There’s a clip of the OBC on the Ed Sullivan Show on YouTube. It was the same night the Beatles were on. Davy Jones played the Artful Dodger and decided he wanted to be a rock star that night.

I don’t think Summer will be hurt by TheCher Show. Cher is an institution but I don’t think her catalog comes any where close to Donna’s. Other than ‘Gypsies, Tramps and Thieves” it’s pretty mediocre. I am looking forward to “O, Holy Night” though.
My Fair Lady - Service and Handling Fees May 1

I thought Broadway.com was affiliated with the Broadway League. The fee is actually going to support them. All of the shows allocate a portion of the house to them to sell. They then mark them up. So this can be a way to access hot shows even ones that are sold out. I a bought a ticket to Hamilton through them. It was face value + $100. This was much less than the scalpers were asking. Your money went to a good cause, not some scalper’s bank account.

The critics didn’t go for it, but it’s fared better with the little people.
Show Recs for Broadway fan? Apr 20

Mean Girls is okay. As people have said the score isn’t very memorable. It does have terrific performances from everyone in the cast. The problem I have with it is it’s selling pretty well and tickets are not cheap. I’d try to find a way to see it on the cheap (lottery or rush) otherwise I’d pass.

If you haven’t seen Spongebob, I would definitely have it on my list. Mean Girls would be my choice after that. I didn’t hate Summer, but it definitely is not w must see.

Same Saturday night. You need to be aggressive and get to the front of the barricade. She doesn’t linger. I think her ex showed up at the stage door. They seemed friendly.

Columbus Circle is convenient to Lincoln Center where My Fair Lady is playing.

It’s better to sit in the back half of the theater due to the 2 level set. The cast was excellent although the dad seems to have wandered in from some other show, but you get used to it. The kids basically have to carry the show and they are up to It (Matilda is turning out a whole generation of young performers like Annie did for the last generation). Lydia and Cassie Beck shine in supportive roles. The cello is a nice touch and figures in the plot. It’s a slow build but the ending was pow

It's not like the word "bookend" appeared in the Playbill. Maybe, just maybe the creative team didn't feel the device was needed at the end of the show.So many 'experts' on this board. Thoroughly enjoyed this high energy show."
No.

It’s a really small sample too considering it’s only been in previews for a week. I was at the matinee on Saturday and nobody was drunk.
