I almost thought about getting a $500 ticket, but I'd rather see many shows 20-25 times than see Rent once.

So people are in the theater with people who've spent a TON to see Rent with the original cast and THEY ARE USING THEIR CELL PHONES!??!?!?!? Doesn't this strike anyone else as kinda repulsive?
Sorry you're friends wanna hear it, but come on... don't make everyone watch you fool around with your phone while bathed in an electronic glow from the display....

Emcee is definitely there... It was very important for her to go, apparently.

Hm. First that lotto line is CRAZY. My god.
Yay Sarah Jessica Parker. I'm glad she's there supporting Toby. She looks very good tonight.

"I almost thought about getting a $500 ticket, but I'd rather see many shows 20-25 times than see Rent once."
I thought about that too, but right now it's not consoling me too much! The lotto was like way too much for me to handle. I was anticipating craziness but I was not fully appreciating the magnitude. If you go back a couple of pages in this thread, I naively thought if the lotto didn't work out for me I would casually saunter up to the bo and purchase rear mez seats if the mood struck me.
HA, HA, HA on me!

Can we confirm that Emcee is there?
David walked into the valley
With a stone clutched in his hand
He was only a boy
But he knew someone must take a stand
There will always be a valley
Always mountains one must scale
There will always be perilous waters
Which someone must sail

um, i did not ask my friends to call. i actually wasn't expecting a call until the show was over. it was purely their own doing, and they just made me very happy.

Broadwaygirl107 should have been back by now.....I'll be so pissed if I missed out on going with her cause I thought it would be an impossible win

I know that Emcee is there, she bought a ticket.

Lucky you BEKA, sounds like they had fun! Wow, what I wouldn't do to be there. I actually drove my mom crazy after we lost, because suddenly my obsessed fan-ness came out. I brought up paying for the 500 buck tickets, but she started getting mad at me, so I shut up. Guess I deserved it though. Those prices are insane, but hey, good cause. If anyone's back yet, give a review! I'm freaking out here!
Edit: Did Emcee win the lottery, or did she just buy a ticket afterwards?

Em has a 500 ticket.

I heard Emcee got in somehow, not through lottery and she didn't have a ticket as of yesterday, so...
"The Spectacle has, indeed, an emotional attraction of its own, but, of all the parts, it is the least artistic, and connected least with the art of poetry. For the power of Tragedy, we may be sure, is felt even apart from representation and actors. Besides, the production of spectacular effects depends more on the art of the stage machinist than on that of the poet."

I just saw my name mentioned upthread.
Nope, I didn't win. Unfortunately, I didn't even get there today.
I got a call at 8:30 this morning from my boss, begging me to come in today and cover for someone. I had a silent moral dilemma (do I go in for all OT and make a dent in my credit card bill or do I refuse to come in so I can take a slim chance at a Rent lottery?), but realized that work was the better option of the two- no matter how much it sucked.

So it's over by now, right? Has anyone heard from anyone who was there?

Does anyone know if they did a special playbill for tonight at all. I couldn't go because I'm here in DC, but I would have loved to be in that crowd tonight.

I just spoke to a friend who went into the party a few minutes ago. It was really hard to hear, but
"It was hot"
"Idina mooned Taye and he slapped her ass"
SOmething along those lines.

Emcee is not the only BWWer there, you know... I know that wickedrentq bought a $500 ticket, and I'm sure there are others as well.

No turning back, you must accept the con is done... It was a ball, it was a blast. And it's a shame it couldn't last. But every chapter has to end, you must agree.
