The characters wanted something, they went through a series of experiences, and the situation was resolved. There was no further story necessary, so no reason for the sequels to exist. ANNIE 2 especially suffered from lack of any reason to be. Movies with good sequels (say, THE GODFATHER), had more story to tell.."
Saw this too. I'll likely not bother since I'm out of Felix Felicis. Also, I've seen it twice, so don't really need to see it again, especially if I can't bring someone.

i think we they have been sitting quite close to each other. I have nothing really to add to the sentiments above. I wholeheartedly agree with the group mind. I als
I'm probably going to be a bit of a contrarian here. I don't think timing is the issue unless by timing you mean this year. I thought this was a play whose time had come and gone, at least as presented in this revival. After seeing that I thought that was an amazingly uncomfortable piece of theate, and not in a good way, partially because I know many of my friends would be triggered by this. I've confirmed this with the only female friend of mine who's seen it.

You know that you can wait and listen when the whole album is released, right? Just because you don't want to hear songs in drops doesn't mean that anyone else wouldn't want to"
With 40 songs to mix, I think they wanted to balance catching some of the excited post-Tony sales with getting it all ship-shape. I'm happier
Reneepalace said: "Hi- we have 3 in our group visiting NYC THE WEEK OF June 24. How early should we be in line for rush seats withthis new policy and is it advisable to try the lottery AND rush?"
The lottery tells you if you won the day before, so it can't hurt to play the lottery (although only two of you will get tickets if you have one win)

It was even up for opening night (I went, Mezz seats)
hveasey said: "Does anyone know why Chicago never pops up on TDF? As a long running show that isn’t playing at anywhere close to its maximum gross I’d think it would be up there all the time but I’ve never seen it.
I just had an urge to see it again after watching Fosse/Verdon and was curious."
Probably because if it did pop up, none of us TDF people would ever see it for retail (not that we're seeing it often, but I did promise to br
This relates to a current controversy with regards to Hadestown and the song "our Lady of the underground". Hermes who, not to be a spoiler, takes on the persona of a New Orleans Mardi gras barker, has a line (a question in a song) that begs for an answer (call and response). The argument is about whether he's just speaking to the other people on stage, who respond to him, or to the audience.
Mike Barrett said: "Never bought on a 2 show day before, if I purchase for the evening show do I still need to pick up before that show specifically or for a 2 show day can I go earlier in the day to pick up my ticket?"
Depends entirely on the specific box office. Some will give them to you, some haven't printed/sorted and will tell you to come back. I've had both happen to me.

I don’t think this is true?? I mean I guess you could interpret Persephone as jealous but isn’t it more because she admires Orpheus and wants them to be together and alive?"
Considering she says something like "take your time" when
