I think this is going to be a sleeping overnight event.

No, bare.

I was planning on going. Does anyone from Broadwayworld want to meet up and camp out with me?

I doubt people will be camping out for this, that's ABSURD. It's THE PAJAMA GAME - no one cares about it - and it's not like they won't have rush for 49 cents more anyway...

Any takers on getting there around 7 or 8 with me to grab the tickets?

that's what i thought too Margo...i would get them if I could just waltz in at 10am and buy two tickets, but i won't camp overnight for that. i'm sure it'll be on tdf.

Oh, I won't camp out overnight. I'd probably get there between 7 or 8 a.m for them. That's about it, though. My roommate and I both love Harry Connick Jr. so I'd love to be able to get he and I tickets.

Elphaba:

I never once said that I didn't like THE PAJAMA GAME and that I didn't think it was a good show, at all. I'm just saying, people are being SERIOUSLY overdramatic for this. When I said no one cares about this show, I just meant that it doesn't have a lot of buzz. I can't see people knocking others down to go get $20 tickets for a show that hasn't even really been advertised yet. You're awful quick to think that I don't like this show - becauase I do. I did this show last summer and it was a very rewarding experience. I am thrilled to see a professional production of it, and I am ecstatic to see what book changes they have made - they are MUCH needed.

Hahaha...I'm with Munk and Margo.

Getting there early to see Harry... fine.
Getting there early to see THE PAJAMA GAME...questionable.

Sidebar, I didn't know HC, Jr. was in this. Seriously was there ANY press for this show?

And while I'm here, who the f*ck would ever camp out overnight just to get rush tickets to a show...

I think it's a cool draw. But, I would *never* camp out! I wouldn't even camp out for Chitty Chitty Bang Bang tickets! And Raúl Esparza was there the day the box office opened!

I personally am more interested in the offer as $20 for a promotioal nightgown with some tickets thrown in.

Wow...already trying a stunt like this to get people there. Don't get me wrong, I'm a revival fan and PAJAMA GAME has some great songs but I just don't understand why they feel a need to revive this particular show. There are others that seem more worthy of my money down. Just my opinion of course.

I'll probably head in the early morn, like 8 a.m. But I'm on crutches right now, so camping out is not an option!

I think the first 100 tickets should cost 7 1/2 cents.

This show is seriously dated and I doubt its durability. There was another revival in the late 70's with Hal Linden and Barbara McNair, which lasted 1 night, and the critics thougt it was dated then. A labor dispute over a 7and a half cent raise? I have done the show twice and even if it is treated as a piece of nostalgia, it is a stretch. Some great songs, though.
