This thread amused me as well as scared me a bit!

I feel people with multiple accounts (and admit it) are like Andy Kaufman. Noone ever knows the difference between reality and a joke.

I see that she is a fake, but my friend made this before I found that out.

hey :)

I just have two quick questions....Does anyone know if they are doing lottery in Philly and where exactly is the stage door?

I'm sorry if these questions were already asked and answered but I honestly couldn't read through this whole thread it was giving me a headache with all the celry stuff, which I must say was somewhat amusing. :)

Thanks to anyone who answers...Have a great night!!!

I am not sure about lottery, but they do have $20 rush tickets that are for seats in the front two rows, available two hours before the performance.

Philly generally only does a Rush system..not lotto.

The stagedoor I think is on Locust street. There is a parking garage (I Believe the Hyatt Bellvue) directly across from it. You walk out of the main exit/entrance (with all the mirrors) on Broad Street and turn left. There's a sign above the door that says "STAGE DOOR" and usually a Rent poster (atleast there was a Blonde one) on the door itself.

It is on Locust and you can't miss it because there will be a TON of people there (at least there were when I went...)

The rush policy in Philly is line not lotto. For a weekend show, and when the weather is sure to be better, I'd recommend arriving at least 3-4 hours prior to when the tickets go on sale. There's no safe way to predict but my guess is, the earlier the better. Stagedoor has been crazy all week, actually all tour, according to a friend in the cast.

Ive been going everyday, and its so amazing! Celra is definitely a fraud, Ive been warning people in the rush line about her (or him?) but they havent shown up. Also, Adam 100% is not doing the stagedoor in Philly. He is sick, and the barricades they have set up are so sad....and its been really scary every night. The rabid fan girls have been basically starting a riot when the security that announces Adam is already gone. He did not come out Tuesday, as he came and did a talkback with about 10 of us, and then he and Anthony left through another exit (I think Anthony went out, and then came back in).

Did anyone see the show yesterday? How does Adam Pascals voice sound since he is sick?

Also, has anyone seen the Rush line? How early should I get there? Thanks!

I went to the Friday night show. I got in line 2 hours before the tickets went on sale and I did not get any of the $20 front row seats. I ended up getting $30 rush seats.

Adam sounded great. Once or twice his voice showed his sickness, but overall he was fantastic. Was sad to not see him at the stage door though. And yeah, the stage door was nuts. The only stage door I have been to with a bigger crowd was Equus with Daniel Radcliffe.

Don't worry, Adam has a very special illness that only affects his stagedoor habits.

I just looked on the site today and you can still get an eighth row seat for tonight. At least you could earlier today..

I got seats in the first balcony, a little off to the side, but the view was still fantastic.

Yeah, I don't know how large the venue in Philly is or how well the show sold, but you can still get plenty of seats here in New Jersey for all shows. I'm annoyed now though because I chose row A in the 4th tier because I couldn't get one in the 3rd one, and I wanted to make sure nobody would be blocking my view. Of course, now that I have my ticket, the front row in the 3rd tier magically opened up for my show a few days ago. But, so far I am a loner in my seating area. Everyone keeps buying the $23 seats in the rear of that section. I'm literally the only person in my section as I checked a few times. I was just curious to how it was selling.

I saw the show last night...I thought that the changes made were perfect and they did make the show even better if that was possible...I could tell Adam was a bit sick...he was still able to hit all his notes but it seemed as though he was breathing a bit heavy...which I can relate to because I am also sick...I was just so happy to see the show...the side seating of the theater isn't the best...you can't see some of what happens without leaning forward and obstructing someone elses view....anywho the show was awesome and they really did pick an amazing cast....hope everyone gets to see the tour!!!
