I can only think of two shows where I hadn't hear the music beforehand (Hairspray and Legally Blonde). But both were part of group trips, not something I personally chose to see (enjoyed both of them). Maybe if I lived in New York and saw shows more often I'd go in blind?

Oops! For some reason, I thought Denee and Josh Groban were the only new principals. Thanks.
The only Off Broadway tracks I prefer at this point are The Private and Intimate Life of the House, Natasha & Bolkonskys, and Pierre & Andrey. The two former because I like the intensity and I always laugh during the "my poor girl" part (not sure if that's their intention...but I don't care for "says the mean old man!" maybe it will grow on me)
I also just really really love the way Andrey sounds on the original Pierre & Andrey. It almost sounds
I am on the board of a local non-profit Community Theatre. We pay all of our crew and musicians stipends, but there has been discussion lately about if all of these people need to actually be considered "employees". We do three productions a year and it's not always the same people working on the shows. We give 1099s to anyone who makes over $600. How do other small theatre companies handle this?
We also used to have an Executive Director that made less than $800 a month
The Addams Family. Ugh. Great cast and set, terrible script and songs.

I literally kept falling asleep when I saw this because I was so bored. I've never done anything like that in my life.
The sets were great, the cast was talented, but I hated the music and story so much.

I ordered mine the day it came out and never got it, so a couple weeks ago I e-mailed them and they said they would send another one out and I haven't gotten that one either. :/
ETA: Spoke too soon. Just got it today. Yay.

When I saw Spring Awakening in July there was this woman behind me (probably in her 40's at least and who I could tell had seen it at least once before) sobbing from And Then There Were None to the end of the show. It was very distracting and annoying and the man and his son next to her thought she was completely rude.
