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

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.

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

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!

I once heard someone describe her (Ruthie Henshall) singing as sounding as though she's trying to swallow a whole meatball slightly larger than her windpipe. (The same person compared Michael Ball's singing to sounding as though he's sitting on a washing machine on spin cycle and Colm Wilkinson's to a man with a paralyzed lip trying to eat cottage cheese.) --- Schmerg_The_Impaler

"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

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.
