I had always planned on getting tickets to this show, and now I know for a fact that I will be there and if I have to I will see the show multiple times in the first few months just to see the incredible Michael Ball

Yay!!!! I am so happy

There's always room for pathos - and jazz hands.

I am a fan of this score, and this makes getting tickets even more imperative...going to see him at City Opera in a week and a half...

and now it pisses me off even more that it's not going to Chicago for a pre-broadway try-out *sigh*

At last! The theater gods have been kind to New York.

I saw his performance of Fosco in London and you will not be disappointed. He's fabulous.

Happiness! Now I need to plan another trip to New York! I really need to find a new vacation spot...

If Percy Blakeney were in Les Mis....

Percy: Sink me! If it isn't Javvurt!
Javert: Zsah-vair, it's pronounced Zsah-vair.
Pecry: But it's spelled J-A-V-E-R-T Javvurt.
Javert: Repeat after me Zsah...Zsah....
Percy: Oh! Zsa-Zsa! Like the Gabor sister! Well I personally have always prefered Eva.
Javert: (Looks for gun)

I saw him on Broadway in ASPECTS OF LOVE in 1990 - I will be there again for THE WOMAN IN WHITE!

I did see him in London in other productions ( ASPECTS OF LOVE, PASSION, CHITTY CHITTY BANG BANG, and THE WOMAN IN WHITE) and in numerous concerts in the UK. Too bad I missed LES MISERABLES ( where I first heard his voice) and in PHANTOM OF THE OPERA. What a great voice and magnetic presence onstage.

Welcome back to Broadway, Michael

The idea of finally seeing Michael Ball in person has me all a twitter.

I didn't know there was a Gold card event. I thought just the regular AmEx offer

There is a slot for a Gold Card event on the Ticketmaster ticket purchase page. I presume this is for some select seats. I have also read about them on the Broadway.yahoo site.

I have decided belatedly to visit NYC again around Thanksgiving and it seems there are no great seats available anymore ( I prefer to sit relatively close to the stage). I was wondering if the Amex Gold card privilege can get one better seats.
