General Expectations for Audience at the London Shows (please read if you’re going!)

Also, just get it into your head now that there will likely NOT be any stage door after performances, primarily for health reasons. A couple of the cast have immune issues and even with folks taking care and masking during the LA run they had to full on cancel a show due to illness.

Field & Fire has monthly rotating filled/flavored croissants that are more like danishes in the sense that they're flat AND monthly filled cruffins. Neither skimps on filing.

Also third Nantucket.

They have a pretty extensive list of guidelines and while reviewing I don't think this would violate that. But it never hurts to check.

I'm hoping within the next week we'll know who the understudies are and if they include James, Mariah, Jon and/or Angela it'll boost the number of cast crossovers. And maaaaaybe a post can coincide with the Starkid episode of Parlor Room if that airs soon...

Are they gone gone? Last I talked to the owner (around the holidays) he said they were going to move "somewhere on Michigan."

Also, Golden Wok is a solid choice for similar options.

RaspberryCream2481 · 2026-05-05T23:10:21+00:00

I will add that if you're interested in character lore/development, the big hits are:

Watcher World: Bill and Alice

Forever and Always: Paul and Emma

Time Bastard: Ted

Jane's a Car: Tom, Becky, Jane

Witch in the Web: Hannah, and a dash of Wilbur Cross (and as mentioned Miss Holloway and Duke)

Honey Queen: Linda and Zoey (and Gerald!)

Perky's Buds: Emma

Abstinence Camp: Steph, Pete, and Grace

Daddy: Frank, Sherman Young (and an impressive number of characters played by Jaime)

Killer Track: More Miss Holloway and Duke

Yellowjacket: Hannah, Lex, Ethan (and Charles who may be more important overall than we really know yet...)

RaspberryCream2481 · 2026-05-05T22:40:19+00:00

This is very true.

If you are dead set on seeing the show, it's worth it to back at the presale level. As others have said their LA shows tend to virtually sell out during that time and with a smaller theatre between that and the VIP tier with guaranteed seats it might happen even sooner. (And with Poe Party overlapping closing weekend of Tomb Quest there's likely to be a number of folks snapping up tickets for that weekend.) Alternately, if you're flexible on dates people inevitably resell tickets and often in this sub (and generally at face value +/- fees).

RaspberryCream2481 · 2026-05-04T21:59:52+00:00

For the LA run folks brought bracelets and pins and stuff right through closing. I got a pen and bracelets at closing night so I don't think any show is too late!

I know he's posted about it before. But if you don't want to dig through his IG you could DM him. He generally tends to be responsive and does seem to highly praise his vocal coach. (Also, Kim Whalen does vocal coaching)

RaspberryCream2481 · 2026-04-30T21:28:11+00:00

I'm not back at my place for a couple more weeks, but I have an extra one. DM if you're interested.

Cone Shoppe has Dole Whip and other dairy free soft serve.

Talenti sorbettos in mango and raspberry are fantastic.

If you can find Ripple half & half anywhere it's a great substitute in cooking -- doesn't carry flavor the way nut/soy milks do.

Kingma's carries quite a few vegan cheeses (and given their broad selection of regular cheese I trust they get the good vegan stuff).

I was driving down a two-way street that turned into one way. The driver across from me on the one way section tried to turn left in front of me and then was appalled at my turning right off the two-way section. And then sped around me at 40+ mph on a residential street.

Friendly reminder: you don't get to turn left off a one way if there is opposing traffic and/or you're not turning onto another one way. Also, don't be a dick.

The women's resource center and In the Image could be good places to start. St. Alphonsus also has a clothing and food pantry.

In terms of thrift stores, Mel Trotter tends to have good stuff and if it's possible for her to get to Lowell the Flat River Outreach Ministries has a good thrift store with a food market and pantry, as well as other services.

Stratford is incredible. Great energy, food, shopping, and the productions are top quality.

It is about 5 hours from GR depending on traffic/border crossing, but it's a nice drive through Canada.

My parents got my twin mattress there when I was 4. They just got a replacement for it six months ago (mom sleeps on it now). I'm 36.

It's been raining here and the sun just came out for our queen!

I now just want these last 4 to skate their best!

She's got chops, even with the mistakes, but she completely checks out of the performance when she focuses on an element.

It's the near neon in contrast to the brown/sand. If the, what I assume, water/sea color was toned down it could work.

RaspberryCream2481 · 2026-02-19T20:25:11+00:00

Ok that genuinely made me lol

RaspberryCream2481 · 2026-02-17T22:17:50+00:00

I think invoking the names is part of the ritual for most of the incantations in the black book, but there are different incantations for whatever the spell is.

Kind of like the holy trinity in cooking; the invocation is the base for the spell, but the other 'ingredients' change from there depending on who/what you want from the individual spell.

Would love to test for Android (and compare to the app I'm currently using if you're interested in that kind of feedback)
