No. Back row balcony is $20, you can buy it in advance. For rush, have a valid student ID, blah blah blah, two tickets per ID, $26 each - subject to availability. So, you can end up with amazing seats, especially if you're alone or willing to split up from your cohort. They start selling them at 5... box office said there haven't been lines or anything.

I love what I turned this thread into!

Crossing my fingers and toes for a featured actor nomination for Michael Benjamin Washington.

Ahh, I had the two types mixed up. Hmmm I wonder if I should rush Chitty tonight...
Yep, threadjack city.
Albin, do you think he is likely, I thought he was funny but I have heard no buzz about him at all?

[luvtheEmcee]

(only Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays for rush... and they don't perform Mondays.)

He was in Mamma Mia! before La Cage, right Albin?

Is it Monday? On my, I thought it was Tuesday! That is no good at all.

Hehe, yeah I have to convince my companion to get up that early, or stay out all night! hehe. We'll their around 7 I suspect, or 730. Where exactly do you stand EM?

You'll see people (and someone directing the herd) in Shubert Alley. As the crowd gets bigger, you'll get redirected to the block adjacent to the theatre.

NO I mean, where do you stand once you buy your SRO ticket? Just smack in the middle of the aisle, in the back, something to lean against?

[luvtheEmcee]

Posted: 5/9/05 at 12:15pm

Back of the orchestra, and yeah, there's a wall thingy to lean on.

Cool thanks Em. I have mega bad eyesight so I hope I can see okay. I bought the Spamalot Cast Recording and need to see Sara Ramirez in person! But I could get a kidney quicker than a Spamalot ticket for 5 days from now.

And I am, forever, going to call it the "wall thingy".

yaaaay, it sticks!! You can see pretty well. It's a "wall thingy" because it's sort of a wall, but not. It's in front of you... more like a.... partition!

[smartpenguin78]

You can see Sara really well, all the ticks and exagerated movements are excellent from the back of the theatre (and my eyesite is not the greatest either) the "wall thingy" is a must if standing I'd assume.

I'm so excited,
And I just can't hide it.
I'm about to lose control,
and I think I like it!

[BobbyBubby]

Posted: 5/9/05 at 12:28pm

It's a wall thingy from now on, period. hehe.

Yay for all the Blindies!!! I am so almost blind it's not even funny.

Why did I mistakenly think it was gonna be broadcast live on TV? ::pouts:: Oh well, I assume the webcast takes place at tonys.org? Maybe I'll get up at 8:15, 8:20ish, to watch. Then I'll probably go back to sleep for more hours.

Oh and Em, while I agree ASU certainly deserves a nomination for orchestrations, I firmly believe that Piazza will and deserves to win, the orchestrations were such an unnoticed yet very important part, and simply fantastic.

The webcast is supposed to be on

i hope good vibrations get some tony nominations.

[smartpenguin78]

Posted: 5/9/05 at 2:08pm

That fixes me up, sorry non-NYC'ers though.
Good Vibrations? well they might pick up something.
