If there isn't a second cover then the audience is out of luck. But it doesn't half make Sophie's job of working out who her dad is a lot easier - and a much shorter show. And if all of them are off... "Sophie, could you pass me that dopted?" "What's a dopted?" "You are." |

So you'd have to have all 3 leads plus 1 of the 3 u/s all off at the same time, which would be very unlikely, before Sophie ran out of possible dads! Have you hacked into the script for "Mamma Mia 2" Dawnstar?! No. Isn't MM2 supposed to be mostly flashbacks anyway? If I were to do any hacking my target wouldn't be MM, it'd be Mischief Theatre's mystery new project! |

I wouldn't be surprised if the cast recording producers reissue the OBC with bonus tracks that include the cut material. I personally want an alternative version of Waving Through A Window with all the dialogue. Sometimes I feel like I have crystal ball. Dear Evan Hansen to Release Special Edition Vinyl with Never-Before-Heard Track The 2017 Tony-winning Best Musical Dear Evan Hansen has announced the release of a limited-edition 12" vinyl picture disc (and accompanying digital track) including one of the show’s most popular songs, “Waving Through a Window,” paired with the previously unreleased, never-before-heard track “In the Bedroom Down the Hall.” The song is written by Tony winners Benj Pasek and Justin Paul and performed by Tony winner Rachel Bay Jones and Tony nominee Jennifer Laura Thompson. “In the Bedroom Down the Hall” will also be released digitally and will be available for streaming and download. This news comes just as Dear Evan Hansen's behind-the-scenes book Through the Window preps for a November 21 release. www.broadway.com/buzz/190406/odds-ends-dear-evan-hansen-to-release-vinyl-with-never-before-heard-track-more/ |

Oooo Ben's final curtain today got me all emotional. No speeches, just how the audience loved him so much even when the lights came up, he had to go out again because no one would leave!  www.pscp.tv/w/1zqJVMpdXqMGB |

Nice. But I really never knew how people were capable of doing this "whaaaaw" sound at the end of songs or curtain calls. I just can't do that kind of sh*t with my voice.

So I decided to get Spotify Premium due to it only being 99p (Yes, only 99 pence) for new customers for the first 3 months. I listened to a bit of nostalgic music from my childhood then I finally moved onto musical theatre, even though I'm never usually a fan of cast recordings. I'm much more a visual person with musicals and their songs.
I decided to give Evan Hansen a go since it appeared at the top of the musical section, and DAMN does this show have bloody good songs. I understand the hype for this one having never understood the hype of Hamilton.
Come to London please

This has probably been discussed but I don't want to read the whole thread - chances of this coming to London?

So Ben sang 'Somewhere' from 'West Side Story' at the Grammys this weekend as part of a tribute to Leonard Bernstein. And here it is for those who love the Plattster.

Testing the water. I brought the script a while ago, as I couldn't afford a trip to NY to see the show - next best thing, read the script. Having read it now, and have an additional copy in the big white book that I got this is surplus. Would anyone be interesting in buying it? Its been read once, in great condition and a shame to have it just sat on a shelf not put to better use. Size-wise its a5 height.  |

Finally saw DEH on Saturday afternoon. It was the show I was most looking forward to and it absolutely lived up to it. I thought it was absolutely stunning. I had heard the cast recording (umpteen times) but knew very little of the story. I found it very emotionally hard hitting, more than I thought I would. I think everybody can, to a certain extent, relate to something that the characters are going through, whether that's Evan or his mum, or Zoe or her parents. The performances were astounding. We had Michael Lee Brown as Evan and he blew me away. Never mind the fact that he sung the score with ease, it was his acting that did it for me, so emotive. I really liked Laura Dreyfuss as Zoe- my friend wasn't quite so convinced, finding her quite standoffish, but I think that's the way the part was written/directed. Rachel Bay Jones sounded in need of a vocal rest. She was great, but you could hear in her voice that she was struggling. I'm trying to keep this short so won't go into depth on every single cast member! I thought the set design worked well, a clever use of projections. It's one of those shows that in some future year, could be performed in a black box with little set and would still be just as effective. Five stars. Do you think it would well in the West End? |

I've been reading all your Broadway reviews and I'm so jealous! Can't afford a NY trip right now. Looks like you are having lots of fun! Enjoy the rest of it! |

Thanks @eldermillan, we've had a great time! Lots of months of saving and planning. But we got very cheap flights and reasonable accommodation, so all in all it hasn't been too bad financially!

That’s got to be a kick in the teeth for Noah Galvin hasn’t it?! Not good enough for Broadway fulltime, so stepped into the role between Ben leaving and Taylor starting... and now not good enough to lead the first US tour?!

Well... based on word of mouth and on what little I could hear in recordings appeared on YouTube at some point (which of course are not the best to get an exact idea, but they may be enough to notice not too great vocals), Noah Galvin wasn't good enough full stop  . |
