Goodness, Gideon Glick is perfect casting for Seymour. The casting is an embarrassment of riches. I hope the show extends with a nice run starring Glick, so I don't have to stress about dropping another $100+ so soon already on a show I haven't see yet.
Wow guys! I'm so jealous of anyone who was there to experience that on Tuesday! I've been listening to the OLCR on a loop since seeing the show last week and absolutely love it. Andrew Polec's voice doesn't make any sense to me!

LOL! Yes it is! (Also the choreography is possibly the worst I've ever seen, it's laughably bad.)
I really enjoyed it. I'm perplexed and amused but most importantly, my face was thoroughly melted by the sheer awesomeness of the cast's vocal prowess. It's incredible and worth it just to experience their singing. And of course Steinman is epic and this is a great way to experie
GG_Appropriate said: "I am curious what others who have won the Friday Forty think of the seat location. I was fortunate to win and certainly am not one to complain about lottery/discounted tickets. That said, they advertise the Friday Forty as "best seats in the theatre" and it didn't seem to be the case. We were in the dress circle, Row A but all the way in the corner which led to a limited view of the right side of the stage and a railing in our way.
I was lucky enough to see this twice. Once in 2016 when it was Public Works and this year's version. Very interesting staging differences. I thought the Public Works version was more visually stunning, but I still loved it both times and can't complain that my seat was better this year, too. It's silly, funny, entertaining, and full of heart.
I couldn't tell if the ASL incorporation was expanded this year as it seemed very present throughout the show, as I was much too
I'm a fan of both Katrina Lenk and Tony Shaloub but this show is more of a sleeper than a sleeper hit, but I still liked it more than Hamilton. Everything that people have said they liked about the show left me lukewarm at best.
Ari'el Statchel was so unimpressive, maybe not cuz of him but of his character, so I was shocked when he won. However, Ari'el's acceptance speech made me cry, his win was almost worth it for just that. I mean TBV winners all gave really good

Does anyone else find Phantom of the Opera hilarious? Don't get me wrong, I find the show highly enjoyable. It's one of those things I have to fight to not laugh AND not sing along! I lost my cool sometime during the second act, it takes itself so seriously but it's sooo ridiculous. It was too funny to me, but I definitely tried to be low-key about it.

I was curious since the show usually does something nice for new/departing cast members."
I didn't know that it was Brady's last show (hence why I realized my luck for winning the lottery for his last show -- I only found out at stage door when fans and actors were mentioning it -- but he
MegBroadway said: "They let you pick your seats, but my mom won it twice and both times the only available options were in the boxes. When she brought me, she picked one right behind the other closest to the stage and the sight line was amazing."
I did this exact same thing to pick seats for my friend and me when I won it for yesterday. Right side boxes, 2nd and 3rd row, closest to the stage, one behind the other. I concur, we bought thought the v
I read Pygmalion and My Fair Lady in middle school and watched the movie in class about 2 decades ago. I didn't *think* it made any impression on me but apparently I could remember names of main characters and quotes after all this time. Where does my brain store this stuff? Fascinating!
Months ago when I bought the ticket, I "remembered" the two main characters had a "love story" that was felt creepy to me even as a kid, recalling she was about 20 and he i
Oh wow! I hope it doesn't suck! I loved this movie as a kid and I just absolutely loved the soundtrack. I'll have to go listen to it again. Just watched the trailer linked in the article... the memories. Oh when there were CD stores...

Got to the check in location at 1 pm. There still weren't many people there at that time. Was one of the first people directed to get in line for General upstairs. Actually ended up next to dirily (hello!).
An epic production. I didn't know the show and wouldn't be considered anyone's fan in the cast, other than Norm Lewis. Just loved loved loved John Legend's performance. And Brandon Victor Dixon blowing the roof off as Judas. It was an exhausting experience but it ended up being worth

The Booth Theatre is not named after John Wilkes Booth, whokilleda Lincoln. It is named afterEdwinBooth, whosaveda Lincoln. (Namely, the president's son.)"
From Wikipedia: "Booth did not know the identity of the man whose life he had saved until some months later".
There was a stack of ~50 of them at the Tribeca one tonight (almost all were still shrink wrapped). Wonder what happens to all the unsold ones?
Anyway, huge thanks for the heads up, as well as all the updates and tips and tricks! I thought I missed my chance when I didn't stop by on Sunday. This wasn't even on my radar but it's a cool little souvenir to remember the show by and at such a bargain price!
