well, i'd like to thank everyone for the updates since i aksed thespian the 'dish' last night. i had a groovy time at WS in May and saw everyone, no understudies.
i'm takin' my partner and mom to see it 11/12. it should make it through the end of 2006. i cannot fathom them not milking the use of this american idol kid to bridge this end-of Sept. gap. I think they have him doing press everywhere. LOL i also cannot imagine them NOT stretching thru the rough patch to be SURE that WS is around to rake in some serious holiday profits from the tourist trade.
i will also say that when i got tkts. thru the latest "Sept. lag" discount offer ('ya gotta LOVE those Sept. lag discount offers!! LOL), people must have hopped on it. they were selling seats through January, and the pickins were VERY slim...so much so that I couldn't locate decent seats for us 3 until mid-November.
this show is a HUGE tourist commodity (given that many seem to have vaguely heard of the Sandler film and love those raz-ma-tazzy upbeat musicals.) also, it's about weddings and people always LOVE a good wedding onstage. and doesn't this show offer like 40 weddings? lol so, give it another week or so before the tourist trade begins buying again for the holidays. also, the brokers will probably be able to move blocks when groups soon begin booking holiday theater trips. also this american idol kid may help move more tkts. than expected. Wedding Singer's producer Margo Lion, who produced HAIRSPRAY, is plugging away.
Let's all just think lovely thoughts. I am sure Margo also has another ace or two up her sleeve and that it will at least have a swell run to the end of this year.
