Darn, I lost the Wicked lottery. Now what do I do?

Posted: 8/16/05 at 12:56pm

Yes, I'm making a Wicked post. Get over it.

Most of us in NYC have gone to Wicked to do the lottery, and I'd say at some point, 99% of us have lost. Cancellation line is full (and you don't have $100 to drop on the show anyway or you wouldn't have done the lotto in the first place).

Now what do you do?

Rush a different show. You've got enough time, yet.

Oh, I should add- I've seen every musical playing on Broadway now. Most of them 5+ times (including ASU, Rent, DRS, Mamma Mia, Hairspray, Chicago, Lion King, B&B, Spelling Bee, Q, Phantom, and then most of the off-broadway ones as well)

See a play. See something else again. See Chitty. Save your money for next season and go rent a movie.

I've seen both Piazza and Chitty, didn't care for either one. Plays bore me, I've tried quite a few and never enjoy them.

Rent a movie? But I'm out on the town in NYC!!!

Well, tonight when I go lose the lottery, I will have a 9 year old with me. So maybe not so much with Fringe for her....

But a good idea for me for future reference!

A 9 year old? Then Chitty is the way forward.

Nothing precious, plain to see, don't make a fuss over me. Not loud, not soft, but somewhere inbetween. Say sorry, just let it be the word you mean.

God, I have such a problem.

I saw Chitty with an 11 year old (orch seats) and we were both rather bored... (sorry Em!)

There are other awesome things in New York besides theater.

See a show again! Hairspray's right around the corner.

How about seeing Sweet Charity or Doubt?

I have always been a fan of Christina Applegate and Cherry Jones is an EXCELLENT ACTRESS not to mention a sweetheart!

Saw Sweet Charity, once was enough.

I'm looking for suggestions other than theater too, bring them on!

Try the Spamalot cancellation line.

re: Darn, I lost the Wicked lottery. Now what do I do?

Posted: 8/16/05 at 2:18pm

Seen Blue Man Group and Stomp 4 times each.

Spamalot was the dumbest thing I've ever seen and I have no desire to see that ever again. Plus cancellation tickets are $100, I don't want to spend that much on a ticket or I would have just paid for a Wicked ticket in the first place instead of the lottery.
