Posted: 10/9/06 at 6:00pmI caved, got a ticket for the 22nd and made my bus reservation. I will then have all 4 casts of the show covered! NY, Boston (ex-SF), Chicago, and now the tour!

Posted: 10/9/06 at 10:39pmI won tickets on KYW...no one must have been entering the contest because I told my friends about it and they all won, too. Fourth row center!

Posted: 10/17/06 at 7:28amI'm going to tomorrow night's show. It'll be my first time seeing the show, as I have never seen it on Broadway for some odd reason.

I hope you get picked!
I'll probably be at the back of the house.

Posted: 10/17/06 at 12:09pmMy tickets for Sunday are Orch row A for the matinee, and Orch row B for the night show. Wasn't taking a chance that I wouldn't get in. And I hate sitting in the back.

Just got back from opening night. Chip was awesome!
Clifton Davis was there and he got Xerophthalmeology right!
He got out on ZuuZuu though.

Posted: 10/18/06 at 9:32amCan anyone confirm that they are not doing a lottery? Or is there a lottery for the tour?

Posted: 10/18/06 at 10:25amI don't think there is a lotto in Philly.

I saw the Philly bee last night. For those of you in the philly area, you can get half-price tickets NOW! you could go to the box office now and get half-price tickets, not for spelling bee shows today, but for the whole run
I saw Spelling Bee on Broadway in August, so this was my second time seeing it.....the biggest difference was that the Merriam Theater is a huge proscenium theater and the Circle-in-the-square theater is small and in the round....they did replicate the set as best they could...and of course it's the same staging
I thought the cast overall was really good. I personally did not feel the cast had as much energy as the Broadway cast, but I still found myself laughing hysterically at jokes that I knew were coming. None of the cast was BAD, but I thought everyone was PERFECT when I saw it on Broadway..The standouts in the Philly bee are Logan and William..it was crazy because the fourth audience speller (Clifton Davis) lasted a LONG time....they had to give him insane words to get him off (and he did a little too cocky about it....not gonna lie...i know he was a celebrity speller, but STILL)
so umm yeah...i guess that's my review...it's such a cute and funny show and i'm really glad i got to see it again (And for such great seats for half-price!!!)
