The Official Adam Pascal Love Thread, part three — Page 585

UGH!

I just had my worst experience EVER as an audience member. It was just horrible and it had nothing to do with the show, but it seriously just kind of screwed up the whole experience for my sister and me.

You guys are so pretty. I'd post a picture if I had any that made me look even remotely pretty.

Em, I stare at Raul (and Adam too) for a few seconds in your facebook pictures when I actually venture onto that site.

What happened, skittles?

---

Aww, everyone is so pretty.
Model Prisoner has actually been one that I've always liked. I don't think there's a song that I don't like. It has taken me some time to warm up to some of them, but generally I like them all. I also like that none of his songs sound the same.

I just got back from seeing Wicked in DC. I was "chaperoning" my sister's orchestra field trip, so we were in the Second Tier (like the orchestra was 3 stories below us). We got there and were going to our seats, but there were already some other people sitting there. So the one girl pointed to where they were supposed to sit and we were just like "Whatever, we'll sit there." But that wasn't where she was supposed to be sitting, because the people with those seats came along after a few minutes. Finally an usher appeared (we tried looking for them the first time but couldn't find any) and told us to go around to the other aisle to get to our seats. So we did.

We told the usher where we were sitting and she went to show us to our seats. One girl moved back to where she was supposed to sit, but the other girl REFUSED to move to her actual seat. So the woman came back out and told us to wait at the front of the balconey in the aisle while she figures this out. Meanwhile, the show is starting and other people are trying to get around us to their seats at the last minute. One woman complained that it was really distracting and finally the usher told us to stay right where we were while she went to get her manager.

So the show is starting, we get through No One Mourns the Wicked and I glance around to see that the usher has disappeared completely, and shut the door behind her. We stood there for like 5 minutes waiting and she never came back. Finally during Dear Old Shiz, another usher from the opposite side of the balconey comes to seat people and my sister explained to him what happened. He goes over and demands that the girl get out of our seats and finally we sit down during The Wizard and I.

It turns out that the other girl was really only sitting in the row behind us, but she just REALLY wanted to sit with her friends and her boyfriend.

WTF!?!

Eek! That just sounds... unorganized. Wow, some people.

---

On another note, being up that high makes me scared out of my pants!

Oy. I once went to a concert where someone in the row behind me asked me if I would switch seats so she could sit next to her friend, and it really pissed me off - I can only imagine how furious I would have been if I were in a situation like the one you described. If she wanted to sit with her friends, they should have bought their tickets all together. It's not your problem.

"On another note, being up that high makes me scared out of my pants! "

Heh. I went to the Met to see La Boheme back in November, and my school group was seated at the very very top - not a pleasant feeling. When you need an elevator to get to your seats, and there are about 4 stops before yours, it's not a good thing.

I get really dizzy up that high. Can't do it.

Yeah, it was good. It was my first time seeing Stephanie and she's now my second favorite Elphaba (after Idina...yeah) and last week I saw the Boq understudy and I liked the main tour Boq better than his understudy, but Robb is still waaaay better in my *completely unbiased* opinion

The ushers were unorganized and some people just have no class. These are $65 seats, it's not a movie theater.

And my sister is scared of heights, so she was GRIPPIING the handrail for dear life. I may be an orchestra snob, but sometimes better tickets are necessary!

---

Yeah, my roommate and I tend to avoid them. At the beginning of the year, we'd often see the guy standing at the corner at the front (our door is the only door at the front). He wasn't doing anything, just standing there.

I think I'm going to call it a night. Good night, everyone!

Gnite BG!
