[@shawnag84]

So, did they close the show down for a while when they replaced seats, etc.?

[@hannahdebs4616]

You didn't answer my most important question - did the sofa move to the new dressing room, otherwise where would you nap :o

[@ellaa499]

This is truly the most important question

[@kamronobrien1961]

Is anyone else watching in 2020

[@Green1Chaos]

Does anyone know the name of the video that Lindsay Mendez did for the dedication song from this video?

[@katherinehenig1702]

No, i wanna find it too!

[@dancer2989]

Search 'mika popular song wicked cast' and it's the first video. You wanted the actual video that the cast did right?
