The last show I saw was the Come From Away tour in February. I still can't really handle 9/11 media because I was pretty much close to tears or crying bthe whole time. But I really enjoyed it! Plus, the Columbus crowd went wild when they mentioned the zoo at the end.

I really need to go back to NYC, but I need a job that will let me afford that first.

The report is Jane Lynch was always planned for a six-month run but Beanie was contracted for longer 😬

It’s sad to see CFA closing but it had a wonderful run. I might try to sneak in another visit before it closes.

DEH run will end up being shorter than I had predicted; obviously, covid was a factor but the movie's reputation couldn’t have helped.

Edit: I've been seeing a lot of shows recently, and I have plenty lined up for the summer too. Most recently, the best things I've seen were Dana H. and the Hadestown tour (minus the actor playing Hermes 😬).

I'm curious about your emoji! I had heard T. Oliver Reid was actually a good choice for Hermes but now I'm nervous.

I saw the national tour. T. Oliver is playing Hermes on Broadway; haven’t seen him but most comments have been positive.

The movie really scuppered DEH. It’s closing in the west end too, and there seems to be so many seats available on the day whereas before covid it was sold out night after night

I saw come from away in chicago earlier this year and loved it! sad I never got to see it on broadway.

I saw Hamilton here on tour a couple weeks ago and am seeing Come From Away when it's here in August which I'm really looking forward to

Enjoy! Come From Away is incredible. I've seen it twice on broadway and watched the pro shot a handful of times. It brings me so much happiness and optimism, tbh!

Six months of broadway must be hell on the voice

I know I have horrible ~technique because my throat always hurts after a night of karaoke
