Never Gonna Dance- never gonna run!

My friend tried to get good seats for a discount offer, but they were sold out. So there are a lot of people that plan on seeing it.

I got it yesterday but I haven't listened to it yet. Not sure I want to now.

This is the second thread you've started saying this show is 'never gonna run'... based on a snippet of a song you heard. Can we at least wait till someone actually sees a show before we rip it to shreds? I'm very much looking forward to this, so I'd like to see it get a chance.

As far as discount offers, it varies. I just snagged $47.50 tix for 'Anna in the Tropics' on a discount offer from Telecharge- not bad for a Pulitzer-winning play starring Jimmy Smits. 2 orchestra seats right in the middle of aisle C... I'm no expert, but it seems to me that sometimes discount offers are sent out to mailing lists like the Telecharge one before tickets go on sale or shortly thereafter, maybe to ensure that someone is actually in the audience for the first month or so of performances, or to help drum up some good word of mouth with regular theater-goers.

I have no opinion to offer whatsoever on the merits of this play at this time, but at least if it's bad I'm only out less than $100 for 2!

Just sign up for the e-mail lists on Telecharge, the New York Times, Playbill... there's tons of 'em. Or go to Broadwaybox.com- they have most of the discount codes in one handy spot.

I want the CDs as well!

I see your point, but honestly, with a CD you can at least make it sound better than real life. I would have done that if I were the producer. But, as far as Bway on Bway was concerned- that was LIVE and did not sound all that great.

I also received the CD today. This show looks ok. I haven't listened to the songs yet though.
