Welcome Roxxoff, Check your DOB and let me know if it's now correct. Coop

Why do you watch the show?

It's becoming a hard ticket to get as word of this new musical is spreading. The performance I saw was sold out. I thoroughly enjoyed it. Thought Katrina Lenk & Tony Shalhoub were superb. Excellent cast. One act, 95 min. Stick around after the show, you'll be entertained by the ceremonial band.

Last night's episode introduced us to Jack's young grandson, Skip, who happens to be gay. When Jack's son Elliot asks "Grandpa" Jack to take Skip to his 1st Broadway show, Jack's reaction is priceless. Guest appearances were made by Jane Lynch & Andrew Rannells. They play a married couple who run a camp that's suppose to teach kids to be straight. Good make-out scene between Will & Andrew. A few other laughs like how one sits on a sofa can determine if you are gay but, seriously, Grace needs some better lines. Her character is getting stale.

Oh, yes! I always wanted a mini-Cooper.

Tony winner Ben Platt, who plays Evan Hansen in the Tony winning musical Dear Evan Hansen, was very funny as Will's 23 yo date. The gay history lesson was amusing with the confusion over Stonewall & Stonehedge, plus, the old/new comparisons of coming out. Well done! The line about "Judy Ism" was a hoot. Enjoyed the episode.

That's an amazing cast. JOHN GOLDEN THEATRE 252 W. 45TH ST. On the heels of her triumphant reappearance last season on London’s West End after a 25-year absence, two-time Academy Award winner Glenda Jackson makes her long-awaited return to Broadway alongside three-time Emmy and Tony Award winner Laurie Metcalf and Tony nominee Alison Pill in the Broadway premiere of Edward Albee’s Pulitzer Prize-winning masterpiece, Three Tall Women. The play also won the New York Drama Critics' Circle and Outer Critics Circle Awards for Best Play. Two-time Tony winner Joe Mantello directs. SYNOPSIS: Three women of different ages talk about their lives and their relationships with their families. Gradually it emerges that they may all be the same woman. Performances begin February 27

@foxy, The NY Times has an excellent article on Ben Platt & how he prepares for his shows. Didn't realize he was just 23 yo. What an amazing performance he gives. He's my choice for the Tony. When I 1st saw "Dear Evan Hansen" most of my friends had never heard of it, now everyone is talking about it & wants to see it. Same with Ben Platt. He's now a household name. https://mobile.nytimes.com/2017/05/10/theater/how-ben-platt-beame-the-toast-of-broadway-dear-evan-hansen-tony-awards.html

Tony nominations will be announced on May 2nd... Ben Platt, star of Dear Evan Hansen, is someone I'd expect to be nominated as Best actor in a Musical. He's the reason for seeing this amazing show.

Interesting fact I learned from the play. To show appreciation to the people of Gander, the US sent them a piece of the steel from the World Trade Center. Gander is the only place outside of the US that holds a piece of the WTC.

Currently, "Come From Away", is not a difficult ticket to get. It's available at TKTS & on TDF. The performance I saw was sold out.

Saw this new musical at the Schoenfeld Theatre. It's a 100 minute play with no intermission. It deals with the tragic events surrounding 9-11 and how 38 planes were diverted to a small airport in Gander, Newfoundland. It's a true story that deals with the passengers, some 7,000, who were stranded in Gander for 5 days and the folks who took care of them. As the planes begin to arrive there is a lot of confusion as to the steps needed to house and care for so many stranded passengers. Some remained on the planes for 28 hours with no knowledge of what was happening. As the story unfolds, it focus on the lives of 12 passengers who cover all walks of life and how they handled these difficult days. The people of the small town of Gander graciously and generously team up to care for them. They provide meals, clothing, housing, phones, support, and entertainment. The cast of 12 play multiple roles and do an excellent job in portraying the lives of so many. It's fast paced and makes a wonderful connection with the audience. It covers the horrific events of 9-11 in a most respectful way. Wonderful job done by the orchestra, some perform on stage with the cast. In an attempt not to leave you emotional, the band takes to the stage during the curtain call and plays upbeat traditional music from Gander. http://comefromaway.com/?gclid=CIOj3d2C_tICFQiBswodCRcOVw

I'll be looking forward to your report.

Totally agree. The best new musical I've seen on Broadway this season. Should receive many Tony nominations. I already purchased my ticket to see it again. The lead, Ben Platt, is amazing as Evan Hansen. Excellent actor & singer. Along with a very talented cast. The music & story are mesmerizing.

The soundtrack for Dear Evan Hansen is now available on iTunes. Really good!

Saw this show last night @ the Music Box on 45th St. The best report I can give about any show is that I'd see it again. Dear Evan Hansen is definitely one I'd see again. Coop

A Catholic Priest, a Baptist Preacher and a Rabbi all served as Chaplains in northern Ontario . They would meet frequently to talk shop. The comment was made that preaching to people was fairly easy; a real challenge would be to preach to a bear! They decided to experiment. All 3 would go into the woods, find a bear, preach to it, and attempt to convert it to their religion. 7 days later, the 3 men met. Father Flannery, who had his arm in a sling, was on crutches, and had bandages on his body, began: 'Well,' he said, 'I went to find a bear. When I found him, I read to him from the Catechism. Well, that bear began to slap me around, so I grabbed my holy water, sprinkled him and he became as gentle as a lamb. The Bishop is coming to give him first communion. Reverend Billy Bob spoke next. He was in a wheelchair, & had his arms and legs in casts. He exclaimed, 'Brothers, I went out and I found a bear; then I read to him from The Bible, but that bear wanted nothing to do with me. I took hold of him and we began to wrestle, until we came to a creek. I quickly dunked and baptized him. He became as gentle as a lamb. Hallelujah! The Priest and the Reverend looked down at the Rabbi, lying in a hospital bed. He was in a body cast and traction - IVs and monitors running in and out of him, in really bad shape. The Rabbi looked up and said: "Looking back on it, circumcision may not have been the best way to start."
