Last night, there was a technical issue with the LED walls during the curtain call. They didn't move in and effectively blocked the principal actors from entering to take their bows (at least, that's what I think happened). After the ensemble bowed, there was a good 30-40 seconds of an empty stage, lights flashing, orchestra playing - the Chers then came on to sing the "Believe" finale and Stephanie starts the song with "what am I supposed to do - LITERALLY!"
Beyonce on Broadway? Jun 30

Beyoncé can act the hell out of a song when she performs. With proper training, if she could tap into that raw energy, I think she could be an actress.
Dreamgirls was released 11 years ago and since then, Beyoncé has released her most personal, artistically-driven works. She keeps elevating herself as an artist and to think she’s incapable of doing that in all capacities is silly. Beyoncé loves to prove people wrong.
There wasn't really a cancellation line for the Wednesday matinee this week (no SRO either). They said someone normally works it, but he wasn't there. I was the only one who waited around and was told to keep going back to the box office and see if anything became available. Eventually left to snag a ticket for something else.
Fingers crossed that I luck out with the lottery on Sunday and can see it before I head out of town. FOMO.

The seating suggestions seem legit, but..."Presently the theatre is home to the groundbreaking musical, Meteor Shower." lol
Why no CAROUSEL video clips? Apr 28

There were a few clips in the CBS Sunday Morning feature on Justin Peck, but certainly nothing extensive.

I'm going to be doing the in-person lottery for the Wednesday matinee on May 9th. I'm going for a single ticket. If any solo theatregoers would be into linking up and shooting for a pair to double our chances, let me know!

I will NEVER understand when people have an aversion to inclusion, sensitivity, or change. Move along or go extinct already. Talk about snowflakes, my god.
Has anyone been seated in the partial view seats in the front row? I don't understand how the highlighted seat in the front row is considered partial, but the available seats all the way to the left in row b are not.
My middle finger is sticking straight up and is directed at “fan of bway” for ruining the ending without a spoiler alert.

Things that have been said about lack of chemistry are so disappointing to hear. I don’t have a particular fondness for the show and have never seen it live, but was drawn to seeing Jessie and Joshua. Do you think my neutral attitude about the show would perhaps lend to a better viewing experience? I have been deciding between this and Mean Girls for the final slot during my upcoming trip and am feeling pretty meh about both at this point.

Lol. How dare those actors have motivation! I much prefer actors who just sing pretty and give us a base understanding of their characters.
The video made me so unbelievably happy that I splurged on a ticket,
