SF Bee -- some questions!

The Post is fairly small since its in an hotel. I'm guessing it seats about 500. Definitely smaller than the Curran. Row J is only 10 rows from the stage, which may be at stage level. Any closer and you'll be sitting below the stage. The seats, however, are a bit cramped.

But definitely ask the box office when you buy your tickets about the differences in seating. They know their stuff, and I have never had a bad experience there because of their recommendations.

when i went last weekend, i entered the theater around 10 minutes before curtain, and had already chosen the people who went on stage. i think one thing that will help you get picked is that they ask how many people are in your party - in a newspaper article, i read that they like to pick a person who comes in a large group because the group becomes its own cheering section for the participant.

enjoy! it's a great show~

Large groups help and it's good to be excited about the possibility of going up. They want you to have fun up there.

Matt was great as Panch (and William). All the u/s are great there actually.

LIZZIE! YOU CHANGED AVATARS HAHAHA

OKAY...
The Post Street Theatre is located 1/2 block south of Union Square on Post Street. The theatre is relatively small, about 1/2 the size of the Curran. While it is 2 stories (orhcestra and balcony), there is NO over-hang. Row J is a perfectly fine veiw because the theatre is so perfect for the show.

There are about a dozen people in the theatre lobby with clipboards interviewing people in the lobby to be potential guest spellers. For about 30 mins they collect names... then at about 10 minutes before show-time (after a quick deliberation) they announce 4 people to be their guests.

You'll freakin' love the show. Do it do it do it do it.
Also, there are 4 more adult shows coming up! You heard it here first! Press release announced tomorrow with the dates!

I know for when I went, one the girl knows me, and two I have a totally bubbly personality and I am always excited to be there, and they knew I would be comfortable with all the boob jokes they were going to make for adult night. Just make sure you seem happy to be there and comfortable and you should be a good pick to go up there.

Nice pic! Do you know who took that? When I ran back in to get playbills after the adult show, I saw some cast members and non-cast members milling about on stage.

729 seats to be exact, here is a picture! also a question about rush tickets, are they supposed to be purchased on the second floor lobby? or downstairs?

They're on the extreme right and left, first three rows. It's barely, baaaarely obstructed.

Edit: I'm dumb. LOL...

do you mean the desk that is located behind the door that says "use main entrance" or something like that?

oooooh i get it now! whee!

Here's what the screening process is like.

Find someone with a clipboard about 20 min. before the show and say you'd like to volunteer.
The person then asks your name, age, and if you've ever seen the show before and if you're a good speller then you take a slip of paper and walk over to a table and line up and then your asked more questions like do you have acting experiance, what's your fav tv show, how many people are in your group, do you know current events, what other shows have you seen, where you live, if you get nervous on stage, if you have a sense of humor, and if you do any word games like crossword puzzles. Then 10 minutes before the show they announce the 4 people they've picked and those people are taken somewhere to be told what to do. phew. That was the longest sentence ever.



If you want to be chosen it's best if you tell them you're an ok speller, where a crazy shirt,be with a large group and say you have no acting experiance.

Haha! I just saw your question about the "chubby suit" Lizzie! Well, the answer is no. Matt didn't wear any padding when he went on as William and he didn't wear the curly wig either. I definitely noticed a couple jokes that fell flat because of how fit he is, but he was still a really funny Barfee.
