Only get to nyc about once per year but do it right when i go. retired. limited funds. but love my broadway and every minute in the city. in roanoke virginia
I’m headed to the city Jan 14- 18 Anyone here have insider knowledge of the schedule of the principles in the cast. I wonder if any are taking vacation days in January. I’d love to see them all. (Although I’m afraid I may be watching the very tall, very hairy chorus boy/man whenever he’s on stage) Thanks ever so.

Exactly.

Thanks so much carolinaguy and larryd2. I really appreciate the information and your logical conclusions. Very much appreciated.
I will be in nyc in January and don’t want to see the show without her. I’ll be there midweek (T,W,Th). Strategizing rarely works for me but I feel the need to try. By the show description it sounds like a rather “draining” show for an actor. Is she “always” in or mostly? Does she miss a lot? Who, actually, is her replacement?
Ethan slater -on or off? Jun 3

Well I decided to go tonight - Saturday, thinking that if he was going to be in it would be then. Nope. He was out. Oh well. Enjoyed the show anyway.
There are four performances of spongebob this weekend. I have heard Ethan slater was very ill a couple of days ago. I have heard he takes off sundays. Does anybody have inside information. Is he well now? Should we expect him in any performances sat or Sunday?

Wow. Attitude much? Your response doesn’t answer the question. I think adults can be forgiven for concluding that this is a kids show. A kids show that is evidently entertaining for adults as well.

And yet, how is one to know that it is more than a kids show?
Spongebob- enjoyable for adult not bringing kids? May 6

Wow. You guys know how to sell a show. I’m headed to nyc with 10 other gay guys. Sounds like a fun time to me. And re comparison to carousel. Reminds me of my last trip. I’m trying to be a little more “highbrow” and get something more from my Theatre experiences. I had seen two heavy plays. Yes, important but heavy. Including a 4 hour show. It was great but I was exhausted. And actually decided to change course for the trip and not see anything else for the last two days. I

Thanks guys. I just read the nyt review. He does a good job of speaking to who might enjoy it. Even though if don’t fit the demographics (and neither did he) I think I’ll give it a go.
I’m enjoying the music I am thinking of seeing the show. There are some pretty good discounts and seat selection. The show seems fun but to what degree is this a kids show? Is there enough here for an adult to enjoy without kids.

The other is "Choreography" from the movie. Seeing Vera Ellen dance is magnificent. Also, 1+1=3 from Side Show (revival version) is a hilarious and amazing song."
So envious. You can dance and you work on bway. Congratulations.
I've seen all the shows that opened this past season (except CFA) and Groundhog Day is the one I would recommend to most of my friends. It's funny, incredibly creative, and a great character transformation from beginning to the end.

"Give the music another listen. It's brilliant and even melodic. Of all the shows I saw this year it is ghd that I play repeatedly.
I absolutely love GHD, have seen it 4 times, and I think the first 25 mins is supposed to irk you in a way! You're witnessing what Phil is witnessing, the same redundant annoying alarm clock and marching band. Although I love the show and happily listen to the cast recording almost daily, there is still something innate about wanting the redundancy to stop. You're feeling how Phil is feeling! And that is part of what makes it great.&
I have to agree with those here who endorse Groundhog Day. And for the same reasons. This production will have to be changed dramatically for a tour. Andy Karl won't be in it. Even the stunts will probably change. This Is your one chance.
I loved the music and even the ideas presented (if one cares to pay attention to those things). So much to think about in the hours and days after you see it.
