So, what's everyone seeing on June 9th?

Posted: 6/8/09 at 4:12am

Seeing a show's first performance after the Tonys is one of my new favorite things to do- the electricity in the theatre is so amazing. Just curious as to what everyone's going to be seeing on Tuesday. I'll be at HAIR (bought tix the second week of May), can't wait!

ps- for anyone going to WSS I would be curious to hear if Karen receives entrance applause, please.

Can't get down on Tuesday, but Saturday I'll be seeing "Hair." That performance took a "we'll see what's at TKTS" to "we have to see this" even if we're in the nosebleeds.

I was lucky to win the Hair lotto the other day, and yes it is a must see.

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

Definitely "Hair" on Saturday now...miraculously, two orchestra seats opened up with the discount code since I checked last night and I grabbed them.

Can't wait!!!!

Looks like (at least so far) both "Hair" and "BE" did NOT raise their Rear Mezz pricing... good for them !!

Gross.

Why is that 'gross'?

That's part of the thrill of attending the first post-Tony performance. The electricity in the air, and the additional acknowledgement for the winners.

Entrance applause is absolutely acceptable, and appropriate. Especially on 'Tony Tuesday'.

Yes MiracleElixir, please tell us why that's gross.

Karen won, she certainly deserves applause her first night back after winning the Tony.

Of course!

I hate to admit how many times I've gone but this should be a very memorable performance.
