Likes: Musical Theatre (acting, dancing, singing, choreographing, teaching, directing, dramaturgy), reading, learning and growing as a person and an artist, sharing my passions with those that also love and appreciate them! Dislikes: my day job :/

Perfect - thank you so much, I really appreciate it! :)
I just saw that and was coming here to edit my post. Didn't realize their schedule was so different (yeesh, it's been too long since I visited the city!). Thanks for the heads up though!
That being said, I see 1 ticket left for the playbill discount that comes to $71 with fees, but a lot of tickets left for the show at higher prices. Does that at all effect the lottery? Is it better to spend the extra $10-$20 and just buy that ticket now? I'll kick myself if I miss it but a
Do you think it's worth possibly passing up another show to do the lottery for this? I'll be in the city Wednesday and can see a matinee and evening, OOTI is my top choice for what I want to see but I can only afford the lottery.
Because it's in person I'm worried that I'll miss out on digital or lining up for something else only to lose this lottery and end up seeing nothing. Hoping someone has been recently and can give me a little advise on how high the risk

I'm no fan of Lea by any stretch of the imagination, so I hope she stays far away. She has a good voice, but IMO her acting isn't all that wonderful and her attitude and try-hard ways take away from what she could be.
Wow. Initially I was disappointed I wouldn't be able to make this (nor, honestly, could I afford it) but it sounds like all-in-all it was a blessing in disguise.
Admittedly, when I was a youngin, in/just out of college, this would have thrilled me. Had I been able to save up, I know I wouldn't have felt ripped out nor would I care about the money aspect. If things were unorganized or whatever, I'd have powered through with a smile because omg I'm about to not only
I also saw the show in Boston and it was wonderful. Very moving, I think for women in particular it will strike a chord. You've also got fans of the movie, and Sara Bareilles (not to mention some Orange Is The New Black fans that will go for Kimiko), plus it seems to be the most anticipated show coming this season and with Hamilton being impossible to go to, I think a lot of people are going to run to this as their next-best-thing.
The fact that after this line, Stritch goes into talking about costumes, sets, props, makeup, reminiscing about her work behind the scenes and an opening number along the same lines, seems clearly indicative of her intention in stairs v. stares. If it were the latter, there'd be some mention of it in the number and anecdotes it introduces, no?
Darren Criss & Beau Bridges in HOW TO SUCCEED... Thoughts? Jan 6

snl, I'm POSITIVE that Darren grew up doing musicals - I've seen interviews where he talks about it. There's also this lengthly list of credits pre-college (unless one doesn't consider Fanny, Do I Hear A Waltz?, Babes In Arms, Music Man, or Fiddler on the Roof to be musicals):
"Criss made his professional stage debut at the age of ten in 42nd Street Moon's 1997 production of Fanny, in the role of Cesario. The next year, Criss played Mauro in the same company's production of the Richard

Criss was not a Musical Theatre major at U of M, he was a theatre performance major though, grew up doing musicals in San Fran since he was a child, is a songwriter as well as a composer lyricist with 5 musicals under his belt, and plays about 8 instruments that he grew up being trained on. So I wouldn't say that 'singing' is at all a new thing to him or something that he can't grasp or isn't at all trained on. Considering how much musical learning was a part of his youth, I would be surprised i

snl, that is a valid point and a good mentality to have. I have both missed out on something I ended up eventually seeing on tour sans some amazing original bway cast members because I was told I'd hate something I ended up loving, and seen things I was looking forward to that I wished I'd been warned about. More or less, I have some folks who know me and what I appreciate most about my theatre, and if they tell me not to waste my time and money because I'll be disappointed, I usually heed that

As an avid anti-Twilighter and a big fan of Meghann Fahy, Lauren Lopez (hooray for her getting out there beyond Starkid more and more!) and Jenna Leigh Green, I'm so bummed I went to NYC last weekend instead of arranging to go at a time I could catch this. Bummer.

Seriously, I couldn't agree with you more Jordan. It's not like the successful film actor is adapting to how theatre works. He was raised on it, studied it in college (at a great program, btw), he knows what he's doing and that it's something you fine tune PRIOR to performing in rehearsals. Shoot - AVPM was only performed for what, one weekend? And he was good in that! I jsut don't think he is good in this role, that's all.
Adn I didn't find him slimy at all. I foudn him...innocent and
Lea Michele BLACKLISTED?!? Jan 5

Oddly enough, my mother was just asking (or rather venting) me and my little sister about Taylor Swift a few days ago: "Isn't she supposed to be country? Then why do I hear her on the radio all the time when I don't ever listen to country stations?! I don't get what the big deal is about her - I don't like her and I want her off my radio all the time. Isn't she supposed to be a country singer anyways?" lol. Much like they did to Leann Rimes back in the "How Will I Live Without You" day, Tay
