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!
I've been going for 7 years now, and I agree that this was the weakest year. And I'm sorry, things are getting out of hand what with lines and such. I did get some good finds, though:
Hello, Dolly! Metal Water Bottle (I LOVE this- I needed a metal one for my new job, and this one is all red and sleek and just says HELLO, DOLLY! Broadway 2017)
Hello, Dolly! Program (they were selling slightly bent ones for $20 rather than $40 in theatre- it's already under some books
Oooo I know this is a long shot since he wants to focus more on other mediums, but I would love to see Leslie Odom Jr. as Papa Ge! Plus, he is a Tony winner... I'm very excited for this!
Whenever I'm bored, I try to list all the theatres too! I usually end up forgetting the nonprofits (sorry, nonprofits). If I am really trying to kill time, I'll try to list all the shows in each theatre as well.
Emma Pfaeffle, who plays Veruca Salt, talked about it once in a video (it may have been a live on, so it doesn't exist anymore, and she said that Borle chose to shave his head to save time. I think they calculated that in a 1-year run, he would have spent something like 9 full days in the hair chair to get his fair in a cap, and then the second cap over it that is mostly bald but with some hair under it (what you see sticking out under the hat). If I could link the video, I would, but I t

Dave, Rachel, and Bradley have all said that they're currently having creative meetings to figure out how they're going to put it on the road, and they all seem pretty certain it's going to happen. I don't know how they're gonna do it, but I bet they can pull it off.
