upon the marketing haha) Very excited for this to come to NYC in the spring with this wonderfully talented cast!
Any word on rush for this? I know the Broadway usually has had rush for most all the shows that have played there the past several years, so would be odd if they didn't for this?

How was Betty vocally? Similar to Bette and Bernadette, or did she use any of the higher keys that were used for Donna? Also, did you Stage door and if so, who all came out? Glad to hear the production is in solid shape in comparison to the gem of the Broadway production that sadly just left us!

Interesting. From this picture on Instagram, it seems that the passarelle, is included, but the opening where the pit is, seems much smaller to me than the one on Broadway. Was anyone in attendance at the invited dress tonight? I’m just a little excited about this tour, if you couldn’t already tell..... ????

Anyone think we will get a picture of Betty in the red dress like we did for Bette and Bernadette to commemorate the first preview tommorow?? So excited to hear reports from tomorrow night’s show!!
Thinking about Mary as I was unfamiliar with her work prior to having seen her in the national tour of Cabaret, in a truly thrilling performance with incredible vocal chops as Fraulein Schneider, and was quite surprised to see that she hadn't done much in the way of major roles, aside from smaller replacement and understudy jobs and roles in several flops such as Hands on a Hardbody, Footloose, and replacing in the original Into The Woods as both the Baker's Wife and Th
What's Next for the Imperial? Aug 7

I believe he meant that beginning next month the theater would be available, not necessarily that Moulin Rouge would be there then. However, I do believe that Moulin Rouge would be a great fit for either the Imperial or Winter Garden and do hope it ends up taking one of those. Not a fan of the idea of it going into the Hirschfeld, as I don’t believe that space is near as opluent and lavish enough for Moulin Rouge.
Brandon is quite the handsome fellow, but let's also not forget about Henry Gottfried whom
Brandon replaced!

Sorry to disappoint! However, I still would go to the box office and definitely inquire about it! You never know what could happen! Also, I know you stated you weren’t interested in SRO, and I completely understand the hesitation, especially if for medical reasons you cannot stand, however if you are able to SRO really isn’t too terrible, with the view being virtually unobstructed (with the only exception being one short scene in the first act between Cornelius and Barnaby on the second level of

Unless there’s something I am unaware of, getting a rush ticket is most likely not going to be offered for a Bette performance. Rush tickets have only been for Donna and Bernadette performances. SRO is the only rush type/priced level ticket offered for Bette. Granted there could be something that I am not aware of but when I saw Bette SRO was the only rush type option.
Come From Away Tour Casting Jul 31

Intrigued that no news source has mentioned who will be playing who?? Any speculation?
I would not say Buckley is as high profile/demand of a Broadway name as Gavin or Kate, as it has been over 20 years since her last performance on a Broadway stage in Triumph of Love. Yes her career is very noteworthy, even iconic by some standards, but I would not put Buckley on the same level as Gavin and Kate in terms of current relevance and status on Broadway. However I am quite excited to see Buckley, as I have never seen her live and am quite a fan of hers!
As much as I'd burst with excitement if they were to, I'd say the chances are doubtful. Most higher profile Broadway actors such as Kate and Gavin don't typically do national tours.
1. According to several Instagram stories by several Carousel cast members, today marked Jess LeProtto's final day in Carousel. Which, I assume may mean that full cast rehearsals for Dolly will be ramping up very soon.
2. On Garrett Hawe's story noting Jess's final show, his caption stated "Happy trails.... for now. " Which makes me wonder if Garrett may also be a memb

Just got home from a week in NYC, saw: Hello Dolly The Band’s Visit Carousel Phantom Anastasia Spongebob Mean Girls and Frozen
Of those shows for Hello Dolly I walked up at around 5:30-6:00 and got a partial view balcony seat for 39.00, however the view was quite partial as I had to lean all the way forward to see anything, and I have heard that they do sell orchestra seats for 39.00 as well. For Band’s Visit I was able to line up around 8:00-8:30 and wa
