i went to the first preview last night. It was a lot of fun. James Monroe Iglehart was one of the performers. He was not in the playbill or listed anywhere as being part of the cast. Maybe he was that n

I agree! It was seamless My heart was racing dreading the potential hot mess but was pleasantly surprised.
PROM: TDF or RUSH? Jun 2

I did TDF a couple weeks ago on a Tuesday. We were front row balcony with the bar at eye level. Not my favorite. I think a lot of the people around us moved to the mezzanine at intermission.
I am over Telecharge, but sadly, I need to use it. Both Network and King Lear were horrible wastes of time. When you get through the whole process and all you need to do is put in your cc security code and it will not let you do so, it is so frustrating. I ended up having to call for King Lear. When you call, they do not link the purchase to your acccount. So frustrating.

So a few changes from the first preview (spoilers ahead):
The guys in the ensemble was dressed as gentlemen at the club in the intro period of the first preview. Now, they are dressed in leather in a more provocative style. The older man in front of me said that a male and female ensemble member should “Get a Room.&rd

This was my number one complaint after seeing it last night. Of all the changes they made, I had the most issue with this one.
I am glad that you agree. It is bothering more after

There wasn’t a lot. Just as if dancers were looking at their audience and trying to draw them in. Lots of eye contact, some touching, one guy’s hair got played with, minimal conversation, etc. A

MakeThemHearYou2 said: "Roxanne - major disappointment. It has no dramatic tension, it’s just Christian singing the entire song. The Duke doesn’t attack Satine in this number (due to plot change) so the entire impact is lost. The song doesn’t have a clear ending either, I was sure it was going to have a massive finish
EllieRose2 said: "Metal detectors? That's insanely annoying and will slow the entire process down. They should tell people to come at least 45 minutes early or always expect to start the show late. It's very odd that Boston would have more security than Midtown NYC."
Harry Potter has metal detectors as well. I think it will be the new norm. After the Boston Marathon, I am nit surprised. I’d rather be annoyed and safe.
I just got back to hotel. I will try to give a brief synopsis. First of all, their was no one telling people what to do outside of the theater so lines formed on both sides of the door. People were going in to pick up tickets and not coming back out so I went in. Right after that, a staff member went outside and told people they could come in, but they never opened the doors so people had to hand it off to the next person. The theater is stunning but the lobby is
