Posted: 5/6/11 at 11:38amI will also travel east from the midwest to see this production on June 18th. I'm also a Kennedy Center virgin so I'm looking forward to both seeing the show and the interior of the building for the first time.

I'm seeing it Thursday night. I'll probably be back again, but haven't bought any tickets yet.
I hope you virgins all love the Kennedy Center. Enter through the Hall of Nations, not the Hall of States. It's farther from the Eisenhower, but it's a much better first impression. And check out the upstairs terrace. The view along the Potomac is amazing on spring evenings.

when are they going to release more cast photos? That one was too much of a tease! I wish we could see a couple production shots.
Going June 7th - can't wait.

Posted: 5/6/11 at 12:46pmOrangeskittles, thanks for the tips. I got the last Orchestra center seat available for the evening performance on June 18th. Row J almost center. I just about pee'd my pants with excitement because I had to go to a weekend performance due to travel and that was the only center seat left during the whole run.

I am going tomorrow, May 7.
Then again on June 1 and June 18.
I also have tickets for Memorial Day Weekend, but I'm thinking of exchanging them for another date...or selling them.
