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

If anyone ever tells you that you put too much Parmesan cheese on your pasta, stop talking to them. You don't need that kind of negativity in your life.

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...

Um, OK. Have fun guys.......

Word, Elphaba. Word.

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.

Nope. My roommate is a tall, hetero metrosexual with VERY good taste. Haha. Love the kid.

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.
