I miss Spelling Bee. I havent seen it in... 1 month and 9 days. I need to go back and do lotto again, for the 5th win hopefully!

I'm hoping to win a 5th time tomorrow too, Ariel. But it's only been 8 days since I've seen it...lol

I just booked my ticket to Chicago for Memorial Day Weekend. Who is going to come to Bee with me??

Favorite lines from the show tonight:

Leaf Coneybear, responding to Marcy Park being a representative of Virginia: "Virginia is for lovers" (instead of That's a beautiful country)

Logainne, in her speech: "President Bush is doing a fantastic job...April Fools!!!"

Alright Bees, I need some help. I know this has probably been asked 901920908778 times.

When can you put your name in for the lotto and when are they drawn?

I'm planning to try on April 18, but would also like to try for other shows if possible. Thanks!

You put your name in 2 hours before the show, and they are drawn an hour and a half before, right? Thats half an hour later than most shows, I think. I've never not done lotto for Bee, lol. (Every time I have seen it/done lotto, I won)

When they are in the lobby picking audience members to participate in the show, who actually does the picking? Can you answer that Liotte?

There are staff members who work at the theater who do the picking, I don't think the cast has any say. They give Rona Lisa Peretti and Panch the list of names right before the show starts.

One of my favorite 'different' lines was Logainne's (in reference to Dick Cheney): "My dads say that's one man they'll never get behind."

I'm going to be buying tickets for a show in July and was wondering if someone could tell me the best place to sit. I see it's a circle in the round theater but I don't want to miss things happening.
Any thoughts?
Thanks!

I think that all seats are pretty good. If you are close to the front (And even the last row) on either side, I think those are really good. I have sat on the side, both sides, once in the second row and twice in the 6th, (and once in the bleacher seats in the center) all the way towards the wall, and those seats are still really good, except from the 6th row, you cant see all of the back wall and door, but its not a big deal.


Also, throught the show, the cast is always in different aisles and stuff, so it happens all around.

I suggest rows A-F, either in the middle orchestra (any seat) or on the sides (A-F from 100 to 130 or 200 to 230). Sorry, that's really specific!

Some of Rona's adlibs from went we went:

"Mitch's fly is open! Just kidding!"
"Mitch was President of the Student Council, running under the slogan, when you think white guy, think of me."

The fly one is funny!

I thought I'd give a little auctioning update. Anyone in SF interested in Leaf Coneybear's(Stanley Bahorek) number card should come to Spelling Bee Saturday night. They're going to be auctioning it off.

Liotte! I was Marigold Sunday! It was so awesome!

[liotte]

Posted: 4/5/06 at 5:32pm

That's so fun! I have seats for the Marigold area on Saturday night, but I don't think they would pick me. Too distracting.

[MyMeredithMonster]

Posted: 4/5/06 at 5:36pm

Well, good luck anyway! I hope they pick you!

Have you ever been Mari before?

Btw: my new avatar is of me with Aaron (Chip) after that show. :P

I've met him once in NYC, he was nice.
I've never been Marigold, as I usually have SRO or lotto seats.

I am spreading the love because Spelling Bee is coming to LA in May 2007.

[MyMeredithMonster]

Posted: 4/5/06 at 7:17pm

He really is. The whole cast is super nice actually.

This was the first week we had really good seats (it was b/c it was my friend Becca's b-day) and it was amazing.

Way cool about LA. I wonder who will be in the cast...

fyi there was a big o' ad in the paper today for Macy's 10th Annual Petacular at Macy's Herald Square, which included:

Watch a live performance from Broadway's The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee!
Sunday, April 9th at 1pm
The Barnyard Stage
Join us as cast members electrify the crowd with a special performance of the offbeat tale of six adolescents competing for the spelling championship of a lifetime! After their performance, cast members will judge contestants' in our very own spelling bee; you may be selected to participate!

(any typos are mine.) Not sure how a spelling bee fits in to all of the other animal events they have going on that day, (pet breakfast, pet parade, etc.), but there you go.

What is The Barnyard Stage?

[Anakela]

Posted: 4/5/06 at 9:35pm

No clue- maybe it's just some area renamed that just for the Petacular?
