How did you address it to Gavin?

My coworker obtained tickets to Hello Dolly, but he hates musical theatre so I got 'em!! But, what is this show about? Why is it so critically-acclaimed? Is the original cast still with it? And is it kid-friendly?

(I've been living under a rock...)

I believe you're correct, 2005 was an extremely suspenseful season.

I walked into DEH and asked for a playbill, they didn't have a problem with it. THe most polite time to do so I think would be after the show has started (Preferably just after it ends) I have had people ask me to wait and ask at intermission so they know they have enough for everyone."

Okay, wow

I'm pretty sure they used to give them out, but stopped because people would come into the theatre saying that they lost their tickets and show the playbill as "proof", but I'm not quite sure...

Is there any way to get playbills without actually seeing the show? Can you mail a letter asking or can you just get one at the box office? (This applies to Broadway productions)
