Ok, so as I've said, I bought my Spamalot tickets. Anyone who's been to the Shubert, are these seats worth the price? This is for two tickets:

Spamalot
Shubert Theatre
07/20/05 at 2:00 PM
2 Tickets, Right Balcony Row D seats 6-8
Total Cost: $147.00

How are these seats? They were just about the only ones I could find, this show is like completely sold out well into Sept.

Oh yes, does anyone know if Tim, Hank, and David will still be around for this show? Updated On: 4/6/05 at 11:28 PM

It's a small theatre so as far as I know any seat is good. I've sat in the last row of orchestra and the last row of balcony in the shubert and it was closer then mezzanine or supposedly better seats in other theatres.

Okay thanks.

Anyone know the answer to the other question?

Hank will be gone from the show for most of the summer...

Posted: 4/7/05 at 1:33am

Hmm, that sucks. I hope the rumors of getting Robin Williams are true.

[Thesbijean]

Posted: 4/7/05 at 1:34am

They are not true...

You consider the Shubert a "small" theatre?

[CJR]

Posted: 4/7/05 at 1:37am

The Shubert's a small theatre? You're kidding me, right? It's one of the largest broadway houses. Where are you getting your information?

As for the seats, take em. That's probably the best you're gonna get for a good long while. Rumors of Robin Williams filling in for Hank are false.

[JudasIscariot]

Posted: 4/7/05 at 1:39am

Dang, any idea of who is filling in for Hank?

[CJR]

Posted: 4/7/05 at 1:39am

No clue... I can see if I can find out though.

Thanks a million, I hope they don't get some shmuck.

By the way, we are talking about the NYC Shubert.

Does anyone have pics of it on the inside/outside?

[CJR]

Posted: 4/7/05 at 12:32pm

Yes, Im well aware that we're talking about the Shubert in NYC. It's one of the largest broadway houses capacity wise. I have pictures of the inside somewhere, but I really can't share them because by rights, you're not allowed to have them.... The ones from inside that I CAN share won't help you see it's size because they were taken on the sets of Chicago and Gypsy; therefore not facing the audience.

You can find pictures of the outside if you google it, or just look at the Spamalot Opening Night photos here on BWW -- there's an outside shot of the theatre.

$147 for both seats? Not bad at all. We paid $36 per ticket when we saw the show in previews back in February...and those were in the balcony as well. I suppose the ticket prices went up after the show officially opened. I don't know how that works. Anyway...I thought they were great seats!

It's the front of the balcony, so it should be ok. The last two rows are awful, however. Because of the angle, the top half of the stage is not visible. The same happens in the rear orchestra due to the overhang of the mezzanine. I noticed this when I saw Big. It had two-story houses in the set design and I could never see what was happening in the upper story.

Relax, there is no way that Hank's replacement will be "some shmuck." The producers of this show, not to mention Mike Nichols and Eric Idle, are way too smart for that. I know originally Michael McGrath was supposed to do it, but they loved him as Patsy so much he's basically now permanently in that role (which he's great at!)

I doubt it would be John Bolton, also, since he understudies Curry, Pierce and Sieber as well.

[MagicToDo82]

Posted: 4/7/05 at 4:32pm

I bet they'll try to get some sort of a name....regardless of whether its Robin Williams or whoever...but Spamalot basically proves that names don't matter - Christian Borle, Sara Ramirez, and Sieber aren't names, and they're scoring just as many laughs as Curry, Pierce, and Azaria.:)

Gosh, I heart this show.:)

[JudasIscariot]

Posted: 4/8/05 at 12:01am

I don't mind if it's not a big name, but I would like it to be someone with a name, as bad as that might sound.

[JudasIscariot]

Posted: 4/8/05 at 2:49am

Oh yes, I forgot to ask. Does anyone have a complete songlist of Spamalot?

[JudasIscariot]

Posted: 4/9/05 at 1:44am

Anyone?

"Burn Her" is also gone, as is the entire witch burning scene. Unfortunately, there was a lot of cutting and very little put in to replace it. I love the movie and the show had awesome moments but so much just seemed thrown together. It is well worth seeing and very enjoyable all in all though. Have fun.
