Not Broadway but during the finale of the UK Tour of Miss Saigon felt really sick, I actually couldn't stand up for the ovations and barely clapped it was that bad. 10 minutes after leaving the theatre I was fine.

So a few days later i go and see it again, this time im not even in the theatre and i start to feel like I'm goanna throw up again, still i ignored it and went in to watch the show. I made it to 'I Still Believe' before having to go to the bathroom, the ushers were so lovely and gave me some water before letting me take my seat again. This time I only got about 10 more minutes in before i had to leave, this time i just took my coat and bag and went home, I didn't want to interrupt again.

From then, I started to feel sick and physically throw up before every show i saw. It was totally psychological and the weirdest thing thats ever happened to me. Luckily I got some medication from the doctor, and though i dont' take it anymore, it's never come back.

les mis i had a horrible coughing thing and and to stifle my coughs through the WHOLE show. then i dashed to the bathroom to try to blow my nose and clear out my sinuses and i gave myself a nosebleed, since bufferin does that to me and i took some before i went.

NOT good

I was throwing up the day I was going to see Miss Saigon. I actually dragged myself to school so I could still go and my mom would have no reason not to let me, and I basically had nothing to eat all day but a popsicle.

It was worth it, though.


Jimmy, what are you doing here in the middle of the night? It's almost 9 PM!
