Every Element of Great Comet's, from the staging to how the music shifted for each character's bow to the quick moment of dueling accordians. Loved it.
All they need to do is put in a scene at the end, like in the original book, where the kids are shown to be fine. Altered, but alive. Or even just have Wonka say outright that there's a way to restore them, the way he does in the movie. The fact that the musical just kind of outright kills the kids, as opposed to punishing them and their parents but leaving them alive, is the worst thing about it.
You know, it is just baffling to me this production doesn't have female understudies for Papa Ge. At least it didn't when It opened and that seems to still be the case. I can understand maybe not having a spare male actor on hand who can nail "Mamma will Provide", but Papa Ge has no such vocal challanges and if Dandridge goes out, the dynamic of those scenes shift in a big way with a male actor. Any thoughts on this?
Mine is the great Sid Ceaser, one of my comedic idols, as Val du Val in the original production of LITTLE ME.
(My user name, by the way, was supposed to be a twist on Man in Chair from Drowsy Chaperone, but of course I threw in a typo and couldn't fix it and thus it has stayed).
I really regret not picking up a T-Shirt from Great Comet while it was playing. I live in San Francisco so I'm looking to buy online and since the show is of course no longer running I can't exactly buy from the website and a google search lead me mostly to fan-made shirts on etsy and redbubble. Am I out of luck?

I haven't been able to find this information either.Francesca Faridany andLisa Ramirez are both listed in the program. I don't remember even getting a slip of paper in the program. After Part 1 I noticed a sign at the box office stating thatFrancesca Faridany w

If all the principals are on, it will be the currently listed cast on the website - no one seems to be leaving a principal role before then.
I also did a late show and had no issues getting home (not being local I had no idea the L shuts down early, which was a fun surprise). Took a lyft back to Manhattan; the street it is on was very quiet and I had no issue waiting outside.
The show itself is incredible and I cannot recommend it enough.
I'd argue the best example of this was in years with shows like FOSSE or AIN'T MISBEHAVIN', where no one was playing named characters, but people still ended up with Tony Noms.
The experience of Candide literally depends on what version of the show they're doing and which book they're using. There's at least six separate librettos for that show, though at the moment I think only two or three are licensable. All of them suffer from problematic storytelling and bloating, but man oh man is that score fantastic. If it's at an opera house or concert hall, absolutely go...the chance to hear that score with a full orchestra should never ever ever
He's not performing the 15th-17th. They didn't post it on the website, but if you look REAL close it is notated on certain performances on the vendini website.
Hey everyone; I've wound up with three tickets to the Shakespeare Center of LA production of Henry IV that I can’t use. These went on PreSale today and somehow I've already managed to goof it up and get them for a day where my date can't go. I purchased tickets for another day and am now trying to sell these for face value or best offer to alleviate my losses. Row K seats 401 - 403; Seats On the Center Aisle.
