Taylor Swift Musical? Nov 26

I would love to see a Taylor Swift musical, but I’d rather see an original one she wrote, in the vein of Waitress. Her songs are so much about reflecting on the past and they’re great and tell wonderful stories, but most of them don’t have the in-the-moment feel that great theatre songs have.

For the record, ALW approached Taylor Swift about writing lyrics for this song. She didn’t presumptuously force herself on it.
I bought a ticket to see The Mad Ones on Sunday because I am a Ben Fankhauser fan, but have learned that he's been replaced and I would rather see something else. My ticket is for the closing performance of the musical. I have a front row seat (Orch A5), which cost me $70. I would be grateful if someone wants to take it off my hands! Price is negotiable. Also, you would have to pick up the ticket at will call, but I spoke to 59E59 and they said they can change the name on the ticket from
I was there this afternoon. My first time seeing the show and I thought it was lovely. And I've seen Andy in a number of shows and this was his most commanding performance yet. Broadway is really losing two gems in Bandstand and GHD today.
A similar thing happened to me! I've been wanting to see this show for months, but I haven't had the time and I just moved to Boston, so I had accepted that given that I need time to adjust to living in a new city, I wouldn't have time to see this show before it closed. I realized yesterday that I have a lot of free time this weekend, enough to see Groundhog Day, and I scoured the internet for tickets, but I couldn't find any, much to my disappointment. I checked again this mo
Has anyone stagedoored? If so, which cast members tend to show? Also, how long have you been waiting for the cast members to come to the stage door after the show ends?
I saw yesterday's matinee and had a grand time. I also saw it in DC and liked it a lot then and thought it was even stronger, tighter and more full of energy yesterday! The audience LOVED it. Instant standing O and they wouldn't sit down for ~5 minutes. I've rarely seen that type of enthusiasm for a show, especially this early in its run. If you can make it to the Schoenfeld, Come From Away is a beautiful piece that's full of heart and worth your time and money.
Great to hear that other people like the concept of a Teddy Roosevelt musical. He's far and beyond my favorite historical figure and I've had the idea in my head for maybe a year that a musical about him could work well.
I think maybe in a while Taylor Swift could create a good musical score. Her songs tend to depict character eviction and tell stories and she's a particularly strong lyricist. She also seems to have a firm grasp on how to write several genres of music.
