Nothing planned yet - you can get the Donmar production recording though, which is pretty similar.

Ok...the 2008-2009 season was 9 to 5, Spring Awakening, Minsky's (last musical of that season, closed 3/1/09) then Frost/Nixon. The 2009-2010 season has been Spamalot (last musical at the Ahmanson), then August Osage County. Hope that helps! :)

Center Theatre Group Did anyone see Next Stop Amazingland last night?? Visit the Kirk Douglas Theatre discussion board and share your thoughts!

Karen Loney Nightingale Saw Parade. . . twice. The most brilliant musical I've seen. Jason Robert Brown's score is stunning and the cast brings the characters to life in a way I've never seen. Truly amazing. Bought $20 Hot Tix each time. (With a family of 4, I LOVE Hot Tix!)

Hot Tix is our $20 ticket program! Three weeks before a show opens we release a bunch of HotTix that you can buy over the phone (213.628.2772) then on the day of the show we release more which you can buy in person at the box office. Find more info on our website. And thanks for your thoughts Karen! We're so glad you liked the show enough to see it twice!!

As for Hot Tix, the seats can be "partial view", but with the Mark Taper Forum being so small, I wasn't (too) worried. We ending up in the 3rd row on the end. There were moments when we couldn't see an actor's face, but the production was so well staged that it was only a moment here and there.

Hi Christa! We haven't quite figured out if we'll have the room to do a standby line for the Mary Poppins opening yet. But if we do we'll certainly let everyone on facebook know about it - so stay tuned! And thanks for your support!

Center Theatre Group Still some $20 Parade tix left for tonight!

Based on the true story of Leo Frank, convicted for the murder of 13-year-old Mary Phagan in Atlanta, Georgia, in 1913, Parade recounts the press frenzy and public outrage about Frank’s trial, and his wife’s crusade for justice.

Center Theatre Group Here's a great Op-Ed piece on Leo Frank from today's LA Times. If you haven't seen Parade yet you can get $20 tix for tonight's show, use code FACEBOOK.

On Aug. 17, 1915, Leo Frank, a Cornell-educated Jewish industrialist, was lynched just outside Atlanta. The atrocity marked the culmination of an ugly conflict that began with the 1913 murder of a child laborer named Mary Phagan, who toiled for pennies an hour in Atlanta's National Pencil Factory. ....

Great article, and a FANTASTIC show. Btw, anyone interested in the case should read the book "The Leo Frank Case" by Leonard Dinnerstein. I just started reading it, and it goes into a lot of facts that aren't in the show that make me even more outraged about this case.
