Flash seats...

Anyone else getting anxious and paranoid over Flash Seats??? My BTS tickets still haven't shown up yet. I know there's still quite a while til the concert but I am going to be so pissed if it gets down to the wire and they still aren't there.

I have spent way too much on these tickets and this concert in general to be screwed over by Flash Seats and Axs.

If anybody gets their tickets soon please let me know.

Interview with Janine DiVita of ‘If/Then’: Trusting the universe

By Allen Foster, AXS.com [June 19, 2016]

“I’m very much an A + B = C person, and that’s not how this business works,” Janine DiVita told AXS.

Janine is the stunning, multi-talented star who plays Anne in the critically acclaimed “If/Then,” an intriguing tale of possibilities that was written by the Pulitzer Prize and Tony Award-winning creators of “Next to Normal,” Brian Yorkey and Tom Kitt. The show opens at Philadelphia’s Academy of Music on Tuesday, June 21 at 7:30 p.m.

“It’s taken me a long time to just trust that if a role was meant to be yours, the role will be yours,” Janine continued. “Fortunately, every night on this show, I am able to meditate on trusting the universe because that’s what ‘If/Then’ is about. The lyrics are so profound that I am impacted by the show on a very personal level.”

Being such a huge fan of Tom Kitt, Brian Yorkey, and Michael Greif’s work, back in 2014, Janine went to the original Broadway auditions to be Idina Menzel’s standby. When she didn’t get the part, she was deeply disappointed. However, because she didn’t get the part, it was possible for her to pursue other endeavors. Janine had the opportunity to do a workshop with Michael Greif, travel the world performing as a vocalist, and over that two year period was when she met her fiancé.

“When the tour opportunity came along, Jenn Colella [who played Anne on Broadway] decided she was not going on the tour, so I got a call to see if I’d be interested in auditioning once again, this time, for the role of Anne,” Janine recalled. “It didn’t work out the first time, but I feel like that’s the way it was supposed to happen for me. And that’s indicative of what our show is about, it’s about chance, choice, destiny and things happening the way that they’re supposed to. Throughout this whole process, there’s evidence for me that I should really just trust the universe and trust my own journey because it will all work out the way that it should.”

“This show is very special,” she enthused. “It’s about the human experience. ‘If/Then’ impacts the audience in a certain way, but it also impacts the actors. I can bring my day with me on stage and use that. This role is a gift.”

“You do have to stay within the confines of the scene, you can’t go off script,” she quickly added. “But in terms of your motivations and your feelings and your emotions, it’s all tied into it. Acting from a place of truth is the only way to do it, so you bring your experiences and your heartbreaks and your joys and all of those things to the stage with you. I think that’s what makes an honest performance.”

Unlike some actors who only use social media sparingly, Janine told AXS that it was a vital element in her career.

“‘If/Then’ is really about the connectivity of all of our lives, so I do feel a responsibility to be open about my life and to be positive and to share and promote positivity. Theater is different from every other form of art. It’s live and the audience is in the moment with you, they are not just watching something on a screen, they are really part of the experience. That’s why I try to be open on social media, to share things with the fans I meet. It’s part of the overall experience.”

Besides being an accomplished actor on both stage and screen [she has played opposite Dustin Hoffman], Janine is a remarkable vocalist who is currently working on an album. Additionally, she is an advocate for social change. Her company, Empowered-Voices, utilizes the performing arts to offer prevention education. “I’ve worked extensively with the military on sexual harassment prevention and sexual assault prevention. I’m also doing anti-bullying and substance abuse prevention programs. I want to teach people who are non-actors the skills that actors employ so they can utilize the techniques to facilitate a positive change in their own lives.”

In closing, AXS asked Janine, “What makes this particular cast of ‘If/Then’ so unique?”

“This cast brings a freshness and an optimism to the show,” she replied. “I can’t tell you what you should walk away from it with because it’s going to be a different experience for each person who sees it, but what I love about the show is that it is very real, it’s funny, and it makes you think about your life.”
