OhmyGod I need to go to this. I'm laughing really hard right now.
Who wants to help me with the lottery?

Paging Miss Liotte. BWW to Liotte, come in Liotte. :)
It sounds fun! I'd actually try and go myself if I wasn't, you know, all the way on the other side of the country.

Posted: 3/12/07 at 4:01pmAssuming they have a lottery since they usually do for their special shows, what time would it be for a 7:30 curtain? I think Spelling Bee is the show that has odd lotto times, no?
I recognize the addiction to being alive.

Posted: 3/12/07 at 4:55pmThe lotto is an hour and a half before curtain; 30 minutes after Wicked's.

There is no Sunday night Wicked show, but yes lotto is 1.5 hr before curtain, so Bee would pull at 6pm for a 7:30 curtain.
eta: who is going to be the fourth speller? Seems random to have 3 celebs and one audience member, which is what it sounds like it will be.

Posted: 3/12/07 at 5:06pmI hope for their 4th star they choose Celia Keenan-Bolger. That would be a wonderful little reunion.

Posted: 3/12/07 at 5:27pmOh I'm gonna try to go to this! Last time I tried the lottery I didn't win but I bought a student rush seat instead. I hope that's still available.

If anyone wants to help me with the lotto, I'll give you a cookie.
Well, probably not, but you'll get to enjoy the pleasure of my company while waiting out in the cold!

Posted: 3/13/07 at 1:02pmI'm going to try REALLY hard to make it in for the lotto! If not, I'm hoping for student or standing room!

Posted: 3/13/07 at 8:56pmCompany doesn't have a Sunday night show, nor I assume does Grey Gardens. They have matinees on Sunday, so this won't conflict with them performing in their shows. Stokes isn't in anything currently.

Nothing, since there are no Sunday evening performances for those shows :)
I'm gonna be there. They should make Raul spell "swishy"...

Posted: 3/15/07 at 6:31pmOy! I wonder how wacky people are going to try and be now so they can be the guest speller.
