| Did you sign up for Reprise 2.0 in 2018? We did, and thought the initial offering, SWEET CHARITY with Laura Bell Bundy, was terrific. Then their plans for VICTOR/VICTORIA fell through, and they substituted AND THE WORLD GOES ROUND. Nice, but nothing much. The third was supposed to GRAND HOTEL….and Reprise 2.0 evaporated without a trace. I’m still owed for three tickets for that one. I’m grateful for the opportunity to have seen so many Reprise shows (all but the first one, I think), and that my kids got to share the experience with me. Laura in LA |

| No I didn't subscribe--I cherry-picked and saw a bunch for free, too. I can't believe the producers were able to get away with not refunding to subscribers. I'm not sure that is legal. It was a great opportunity to catch up on some shows I hadn't seen live; Boys from Syracuse was a favorite; Call Me Madam with magnificent Karen Morrow; On the 20th Century; Kismet; Mack and Mabel; Pippin; and No Strings--were all a joy.

| CALL ME MADAM was a delight. But I think the most moving one was 1776, with Roger Rees as John Adams, just after 9/11. The entire cast came out into the courtyard by the Freud Theatre, collecting for the Red Cross. Rees gave my middle daughter a kiss on the cheek when she handed him our donation. The Reprise! FOLLIES was also incredible, with Harry Groener one of the best Buddys I’ve ever seen. They performed that one at the Wadsworth, not the Freud, but I hear they tried to book it into the Shubert before it was demolished. That would have been so utterly fitting, not just because of the show’s plot, but for theatrical symmetry: the very first show in the LA Shubert was the national tour of the original FOLLIES.
