I LOVE this show. I fell in love with it about a month too late, but I did get to see the reunion concert at Town Hall they did in December 2016, and that was wonderful. As others have stated, it's not perfect, but it's sweet, the score is different than what we usually hear on Broadway, the cast was AMAZING, and it would have been interesting to see what would have happened had the show opened a) in a different season, and b) in a different theatre (because the Cort is a little out o
But also, I can't seem to find any of the reviews yet. I keep refreshing a Google search of "Slave Play Broadway" with a time filter for the past 24 hours and it's just the same few articles from yesterday.
Has anyone else bought for The Lightning Thief yet?

In line to pick up lotto tickets for Tootsie... we’ve been here for about twenty minutes and they are just trying to keep the crowd informed. (And doing a great job!) Emergency lights are on but all the marquees around us are out. A little eerie.
Someone correct me if I am wrong, but it would Equity’s call to make regarding cancellation, no? Or at least a factor?

Jelani? I’ve heard it’s Jelani.
"He was my first thought too! And he would be amazing!
I always presumed that if/when this came to the stage the role of Hercules would have to be played by two different actors, with the switch happening during "One Last Hope". We shall see!

Has anyone else done rush? I am hoping to go on Thursday, 11/8 and was thinking of getting there around 9:30am... should I aim for earlier?
I'm on the tail end of Cody Simpson's generation, and I am very curious to see how he will do. I'll be eager to hear reports from those of you who see him in the role!
However, I would buy tickets to return in heartbeat if Kelsey Grammer ever reprises his role as Vlad from the movie, akin to Jonathan Freeman in "Aladdin" and Sasson Gabai in "The Band's Visit" right now. That would be inspired casting. The role onstage is larger
I tried to not go so crazy this year, and it ended up being one of my favorite years. I found and bought:
- A Playbill clock where the numbers are Playbills for shows that have their respective number in the title: $20
-A Matilda pencil case - $1
-2 Finding Neverland pens - $1 each
-Jane Eyre souvenir program in great shape (complete with insert) and it's SIGNED - $5 (my favorite find of the day, and probably in my top three finds EVER - finding a full cast sig

I’ll go ahead and add myself to the list of Disney World cast members. Not Attractions though- Food and Beverage!
Other than that, early 20s. Musical theatre nerd since I was brought to a “Sound of Music” singalong at age 6, but I didn’t see a show on Broadway until I was 12... and it just never stopped.
My friends refer to me as “Walking Broadway Wikipedia” because I can spit out random facts about pretty much every show they can think of. It’s a title I’m pretty proud of.

Are you referring to the junior version of the show? https://www.mtishows.com/into-the-woods-jr Yes, this one is pretty much only Act I, but I think (and someone with more information might be able to correct me, and please do!) but I think the junior versions are only supposed to be done if the en
I loved it! I can't wait to see what else they do with this show.
It was absolutely hilarious to me that the woman who was the Baker's Wife was eight months pregnant while playing a character who's entire arc in the first act is that she...can't get pregnant.
And speaking of the first act, yes, I found that very odd too. I'm not sure what happened there. Maybe they didn't want to spoil the show? Or maybe it had to do with the rights

I absolutely agree! The skeltons do pose a bit of an issue, but there is a "Celebration of Coco" promo show at Disneyland right now, and they have giant puppets that, with some tweaks, could be an option. Here is the link to a video of the Disneyland show:
I had never heard of this play, but then I saw the highlights reel here on BWW on the side panel, the one with the picture of Jackson and Milioti, and I bought a ticket about five minutes later. I'm a huge fan of both of them and the plot intrigued me. So now I'm excited for Sunday!
