I'll be bawling at home.
I can't wait until I'm an adult so I can be unable to afford my OWN tickets, instead of blaming it on my parents.

"Hairspray and possibly 13."
They are both playing at 3:00 that day.
I will be rushing 13, and if I can't get tickets, I will see something else.

Well then, no 13 for me, Jeff. If I can come the night before I'll see the night show or something.
But I have a ticket for Hairspray's final and Hairspray > 13 ANYDAY.

I hope I'll be at Boeing-Boeing!
...and if not I would be very happy to see Hairspray for a 4th time.
However I would never even think about going to see Grease OR 13 unless I got free tickets! I've seen Grease once and 13 twice and I have no idea how either of them stayed on as long as they did (especially 13)

Out of all the shows closing that day, why the HELL would you choose 13?
Because I love it.
Two people would rather be a 13 than Hairspray?
Obviously.

I'll be in the city christmas weekend seeing a bunch of new stuff...but I was able to grab a ticket for Boeing,Boeing the day the announcement became official.
I will be burning candles, in own private vigil.
I'll be in the city MLK weekend and am NOT looking forward to see/feel the difference of the theater district.
If we're not having fun, then why are we doing it?

Are you kidding people?
See the final show of..
-An 8-time Tony Winner
-The 19th longest running show in Broadway history
-A show with two of its Tony winning lead actors reprising their roles, one being the iconical Harvey Fierstein
...or see the final show of 13, Boeing Boeing or the umpteenth revival of Grease? Hmmmmm. Tough one for me (No offense to the first two shows. I know very little about them).
HAIRSPRAY all the way!! It's going to be an amazing night with, I suspect, a good number of recognizable names in the audience.
Can't wait!
