I would honestly just mention it in passing. Don’t make it a big thing, and definitely don’t offer the donation (not that charity isn’t great, but that very clearly draws a line in the sand about whether you’re an acquaintance or just a fan). Just be sure to come off as casual and low pressure, and if she says she would rather not, then be cool with that.
Audience interaction changes for The Play That Goes Wrong Aug 19

The first time I saw the show on tour, they definitely did the dog bit beforehand. Then at intermission Chris and other actors stormed out and invaded the theater and lobby continuing to look for the dog, one of them went as far as to walk around with a squeaky toy.
As for the ledger joke, it is a plant. Both times I saw it he kept going until someone said “it’s underneath”, then he would go into his TV rant.

I believe for every city performers get the choice between an arranged hotel or a Per diem to use on finding their own housing. Sometimes many cast members will chip in their per diem to share a nice AirBnB or just stay in the hotel. It usually differs for every performer and city.

I think it sold really well and extended at least once.
- First Wives Club (Chicago) - Spongebob - War Paint - Pretty Woman - The Cher Show - Tootsie - Six
I’d say out of these Spongebob, War Paint, and Six were the most exciting. First Wives was cool just because of how infamous the show is, and the fact after a second failure it will never see the light of day again.
SouthernCakes said: "Wonder why they are scared to bring it to NYC. They aren’t tinkering with the show, correct? So why not just bring it in. This is a great season for a new musical. "
Come From Away has tryouts in La Jolla, Seattle, DC, and Toronto. How is Six any different? They’re not scared, they’re being creative and building the brand and word of mouth, and seeing as the Chicago production played full houses 95% of the time, I’d say it

Mallory Maedke is making her debut tonight in Chicago as Boleyn! Bummed I’ll miss her by a day if she doesn’t go on again tomorrow.

I’ve seen her in concert four times and I honestly think she has one of the most unique and beautiful voices in musical theater. The fact that is so untraditional is what I love about it so much. She’s so cathartic and exhibits so much pathos in everything she does I can’t help but be hypnotized by her. I’ve also had the pleasure of meeting her 3 times (once very extensively), and she’s just all around a wonderful human. I really wish she worked more steadily on the broadway stage (her off-Broad
Hot Pants said: "I recall Timothy Hughes saying that he sings Hades up an octave. Or at least the lowest notes are up an octave, I’m not quite sure, but I know it’s one or the other. The fact that Page’s understudies can’t perform Hades’ music as written (which is absolutely no knock against them, as Hades is not written in a key that seems humanly possible) leads me to believe that it’s gonna be very difficult to recast the role. My guess is whoev

Looking at potentially seeing this on my next trip, for those who may have seen both, or can give opinions, who is “better” in the role? They way it lines up I could either see Annie or Anne, depending on what slot I use for this show.

I saw Lulu go on twice and she’s flawless.
Waitress tour - Desi or Christine? Jul 18

I saw Desi 5 times and Christine twice. I love Christine, but Desi is better.
Tommy Bracco on Big Brother Jul 17

I feel like Tommy is starting to show a little bit more compassion and good will, especially towards Nicole who is obviously telling the truth as we, the viewers know. I think deep down Tommy knows that Grat8ful is corrupt and he knows the truth about Nick and Bella. It’s all just a giant clusterfork, and Nicole will go down for exhibiting kindness and trust.
Also I detest reality television aside from cooking shows, but something about the sheer wtf-ness of Big Brother has always caugh
novel idea said: "Stephanie J Block received an offer early July for Bobbie. Don't know the status now. Avail/interest has been checked for a select group of Broadway leading ladies as well, including Kate Baldwin.
Patti Lupone is confirmed. Rehearsals will begin January. "
I would be THRILLED with Stephanie or Kate!
DEH NATIONAL TOUR - Performance Schedule Jul 9

The only role with an alternate is Evan. Jessica should be there. I saw the show 4 times and she was present at everyone, and just wonderful in the role. As far as I know she’s only missed a handful of performances since the tour started in October.
VintageSnarker said: "With Shoshana now leaving on July 21st, that's about a month before the stunt casting of Dawn and Ogie in August should hopefully get them through September. I'm still hoping for a country star as Jenna somewhere down the line."
I’ve been wanting Jennifer Nettles to play Jenna ever since I saw her in concert a couple years ago!
Hairspray0901 said: "I’d really love if they use Caitlin and Izzy for Emma and Alyssa. They already have a star studded cast, give those roles to the originals from Broadway. "
I don’t know if she can still play a high schooler, but a few years ago Keke Palmer would’ve been a great choice. She does have past work experience with Murphy...
