Posted: 11/28/10 at 6:31pmSince the Times article said the show will most likely be stopped at points this evening, I am betting 3 1/2 hours. Running time is supposed to be 2 1/2 hours.

"You can't overrate Bernadette Peters. She is such a genius. There's a moment in "Too Many Mornings" and Bernadette doing 'I wore green the last time' - It's a voice that is just already given up - it is so sorrowful. Tragic. You can see from that moment the show is going to be headed into such dark territory and it hinges on this tiny throwaway moment of the voice." - Ben Brantley (2022)
"Bernadette's whole, stunning performance [as Rose in Gypsy] galvanized the actors capable of letting loose with her. Bernadette's Rose did take its rightful place, but too late, and unseen by too many who should have seen it" Arthur Laurents (2009)

Wow, it sounds like a zoo! So excited.

Posted: 11/28/10 at 6:36pmI'm guessing it'll run closer to 4 hours. There's so much going on with the set that I'm predicting multiple Little Mermaid-like raise the lights and apologize to the audience moments. The difference is this is a preview performance where that was well into the show's run.

"I am standing on the ticketholders line. It is showtime and the line is still all the way down the block! I can't wait! Will report back at intermission."
So the first technical problem of the night is...the doors to the theatre won't open?
PEACE.

Posted: 11/28/10 at 6:40pmI was hoping the show curtain wouldn't have the title on it, but it's very nice otherwise.

"I was hoping the show curtain wouldn't have the title on it, but it's very nice otherwise."
I know,right? I hate it when there are spoilers on the show curtain, too.
Fingers crossed, Snafu.
Oh, 60 Minutes coming up in 14 minutes!
PEACE.

Posted: 11/28/10 at 6:49pmAnyone have a picture of the curtain with the theatre included? I just want to know what was added to the theatre for this production.

AHHH. So exciting.
Full song listing from twitter:
Act 1:
splash page
behold and wonder
bullying by numbers
no more
d.i.y. world
bouncing off the walls
rise above
Pull the trigger
picture this
I'll take manhattan
Act2:
spider-man rising
turn off the dark
walk away
think again
sinistereo
deeply furious
if the world should end
The boy falls from the sky
love me or kill me

Posted: 11/28/10 at 6:57pmI love technology. This is hilarious. That photo of the show curtain is among the best quality I think we've ever had uploaded on this forum - and it comes before the first performance has even started LOL.

Posted: 11/28/10 at 7:00pmI'm seeing this Wednesday night, second performance (and the first one with discounts). I can only imagine why the need a three day gap to work things out.

Posted: 11/28/10 at 7:08pmUnfortunately, the 60 Min promo also makes it look like Bono is IN the show.
PEACE.
