Weird, I went to the box office around 3:30 and was told they didn’t have any rush tickets available for that night. I wonder if they open up more closer to the show (if so it sounds like these seats are a much better

Practical light elements are considered for both categories, as they are a collaboration between the set and lighting designers. If. You wanna get really technical, the actual light element itself is set design while the light it produces is lighting design.

The song will be sung by Victoria (Francesca Hayward) in the film and it’s really just about her longing for a sense of belonging and wondering if she will ever live out her glory days.

Good point! I hadn’t considered since the songs were from the movie it wouldn’t be eligible. Who is even eligible then? Is it just Mrs Doutfire and Six? Could we potentia

I know the part Dave Malloy was supposed to play was relaxed by a stationary white bust. Can anyone speak to how this worked?

Rush update: They are selling boxes for rush. 2 people in line at 9am, 4 people in line at 10am when box office opened. All of us got the boxes, partial view. Not sure if/what rush seats are once they run out of box seats.
Very excited for first preview!"
How much were the rush tickets? Also, did anyone else try rush and get anything other than box seats
ModernMillie3 said: "A lot of Broadway actors are upset about it, as they should be.
They could have just put The Music Man in another house. No one cares if they bought tickets beforehand what theater it was going to be in. This will be huge and make tons of money, but at the expense of another. What a shame."
Also not unprecedented, remember when DEH was going to open at the Belasco?

PSA: The version being re-aired has been cut down even more, most noticeably a bunch of songs: “No Control,” “Daddy Knows Best.” “Poor Pirates,” “Bikini Bottom Boogie,” and “I Guess I Miss You.” Seems to be about another 30 minutes cut as this one ran a little under 1:30 plus commercials. So those who missed out the first time, you may want to just watch it on Amazon or iTunes if you wanna see the “full” show.

Heard from a very reliable source this is transferring in the Spring and will meet the cut off to compete in this year’s Tonys. They have already signed their contract with the theater and everything.

I have never found any of David Korins set designs to be "phoned-in"... David Rockwell, on the other hand, is hit or miss, but his design for Pretty Woman and Tootsie last season were pretty darn bad. Hard to believe that he's the same designer behind the GORGEOUS set for the She Loves Me revival..."
Jordan Fisher—DEH Dec 3
2019, 11:50:38 AM
I would say Jordan Fisher is just as big a “name” as Taylor Trench or Noah Galvin. I’d hardly call it stunt casting, although he will definitely bring in some new fans to the show. In my opinion stunt casting is bringing someone in with no stage credits just for their name. After all “stunt” implies some level or danger or risk, casting a trained theater performer with Broadway credits is hardly a risk. Even Bette Middler wasn’t stunt casting, we all knew she would be wonderful. I would con
Anyone else notice this is now the 3rd time Beth has played a role on stage that Meryl has played (or will play in the case of The Prom) on film. They both played Donna in Momma Mia as well.
Edit: lol plannietink looks like we had the same thought!

It’s okay, very forgettable. But for TDF prices I do think it’s worth seeing. Just adjust your expectations accordingly.
Flying Over Sunset vs Girl From the North Country vs Tina Nov 25
2019, 08:44:29 AM
I have not seen Flying Over Sunset, but I was not a big fan of Girl From the North Country or Tina. GFTNC has gorgeous arrangements of Bob Dylan songs sung by an incredible cast, but suffered from, in my opinion, a terrible book that was bleak, bland and just not interesting. Tina was fun, but it is a by the numbers jukebox musical. Adrienne Warren is giving a sensational performance as Tina, but as someone who is not a huge fan of jukebox musicals or Tina’s music I was (perhaps unsurprisingl

She is a treasure!"
What was the stage door like? Was it super crowded? How many Playbills did she sign? Did she take selfies? Also, did she sign non-show stuff like Wicked items?
