So, today me, my mom, and my sister went in to try for rush at Jersey Boys and when we got to the train station my sister realized she forgot her id at home. So, basically what we did was we were going to ask someone there if they were getting one ticket with their id and if they could perhaps buy her a ticket.
We got to the theatre around 7am and there were already three people there, who at first I thought were just killing time and waiting for someone or something, but when we got there I left for a couple of minutes and when I got back apparently my sister asked the three if they could let us get our mom a ticket for the show to which the girl said rudely, "No."
So, fast forward to around 11am where I found out that the box office opens at 12pm(I had always thought it was 11am that they opened on Sundays). So, basically me and my sister got our rush seats and our mom stood for SRO and she got it. While we were waiting for her, we hung out at the flea market, I picked up a copy of the Broadway yearbook and then we went back and waited for her.
The show, as usual was fantastic. Bobby was out and John Leone was in and he was alright as Nick Massi, Peter Gregus was also out and Donnie Kehr was in for him and Matthew Scott was in for Donnie. John sounded alot better than he must have when he was sick, some of his high notes sound alitte rough but all in all, he sounded and looked alot better than he must have a while ago. At the end of Can't Take My Eyes Off You, me and my sister got up to give John a standing ovation and I was kinda hoping he'd look over at us.
The stage door was packed as usual and it didn't get really crazy until Christian got out and then this one guy like started shoving to get to him, so I basically had to get out to somewhere that was more open(I'm very claustrophobic). Daniel, Michael, and John followed afterwards. Michael signed my copy of his cd and mentioned that he's planning a concert soon, I got a handshake from Christian, who was just in a fantastic mood, I honestly don't think I saw that grin he had on his face leave it.
I had a really nice conversation with Daniel. I told him I used Cry For Me for an audition and he just had this surprised look on his face and we just went from there for a bit. As I waited for John, I overheard him say that the deal with ABC is that he'll be in a drama series AND, I emphasize on the AND, he said that wit the deal he doesn't see any reason NOT to also still be at Jersey Boys. So, we talked for a bit also and I want to say this cause I asked him if that's him on myspace and he said that it is and sometimes it's his girlfriend, Allison. My sister also gave John a very nice tip about his Acid Reflux which is basically to chew more gum(I forget exactly what it does but I think that it helps reduce the acid).
So, all in all we had another fantastic day at Jersey Boys and on the side the three that were ahead of us, bought five tickets and I assumed that they were coming back with two of their friends. No one who was on the rush line that were near me and my sister including us saw them at the show. So, basically we're on the assumption that they bought the tickets and basically scalped them, and you know it's not like I didn't expect that cause even though I know the saying about judging a book by its cover, but literally they didn't seem like the kind who would go for a Broadway show. They seemed more the kind who trashed and made fun of the ones who enjoy theatre and call them gay and say that Broadway's gay, but hey who knows. One of the other thoughts going through my head was that they were going to show up late and maybe make awhole lot of fuss during the show.
