Last night’s performance of To Kill A Mockingbird ended abruptly after a backfiring motorcycle led to mass

I know someone who was at TKAM last night. She said people from the street were rushing into the theater, she got pushed backstage, and some of the actors were crying; definitely a scary situation all around.

The concept of Six sounds interesting but it’s also only 75 mins long and will play on cruise ships?

Yeah, I have similar thoughts re: Six! Like, yes, I have heard great things about it, but I hope they aren't charging Broadway prices for what is essentially a short concert.

I absolutely cannot wait for Six. It's such a fun little show and the songs are ridiculously catchy.

I saw Six in Cambridge before it returned to its run on the West End in London. I don't usually care for musicals but I thought it was fantastic - the music was great, it was informative and fun and the all-women band was a nice touch too. I walked away feeling very renewed with positive female energy <3

i would like to somehow see both little shops of horror and then hercules too

I think I might be able to swing both Little Shops, which I am excited about!! But definitely not Hercules. I hope they end up running it again in the near future, a week's worth of performances is obviously not enough.

I saw Beetlejuice a few weeks back and I want to see it again it was soooooo good. The music not so much but everything else was amazing.

Oooh, I want to see it! I liked the Tony performance. Good word of mouth has really turned the box office around, which is encouraging - it wasn't doing too hot for a while, but things look much better the last few weeks.

It helps that they've released more performance video

And the girl playing Lydia just turned 18 and has a huge teen fandom lol

And the best song by far is Girl Scout.

I loved the music! I saw it in previews though so I'm not sure how much they changed. I still haven't listened to the cast recording, oop!
