Hi y'all. I have two questions that I really am needing answers to.
First off: The Rent tour. I live in sunny Las Vegas and am actually surprised (or just upset I suppose) that it isn't coming here, but I'd be happy to go to AZ or CA for it. I just am wondering, if I go to those dates (mid-March) when should I buy tickets? It seems pretty far away but any help would be greatly appreciated.
Second: After I read that Lin-Manuel Miranda is leaving In The Heights, I realized that I have to go out there to see the show again before he leaves. So if I were to go in late January/early February, what other shows (assumedly) will be playing? Basically I'm asking for suggestions of shows to see since I haven't been since July and already a large number of the shows I've seen (A Chorus Line, Xanadu, Rent, [tos], Legally Blonde) are closed/will be by the time I go. When is Hairspray closing again? I could be wrong, but aren't these three coinciding around the same time: Hairspray's end/at least the end of Harvey's return, ITH losing its originator, and Gypsy losing Patti and (I'm guessing) closing. Please correct me if I'm wrong here. Because that seems like such a powerhouse month to go and I can't see myself missing any of those things (I want to see ITH again, I swore to myself I would see Gypsy a third time before it closes, and I've always wanted to see Harvey in a show, especially Hairspray).
Okay I lied. I also have a third question. I've been listening to The Wedding Singer (also - Bare: A Pop Opera and WHOAH is that hitting me in the holy-crap-is-this-happening-spot) and am slightly confused about something. In Not That Kind Of Thing, since I can't really distinguish the voices that well, it seems like the two people who say they are brother and sister later on (in the same song) sing the part "And I wonder...", alluding to some kind of feelings for her? I am POSITIVE I'm just 100% wrong here, but I just don't know the show that well, so am confused. Hell, up until a week ago when a blog I was sooo sure that it would be the PERFECT high school show (I recently added a major in theater so I can teach it and direct shows) to do. Then I read about George and various other non-kosher items. Grrrr.
Anyway, the first two are what I really wonder about but feel free to help with number 3 if you're so inclined. Thanks!
