I think I paid full price for Sweet Charity tour with Molly Ringwald. The pain. The money. The empty house.

$54 for Cry-Baby during previews.

I really enjoyed much about EQUUS - but I expected it would be difficult to get good tickets for it and so ordered as soon as Amex did their pre-sale.

I bought full price tickets to The Country Girl, with that cast, I thought it would sell very well and actually be pretty good. Well it didn't sell all that well and it sucked.

Tarzan and Equus. Both came out with student rush pretty early in the run, before the dates I had the tickets for.

Full price...
What does that mean?

The Threepenny Revival- it was before I knew what TKTS was....so not worth it.

Not sure if a discount was applied, since it was back in High School for the spring break thespian trip, but the Sly Fox revival and Rent. Yeesh.

Spring Awakening

EQUUS. Not only was I not blown away by the show, but the seats we were in (I didn't select them...a friend did and I paid her back) were most definitely obstructed view and should never have cost $125 or whatever we paid.

And even at $10, LES LIASONS at Roundabout was a snooze fest.

Young Frankenstein. It was good, but not worth $120. I understand they probably needed to charge a lot with all the effects, but they should have just made the show better! Now I feel like I should have waited and gotten the $45 tickets and then I would've felt fine.

I feel bad I spent $101 seeing dirty rotten in previews.I went in blindly, thinking it'd be phenomenal since norbert, sherie, and Joanna were in it. It was good, but the bathroom humor was a major turn off. I saw jersey boys for free in London thank god. Just one big las Vegas attraction.

Young Frankenstein!


>>I just paid full price for a ticket to Road Show. I shouldn't have, but I did. Now I just hope it's worth it. <<

I did as well and didn't regret it. Well, technically, I got a student ticket but still!

Jekyll and Hyde. What a crapfest that was.

"Jekyll and Hyde. What a crapfest that was. "
Pshh! Well it would totally depend on the production...I wasted many a full-price dollar ticket on some bad Jekyll productions!

My biggest regret was SP3: The Scarlet Pimpernel on Broadway (with Carolee/Bohmer/Kudisch); full price for a scaled down version of a show I had seen in better form 6 months prior...!

Others:
The Civil War (clearly)
Saturday Night Fever

Cry Baby
Spring Awakening (MY FAVROITE but I got the discount code later for the onstage cheap seats rather than pay full for one in the audience)

little mermaid. great cast, great seats and an AWFUL show.

$110 for the revival of La Cage Aux Folles. I should have gone to see Laugh Whore like i was planning, but no i had to change my mind.

I *just* paid full price to see 33 VARIATIONS...
I'm crossing my fingers early for this one.

Well, White Christmas, but not because of discounts. The show lacked substance and genuine energy. A lot of plastered-on smiles, though. :)

Hell I regret paying the student rush price for Tarzan. I keep talking about how if that ticket didn't cost me more then around 25 bucks I would have complained to the box office.
