Bobby Spencer to join Alice Ripley in Arena's NORMAL — Page 3

Fromey, you lived here, didn't you? I can tell.

Fromage, "Smelly Sock Alert!"

You are GOOOOD!

Ok, don't really want to weigh in here but I will....

The Pentagon is located in Arlington. BUT the mailing address is a DC one.

On topic? DC theatre is great, but miss pennywise is right. Northern VA is not DC (says KCF, a DCer).

Petite ~ Oh man, I know. When it was first announced and I was looking it up I was all "Oh cool! They have a box office in New York!" Then realized it was not the same thing.

This entire thread has been about "trying to help." With the exception of maybe one poster, everyone has been providing information about N2N, who is actually starring in it and where the theatre is. I know I was doing it because I LOVE this show and want to make sure everyone has as much information as they need to make plans to see it.

However, since DC, Arlington AND Shirlington (lol) are quite a trek for most folks on this board, I think they should be aware that Alice Ripley's association with this production may be changed. (I hope not, but, as we've said, it's happened before.) For me and KCF, it's no big deal. We live nearby and will go to see it whether Alice is in or not, but for New Yorkers (and those who live near New York although not in it (lol again), it may affect their decision to go through the hassle.

KCF, we know about the Pentagon's mailing address. It's just that a MAP was posted showing WHERE the Pentagon is actually located, so Fromage and I were simply responding to that and the way comments were written. I admit that I also just got fed up with the sock puppet and his nasty remarks, which he's been making in other threads too. I try to avoid that kind of confrontation; it isn't worth my time. But once in a while, it can be invigorating!

Happy Saturday!!!

So, is this being done in the round then? Wouldn't that hurt their chances of transferring to Broadway because they'd have to change a lot of design elements? Also, why is it their "temporary" home?

Ah, miss pennywise, gotcha on the P-gon. I didn't bother to look at the map that was posted.

And no, the temporary Arena quarters are not in the round. There is one big long narrow orchestra section in the Crystal City venue. If you are short, beware there is most definitely not stadium style seating. Not sure about the Lincoln Theatre venue. They didn't use it last season and I have not been there yet.

Which is why I'm holding off on buying anything. Much as I love the show in general, without her it is dead to me. I cannot and do not want to imagine anyone else in the role. Sorry.
