I don't know that it'd get recorded seeing as how there is a CD of this cast. A nice one, actually. Though I wouldn't argue with it, that's for sure.

I appreciate the range of prices, I mean there are some 500 dollar tickets, but there are also 77 and 52 dollar options for those of us who... don't have 500 bucks.

Now what would you say if today I started over? Without a thing but this taped together four leaf clover And I'll pretend like everything is already alright And I'll run toward the sun till the castle's out of sight

Exactly LeaGirl! It's nice that there's a benefit the "common folk" can attend. :)

I wish I could go!!! Maybe I'll be able to save some money-but it'll probablly only be $500 tickets by then....

I was suprised that Sherie Rene Scott was going to be there, isn't she only in like 2 songs?

Sherie was in the ensemble too so she'll be singing most of the time but that's sort of the fun of this - there are a lot of people in this who are now bigger names and were in the ensemble of Tommy. Out of Christian Hoff, Alice Ripley, Norm Lewis, and Sherie... Sherie actually had the BIGGEST part in Tommy. If you discount the fact that most of the time, Alice was on as Mrs Walker for whatever reason.

It's a reunion for charity, not a reflection of how big a name they are now.

I haven't bought my ticket yet, but I am NOT gonna miss this event. I can't wait. I feel like I haven't seen Michael Cerveris in ages.

I just had a question for any "Tommy" buff.. How big is Sally Simpsons role and how much does she actually sing in the show? Like what songs? i am only asking because I am auditioning soon and need to know. Thanks!!

She sings in "Sally Simpson" and "Sally Simpson's Question" and in every production I've seen the actress also has an ensemble track so she's basically onstage for a large portion of the show.

I think her exact lines are:

A flash of fire, the whole place stops - Tommy is a tranquelizer,
But Sally's so hot, she risks the shot, and jumps up on the riser.

and

How can we share the great sights you are seeing, hear all the glorious music you hear?
How can we be a small part of your being, why do you seem so alive when you're near.

Tell us...tell us now...how can we be more like you?

WOW...I can't believe I remember that.

See you guys at the concert!!!!!

Don’t forget the beginning of the song:

“Tommy’s gonna beat his best tonight
I just have to see him play.
I feel so bad.
I’m sorry Dad,
I’m gonna sneak out anyway.

I’ve spent all day doing up my hair,
I’ve got to look exactly right.
Maybe he’ll see that I can be free
and I’ll get backstage tonight.”

Not sure if I got all the lyrics right on that one.

Are tickets still available? The link to purchase isnt working for me. I am using this:

I'd rather be reckless than rockless.

That link seems to be doing something weird - go look up Tommy under the "SHOW" link at the top, click on the R-Z one, then under Tommy click the "Find tickets" link, that one works.

Thank you! I got tickets.... they are crap, but hey, at least I'll be there.

I got my tickets at the Theatre. Were about $20 cheaper than buying on Telecharge. And yes...I'm on the very back row of the mez. in the center, but I honestly couldn't be happier. The first time I saw the show was on the very front row in the center. It's a nice little bookend for my Tommy Experience.

And, according to the article, ALL the cast will be there!

Everyone, that is, except Michael McElroy.

But at least we get to see Destan Owens play his part.

Will Christian Hoff still be performing in this reunion concert with his "foot injury"?

are they 100% sold out? I just got cast as Sally Simpson! And I would love to see the concert..or any production for that matter!

I don't know how recent that message was, but on the rockersonbroadway.com site there was a message stating it is "nearly sold out".

But check telecharge for it. Just to see. Might only be the really expensive tickets though.
