Meghann Fahy on as Natalie in Next to Normal TONIGHT

[alliez92092]

Is anyone going? I'd love to hear how she does, I think she'll be great.

[obsessedjb]

just got back from rush! I'm excited to see her!

[Mattt]

How was the rush crowd?

I am excited for Meghann! Isn't this the first time she has ever gone on at all since she started in Arlington?

[LoveIsCompany]

Earliest people got there at about 4:00 I think... those who got the last tickets and had gotten there at like 5:00 AM. I was towards the back of the line but that's what I had heard!

[brandonm2]

Jennifer's due back for tomorrow's performance right?

[alliez92092]

This is the first show Jenn has missed in the entire Broadway run and the Arena run. She missed 2 shows when they were at Second Stage.

[adamgreer]

I'll be there tonight. I did not rush, though. I'll be in orchestra row J.

[dramamama611]

Let it be said that I think Jen is wonderful. But it IS always exciting it hear about a understudy getting stage time!

Break a leg, Miss Fahy!!!!

Can't wait to hear (hopefully wonderful) things about it!!

[alightinthedark23]

I know it doesn't count for much, but she sounded good in the understudies concert on YouTube. I'm sure she will do great.

[taylorPHENOMENON2]

Earliest people got there at about 4:00 I think

I know there was certainly people there before 4 am, so people got there at 4 freaking pm the day before? That's crazy.

[WiCkEDrOcKS]

Wait, 4PM?! No way. That's absolutely ridiculous!

He/she has gotta mean 4AM. But even that's crazy.

[taylorPHENOMENON2]

I wish he did, but reports from a friend said by midnight there were 3 people in line!

[DRSisLove]

I heard there was someone that got there around 11 pm last night.

[Broadwayboy2631]

This makes sense to me. I saw the show on tuesday, and her voice sounded a little strained to me . I hope that Meghann does better than the other understudies who have gone on in the past couple of weeks.

[adamgreer]

I saw a facebook status last night at 11:25 PM from someone who said they were the third person on the line. So, 4 PM is probably true.

Absolutely ridiculous, and I think it's about time they switched over to a lotto.

[Tchi4Lif188]

Earliest people got there at about 4:00 I think... those who got the last tickets and had gotten there at like 5:00 AM. I was towards the back of the line but that's what I had heard!

Everyone who got the center front row slept out there all night and the rest of the front row was gone by about 4:45 this morning. I'm pretty sure the boxes were also gone shortly after 5am.

[WiCkEDrOcKS]

That is beyond ridiculous. People are NUTS!! 4PM?! Jeez.

[defyingravity07]

Can anyone say the new Spring Awakening?

[little_sally]

They should really switch over to a lotto.

[ljay889]

Some people are sick in the head. Really.

They need to make it lotto SOON. It seems the same people rush over and over again, so I doubt the lotto would get Wicked/WSS crowds.

LOTTO, PLEASE!

[defyingravity07]

Staying in line for 12+ hours to see an understudy is completely f*cked up.

[ljay889]

Exactly! I kind of understood when it was Pattis's last GYPSY.

But a no name understudy with no Broadway credits? Really?

[defyingravity07]

But ljay,I NEED to see all the understudies everytime they're on or I'M NOT A TRUE FAN!!

[Katurian2]

So people were lining up that early to see specifically the understudy? Or is it really getting that insane on a daily basis?

It seems almost unfathomable that people would make an understudy such a priority! And it's not like Natalie isn't amazing or anything!

[ljay889]

"But ljay,I NEED to see all the understudies everytime they're on or I'M NOT A TRUE FAN!!"


Yup! That perfectly sums up these fans who are rushing every day, and camping out. When the show opened, it didn't have many fans like this, yet. While I am glad the show has a growing fanbase... it's kind of creepy.
