Rush Drama — Page 7

As of now, NOTHING has been done to remedy this situation, despite multiple complaints and evidence of unfair play going on. I encourage anyone with information or who was there Sunday or Wednesday to contact the Nederlander Organization, and complain about the situation and explain what you saw happen. I'm sorry, but it's just not fair to allow this to continue to happen. I'd rather they eliminate rush completely.

"Over at SA, there is a patron that has seen the show close to 300 times.

.... I hope this is an exaggeration."

If it's not, that would mean that individual has seen approximately 60% of the show's Broadway performances. Which, I love SA as much as the next person, but that's...insane.

Over at SA, there is a patron that has seen the show close to 300 times.

After reading everything on this board, does this really surprise you guys?

I'm pretty sure she was discussed at length earlier. Isn't this the one who got some kind of inheritance so she can see a show every night or something?

Whether or not that is Kelly is irrelevant. Kelly and the rest of the people on this thread aren't so much talking about behavior at stage door or with the actors but rather something to do with the box office. There has been plenty of inappropriate behavior at the LB stage door and many other stage doors, but that's not the issue at hand and it was kind of unnecessary for you to post pictures of her or anyone else. She isn't the only one that complained on this thread and what she has done in the past has nothing to do with what may have been shady behavior with the box office.

Edited because I must say, in her defense, she dressed like that on Halloween. I don't think it's out of the norm for people to dress like a Broadway character for Halloween. I can recall countless Elphabas, Mimis, Maureens, etc. that I've seen.

Lauren, I find it interesting that you joined today solely to muse about the identities behind the people on this thread.

And having such a detailed costume may seem odd to you, but perhaps she is really into Halloween or has a great attention for detail. Whose business is it? Certainly not yours.

In fact, it really wasn't your place to join and make a personal attack on someone like this. This isn't what this thread was about.

I'm glad that your first posts on this board are vindictive and malicious with no real point behind them. I really didn't want to get involved in another vindictive BWW posting match, but I have done things in the past that I'm not proud of and I've been attacked for them and I know how it feels and it's crappy. You don't have all the information. You've stated you don't know her, so perhaps you should just stop.

I figured you might appreciate it. I hope you don't take it as malicious, it was just a joke :-P

assume that there was no "foul play" at the box office and that these people paid full price for these tickets and did nothing wrong.

Except that someone posted a picture of the tickets in this very thread and you can clearly see the price was $26.50. The only question is are the box office workers allowed to set aside certain tickets for certain people, or if a ticket is listed at the rush price must it be sold to the rush line? If they can sell the tickets to whomever, as long as the price is the same, then that's that.

(This thread has been pretty amusing. I still can't even get over the fact that people slept outside overnight for LEGALLY BLONDE of all things!)

I think it's pretty clear that there was foul play here. And BARNONE, you are quite wrong. From what I hear, the Nederlander Organization DOES intend to do something about it.

I would hope that the people who did it, learned their lesson and won't do it again and that is enough on their end. No need for personal attacks on anyone's character. It's the box office that will hopefully be reprimanded so it DOES not happen again. I think that's all that people want out of this.

Although...BARNONE, your post was unnecessary. While Kelly hasn't always behaved in an appropriate manner, I am quite aware of who you are and your behavior has been much more reprehensible. I'm not calling you out or posting pictures (shame on you, lauren!) but I am just saying that perhaps you should realize that this same thread could be about you and I don't think you would like if someone posted a response like that in regards to you.

I guess I missed something that's now been deleted but in case anyone is wondering, A) this thread is about the rush line and B) while incredibly detailed, it's not the first and only time fans have dressed up as Orfeh's character on Halloween. It happened at SNF too. That has less than zero to do with whether or not people in the box office were wrong. I'm also still scratching my head over the fact that this was all to see an understudy go on.
