I don't know what to think. For the 25th, it was a messy lottery-type giveaway of a few seats in the back of the balcony, as the rest of the house was given to "dignitaries" and past cast members.

I attended the 25th and didn't have to sign up for any lottery.  I was able to get mezzanine seats via telecharge for regular price, and I didn't know anyone in the cast or crew.  Still waiting for an official announcement.

How did you do that? I don't recall any tickets being on sale to the public; I got mine at the last minute when an online acquaintance won the lottery but couldn't actually go.

I'm hoping not to have to play that anxiety game again for the 30th"

I suspect that we will, unfortunately, be playing that game again. For the 25th, did you have to stand out in the (literally) freezing wind in Shubert Alley, waiting for the PR woman to come hand out the tickets? It was bitter!

I am bugging the sh*t out of the people who run the POTO FB page about this Bway 30th Anniversary...lol I keep asking them to consider the fans when they release tickets for the 24th...haha, hoping the squeaky wheel thing goes into effect here!!!  Can't hurt, right?

this show needs to colesd and just go on tour

Has anyone heard a peep about this yet?!?!?!

So I heard from a very reliable source that Peter Joback is in town (NYC) to do a photoshoot today for the 30th. I can't wait to see the photos!!

Here's hoping they accompany some sort of announcement for the celebration plans!"

 

YAAHHHSSS! Here's to hoping Lot666.

I saw a pic on Peter's Instagram of his costume fitting (cute!!!!) and he's rehearsing now as well...then going back to Europe for the holiday while Laird takes over. Peter's first day as Phantom is January 15th, I believe. Excited to see him in the role on the 26th!

My gut tells me he's lying, or possibly just confused, but do you think this is at all a possibility? He said that they gave out about 100 tickets to local corporations and businesses."

I was at the show this past Saturday and spoke to the lady at the box office. She told me that they are not initially selling tickets to the public for that show that it's invite only, but that they may release some MEZZ tickets for the public and I should keep checking back. It sounded hopeless for the phans, honestly....but I am still holding out.

I'm inclined to disbelieve his story as well. For the 25th, much of the house was given to "dignitaries" and former cast and creative team members, with only a handful of seats way up in the balcony made available to the public (through some sort of social media lottery, if I recall correctly). There won't be any shortage of demand, so I can see no reason why they would give away 100 tickets to "local corporations and businesses".

If you've never seen Laird Mackintosh at the Phantom, I highly recommend doing so while you have a chance. His take on the role pays homage to Michael Crawford and he's really very good, from both anacting and singing perspective. Honestly, part of me wishes they'd give the roleto him when Mr. Joback is done, but then I'd miss him as Andre."

It's funny you say that Laird compares to MC, I totally agree. I lucked out and saw him once when James got sick and he was AMAZING. He made me cry at they end even after seeing the show a million times. If a Phantom can make me cry at the end at this point, that speaks volumes. He ranks up there as one of my favorite Phantoms, although he seemed a little nervous at first during that particular show. It can't be easy going back and forth in those 2 roles. I have never seen Peter perform the role, so I am looking forward to catching that on the 26th.

This past Sat, Laird was still on vacation and another guy played Andre...not sure of his name, but he was GREAT and super funny. I wish they'd give it to Laird after Peter for a longer run.
