This stinks, I missed the live chat (thank goodness for this posting), and my mom won’t let me go to NY to see this, I hope that it continues and they perform it in a place closer to where I live.

This was priceless. ^_^ And I was at that show at the Papermill when the Governor’s moustache was falling off — even those of us up in the mezzanine were dying once we figured out what was going on. I’m not gonna lie, it was one of my favorite memories of that production. ^_^ Thank you for posting this for those of us to couldn’t make it to the live chat and I can’t wait to see you all on Broadway!! 😀
