QueenTwinnied said: "Interesting to note that Courtney wore the Boleyn costume. It's very possible each alternate is getting a set of costumes for the role they cover."
I thought the same as well when I saw the pictures but a day or two after, the costume designer posted an IG pic with a description as "Alternate fittings" with what looked like a new, orange, alt costume and the Ordway was the tagged location.
Indeed it only goes to ensemble contracted performers so if they are only principle contracts, I am fairly certain that the show does not do the ceremony. I recall this happening at some point in pretty recent memory but for the life of me I can't recall what the show was. Someone please tell me if I am just imagining this was a thing but if I recall one of the cast members posting on social media about everyone being on principle contracts and so the current gypsy robe holder v
Beetlejuice is an unapologetically fun show. It's not there to make you think. It's not there to attempt and elevate the original source material to something higher then it was ever meant to be. It's just there to have a good time at the party. Beetlejuice is like the equivalency of the drunk guy at a kegger that somehow ended up dancing around with a lampshade on his head before the end of the night when none of the lamps in the house even have shades on them.
In the minority but I was not blown away and I most certainly don't think it's better then the original. Good, yeah. But it's a logical MESS of plot holes. Like WAY worse than the first one that leaves more questions of "why?" then answers.
There is a video on YT someone made that points out how ridiculous some of the choices made really were. Look it up it's like "Frozen 2 Pitch Meeting" or something like that. If felt like everything just came
I can't see them changing the costume design but perhaps altering the construction. I also can VERY much see them doing away with the "alternates" costumes on Broadway and everyone getting their own set of costumes for all the roles they cover. As much as I LOVE the concept of each girl getting their own personal look, it does in many ways highlight the fact that "HEY! HEY! THERE IS AN UNDERSTUDY ON! LOOK! LOOK AT THE UNDERSTUDY!" when they are on. I can see them tryin
What other musicals can we right from the POV of inanimate objects that were there? Let's see....
The story of Sia as told from the POV of her black and white wig? The story of Nelly as told from the POV of the band-aid on his face? The story of Steve Jobs as told from the POV of his black turtle neck?
OR we can keep it in the family and have the story of Janet Jackson as told from the POV of the nipple pastie she wore during the super bowl half time show? I s
While it doesn't interest me at ALL, I give pops to Ain't Too Proud for a pretty high energy performance. Same for Tina. Their dancing was great but just not my cup of tea. Hadestown I love love love the show but the more I see them perform on TV, the more I realize you really need to see it IN THEATRE to get the whole experience of it. Fell a little shorter then I hoped but still good.
And then, the KING OF KINGS of live TV performances NAILS is again! I give the Beetlejuice t
LORD! This musical is still a thing?! I remember when this was new news. Wasn't the plot of this something about like... Betty Boop's demensa suffering grandfather being a big plot point?
EDIT: Yeah.... yeah I looked this one up. "Say You Remember It" from a David Foster and Friends 2011 concert. Can we also talk about how this was SO long ago, he introduces Megan Hilty as and "u

I just finished watching the episode and WOW that was just an amazing breakthrough to watch. Susan Egan is a treasure.
What show was the pilot? The only one currently on Disney+ at lauch is Annie but it bills it as episode one. No idea when the rest of the episodes will make their way onto the platform. I assume as it vanishes from Hulu it will appear on Disney+
Pashacar said: "I adore RNJ, but she is giving by far the least essential performance among the leads here. Consider yourself lucky Will Brill, Ali, and Damon were in."
There were moments in RNJ's performance I found her to be totally brilliant. Her face and her reactions during the entire end sequence was captivating. But then other moments, she felt far to cold and distant and it made one wonder why one guy would pine after her let alone two of them that fight
LuPita2 said: "Rebecca Naomi Jones has started shooting a series in Atlanta, and announced a few weeks she would now be in and out of the show until closing. Also, Denver fills in for Damon a couple times a week still."
Yeah I forgot to mention that as well. Denver was on for Damon both shows last Wednesday. He was really great. If I didn't know Damon's work pretty well, I would have said that Denver was the full time actor in the role. Great chemistry with R
Saw the show this past Wednesday. Can confirm that Ado Annie AND Ali Hakem now have Wed. and Sat. matinee alternates. According to the playbill, Sasha Hutchings and Chris Bannow play the pair for matinees.
I won the lottery and took a friend with me. She found out during intermission that she had won the lotto for that evening so she went back again with our friend that had to sit out the matinee. Ali was on for the evening.
Sasha was great vocally

Should be noted, he shared the same message on his Instagram story as well. He is definitely teasing something.
It's a to each their own thing because I had the pretty much opposite reaction/experience as you. The house was packed and everyone around me was just dying with laughter and I was just sitting there the whole show, lightly chuckling from time to time and confused. Why was everyone else laughing to hard? It... it was funny but not THAT funny. It was good but not THAT good. The performances were good but not THAT good. I felt like I was just missing something the whole darn show.
Once upon a time, they had physical tickets sent over or at least ones that were pre-printed for them. I can recall back in the day when you would ask for a show, the worker would go to a like set of slots they use to keep the tickets in on the wall and pull out a little pile for the show you asked of, shuffle through for the best seats or something close to what you asked for and hand you those. That went out though when they moved to the temp location at the Marriott while they remodeled th
I can recall seeing it but I also recall it being mostly bland and forgettable. It was one of those musicals that if not for having a playbill and a ticket in my collection to remind me that I did see it, I would totally forget that I actually saw it. I VAGUELY recall a scene in a dance studio with mirrors and the scene on the bridge but I couldn't tell you anything else about it. So. Forgettable.
Piparoo said:"I had a different experience. Yesterday I bought four front row center mezzanine tickets for a mid April weekend. They were $149 a piece. All things considered, I didn’t mind paying that. I paid more for Moulin Rouge, for worseseats and a dreadful show. I think we’re allin for a real treat with Six!"
That's the same I paid, which is a lot for me cus it was more like 170 after all the damn fees. But I was limited on what dates were availa
Finally found the seats I was looking for. Really wanted front row mezz but every date I looked at was sold out of were dumb American Express preferred BS seats. Finally fond them for a Sunday night that works for me at the end of April. Very excited. I would have liked first row but they just don't seem to be on sale at ALL so either they will be released at a later date at some kind of wild price tag or they are gonna be lotto. Either way, it was to much a risk for me to wait when these
