Also, I believe they had a matinee lottery today!

I arrived at 6:20, and my theory is that the earlier you get in line to pick the tickets up, the better the seats are (the last two times I waited until 10 minutes before showtime rather than 30 minutes and had seats further back in the orchestra)."

Having won it three times (and lost more than that), they always look through a stack of envelopes for my name when I hand them my ID, and pull one when they find it, so I don't think it's random based on when you are in line. Perhaps the system they use for "drawing" the names puts them in order and they just go by that?

FWIW, I've been in the back side of house left (fine view - solo), dead center in Orchestra T (perfect view - with a friend), and most recently Row B9 (amazing - solo).

As to the "no lottery for matinees" (I know, not the post I quoted, but hey), there certainly has been a lottery for Saturday and Sunday matinees when I've tried. And I just looked out of curiosity and there is one for tomorrow. The matinee ones start and close earlier - tomorrow's starts at 8am (not sure when it closes...probably 11 or something).

Hmmm. I've tried to go for Sat and Sun matinees, but they weren't having them. Interesting.

I know they had one this past Sunday (the 17th) because I entered and lost. And I've entered on other Sundays as well.

And when I was entering for a Saturday evening, there was one for Saturday matinee also (I had my TKD belt test that day - so I know that was June 4 - so matinee wasn't an option.

And there is definitely one listed for today that opens at 8am. I'm looking at it now (not entering as I have a ticket for it as it is my birthday show).

Has anyone seen Ektor as Emilio? How was his performance?

I saw Ektor, but I don't have anyone to compare him to. He seemed fine to me, though maybe a bit wooden in his acting at times. But I'm not sure if he was really wooden or if the character is supposed to be kind of stoic. He handled the emotional and angry scenes well, and he sang it well. 

In case anyone is interested, I won the lottery last week and sat up in the front-ish mezz. Though I moved to the front row of the orchestra at intermission. There were a lot of empty seats throughout the house, especially for a Saturday night. 

I enjoyed the show more than I thought I would, having disliked shows like Beautiful and Jersey Boys. It even made me cry toward the end.

So, basically any time I want to enter a matinee, there isn't a lottery. Haha. Story of my life. 

 

P.S. I finally won last week. #17thTimesTheCharm

I really like Ektor's take on the role. I feel like he is definitely stronger vocally than Josh, and I think he and Ana ultimately work better together chemistry-wise.

So me and my two friends all entered today, and all three of us won. I'm wondering if they are giving more lottery seats because of the low grosses.

I won last night. First time I tried it. Was in Row E right side of the orchestra.

I won last night too. Far left, row F. Very good seats. Andrea wasn't on though.  

it was better than I thought it would be. I think there were a lot of lottery winners. Maybe they are giving out more lottery tickets now.

I won last night, got Orchestra Row G, seat 3. Fantastic seat! I even got pulled into the aisle to dance during "Conga" right before intermission. It was slightly mortifying, and even more so when I found out Gloria Estefan was there last night and probably saw it.
