Hmm well the number is for TicketCentral, but the event isn't listed on their website.

Where did you get the info for the other event?

Yeah, sorry for the confusion. I thought there was another event on the 12th but there isn't... it was an article from 2005. Thanks for catching that Ashley.

The one on the 17th (that is actually happening) sounds great!

I couldn't find the tickets online so I just called. The lady I talked to didn't know much about it but ended up getting me a ticket, haha, it just took a little while.

Yeah, I ended up calling. As far as I know the only differences in tickets are seat locations and nothing with like "special pre-concert cocktail reception" or anything like that that they sometimes have at fundraisers

No, there is going to be a pre-show reception where the whole cast will be mingling with the VIP ticket holders, aka the $100 seats. I think Jesse said it was going to be at this place right across the street. But there is definitely going to be a pre-show event. Im sure information will be released soon.

Oh cool. Ticket Central didn't know anything about it (other then it was in their system) when I called yesterday, so I'm not that surprised that that info got left out. I'm really glad I got the $100 tickets now!

I was able to go by and buy a ticket for $15, no mention of toys or anything... And my seat is definitely more of the $100 kind, not the rear mezz $15 kind.

No idea what's going on with this event.

All of the info is now up on ticket central. There were only a few $100 tix, because of the small reception space, and limited $40 seats. The rest are $15 with the toy.

FYI - Everyone with a $15 MUST come with an unwrapped toy according to the woman I just spoke with at the box office.

Stephanie J. Block and Gaelen Gilliland/Becky Gulsvig were the two highlight numbers for me- I seriously got chills listening to them both.

Sorry, that's all I got right now...someone who is better at this than I will hopefully be along shortly to do a full writeup of who all performed what. :)

All I have to say is that it was a GREAT beenfit. The Broadway Boys are fantastic! And highlights for me were the cast of Mamma Mia, Antonique Smith (who performed an incredible rendition of "O Holy Night"), Lisa Brescia, and then I was pleasantly surprised by Becky and Gaelen from Legally Blonde. Really though, there wasn't a dull moment and everyone who was there was fantastic.
