Is this a joke? I'm never sure. Because I'm pretty sure Mary Poppins would be one of the last shows I'd pick.

I'll say Wicked. Those damn attention whores.

You couldn't drag me back to see that even with the promise of a marriage proposal.

Excuse my ignorance but I was out tonight and heard about the vote by text. Watching my love now (Anderson Cooper) to get the details. Does it go into effect immediately? If so - I'll be emailing Anderson a proposal.

The Normal Heart seems the most obvious, but least (but maybe most?) probable.
What a colossal piece of crap! It'll probably run for years.

The law takes 30 days to go into effect. The Normal Heart, since it will not be extending, will be closed before that date.

I still think they'll do at Wicked first.

Can't get marriage licenses for 30 days, but there can certainly be a proposal.
When I see the phrase "the ____ estate", I imagine a vast mansion in the country full of monocled men and high-collared women receiving letters about productions across the country and doing spit-takes at whatever they contain. -Kad

Priscilla would be awesome and obvious but I don't think it would be memorable. Wicked would be perfect because they just sang For Good... how romantic!

While there may not be any proposals after the Normal Heart, tonight immediately after the curtain call one of the producers came out on to the stage to tell the audience that the bill had passed. And the audience began cheering again and the cast came back out to celebrate - it was fantastic.

I'm thinking Anything Goes for the first proposal.

According to ATC, a woman proposed to her girlfriend last night at The Normal Heart.
"You travel alone because other people are only there to remind you how much that hook hurts that we all bit down on. Wait for that one day we can bite free and get back out there in space where we belong, sail back over water, over skies, into space, the hook finally out of our mouths and we wander back out there in space spawning to other planets never to return hurrah to earth and we'll look back and can't even see these lives here anymore. Only the taste of blood to remind us we ever existed. The earth is small. We're gone. We're dead. We're safe." -John Guare, Landscape of the Body

Well The Normal Heart is the Mary Poppins of plays, so I was still kind of right.
