This is disappointing. I've planned a trip around this production based on the announced April-June run. I was slightly worried there might be some sort of scheduling nonsense but I never imagined it would only run 5 weeks. Oof. Should have known better I suppose. But. Still. Oof."
Similar for me. I am going to be in NYC for a day in June and was planning on seeing this, hopefully it extends

Yeah wow. Lots of interesting tidbits in there. Feel bad for them
Jordan Catalano said: "I caught this in London last night and will add this to the list of shows that just shocked the hell out of me in the best possible way. I walk into any jukebox musical with the same skepticism but this one did it right and they knocked it out of the park in basically every single way.
The songs fit so perfectly into the story they were telling that there was (at least in my memory right now) no instance where I felt a song didn’t fit and was b

I enjoyed Beetlejuice. I was a little worried after seeing some of the reviews on here but I had a ton of fun and I adore Alex Brightman. Sure it wasn’t ground breaking or anything, but I laughed and enjoyed myself. That’s all I can really ask for

The sound went out in the middle of The Abduction during The Great Comet. They tried to keep going but eventually everyone cleared the stage. The audience started singing Balaga’s song and clapping.
They finally got it working again and they took their places and Lucas Steele turned to the audience and said “does everyone remember where we were?”
Handled it great. They had to cut the bows short too for time. There were IG stories from the cast filming the audience as they sang
Ledaero said: "Not sure if anyone has noticed, but it appears that Octet went live with a website today. I found this link buried in the Kickstarter update. Maybe they went live a while ago, but this is the first I'm hearing about it. Feels very commercial, I'm wondering what plans they have for the show's future. They have a mailing list sign-up on the website to get more information on the show. Implying more runs??
raddersons said: "Not sure at all about the recording process for this, but it sounds like this is mixed from a live recording -- you can hear the audience faintly at a few moments."
It is. Dave tweeted on the night they recorded it that they were doing it for the album.
Not loving Alex Gibson laughing during The Field. It’s a fun moment but it’s not exactly what you want from a cast recording

As for the NY speculation. I talked to Dave at the Guggenheim preview for Octet and he said it was coming to NY after it’s initial run.
