To everyone on the board...DONT GO IN EARLY!!! I got in at 8:30 this morning, and then tried the Wicked lottery (just for fun), and then this lady and her daughter who lost the Wicked lottery got tickets the row behind us 30 minutes before curtain. I was so pissed.

I haven't seen Wayne's performance in whole, but based on the Broadway on Broadway airing, he has a great voice for Billy. And I've seen him on Who's Line and he is great comedic timing and improv skills. It's amazing how he can hold in his laughs sometime-you see him cracking up one moment, but the next, when his turn comes up, he is calm and ready with a joke.

I was in Row F. Aisle Seats. 101 and 102. Orchestra.

Wayne was alright. He has the charm for the part. He used to sing his heart out on Whose Line, but he just doesn't seem to do it in the show.

Mama was amazing. She could hit every not so perfectly. A++ for her.

I was 4th row orchestra.

Who got back to the Flea Market after the show in time to see Wayne doing the strip tease?! OMG lol

I couldn't believe he was at the flea market right after the show. I was on 8th, but I heard him.

What a life.

Were you near the man in the bright green shirt?

The woman playing Roxie was truly amazing. I didn't like her at the begging, but after she did that whole puppet thing, I fell in love. The actors on the side were dying of laughter.
