HAIR and FINIAN'S RAINBOW

My partner and I will arrive in NYC at noon on October 10 to leave early morning on October 14.

We have booked FINIAN'S RAINBOW for 8pm Sat. 10th and SOUTH PACIFIC for 7pm Tue. 13th.

Firstly, HAIR appears to be playing EVERY Sunday throughout October EXCEPT the Sunday we are there, which is the 11th. Does anyone know why this is? Our flight arrives at La Guardia at noon from Chicago. What are the chances of getting out of the airport, to the hotel to drop our bags, and to the theatre for the 2pm performance of HAIR? I'd say zero, but crazier things have happened. I guess we'd have to factor in the plane being delayed.

Secondly, is Cheyenne Jackson definitely onboard for FINIAN'S RAINBOW? I didn't get to see XANADU, and I really want to see him perform.

My partner and I are coming from Sydney, and our dates are not flexible. Thanks in advance.

And since you are from Australia...the Nat'l Equality March is in Washington DC. It is to support the legalization of Gay Marriage. The producers of Hair, made a big deal about giving the entire cast time off so they could all attend the march.

I'm sorry to say but I think your chances are pretty slim to make it to the theater on time. You 'might' make it if you cut out stopping at the hotel....but you only need one thing to be out of whack and you wouldn't make that either. Even if you LAND on time, it'll be more than 1/2 hour before you are off the plan and get your bags.

However....there might me air travelers here that could give you hope.

Yes, they added a Monday October 5 @ 8pm performance that week.

^ omg that's so intense. haha I would have a heart attack from the stress before I even made it to the theater if I attempted that.

broadwayfascination: that really was very fascinating. I'm gonna save those instructions, for anyone else who may need them ever <3

Hello fellow Broadway lovers,

Thanks for all the feedback. I have cancelled our tickets for FINIAN'S on the Saturday at 8pm. That now leaves us free to see HAIR. We are going to try for lottery seats at $26.50. Are box seats at the Al Hirschfield good?

We will try and see FINIAN'S on the next day at 3pm. I'm not as bothered now since Cheyenne isn't the main attraction. We will toss up between FINIAN'S, WWS or SHREK. If we can get lottery seats for SHREK, that might be the go.

Our bags will be large as we're travelling across the US for 2 weeks. I don't think the theatre staff could cater for massive luggage!

I didn't suggest Cheyenne isn't in it. He's not the central focus (or so I've been told), so I should probably wait until we can see a show where he's the big focus and gets lots of stage time.

Good luck have fun in NYC!!!

yes if it's possible buy tickets for Hair.

Just Saying that Hairspray was one of the easiest lotteries on Broadway to win. 8 out of the 9 times I did Lotto I won. Hair is NOT like that. This past Thursday my cousins were in from out of town all togeather their were nine of us we all put our names into Hair lotto and only one got called.

It seems lately that if you are not the first flight in/out of LaGuardia these days you are going to end up delayed. I can't remember the last time I was on time in that airport.

The HAIR lotto seats are great, but I strongly urge you to purchase them ahead of time.

Yeah, I also recommend buying Hair tickets in advanced if you can.

Recently on a weekday I had nine people playing lotto for me, and NONE of us won.
