From what I've been told -- they're going to have pie.
They're thinking about having mini pie-cakes for the audience attending that night.

Well I didn't want to get into it, but he's a Satanist.
Every full moon he sacrifices 4 puppies to the Dark Lord and smears their blood on his paino.
This should help you understand the score for Wicked a little bit more.

We're not gonna have punch and pie.
MORE PEOPLE WILL COME IF THEY THINK WE HAVE PUNCH AND PIE!!!!!
Uh, we were to understand there'd be pie and punch.
There isn't any.
Oh.
But seriously. Was there gonna be a thing with the original cast? A tribute to Jason Raize. Yes? No? Maybe?

It seems like Lion King deserves a little more than that! Sad 
"It means nothing to come and sit in a theater night after night and immerse yourself in fantasy, only then to walk out the door and be unchanged in reality. This show will live on in our hearts. But where it truly must survive is in our actions, our compassion and our generousity of spirit towards one another." - Adam Pascal on the closing of RENT

Posted: 12/1/07 at 11:05pmI work for the LK. It was the 6:30 Sunday night show as usual then a party at Cibriani's (sp?) near Grand Central. The show was obviously called off, and the party was just moved earlier. There was a tiny little reference made to the OBC and other than pictures in a slide show no mention of Jason Raize

Sorry to go off topic. I was also wondering about LK.

Posted: 12/2/07 at 6:45pmKnowing that it is the tenth anniversary of Disney's biggest theaterical money maker I am sure that they are going to do something. I just find it sad that they are going to refer to the entier OBC and not mention Jason Raze.

Cooolkid,
No they didn't. Prior to the strike they had a set date planned out and everything. It was going to be an invite only event and they didn't sell tickets to the public for that night. However, they cancled and have to reschedule everything. It hasn't been announced as to when the new date is going to be but clearly due to the strike they had to change it.
