Well I want to get up to NY sometime over the break, but I think the only sensible way for a student paying their way through college, is taking a bus and doing the TKTS thing, so we'll see what happens. If I do get to NY I would love to see Women in White, or DRS again. Actually there are so many shows that I wouldn't mind seeing.

Finally, I'll be seeing Light in the Piazza on Thursday. I'll probably go down to the city some time in January and take my chances with lottos or TKTS.
i'll be seeing Piazza, Spamalot and a show at the MET

I'm seeing The Light in the Piazza on December 30 (graduation present from the mother of one of my oldest friends) and Spamalot on January 12 (extra ticket present from my boyfriend and his family). My parents actually just recently moved to New Jersey about thirty minutes outside the city, so I'm now thrilled to have these chances. ^_^
Well if you're referring to winter recess as the week between Christmas and New year's nothing, though I am seeing the Wicked tour in DC. But my winter recess lasts through the entire month of January...I'd imagine I'd see...about 8 shows...maybe 10. Already have tickets to 3 DRSes, second row on the 8th, Lithgow's last on the 15th, and front row mezz on the 31st, though my break is over by then. Planning to take one of my best friends and my sister to Avenue Q, my mom and Aunt to Jewtopia and Chita, see Color Purple and Jersey Boys for first time, maybe try Hairspray lotto...maybe try to see Will Chase in Rent. Something like that.

I've got a full slate when I'm in NYC this coming long holiday weekend:
Thursday: Touch of the Poet Friday matinee: Seascape Friday night: Chita Sat. matinee: An American Tragedy (new opera at the Met) Sat. evening: Light in the Piazza (i've seen it before, but hardly anything shows Xmas Eve except Jewtopia, and I did that LAST Xmas Eve) Monday matinee: Color Purple Monday evening: Sweeney Todd (please get better, Patti!)

nothing definate planned yet, but I know I'll see Rent a few times, trying to see Sweet Charity, and I'm determined to see Chita. I might even throw a Chitty in there...depends on how much $ I get for Christmas! lol
I might drop some hints or flat out beg b/c I rarely get to go to NY and even rarer still see a show... but perhaps I can guise it to be a trip to visit NYU which my mother and I have been planning to do...
i might, i'm going down on the 28th, and i want to take my friend to see a show, and we aren't going to buy tickets in advance, because if there is a strike, we aren't going to go. so, does anyone know of any shows that might not be too crowded, that we might be able to buy tickets at the box office for
I'm planning on going down on the 28th for a doubleheader. may try Q and DRS lotteries. If that doesn't work, maybe Sweet Charity or Woman in White. idk whether I'll see Sweeney. Depends.
i am seeing bee on the 7th i believe. And i plan on going to the final performance of chitty. Maybe see rent as well. WOuld love to see will chase. Hopefully more since my break lasts through the 18th.
"At the opening night party, they had clowns on stilts, jugglers, a chocolate fountain, popcorn, hot dogs. [My son] looked at me like I had been holding back. Like, 'This is what you do?' I had to tell him, 'No, no, darling. Opening nights don't usually look like this.' It's usually a dark bar with a bottle of vodka." ?Chitty Chitty Bang Bang's Jan Maxwell

Definitely seeing RENT with my mom on the 14th, trying to see DRS, Altar Boyz, and Dog Sees God as well.
