Usually love Jesse, but this is just some interesting thoughts looking for a point.

Left on Tenth already sounds like the most generically titled show-within-a-show, so it makes sense the marketing should look equally generic.

Elsie Fest just happened, right? Did he make any reference to it there?

In the minority, maybe, but I don't like it when two awards for the same project counts towards EGOT. From Ben and Cynthia's Emmy wins for a promotional appearance, to P&P, among others, winning a Grammy for the same product they put on Broadway.

Darren was on Elvis Duran Show, and discusses the show!

Darren Criss On Elsie Fest 2024, Broadway's 'Maybe Happy Ending' + More | Elvis Duran Show

FYI at the end of today's Elvis Duran show, he said Darren might be interviewing tomorrow. Interesting that he said maybe.

Grossed out but can't say I'm not surprised by the high ticket prices, his name was getting $180-$350 for Little Shop. But the Little Shop name was a big help. 

If I recall correctly, there were no plans to bring Newsies to Broadway, but it went so well at Papermill they transferred it to Broadway and did well. When they aimed Little Mermaid, Tarzan, and Frozen for Broadway, it didn't. Maybe they're better off not aiming straight for Broadway, and only if they back into a hit, then they can transfer.

While I am bummed Giuseppe Basilio isn't part of the regular ensemble, otherwise I'm excited to see so much real diversity in the cast.

I'm praying to the Broadway gods that she overlaps with Alyssa's run and out of Broadway week, so I can use the normal discount for a solo ticket - win-win-win!

With my various issue trying to buy on their site, if I can't move after a few tries, I just call them and tell them what I want. I wonder if their callers are fielding more calls since I can't imagine anyone finds their site worth the effort.

The Belasco would be a nice fit forThe Motive and the CueorGlengarry Glen Ross.

Hey now let's not hit Elvis Duran with collateral damage. I happen to enjoy the morning show.

How is first row orchestra at the Hudson? I'd love some legroom if there is anyway, but is the stage too high?

Even if she wanted to do it, I can't imagine it more than a concert run. It's an endurance test of a role.

Indeed. EGOT Rita Moreno played the role in the London production for a vacationing Petula Clark for several weeks in September and October 1996:

It's an easy oversight. Only two months, close to the end of the show's run, and Rita wasn't exactly in the career renaissance she's enjoying now. 

Not gonna lie, Bowman was kind of a meh choice IMO to take on a big alternate role. Gonzalez, on the other hand, is an extremely pleasant surprise. And I have to say, having both the main and alternate Norma not being played by the typically white leading ladies is refreshing. 

Sure because second from the stage and second row from the back are entirely the same experience.

We could have been sitting next to each other or in the same row."

Because I guess it matters, I was in Orchestra Left Row N.
