I was at the same performance and I’ve been holding onto the warmth and heart from Mrs Doubtfire since then. The show has such a big heart and while it could use some work (they were in previews, so I’m sure changes were on com

Annaleigh sang So Much Better at some workshop that you can watch here: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=HiL-Srpq4Js
Also, Leslie didn’t go on as Paulette in San Francisco, it was Broadway.

ACL2006 said: "I was very happy to see Broadway perform during the parade. didn't tune into CBS, but was the Come From Away number also the one that was filmed a few years ago or was it the new cast?"
It was the performance from a few years ago. Both the Come from Away and Dear Evan Hansen performances were from years past.
My main issue with the Jagged Little Pill performance was I felt they tried to go way too deep into the plot

Takarazuka ANASTASIA with new Dmitry song 'She Walks In' Oct 20
2020, 10:24:58 PM
She Walks In was a song that was written for the show and then cut and replaced with Everything to Win.
Derek Klena has talked about it in a few interviews here and there about how he loved the song and then it got cut very early on in the process.

Netflix’s THE PROM movie musical to be released Dec. 11 Sep 14
2020, 11:33:17 AM
Watching the teaser with the poster reveal and the new orchestration of the overture made me teary.
I am so excited for this as someone who loved the show so much (as you can tell from my avatar) and I can't wait for more people to experience the show from the movie.

^ The Hairspray OBC doing Telephone Hour in general brought the biggest smile to my face that I've had in months.

The Ingrid Michaelson and Lauren Ridloff's duet of You Will Be Found was gorgeous and left me in tears.
Josh Henry can truly do no wrong and his Tomorrow was stunning and really lifted my heart.
Rob McClure was hilarious and truly is just an absolute joy to watch.
After seeing Adrienne sing Before The Parade Passes By, I want a revival with Audra as Dolly, Brian Stokes Mitchell as Horace, Adrienne as Irene, Samantha Williams as Minnie, Ch

Thoughts on Theater 5 months into The Shutdown Sep 4
2020, 10:55:04 AM
A few years ago, I got promoted at my job and my schedule shifted to Wednesdays and Thursdays being my days off. Since then, I'd make almost weekly trips from South Jersey to New York on Wednesdays and catch a two show day, grab lunch or dinner with friends in between, and head home on the 11pm Greyhound bus. My last Wednesday in the city before the shutdown was March 11th the day before and I saw the matinee of Aladdin and the final [for now] preview of Mrs. Doubtfire.

BCEFA Flea Market Sep 2
2020, 03:18:55 PM
I’m not sure how much this means but Broadway Cares has been selling various items (signed posters, playbills, opening night gifts, etc) via EBay.
I’m not sure how that would work in regards to the Flea Market, but they’ve been selling and shipping items already (a smaller amount certainly) so it is definitely possible.

Which songs did LMM write in Bring it On? Aug 18

Lin posted a video awhile back of himself working on One Perfect Moment https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=28&v=lED0-8Fk9dw&feature=emb_title
As a fan of the original Bring It On and a few of the sequels, I was totally the right audience for the show and I loved it. I saw the show several times during the limited engagement and the cast album is one I revisit very frequ

TDF membership fees Jun 14
2020, 09:35:54 PM
My membership was up in March and I renewed it simply because I knew they could use the revenue coming to them. I’m sure they will find some way of making it worthwhile when they are back up and running.
TDF has been a really great option for me in the past to get tickets to things and I wanted to give back to them during this difficult time.

Touring houses near NYC? Jun 9
2020, 10:26:09 AM
Edit: Fellow South Jersey resident Matt beat me to the punch on Philly! 
DC is a great place to visit with tons to do (most museums are free, the monuments, etc) that isn't seeing a show and the Kennedy Center itself is just a gorgeous building. I love going up to the roof top area and just looking out over the Potomac as it is just a gorgeous view (especially at sunset).

What’s the last show you saw on Broadway before its closing? Mar 17
2020, 06:38:50 PM
I went in on Wednesday (March 11th) and did a two show Wednesday - Matinee of Aladdin and the evening of Mrs. Doubtfire.
I hadn't been to Aladdin in awhile and the show is still in wonderful shape and the cast is magical and I'm glad I got to see Rodney Ingram and Arielle Jacobs before their runs ended.
Mrs. Doubtfire was such a joy and had so much heart and I can't wait to go back to it once things get back up and running. Rob McClure is truly fantastic and br
