coolkid will be making one any second now.

I've known it was coming to Denver since the week the tour was announced. Just didn't know the dates. I hope it plays the Ellie instead of the Buell. But I am sure it will probably be at the Buell.

uncageg, I'm going to be in Denver for that same week, so I will probably go see it there too.

Are those the two main Broadway theatres there?

Check with the individual theatres in your city. If dates are posted, then the contracts with theatres are finalized or close to it. Most of the theatres will be able to tell you, and many are already advertising the show.

It's true that the venue will make the decision as to line or lotto. It has always been this way. For those of you who are worried about huge venues being used, and the show 'disappearing' in a large space, this, also has often been the case with the tour. They almost always play huge venues, 2000+ seats are common. Ticket sales, also, and the date that they're available, will also be determined by the venues.

As for Japan, there have been two tour visits to Japan since the debacle that was the Asian tour. They survived just fine.

The Buell is the main theater. it is Huge. The Ellie used to be the Auditorium theater. They just totally re-did it and it is beautiful. Mermaid played there when it was here last summer. And it is smaller, closer to the size of a Broadway house. The Buell seats around 2,800 and Ellie seats around 2,225. But the Buell was supposed to remove some side seats because of sightline problems. Not sure how many they removed.

edit: We will find out where it is playing when the season is announced. However I will know beforehand. I can actually find out now, I just haven't asked. It will most likely be the Buell based on the dates it is playing.

I'm disappointed, because a 4 hour drive takes more commitment then I wanted to put into this. Yet I still kind of want to go.

Wish I knew who else would be in the cast. That would probably make the decision.

Posted: 4/15/08 at 7:57pm

I am crossing my fingers that there would be no lay over and instead....it would be stopping over in san francisco on may 19 to 24!

Post Japan wouldn't hurt also and hoping for a sit down in sf.

These stops are generally longer than the non-eq dates. They were staying in places for a day or two.

So, that was the Drowsy Chaperone. Oh, I love it so much. I know it's not a perfect show...but it does what a musical is supposed to do. It takes you to another world, and it gives you a little tune to carry with you in your head for when you're feeling blue. Ya know?
