Spring Awakening 12/21: Full House

I first saw Spring Awakening last Saturday. I loved it so much that i needed to see it again before I went home for the holidays. So I planned to line up at 9am for Student Rush tickets. Due to unforeseen circumstances, I got to the box office around a quarter past 10 in the morning and there were no more tickets left. The guy at the box office said they sold fifty that day and they were all gone 10 minutes after the box office opened. Really wanting to see the show again, I decided to pay $65 for discounted seats, first row front mezzanine, towards the left. They were pretty good seats and the show was amazing as usual. The audience this time seemed more enthusiastic about the show as compared to last Saturday. Again, the standing ovation began even before the cast came out for the curtain call. They came out at least 3 times before the audience stopped applauding.

But here's the really good news, at the stage door, I was briefly talking to John Gallagher and I mentioned how the student rush seats got sold pretty quickly. He said that over the past week, they've been playing to almost a full house. However, this Wednesday's show was the first sold-out show they've had and the first time they offered Standing Room tickets. This is a good sign and I hope this continues. Fingers Crossed, Spring Awakening will run way after the Tony's.

"Fingers Crossed, Spring Awakening will run way after the Tony's."

First, I'd hope that it runs until the Tony's before trying to go for after them. But here's hoping!

a friend of mine told me the Barnes and Noble in PA was completely sold out of the CD too

Well Wednesday the guy at the box office told me that the first person was in line at 9am. Since the show is gaining popularity and it is for Friday, I say go around 8 or 8:30 just to be safe.

thanks blueram- ill probably be there around 8:15 or 8:20

1 more question- if i have a student ID for my sister, but she isnt there at the box office with me, could i still get her a ticket using her ID? i dont think so, but just wondering...

You can get 2 tickets for 1 person who has a student ID I think. So. If you do have an ID, you can get a ticket for yourself and your sister. But if you need more than two, I don't think you can use your sister's ID without her being there.

thanks again, blueram
yeah, we have 3 people (my sister, myself, and a friend)
so we might just pay full price for a 3rd ticket
yeah, thanks!

ahh this is soo exciting!

I just got my onstage ticket for January. I'm SO excited!

If trying to obtain rush tickets fail, Spring Awakening has been on TKTS every night.

Glory, TKTS has been open EVERY Morning selling tickets to the Radio City show. They open at 3 for evening. They have their standard hours, like every show, and like every show, they adjust as needed for holidays.

Just because the rush seats are selling out doesn't mean that the show is making boffo bucks. Being on TKTS every night doesn't exactly spell HIT.
