Just found out I'm going Saturday night for sure!
I know a big group of BWWers is going Sunday.
Sorry I'll miss you but so excited to see Patti again and so soon after Sweeney!

We are so disorganized this Summer, we do not have tickets yet. We are looking at Friday or Saturday!

I do not want to miss Patti!

When I last checked, there were a handful of tickets available for Saturday.

See you there, Glebby! I'll be there Saturday and Sunday.

My prediction: Musical-theater history will be made.

I saw Jane Blass on the Hairspray tour. She was wonderful.

Wish I could see this production of Gypsy.

Sondheim is supposed to be speaking before one of the shows. I believe free tickets are available for that if you're going to the show. It's either Friday or Saturday night at 6-ish.

It's Friday, darnit--the only night I'm NOT going.

More detailed info:

Mr. Stephen Sondheim himself will make a special appearance the night in a pre-concert discussion with Ravinia President and CEO Welz Kauffman at 6:45 p.m. on Friday, August 11, 2006 in the Martin Theatre.

Free tickets to the Friday talk will be available to those
attending the Friday evening performance of "Gypsy" on a first-come, first-served basis. The talk will be broadcast to the lawn. For ticket information, visit http://www.Ravinia.org.

I'll be there Friday for Mr. Sondheim and the show. Can't wait!

I'm more upset about missing Margo than Sondheim.

[Kringas]

Posted: 8/8/06 at 1:00pm

I'll be there Sunday as well.

Ill be there on Friday for Mr. Sondheim...if it doesnt rain because I plan on getting lawn tickets.

I'll be there on Friday and Saturday and I could not be more excited!

[jam_man]

I'll be there Sunday. I wish I could have gotten tickets Friday to se Mr. Sondheim, but at the time I was only available Sunday since I have All-State rehearsals all weekend, I thought till 9 on Friday and Saturday (they may still be).


EDIT: My mother kept trying to explain who Patti was to my grandparents, who are going with us, and she couldn't think of the TV show she was on that they might know her from. What was it (was there one)?
