Exactly. People who are complainingabout one of the most beautiful voices on Broadway clearly are people who haven't seen the show or have terrible seats for sound lines when they see it."
It's recorded well and is a pretty good sounding album. I caught the show earlier in the month, and didn't care for most of it, and that's still the case listening to it. Karen and Tveit do nothing for me live or on the album, and Tveit in particular seems to be even more vocally bland here than he was live.
Shame. It's my favorite movie, and I was hoping at least listening to the album, it might capture that feeling more, but the song choices still just leave me b

I just saw it tonight, and agree with a lot of what the two posters above me said. I'll start by saying I loved the sound design, and thought the lighting was fantastic. The set design was well done, but the costume design I didn't care for at all - the board shorts over pants look that the majority of the men were sporting was a bizarre choice.
And on the topic of the set & costume design, the apocalyptic design theme that they're going for here (which feels like the f
I don't know the plans for the show, but when the show loaded out at MTC, they saved the set, and all of that is in storage somewhere now. Could be for a transfer, or just for regionals that want to rent it.

That's true, but if they know in advance and put it in the playbill that, for example, Jeremy Stolle will be the Phantom on Thursday for both shows, as they did for today's performances, they won't put that on the understudy board.
Phantom is pretty good about updating their Playbills when they know in advance understudies will be on. I know Jeremy Stolle is on tomorrow for both Thursday shows, and it looks like Laird was on earlier this week. Unfortunately I'm not sure who it would be tonight.
Ben Crawford is the principle Phantom actor and he must have had a few days off booked for this week, so you may be seeing Laird tonight unless Ben had yesterday and tomorrow off, but not today.

In addition, when Norm Lewis began his run, they took that opportunity to add in some of the new orchestrations from the Las Vegas production, as well as adding Raoul back in to Wandering Child.

I'm living proof this isn't always the case - I'm adopted, and all three of my siblings are adopted, two joining the family when I was in my teen years, and they were 6 and 10 at the time, and I loved gaining siblings. Obviou
I unfortunately don't have any connections, but I have a suggestion that I think may help.
Send a letter to the PSM at the August Wilson stage door (I believe for Mean Girls, the PSM is Holly Coombs https://www.ibdb.com/broadway-cast-staff/holly-coombs-518148), let them know what you're hoping to do and ask if there's anyone that you can speak to about it. Include your phone number, email a
I've owned the script since it came out, but didn't read it since they pretty quickly announced the Broadway transfer, and it was worth the wait. I would recommend seeing the show without reading it beforehand - I was surprised by everything, and stuff that I felt wouldn't have worked for me on paper if I'd read it first worked because of the staging and production overall.
As far as thoughts on the story go, I really enjoyed it. I won't say more, because it re

I was at that performance, first time seeing the show. We absolutely loved Lauren as Delphi and Alanna as Myrtle. We didn't realize Lauren was an u/s until after the show. Tons of energy, and she was really fun. Does anyone know if that was her first time on?

I work in sound for a living, and I always recommend avoiding Beats. They're very expensive for the relatively low quality that they provide, both in terms of sound and build quality. Bose sounds better for sure. They aren't the best in terms of sound quality, b
