Shocking TKTS Offerings During the HOLIDAY Season!!

Posted: 12/21/06 at 12:03am

MAMMA MIA and SPAMALOT were both on TKTS this past weekend!! I was *SHOCKED* - especially for MAMMA MIA (but THANK GOD it's beginning to dip).

COLOR PURPLE and DROWSY were also up but I heard they have been off and on for a while.

For the power of Tragedy, we may be sure, is felt even apart from representation and actors. Besides, the production of spectacular effects depends more on the art of the stage machinist than on that of the poet."

This is the holiday season we are talking about. They will not be up there much longer. I mean until January comes.

Spamalot is going to really start to dip I think. It was just not that great.

LES MIS was up, too.

HAIRSPRAY will definitely be up. Although I heard they are adding two "big names" next month so we'll see what kind of response that gets.

Interesting.

Yeah, I don't think Spam will last as long as we all thought. It seems to be slipping.

The promblem with Spam is that once the big names leave you see what is really is: a pathetically bad show . . . it always was, it was just disguised by names.

I had really wanted to see Spamalot, but then I listened to the cast recording.

Aww I love Spamalot (flame me all you want) but I'm sort of hoping it does show up on TKTS. I really want to see Marin Mazzie as the Lady of the Lake.
