I attended The Visit CD signing today. It was a short event but wonderful to be in a room full of so much love and thrilling to speak briefly to Chita Rivera and John Kander. Also, you'll see down below that I've added a new heading to the TNR for tickets and rush. I've been thinking of doing something like this for a while because it's a shame that ticket info has been buried at the end of the TNR's in the past.
