Philly was a no brainer – it’s seems known for its ‘Oldies’ consciousness. Not that there’s any city which doesn’t love JB. (Btw, I’ve gotten tired of sending the ‘record-breaking’ links to my niece who had tickets recently.) I hope the show returns and stays a lot longer. Get the value out of all the regional exposure and draw in those who refuse to go into NYC, plus those who enjoy seeing different casts.
