I saw the show yesterday and had a feeling given the comments in this thread that Anthony would be out (which he was) but Alex was a fantastic Scorpius and the role is in his very capable hands.
I got to see the full original cast back in May so I was lucky enough to see Anthony but if you are seeing the show this weekend and you get to see Alex you’re in for a wonderful treat.

I was literally just telling friends of mine how I always wanted it to be a Lucky centric plot, but this plot does sound fun. I would have loved a show about Britney and her rise to fame and then the journey along the way but I absolutely give them kudos for taki
A friend of mine got the standby email on Wednesday for the matinee and ended up winning from the standby list. Our seats were K10 and 12 in the orchestra which were great seats.
I saw the show on Wednesday afternoon and I really enjoyed it.
I wasn’t familiar with the material beforehand and didn’t realize how many of the songs I knew from Cole’s canon of music.
I am one who finds Kelli O’Hara to be vocally wonderful, but I feel like she plays the same role over and over again. I felt she did a major step out of her comfort level in this and was wonderful.
Ashley when she announced she was leaving on Instagram noted she would be out Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday this past week because she would be visiting family in Texas.
Kate injured her foot awhile back and missed several performances due to that and she also just recently went on vacation as well.
Most of the cast is pretty good at making it fairly clear on social media when they'll be out on vacation or a personal day.
I got tickets for the New York date because I will be working the day he's performing in Philly. I truly had forgotten how much I hate Ticketmaster until going through this to get tickets today. I'm really excited to see Ben and hear his new music which I've really liked what I've heard so far.
$400 is actually a fairly mid-range option for meet and greets - some can be as expensive as $600 or more while some can be as low as $100 or less it just depends
Yet another thank you for the heads up that the offer was available online, I snagged a ticket for April 3rd online and even though it was a little more with fees it's such a great deal and couldn't pass it up.
Excited to see what changes they've made since DC and see such a wonderfully talented and funny company again.
A friend of mine who lives in LA went to see the show and went backstage to visit a friend in the cast and she noted the "new" Glinda will be Erin Mackey with Mariand Torres as the "new" Elphaba.
^I actually asked Diana in a Live she did on Instagram about the idea of her as Jenna or Dawn in Waitress and she made a comment that made it sound like she'd auditioned but just hadn't booked it. Her comment was something like "It's not for lack of trying" which to me makes it sound like she's gone in, but not gotten it.
I would love to see Diana as either Dawn or Jenna, but I feel like she'd be better overall as Dawn.
I went to the box office on Wednesday around noon and got standing room for the evening performance as the matinee was sold out. A friend of mine went to check around 4:30 and they had sold out of standing room for the evening.
I have been a fan of Brittney since I saw her as Eponine in Les Mis awhile back and I had always said she should play a princess specifically Tiana in a Princess and the Frog musical. Last night, I got to watch her be a princess and while it was yet another big moment in Wicked and Broadway history, it was a fantastic night for a truly fantastic actress.
Everything Brittney did as Glinda was wonderful - she wonderfully brought Galinda to Glinda in a fantastic arc. She never ov
I also saw the show in DC (their second to last show) and I really enjoyed myself, but the show definitely could use some major trimming/cutting (Act Two especially) and a little bit of refocusing in places.
