My Thoughts on YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN (Gene Wilder was there) — Page 3

Strangely, I love Broadway . . . loved the film, but no way on any planet, any time, would I pay $400.00 bucks to see a show! I adore, pretty much worship and "mentally" stalk Tim Curry (which means, I am a lazy stalker -- I just have no energy to do anything but dream of someone); anyway, I digress! And I didn't see "Spamalot" one time on Broadway!

Ok, so I saw it in England [only once] . . . but a friend paid for it! *wink*

Thus, even if the show had all my all-time favorites from Tim Curry, Alan Rickman, Vincent D'Nofrio, Idina Menzel and Kristen Chenoweth, Julia Murney and Kendra Kassebaum -- I still would not pay $400.00 for one show.

Maybe that's just me . . .!
So, if YF lasts and tickets are running more "normal" -- in the $120.00 range [I mean, I've paid nearly $200.00 for "Wicked"], I would see it if I have the time and the dollars.

Young Frankenstein for me was about on the level of Spamalot; think it'll be a hit, but nothing like The Producers was. But it is not at all hard to get a good seat at face value for this show. I saw it Wednesday night after finding a good tenth row ticket a few days earlier, and moved up to 2nd row center at the intermission just to see what it felt like in those "$450 seats"! Not only that but there was a guy in Times Square selling decent orchestra seats for below face, and I think it's only going to get easier....
