Hairspray at NSMT

i REALLY want to attend and am trying to work it out so that I can. Their box office staff was USELESS when I questioned transportation. I didn't ask for the rush ticket policy, but that was the one thing they told me.. rush is day-of, whatever is left, %50 off.

It's opening tonight!

I'm not sure I'll check it out because I saw the tour 4 times when it came to Boston. I <3 Hairspray.

i live down the street from the NSMT. There is no easy way to get there by commuter rail, it doesnt' drop you off near it. BUT the commuter rail stop at "monserart" is about 5-10 minuets by cab.

if you see it let me know if it was any good !

Here is how I suggest people get to NSMT by public transportation/cab from Boston.

From North Station take the Newburyport / Rockport line to Beverly Depot. I suggest Beverly Depot as both lines stop there and it is a much more populated train stop. It has a restaurant, phone, ATM, and is covered if it is raining.

From Beverly Depot it is less than 5 minutes to NSMT by cab. There is a pickup/drop off area at the theatre… you can pre arrange a taxi pick up from Beverly Depot and NSMT knowing the show is 2h 40min with intermission.

Cab company: City Taxi of Beverly. 978-921-1111

Hope this is helpful

I finally saw the show last night, and may I make one suggestion?
Please light a fire under the orchestra!
They sound friggin amazing, but dull.
During Good Morning Baltimore, I was in pain because it dragged so much. You could tell the singers were being held back. And my companion, who'd never seen the show said "It was FANTASTIC, but what was with the dirge at the beginning?"

Overall, fabulous production, really great, but PLEASE....tell the orchestra to cut loose!
