I went the other night in hopes of seeing Hugh. He was out, which was a bummer, but Jeremy Stolle was wonderful as The Phantom. I want to give it one more chance and think maybe his last day would be better odds. I know he is having knee issues, so no guarantees, and I don't want him to perform if it is too hard on him. If I were to pick either the mat or the eve, what do you think would give the best odds he will be there?

I am not disabled or in need of them in any way. In my pulse last night, there were people with canes who were struggling on the stairs, and a gentleman in a wheelchair. The butlers were there to help and make sure that the people who struggled with the stairs could get up and down them okay. They were also super attentive to the dude in the wheelchair, making sure he could see and that the way was clear to maneuver him through the crowd. I was shuffled with him during the breaks, and it was really nice to see. The cast also went out of their way to make sure that he had a good time. They were cracking jokes with him during the initial Masquerade scene. It was really nice that they were so inclusive.

My program had the wrong insert since my phantom says Nicholas Edwards, but it definitely wasn’t him who I saw. Hugh was unfortunately out. On August 2nd is he more likely to do the mat or the eve? Dan Hoy was my Raoul and it isn’t him on the insert.

This isn’t like a Broadway show so you don’t just like pull them while the show is running. The pulse timing is very precise. If someone trips and damages their ankle and can’t walk? They have a heart attack? I’m talking about something that isn’t quick to deal with. What is there is a tech issue? Curious.

I had a thought. I’m seeing the show tonight at 7:30 really hoping for Hugh, but know it is 50/50. Anyway, can you imagine a mid-show swap? It’s one of the scenes Erik isn’t in and suddenly he is just a completely different person? No acknowledgment or anything. Just a different actor halfway through the show. It would be interesting.

I have a ticket to see Masquerade tomorrow night. It is going to be really hot, so I have a couple of questions. Will they most likely do the inside or outside version of the graveyard scene? My ticket is for 7:30, so hopefully Hugh Panaro is in. Any word that he isn't? Would it be a problem if I wore a black t-shirt and black shorts? I know you're supposed to be fancy, but my alternative is a suit, and I am heat-intolerant. It wouldn't be great if I felt like I was going to die of heat exhaustion the entire time. Any advice is welcome.

Can we play odds? If Chirstmas Carol Goes Wrong is in LA and the West End concurrently, what are the odds we will get the OLC? I am saying nada. They are being tight-lipped about the casting right now, but I didn't realize they were concurrent. I kind of wonder if they are testing the reception in LA to see how it plays before heading to NYC with the original cast, as Paranormal Activity did. Mind Mangler didn't do well here, and Peter Pan did okay? Too expensive without good odds, especially these days. What do you think?

I’ve never had this before but the 2 skipped Bronx park east. Usually, it skips to Gun Hill after 180th. Weird it went from 180th right to Pelham. Okay going from Pelham to Gun Hill. Odd.

Just to clarify I’m not talking about e-bikes I’m talking about motorcycles, mopeds, and other motorbikes that have plates.

I looked at my Stop and Shop in Bay Plaza, and they don't sell Acme white fish salad or white fish salad at all. They sell Acme lox, which is wonderful. I can get it delivered from Stop and Shop when I order groceries. I tried the Key Foods on White Plains Rd that also sells Acme lox, but no white fish salad. They all sell pickled herring, but that isn't the same thing. Does anyone know of any place in the mid-Bronx, Pelham, Fordham, Morris Park kinda area that might sell it? I don't want to always have to order it or make a trip to Manhattan for it. I would take other brands that are good, but I find that Acme tastes the best.

Any help would be awesome.

I haven't gotten a cold in like 2 years, and boy, did this put me on my ass. It started off like a really bad sore throat, so I tested for COVID, RSV, and the flu. They all came up negative, so it was a head cold. It has been some nasal stuff, which hasn't been too bad- minor congestion and a runny nose. Add in fatigue, dry eyes, and headache. The worst thing is this cough, though, that won't go away. It is sometimes productive, semi-productive, or dry, but it makes me feel like I will hack up a lung. I am coughing constantly. How long before it went away? I am at a week and maybe on the mend? Hard to tell.

I know this isn't Broadway, but we have all been in the mezzanine and balcony at the Broadway/Carnagie Hall/NYCC/The Met Opera/Off-Broadway theaters. Please be cautious and mindful when going up and down the stairs, so this isn't you. Also, don't let this scare you from the upper levels. They are safe, and these kinds of things are rare. Our hearts go out to the poor man who lost his life.

What are the chances this comes to Broadway?

Do you think we will get a Majora's Mask remake for Switch 2 since we are getting Ocarina of Time? They were both remade for the 3DS, and they are just so linked in my mind. It feels like a natural progression in the next couple of years. What do you think? I personally hope we do get it and Twilight Princess.

Sorry, I know this isn't Broadway, but it is adjacent.

I have a chance to get a seat in the Balcony, last row, center, or midway in the Family Circle. I am thinking the Balcony is better since it is closer, but people say the Family Circle is better. I am confused about what to pick. Any advice from people is welcome. We are talking about Row G of the Balcony vs. Row J of the Family Circle.
