Who's going?!

[dmrockon092]

I have tickets for the second week of July! I'm so excited to see Peppermint. I wonder what changes were made for Broadway!

I'm still on the fence about this one....but I might swing by next week.

Do go.  I think you'll be entertained at the very least.  The SF engagement was very promising.

Anybody at invited dress tonight?

And she's good too.

Peppermint is just one of the nicest people you’d ever want to meet. Excited to see her tomorrow night and wishing everyone involved the best!

Good too? You all seem to know who this Peppermint is?

Never heard of her.

Peppermint is a NYC drag queen who’s been around for a while before making it big on the national level as the runner-up of RuPaul’s Drag Race season 9. She’s also a trans performer, so her performing in this show on Broadway is something to celebrate.

I'm really interested in hearing the reports of Peppermint's performance. I saw the show in SF and she owned the role, had magnificent presence and voice. But, most of her lines were in Elizabethan words and meter and it seemed that coming from a different stage experience as the rest of the cast, she simply needed more work to really become comfortable with the text (one of the things that can certainly be learned and developed).

I'm going on Tuesday.

If the creatives change nothing from the San Francisco tryout, it's still an entertaining and likeable show. But I hope they make some smart adjustments, because some fixes would improve it. Watch for Andrew Durand, who turns in a winning comic performance as the shepherd.

Happy early birthday. I wanted to go then but I hit the wrong date when I was looking for tickets and didn't realize it until after I bought them...oops. 

[BroadwayNYC2]

So excited to see this! Should be a fun enough evening

Wasn't he one of the replacement cast of  the original Spring Awakening? If so, I remember being very impressed with him then.

I have 1 ticket for the 8pm Head Over Heels performance on Mon 6/25 that I can’t use. Total cost was $53.50 with fees. I don’t know where the seat is since this is a TDF ticket. I would need to pick up the ticket at the box office and meet you there before the show. Please PM if interested.

Andrew was a standout for me in the San Francisco run. Great comic timing and choices. Not a great singer (in my humble opinion) but I enjoyed all his moments on stage. Great little movements and all, really understands the character. 

For those who don't know Peppermint, I was in the same boat. I don't have a TV and don't watch Drag Race, and don't really follow the drag and trans worlds anyway. My buddy when we saw the show was all about Peppermint and kept telling me about her. I countered by telling him of my adoration of Rachel York who he had never heard of. So, touche. LOL 

And for those on the fence, please go. I was not going to see this here in San Francisco but my buddy took me a few days before closing and I had a great time. It's just a fun fluffy show. Same thing happened when the Priscilla... tour came to town. No interest, but I exited the theater a fan. HOH is a fun show, perfect for summer. The band here in SF was AWESOME. One of the few times I've seen an entire audience hang out during the exit music (of course it helped with the staging that the band was in full view so you could watch them). And the eight ensemble dancers left me speechless. Razor-sharp movements and a great range of choreography. I'll be miffed if Liff doesn't win the Tony next June. 

[dramamama611]

LOL.....I just grabbled a few TDF tickets for 4th of July week.  (Hotel was super cheap, too.)

[Famebroadway2]

Its not selling well AT ALL, so this one is going to need a strong word of mouth to survive.  Hoping the creatives worked out the kinks from the tryout!  

[perfectliar]

There's a $35 rush on Today Tix if anyone wants to try.

Going on Tues since I bought that ticket. Thanks for the offer though.

It's gonna FLOP!

[Ben_Platt_Out]

If they do Belinda Carlisle's signature dance move, they will recoup quickly.

And as right as you may be, does that mean we should talk about it or see it?   Or, god forbid, LIKE it?
