Do you think they will be able to take all of the names in 30 minutes? Seriously? Maybe I am overestimating...

Huh? I thought it was going to be online.

I agree. How the heck are they going to get everybody's name in there in 30 minutes?

I can only wish I was there to try. ::sigh::

What time is the performance that evening?

I totally knew that. I'm tired and sick...

Nothing says what the time is. But I bet it's going to be 7 since there is some kind of gala party after it.

Edit: And it is that night (monday). Updated On: 3/3/06 at 11:04 PM

the 10th Anniversary Benefit is on the 24th of April. The anniversary itself is the 29th...with nothing special planned except for 2 regular performances done by the current cast. yea

I thought they were trying to avoid the whole sleeping in the streets overnight ordeal from 1996? the online lotto seemed so much more organized and filled no screaming annoying little Idina fans in person and all that stuff.

sorry for the stupid question- but is this the reunion show thing with all the original cast members?

[liotte]

Posted: 3/3/06 at 11:06pm

I don't know how much sleeping in the streets there will be.

I've seen 500+ people get through the wicked lotto in 30 minutes, I don't think there will be that many people there.

[FabalaYero85]

Posted: 3/3/06 at 11:07pm

yup all 15 of the original cast will be performing at the benefit

[liotte]

Posted: 3/3/06 at 11:07pm

So another thought- Will they have standing room for this show?

hahaha I really can't wait to hear how many people show up for the lottery.

[luvtheEmcee]

Posted: 3/3/06 at 11:09pm

re: SRO, I think they SHOULD have it. It would make sense to just add those to the lottery pool.

[IdinaRocks]

Posted: 3/3/06 at 11:09pm

wow. i'm SO there =)

i think this is a much better idea than the online lottery also. too many people would know how to cheat and give themselves multiple entries and stuff like that.

"I've seen 500+ people get through the wicked lotto in 30 minutes, I don't think there will be that many people there."

You don't? So maybe I am overestimating, which is a good thing.
You think I can get there right around 3:30 and get my name in no problem?
