I'm thinking about legally changing my name to Lizzie Curry...
I think people WERE rushing that early to see the understudy, since the absence was planned and it sold out the show.
If it hadn't been sold out I doubt it would have been that intense.
Now what would you say if today I started over?
Without a thing but this taped together four leaf clover
And I'll pretend like everything is already alright
And I'll run toward the sun till the castle's out of sight
They are making the [tos]ser and rentheads (can't believe I just wrote those two words *cringe*) look like nothing.

Wow- that's ridiculous. I was planning on trying to see it a 2nd time next weekend, but I think I'll save myself an entire night on the cement and just spend the extra $60. :P

im not sure i understand why its "reasonable" to stay up all night to see Patti's last show in gypsy but its somehow not as reasonable to do the same for a random u/s in n2n.
both involve extremely devoted, probably unhealthy, behavior. patti's stardom doesnt make one any more normal than the other.
right, and sleeping on the street to see either is somewhat abnormal behavior. i find it very VERY humorous that people here (not necessarily ljay, sorry!) are willing to look down their noses at the people lying on pavement to see an u/s in next to normal, from their own encampment a few blocks away waiting to see patti lupone ONE.MORE.TIME!
Ljay- I agree. I think they need to change it to a LOTTO. Its becoming out of control and almost impossible to get rush tickets if your not there by 5 AM.

What on Earth are you talking about, Val? I've never payed anyone to rush any show for me, EVER. So you're off base, YET AGAIN. Updated On: 6/25/09 at 02:54 PM
DefyGravity, Whats your obsession with adamgreer? It seems like every time he says something, you have to make a comment or remark. Doesn't it get old?

For what it is worth, there is a group of altarholics who rush this show and who seem to enjoy a good overnight outside a theater.
Having never seen that show I didn't know their fanbase was so devoted but a fair amount of them seem to be hardcore rushing this show for Kyle Dean Massey.
Now what would you say if today I started over?
