If you see a discount now, grab it. I doubt there will be discounts once it opens. A few of the songs could be better, but the ones that work REALLY work!"
THANK YOU. I was one of the few people that saw it in Chicago that said it was amazing, I am glad to hear that Andy is doing good work as
I saw this on Friday (June 29th) and I thought it was a hot mess. I had such high hopes for this show, and I can't say I was disappointed, I just expected more. Stephanie J Block was sensational, as expected, and the sweetest person I have ever met at the stage door besides Jackie Burns. Her "Believe" had me "Breaking Down" and sobbing in the audience. Micaela was good, and despite the negativity on this board, I thought that Teal Wicks was good also.
I would say My Fair lady and Pretty Woman. Pretty Woman was amazing in Chicago despite what the critics thought with some incredible performances from most of the cast (Aside from Kazee, but not that it's Karl, I suspect it will be better). I know that Pretty Woman has made some changes, and probably will continue to, but it is a must see.
The only way I will see this is if Anne Hathaway or Nicole Scherzinger (or Meryl) are Grizabella. I can't stand the show but if they get a power house Grizabella, I might see this.
And acting entitledonly helps millennial stereotypes.
So, I guess it's a draw..."
GET HER JADE.

Even though she likes doing original works, I think that Idina Menzel would be an inspired choice. Or Megan Hilty in 15 years.

I agree. I think Orfeh could possibly score a nomination too.
I don't see this show until the 29th, but I am SO excited for this. I think they are really putting the care into this that Summer, and On Your Feet! did not, to make a truly great musical.
This is my personal opinion, I saw Bette in Hello, Dolly! and hated it, I saw it with Bernadette and loved it.
1. The Color Purple 2. Once on This Island 3. Hello, Dolly! (With Bernadette) 4. Hedwig and the Angry Inch 5. Anything Goes 6. Porgy and Bess 7. Pippin 8. La Cage 9. The King and I 10. Hello, Dolly (with Bette)
As you said, you want to look at more adult roles and you performed on TV for the first time on “Fallon.” Would you want to do something outside of theater like film, TV, or maybe even a movie mus
Have you tried calling Ticketmaster and trying to change the date and get an exchange? That's what I did when I had to change my trip dates for this show

Auli'i Cravalho YES she would be a wonderful choice!
Broadway Forever2 said: "I like the castings of Rita Morena as Abuelo Claudia and Anthony Ramos as Usnavi but I feel like they need stars. I don’t think Lin is opposed to casting non Latino actors in roles (Corbin Bleu replaces him as Usnavi for example) but I’m sure he’ll try his best to get Hispanic actors for most of the major roles like he did for the OBC. If JLO was a better singer I would suggest her for Daniela lol. Regardless I’m sure they will conside
Thinking about this at first I thought "Why on Earth would they do this?" Thinking about it now.. I am incredibly excited, and I think that Demi, with Dove Cameron as Glinda, Colbert or Corden as the Wizard, Streep as Morrible.. That would be fantastic.
