Posted: 2/12/07 at 8:22pmThanks for the explanations. I had noticed that there was a gap between C 18 and C 22 when looking at the seating chart, so I guess it would make sense that they just would continue to number normally and that my ticket is really for C 20. Thanks again.

Posted: 2/12/07 at 8:25pmRevolutionary, I'm glad I am not the only one who adored the Booth wig, I thought it was just so perfect and it topped off his sinister presence.

Posted: 2/12/07 at 10:10pmNice to hear that B-18 and B-20 have an okay view. My friend and I have those seats for Friday.
"You travel alone because other people are only there to remind you how much that hook hurts that we all bit down on. Wait for that one day we can bite free and get back out there in space where we belong, sail back over water, over skies, into space, the hook finally out of our mouths and we wander back out there in space spawning to other planets never to return hurrah to earth and we'll look back and can't even see these lives here anymore. Only the taste of blood to remind us we ever existed. The earth is small. We're gone. We're dead. We're safe."

Posted: 2/12/07 at 10:12pmThey're perfect for 98% of the show. Just be prepared to lean to the side (I'd take the aisle if I were you) to see some parts of Act II, which take place on the raised platform.

Posted: 2/13/07 at 12:55pmHas there been any press on this show yet? Maybe I'm blind, but I haven't seen a single word in any of the papers.

Posted: 2/13/07 at 1:36pmAh, I see. Thanks! I know that shows don't have press during previews, but I didn't realize that Lear was in previews. I guess I'll be in for my first ever preview viewing this weekend! When is opening night?

I absolutely adored every minute of it! Michael is fanfreakingtastic. Though his hairpiece in the first bit is actually worse than the Anyone Can Whistle one.

Posted: 2/15/07 at 12:33pmIt's an unnecessary thing that's only there for one scene. They could have changed his appearance a number of other ways.
