Scene changes that took my breath away:
Les Miz: the forming of the barricade
La Boheme (Franco Zeffirelli production): that scene before Musetta’s Waltz where a Parisian cafe rises from the beneath the stage
She Loves Me: when the shop twirls around
My Fair Lady: the introduction of Henry Higgins’ house
Three Tall Women: the transition between Act I and Act II
Hadestown: Wait for Me

Would have loved to have seen Mandy Patinkin as Pierre in the Great Comet!
Has anyone recognized actors anywhere but a show? Jul 27

Too many celebrity sightings to list. Most recently: Jonathan Groff, wearing a baseball cap and sitting outside in a restaurant in Chelsea (my Glee- and Hamilton-loving daughter was the one who noticed him). Very low key and adorable! We did not approach him or try to sneak a picture, but we did turn around and walk by the restaurant again to make sure it was him!

I actually took my two daughters when they were 13 and 10. I didn’t know that much about DEH going in: I only knew it was about high schoolers and social media and that some guy who apparently had been in Pitch Perfect was in it.
My 13 yo was the perfect age for the show (she had memorized all of the words to WTAW within an hour of getting home afterwards). I do remember sitting in the show thinking, “whoa, this is kinda heavy” for the 10 yo. Everything turned out ok because most of th

There is no general on sale. Verified codes are the only way to purchase tickets from Ticketmaster."
My sister was on standby and got a code about an hour ago. She was able to buy tix (pricey ones, but not as pricey as those purportedly on StubHub now).
I think it's going to be a snippet of "Anybody Have A Map?" into Waving....
While they performed YWBF on the Today Show, the song loses some of its impact if you leave out the accompanying context. I guess you could incorporate some of that into the Tony performance without really spoiling anything. Though for me, the real impact of YWBF (and DEH in general) was the fact that I went in completely unspoiled, and was completely surprised (and overwhelm
I've seen the show from row T and row U, both times off to audience right. I think the row T seats were billed as "partial view." I felt that I could see the show perfectly fine, though admittedly I'm not particularly picky when it comes to seats. I may not have seen everything that happens on that second level, but I don't think much happens up there, I was able to see enough of it. And the time I saw it from row T, it was the second day of
I hate vague posting. If you have information you are willing to share, just spill it. Or keep it to yourself.
That said, I am going to guess that someone who has departed the production will be back at the RRT on Wednesday. And my guess is that maybe they needed some additional close ups of that person for the filmed footage. Or maybe they are filling in for someone who for whatever reason can't perform that day.
Bumping this post to say I went to She Loves Me last night and it was unbelievably charming. They filmed the performance, possibly as practice for live streaming it on Thursday. If you have not seen the show yet, do not miss the live stream.
Sorry you didn't get tix, and that the RRT changed the rules of engagement. Certainly, it is your prerogative to spend your free time camping out for 4 days in the hopes of getting tix to the show you want, with the cast you want. But you had to have known that the whole cancellation line situation is a gamble, especially after the Tonys with some of the stars leaving in the next couple of weeks. So you gambled, and you lost. As Eliza would say, "Sometimes tha
Will any of the original Principals be in Hamilton after July 9th? Jun 14

I think it makes a lot of sense for the original Principals to "take a break" from the show. Many of them have been performing the same role for what? Fifteen months straight, eight days a week? That's gotta be rough. And hard to keep things fresh for the audience. At least some of them must have some great opportunities ahead of them. And for others, this may be the best time for them to chase opportunities they want or risk being forever typecast. I believe that Phillipa has said that s
Sounds like someone is bitter that she was not hired back. Which is understandable, but she would have been better off taking the high road. She may be right that Andy is not the best choice to adapt her choreography. But if that is the case, the work will speak for itself.
I am looking forward to seeing what Andy does with Cats. I gotta believe that he can do "feline." Also, I think it was a smart move to hire him, as that increases the chances
I'm sure that discussions have been ongoing, and that things will fall into place after the Tonys. If I'm one of the actors nominated for a Tony, I would absolutely hold off on making a commitment until I find out whether I get the Tony (and can leverage that into a nice hefty raise if I do agree to stay). I also suspect that the producers want to hold off on making any announcements about OBC departures until after they benefit from the inevitable bump in sales after Hami
