Last time they split the talent using London to provide enough leads to make the tour look good and gave the tour a top Valjean on top . You ended up with London having the stronger Eponine, and Thenardiers . But London also keeping a weaker Valjean and all the supposedly star names working up for the concert, , and the tour getting JOJ , plus Earl Carpenter and Katie Hall from London as Javert and Cosette, And its the London Eponine and the tour Cosette who get the roles for the concert. I know this is going off topic, but wasn't Katie Hall a last minute addition to the concert? Camilla Kerslake was originally billed to play Cosette in the concert, and went into the West End production in the run-up. But I think just a few days before the concert, it was announced that Katie would play the role. I have no idea if Camilla was ill, or just not up to it - or if they realised they needed a stronger Cosette to help carry Nick Jonas (but that's pure speculation on my part). Yep; it was pretty last-minute: www.broadwayworld.com/westend/article/Latest-Katie-Hall-To-Play-Cosette-In-LES-MISERABLES-CONCERT-20100929

Today I have a Super Mario Brothers song in my head. I don't remember if it's from the old Super Mario 2 or 3. I'll have to click through Spotify to figure it out!

I was last in the Curran to see Fun Home last year and the renovations are amazing. I love it! A good friend of mine saw Head Over Heels last week and you were much more positive than she was.

I currently have "Gimme Gimme" from Thoroughly Modern Millie stuck in my head. I blame watching the Live from Lincoln Center broadcast of Sutton Foster's concert.

It's rare that a touring house wouldn't use Ticketmaster or Telecharge for ticketing. Just go by the show's official site if you're not sure if you're on the right site for the official local presenter. And if you can't find that, they probably have a verified social media presence, at least.

I don't get why they are having three actresses play Cher at different stages of her life. Cher has looked the same for the past few decades - surely one actress and a few good wigs would be enough?! Maybe they're doing a Fun Home thing where the three people playing the same person don't necessarily have to look similar. (Yes, I know — Cher is much more famous than Alison Bechdel.)

No, but if it's something you enjoy and it's not hurting anyone else, then go for it.

Agreed! I'm fine with trailers — if there are regular commercials I'd want them to be as special as a Super Bowl ad, not something I could see elsewhere.

Make-up (non-theatrical) is insulting both to the wearer and observer. Wearing it says both that you don't feel acceptable as you really are and that others will not accept you that way either. How do you feel about clothing*? We're naked "as we really are." * not custom-made for extreme temperatures or other environmental protections; you know what I meant

Yeah, I find it hard to write off make-up on public transport as being the same as other types of grooming. If your grooming has the potential to leave things behind (toothpaste spit, toenail clippings, stray hairs, etc) then keep it to the privacy of your own home, but if you've got a steady enough hand to do your make-up on a moving vehicle and have written that into your morning routine, then I'm just going to respect you as the artistic wizard you are, and not sit quietly disapproving of you because I have decided that you can wake up half an hour earlier even though I know literally nothing about you or your pre-commuting morning routine. That's how I feel about food as well — if it leaves nothing behind, who cares? If it's not crumbly or smelly, I'm fine with you doing it on the train. I'm totally fine with lotion too, as long as it's not too scented. I always carry lotion in my purse with me, but the scented ones stay home!

Oh, I see. Thanks! I had never heard that term. It also can refer to a show that does eventually tour but that's not in its original announcement — like Les Miz in LA in the '80s and the first production Book of Mormon in Chicago.

I'd say not to skip on SpongeBob, of those three, and for those reasons.
Welcome and have fun!

You'd think watching a show 23 times about the first Secretary of the Treasury would make for some impressively fiscally responsible people - no?! Maybe they already are. And what makes it your business?

The score is not a high point, and what they chose for the trailer is a little puzzling, given that it's hard to understand what's even being sung.
When I saw it, I felt like the score worked for the period I had my butt in that seat, but I never gave 98% of it another thought; the remaining 2% was stuck in my head because it reminded me of something else.

I probably make grammar mistakes since English is not my first language (and I apologize for that) so maybe I shouldn't be the one posting here, but I'll say people writing "it's" when it should be "its" makes me cringe. As this is my line of work, I search through the entire page for both "its" and "it's" before I'm done. Everyone should try it! Oh, search for "you," too. It'll encompass all the wrong "your" vs "you're" uses, along with anytime you've omitted the "r" when you meant "your." Just make sure you notice it...

I think they mean the use of "of" instead of "have."

The unnecessary "I'm sorry" is so devaluing. I hate it. I know a lot of it stems from insecurity, but come on! Don't apologize if there's nothing to apologize for!

I think with the exception of a few understudies and Glaston Toft (original Nick in Australia and I think is doing it again now), every time I've seen the show, they go out of their way to cast an exceptionally tall guy as Bob to stick out from the rest of the group. They even say "preferably tall" here: www.backstage.com/casting/jersey-boys-dancers-49578/bob-186039/

That's weird. Did it not force you to update the app recently? It did to me, which makes me wonder if it included elimination of all the referrals and references to them. But I'm US-based (not that the app itself is different, AFAIK?).
