Anyone have plans to see a B'way show over winter recess?

'Cause I do. I plan to see Chita Rivera: The Dancer's Life next Wednesday matinee while my mother and brother see Spelling Bee. What about you?

Well I want to get up to NY sometime over the break, but I think the only sensible way for a student paying their way through college, is taking a bus and doing the TKTS thing, so we'll see what happens. If I do get to NY I would love to see Women in White, or DRS again. Actually there are so many shows that I wouldn't mind seeing.

I want do do the Rent lotto, Spelling Bee lotto, and I somehow want to go about getting tickets to Barefoot in the Park, but I'm not sure how exactly.

I'm seeing The Light in the Piazza on December 30 (graduation present from the mother of one of my oldest friends) and Spamalot on January 12 (extra ticket present from my boyfriend and his family). My parents actually just recently moved to New Jersey about thirty minutes outside the city, so I'm now thrilled to have these chances. ^_^

Well if you're referring to winter recess as the week between Christmas and New year's nothing, though I am seeing the Wicked tour in DC. But my winter recess lasts through the entire month of January...I'd imagine I'd see...about 8 shows...maybe 10. Already have tickets to 3 DRSes, second row on the 8th, Lithgow's last on the 15th, and front row mezz on the 31st, though my break is over by then. Planning to take one of my best friends and my sister to Avenue Q, my mom and Aunt to Jewtopia and Chita, see Color Purple and Jersey Boys for first time, maybe try Hairspray lotto...maybe try to see Will Chase in Rent. Something like that.

I've got a full slate when I'm in NYC this coming long holiday weekend:

Thursday: Touch of the Poet
Friday matinee: Seascape
Friday night: Chita
Sat. matinee: An American Tragedy (new opera at the Met)
Sat. evening: Light in the Piazza (i've seen it before, but hardly anything shows Xmas Eve except Jewtopia, and I did that LAST Xmas Eve)
Monday matinee: Color Purple
Monday evening: Sweeney Todd (please get better, Patti!)

I might drop some hints or flat out beg b/c I rarely get to go to NY and even rarer still see a show... but perhaps I can guise it to be a trip to visit NYU which my mother and I have been planning to do...
Am I cut out to spend my time this way?

DRS this friday, on Jan 8th (thanks John lol) and Jan 15th

I also plan to catch either DRS or Wicked after the new cast memebers take over to see how they do.

i might, i'm going down on the 28th, and i want to take my friend to see a show, and we aren't going to buy tickets in advance, because if there is a strike, we aren't going to go. so, does anyone know of any shows that might not be too crowded, that we might be able to buy tickets at the box office for
oy with the poodles already!

I had to tell him, 'No, no, darling. Opening nights don't usually look like this.' It's usually a dark bar with a bottle of vodka." ?Chitty Chitty Bang Bang's Jan Maxwell plus i proudly share the title of the shortest member over the age of 10 with wickedrentq!
