Love the cast tbh, although very dispapointed it’s not Bonnie as Rose. Michaela is a bit of a strange choice but I do think she is talented so we’ll see. Surprised they made an exception to their “we’re not going to cast any of the original cast members” for Derek. I wonder if they couldn’t find anyone else who was decently known. Natalie Walker is an inspired choice for Marcy. Very excited for Antonio Cirpiano as well. Just praying they do the whole show and don’t try to cut it down like

Jeremy Jordan teased a return to Broadway in a musical and he said it would be “very soon” so I wonder if he’ll be the next Dr P. Plus this may be a stretch but one of Shoshana’s intagram clues feels like a reference to the Last Five Years movie (the hand holding pic is a shot from Next Ten Minutes).

They just announced a Music Man revival with Hugh Jackman. Could Jeremy be attached to play Marcellus? Laura is rumored to be Marian and it would be awesome to see them back together again!
the.hard.part said: "Someone who is there just said that Jeremy announced he will be back on Broadway in a musical very soon and there should be an announcement anytime."
How intriguing! Do we think it’s Waitress? I doubt it’s a new musical given how late in the season it is, so that’s really the only thing I could think of that makes sense and they do need a new Dr P soon!

Was there tonight. As was Stephen Sondheim himself. For some unknown reason the show was cut down to 80 minutes no intermission (which I’m assuming will be the case for Dogfight and Next to Normal as well). For this show though it is probably for the best, given that the music is the better part of this show. The book and the plot are pretty all over the place, though there were some genuine moments of comedy. And as a Sondheim fan it really was a treat to get to hear this rarely performed
I've gotten $99 per part and one week I got $120 per part. Didn't accept either of them so i can't speak of seat location and not quite sure why they were different prices.
SomethingPeculiar said: "LuPita2 said: "Well, big fans of Mean Girls will be excited."
Is there crossover between MG fans and early Sondheim fans?."
Probably not much overlap, but that's probably the point. Sondheim will bring in the older generation and Mean Girls will bring in the younger generation. Saturday Night is easily their toughest sell of the bunch (as evidence by the countless unsold tickets as oppose
Tootsie hands down, while I haven't seen any of them i have heard nothing but bad things about Beetlejuice and Aint Too Proud. They were both panned by critics and audiences alike. Tootsie has pretty positive word of mouth and will likely be real competitor for the Best Musical Tony and Santino will likely take home Best Actor in a musical. See Tootsie, its not even a question in my mind!
LuPita2 said: "Huge bummer, I don't really think this was planned out very well."
I honestly don’t think so either. Based on what JRB said tonight it kind of sounded like this whole event series was just kind of thrown together. I have tickets for Saturday Night and Dogfight already so a I am hoping for the best, but my expectations are low.
Just got a promo email from Alice by Heart using this pull quote:
“A FANTASTICAL, MAGICAL MYSTERY TOUR with INGENIOUS costumes, NOEL COWARD-ISH WIT, and DREAMY SONGS which suggest the BEATLES’ hallucinogenic period with echoes of music from SPRING AWAKENING.” -The New York Times
I'm not sure whether to be annoyed or impressed with this show's marketing team. Possibly a little of both. The fact that they were able to wea
This is a weird question, but if there is an understudy in Part 1 will the same understudy go on in Part 2 for consistency? Or if the original actor is better will they just go back on for Part 2? I feel like it would be weird to see one character suddenly looking and sounding completely different in the next part, but I have to imagine it does happen.
Personally I don't think that this is a great first introduction to Merrily. My advice would be the watch the Sonia Friedman version, which was recorded professionally in London. That is pretty much acknowledged as the best version of the show to date. If you like that, then I would say that you should see the Roundabout production for a completely different take. And if you don't like that one then you definitely won't like the Roundabout production.&
