Too bad Pasek and Paul didn’t join the chorus. Could have clinched their EGOT! In all seriousness though - this seems like a ridiculous category. But I still hope they win. They’re a lovely group and that was a wonderful performance.
Was fortunate to catch the Hamilton performance in Seattle yesterday and my first words are... WOW!! I honestly wasn't expecting this calibre for a tour - which is very smallminded of me I realize. The stage was perfect. The acoustics at The Paramount are excellent. It's a larger theatre so there's always a worry for me how the sound will be. But it was wonderful. I sat further back than I normally would for a performance (Row DD Orch). I really
Oh my heart .... those poor little babies... so sad. Sending light and love to the families - I can't imagine their grief.

I would agree with BC. Alexander Hamilton’s entrance always gives me chills every time I see it.
And the first that came to mind was indeed Hedwig!
I'm sad to hear everyone's bad experiences. I was fully expecting a sh**show, but it was super easy for me. I had the 11am slot so that must have help exponentially. I looked at quite a few dates and released a lot of tickets. Ended up with Sat Oct 13th OrchLF Row G. total for 2 tickets was $800. It will be an event I'm sure!
Good luck to all still trying to get tickets - sending positive vibes out your way!
Final casting announced. I'm going to see it in May with my daughter (Christmas present and Mothers Day tied in one package). I'm intrigued with the premise but a bit nervous after reading some of the reivews. Oh well - always open to new experiences! Is anyone familiar with this cast?
canadian fan said: "I don't even bother with the Broadway across Canada. Even if they do come (and rarely does anything that great come to Vancouver) the venue is terrible. Its not the least bit intimate. I live just outside Vancouver and have seen probably 30-40 shows in Seattle over the years, and literally 1 in Vancouver, and won't attend another Vancouver show. I would rather make the 3 hour drive and spend the weekend in Seattle and see a show in a much better Venue.
BwayinVan said: "With all these shows coming to Seattle I’m holding my breathe that some of them make the three hour drive north to Vancouver. The last few seasons in Vancouver have sucked so here’s hoping for a better season this year"
I totally agree with you. Broadway Across Canada has been very disappointing for years. fingers crossed....
Does this mean that those who successfully got tickets the first round get to sign up again? That hardly seems fair to me. I detest this system. I don’t believe for a minute that this is alleviating 3rd party sellers. I’d rather go the route of what Hamilton is doing in London. You buy the ticket - you show up for the event. It would suck for those wanting to gift tickets but I think it’s better than this Verified Fan BS. I guess I’m jaded as I’ve yet to be successful in get
I love this excerpt from the review - so true!! The set is pure magic!
"But what send the show soaring are David Zinn’s sensational costumes and set, which includes Rube Goldberg–esque contraptions on each side of the stage. (It's like what everyone wanted but didn't get

I agree! I'm waiting anxiously for "Call Me By Your Name" to come out in wide release. I think it's going to be a good year for him. I'm going to have to delay my Spring visit for 2018. There's a couple of productions coming out in the summer now that I'm interested in. This is definitely one!

What is the better alternative to apologizing?"
Admittance of guilt -- instead of oops....did that bother you? Restitution? Castration?
I think the point is: it is hollow. How can you be "sorry" whe
i was wondering yesterday, after reading about Matt Lauer, who the first non-actor theatre person would be.... didn't have to wait too long. This is really vile... and I'm just getting really sick of these men "apologizing" once they've been outed. Who's next?? When Ridley Scott spoke out on Spacey and Weinstein, he alluded that he knew of others - that they must be gritting their teeth waiting.... just a matter of time I guess....
I saw it last week and really enjoyed myself. The audience was fully into it and the 30 something year old sitting beside me was singing along to the theme song. It was a lot of fun! Is it a broadway masterpiece - definitely not. But everyone has their own likes and dislikes. I left feeling happy. I overheard a teenaged girl behind me say "this is going to be the next Hamilton!". And while I sincerely disagree with her, it is an e
I'm listening to SITPWG as I read and write this! I'm obsessed with it and would love to see this win the Grammy. As much as I am gunning for Pasek & Paul to get their EGOT, the recording of DEH doesn't compare to Sunday. That being said I'd be happy for them to win this as well.
Myglass989 said: I saw this on Saturday night 11/18,and there was not a chorus of children at the end. I did see a sign about Rosie's kids in the lobby afterward, and was confused. How did they use the children? For anyone who has been to a performance since Saturday, were the children in it, or have they done away with that permanently?
And for the record, there was rain and no wind at that performance."
I saw the show tonight and thought it was a ton of fun. In fact I haven't seen a broadway audience have that much fun ever - the energy was amazing. And it wasn't just the kids. The ones that are getting the biggest thrills are the millenials who, I assume, grew up watching the tv show. The set is FANTASTIC. The songs are catchy and the cast is great; Ethan Slater is outstanding. I really hope this catches on and stays for a while.&n
