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!

I saw Jane Blass on the Hairspray tour. She was wonderful.
Wish I could see this production of Gypsy.

Posted: 8/8/06 at 11:30amSondheim 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.

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)?
