PKBOX4 will work in September, Sunday-Thursday. Don't think there are discounts for Fri/Sat.

I saw the show for my second time yesterday afternoon and loved it, as I predicted. I got a half-price ticket for the second row, which, in retrospect, was a mistake; I had a headache until I went to sleep that even Advil couldn't get rid of.

Everyone was in except for Adam Dannheisser, and Tad Wilson went on for him. Having seen Adam's Dennis, I was a little wary. For that role, you have to have such great timing and chemistry with Mitchell Jarvis. I was completely blown away; Tad Wilson was amazing.

Don Stephenson was alright. There wasn't really anything remotely humorous or likable in his portrayal of Hertz, unlike Paul Schoeffler. I'm VERY happy he's coming back in October.

There were some funny little things I didn't notice before, like in one ballad in Act 2 (can't remember if it's 'I Can't Fight This Feeling' or something else), Jeremy Woodard (as Joey Primo) is standing at the top of the stairs caressing a beaver puppet. I thought that was absolutely hilarious. Being so close also meant seeing everything people had written on various set pieces, my favorite being "your****here" with an arrow pointing down on a chair.

There was an unscripted funny moment! When James Carpinello enters in "Don't Stop Believin'," he jumps on the top of the stairs right before he sings. He kept jumping at the start of each line, which made Constantine crack up and start imitating him mid-solo. Savannah was cracking up, as was Constantine, and poor James Carpinello was trying to sing while giving him the finger. Oh, and his mustache was falling off. Absolute greatness.

lol, I noticed Joey Primo at the top of the stairs with his pet beaver last time I was there! Hilarious.

I was right in the front row and during the lap dance scene, Sherrie 'throws' Stacee on the floor and he slides right out to who ever is in seat A108. His face is about 6 inches from that person and he says "Help". lol

Love that they crack each other up.

i love those unscripted moments. makes it fun.

james says different things when he "slides" across the stage, depends on who is sitting in that seat. if he knows the person he will say "help me, NAME" or he may say something totally different.

Okay, so I am getting ready to buy tickets for my 3rd trip to ROA (and this time I'm bringing a friend!) and I wanted really good seats... I was thinking early OCtober, but ticketmaster.com says the best seats I can get are on the far sides.... do you think I would be able to get better seats if I called the theater? I at least want to be in the center section!

[Stage Door Sally]

Posted: 8/24/09 at 6:04pm

I'm also on the prowl for tickets. It seems that unless you spring for the super expensive premium seats, the seats that pop up online are always on the sides and usually as far back as Row N orchestra.

It wouldn't hurt to call. I wonder if anyone else has any tips and tricks.

ETA: Also, sometime ago when the CD Cast Album was released there was supposed to be a signing at a music store that was cancelled... Does anyone know if it was re-scheduled or ever will be re-scheduled?

I remember wanting to go to that signing so bad. Wasn't it canceled because the Michael Jackson tribute was on or something? And as far as I know it wasn't rescheduled =[

[lstbutifulgrl2]

Posted: 8/24/09 at 10:53pm

i haven't heard anything about it being rescheduled. i was looking forward to the signing as well. i would assume at this point it's not going to be rescheduled.

[Devious]

Posted: 8/25/09 at 12:39am

Yeah because like wouldn't they want the original cast to be there? And since Amy is no longer apart of the show...

Although I wouldn't mind if Savannah went, she's awesome =]

[BlueforBroadway]

Posted: 8/25/09 at 2:25pm

If you go to the theater the day of the show, you can buy the premium seats for regular price. If there is a promo code, print it out and they should honor it. I don't think there are any promo codes for Friday or Saturday, though.

We got row A by doing that.

[Devious]

Posted: 8/25/09 at 2:50pm

This was probably discussed before but how many of you are going to Wesley and Savannah's last show?
I got tickets for it as my birthday present so I'm pretty excited even though its gonna be sad

[singalongsong2]

Posted: 8/25/09 at 3:22pm

Devious, I am jealous. I really wish I could go. I have seen the last performances of several different actors/actresses and they were each so special...fun, energetic, and a bit sad. Although I love the cast album, I really wish that it was Savannah's vocals featured as Sherrie. She has done such a great job in the role. Wesley Taylor is a riot. I will miss him the most!

[lstbutifulgrl2]

Posted: 8/25/09 at 3:50pm

i'm planning at being at the show on the 13th, my goal is to get there when the BO opens and get standing room, or rush.

[withoutlovewithoutU]

Posted: 8/25/09 at 5:51pm

Aw man, I didn't know Savannah was officially leaving I got to see her twice but I was hoping to see her again.
I wonder who is going to replace her...

[Jane2]

Posted: 8/25/09 at 6:25pm

Wow, I can just imagine how that house will come down for Wesley's number on his last show. He brings it down every night, I wouldn't mind seeing his last. ...but I won't be there.

[frapperia]

Posted: 8/25/09 at 10:10pm

I am coming over from the UK partly because of Wesley leaving - I would probably have come over later in the year if he hadn't been leaving at this point. I have only just discovered him and can't bear the thought of missing him in this. His voice is incredible and he's so funny, even in the limited things I've seen him in on Youtube. I might even break my self-imposed rule and SD for the very first time in my life.

[Jane2]

Posted: 8/25/09 at 10:31pm

I don't think you'll be sorry!

[Jersey Girl2]

Posted: 8/25/09 at 10:47pm

>>>SD for the very first time in my life.
LOL
Don't get too crazy.
I met Wesley at the first preview at NWS- he was amazing that night & has only gotten better.
He will be missed.

[frapperia]

Posted: 8/25/09 at 11:44pm

LOL I won't. I said 'might'. I can't deal with the whole stage door/fangirl thing at all - I remember walking past Hairspray last time I was in NY and it was terrifying, the girls were completely freaking out for Ashley Parker Angel and Lance Bass - and if you've seen the pictures from Jude Law's stint in Hamlet over here... it's just crazy. I'd rather meet someone on my own terms or not at all, but we shall see re this.

[Devious]

Posted: 8/25/09 at 11:56pm

He is my favorite Im so upset that he's leaving but yeah he'll definitely kill it with Hit Me With Your Best Shot

As for stagedooring at ROA it really isn't that bad
Then again last time I was there was a few days after it opened on bway so maybe its gotten worse since then?

[frapperia]

Posted: 8/26/09 at 12:07am

Just listening to him on the cast recording cracks me up - "Vat? You vant to hit me?" and the way he goes "aahhhhh" up the scale after "the one in me" - so I can't wait to see what he does live!

And I adore his tone in this --> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x0a0PQ7BQ28
