Actually none.

I hacked into telecharge and when anyone buys a ticket to SPRING AWAKENING...they'll get one for GREY GARDENS.

As it should be.

Spring Awakening, like Avenue Q, deserves all the awards it's winning.

I will reserve judgement on "SA" until I see it next week, but "AQ" is brilliant..... I am thinking that "SA" is not.

Technicially...none. Broadway is dark on Mondays. :) But TUESDAY is another story...

I think the choreography was well woven into the design of the show and listening to Bill Jones going into some of his ideas and visions behind their movements gave me hope that the committee made the right choice. It fit the style of the show and helped unify the piece as well as making it thoroughly exciting.

Book, Lyrics, Direction, and Musical on the other hand

bwayfan4,

Actually, all of Broadway is NOT dark on Mondays. There are some shows which perform on Mondays, and SA is one of them! In any case, I imagine that the OP meant in advance ticket sales so dark or not, that isn't affected.

$1.49

Not only does Spring Awakening play on Mondays, but people can call or go on to Telecharge to buy tickets. It's the advance sale that shoots up the day after the Tonys.

I dont know if it will have a huge increase. 1. The people watch that the TONYS have probably already seen it. 2. The people dont watch the TONYS every year but did this year-lets say an out of town family going on vacation will probably pick Mary Poppins or Legally Blonde of SA. I mean-i doubt they want sex and cussing promoted to their kids.

The more important question (to me anyway) is how impossible is rush going to be now? I have not had a chance to see SA yet, and I'm getting the feeling I'll have to get there at 6am to get a rush ticket now, especially since I can only go on the weekend. Oy.

ucjr ~ Your point number 2 is excellent. And I have to wonder how many may not have gotten the extent of what the musical is about and contains and will end up getting tickets, then walking out and demanding refunds. Yet another reason they should have done ONE song as it is in the show and not a mash up of sanitized versions.

And I will stand at the BO as they're denied refunds and LAUGH! Do you research or don't complain. Plus, if anyone's offended, that's their problem. The sign in the BO says it's for over 16!

I'm also wondering about the rush lines! I'll be back in NYC at the end of June and want to see it a few more times, but I was already getting there early, so now it's going to be nuts I'm sure. Any feedback from anyone who rushed this morning?

Ah but telecharge says 13. Yes it has a disclaimer, but it makes it sound about as mild as a PG-13 movie, which it really isn't.
