Many winners have been notified (I got an email on 11/6) and the original communication on the lottery website (which appears to be taken down now?) said that notifications would take place between the 6th and 17th. So if you don't hear by today, that's it. I am not sure if they would send "sorry, you didn't win&
I emailed the Social Toaster 'help' email address a few days ago --- I also submitted the form right away and then heard nothing after that. I asked if I would receive any follow-up or confirmation of my confirmation.
This was the response I got:
"We aren't sending out form confirmation emails, so as long as you filled out the form you're all set! We'll be sending out additional information regarding the performance once we get closer to the show.
Just a heads up -- Theatermania and BroadwayBox both have an active discount code through 10/1 if you want to catch the first week of these performances. I haven't seen the show yet and was pretty much waiting on a cast-based reason to go (I'd heard this rumor a few months ago), and this was it. Going the 28th and very excited!

I would guess it would be one of the swings who normally goes on for the role if needed. I know from social media that Andrew Chappelle and Thayne Jasperson have both done it, and I think I saw Neil Haskell in the costume once as well but that may have been a rehearsal.

This was my experience last Wednesday evening as well, though I don't recall how many of us were there waiting. But agree --- fantastic experience, very low-key. Wish all stage doors could be like this :)
When I went to the Shubert for Matilda I was in the side balcony and other than the pole semi-obstructing, I found it fine. But I went for Hello Dolly last weekend (on the TodayTix $39 no-fees deal) and this time was in the center balcony --- and the seats were way higher off the floor than I have ever experienced anywhere. I am only 5'2", but my feet did not come close to touching the ground. Has anyone else had this experience? Is it possible it was just that one random row? (I can

I went this Wednesday (7/5) to the evening show and she was in. Given that she's leaving the show in a couple of weeks, I would doubt that she has any scheduled absences. I haven't heard anything either way though.
Just to give a recent experience for anyone who might be interested --- I rushed last night (Friday 6/2). Got to the box office around 5:45pm and was able to get a seat in the last row of the center orchestra.

SAME! Haha. "Fall" cannot come soon enough...

I've seen posts in this thread indicating that Dear Evan Hansen is asking for donations even if you send to an individual cast member. Does anyone know if this is the case if you're including the item to be signed as well, or only if you're requesting, for example, a Playbill signed by Ben that you aren't providing? I'm hoping to send LOB cards to Ben, Rachel and Pasek+Paul. Thanks!
I purchased 2 tickets for the ShowScore member night meet-up on Wednesday 5/31 (evening show, 8pm) but my friend cannot come with me so I have 1 extra available. Just asking what I paid --- $49, including the fee. Paypal or Venmo only please.
I will email ShowScore to transfer the ticket to your name so you can pick it up directly from them outside the theater (beginning 30 min before the show). Per ShowScore, the seats
I've also found him much more open during live (non-print) interviews. I'm not sure if the video is still out there but he was on Seth Meyers' show a few months back and was very charming and yes, zany. I also attended the talk with him and Michael Greif at the 92 St Y recently and felt the same.
Are you in NYC or close? Sometimes I've seen show merch (magnets come to mind but other stuff as well) in the two Theatre Circle stores --- one on 44th St near 8th Ave and the other in Shubert Alley. I would imagine they would keep stuff out for sale even after a show closed though I can't be 100% positive.
It's not really merch, but the Playbill online store does have the Opening Night PB: Help me pick shows! Apr 26

Come From Away for sure. For the other slot, I liked Bandstand, Indecent and The Little Foxes recently. It depends on what type of show you're looking for.
Each of the two periods is about 6 weeks long. The current fundraising effort began in mid-March and runs through the Easter Bonnet competition in late April. There is a fall collection period beginning in mid/late October that runs through the Gypsy of the Year competition in early December.
There are other BC/EFA events during the year (Broadway Backwards, Flea Market), but to my knowledge, only the Bonnet and Gypsy ones involve post-show collections as you described.
