WEST SIDE STORY first preview reviews! — Page 6

no rush tickets
just a general lotto
sorry!

But since the verb is sentirse, isn't it necessary to have the noun in front of it, to conjugate the "se"?

I haven't taken Spanish in years, but as far as I remember, the verb being properly conjugated makes the noun unnecessary, so the yo is unnecessary. However, without the "me," "sentirse" isn't properly conjugated, so that much is needed.

The noun Yo (I) is not needed in Spanish- Siento means I feel.

Yes, love, but she's saying that she feels beautiful, not that she's feeling something beautiful with her hands.

Again, Siento hermosa, makes no grammatical sense.

I know iI sound like a broken record but is the Dream Ballet still shortened like it was apparantly in DC? (Remember even for Jerome Robbins Broadway it was slightly edited).

And if Officer Krupke now has "like all new choreography" who's credited?

did they have a little boy sing Somewhere? I really wish they got rid of that... although they probably didn't

Only on BroadwayWorld could a "first preview" thread turn into a sixth grade spanish lesson.

The lotto is not just for students; it is for anyone. You have to enter the lotto by filling out a slip w/name, number of tkts (2 max) and your zip code. You can begin putting your name in the bag 2.5 hrs before showtime, with the drawing 2 hrs before showtime. At about 2 minutes prior to the drawing, they stop taking names. But there really is no need to be at the theatre 2.5 hr prior, as long as you enter 5-10 minutes before the drawing, you are fine. It is not a "first-come, first-served" transaction. Tkts are $26.50 each, cash only, and photo ID is required. 18 front row seats are available on the lottery, so for the most part, that's 9 pairs, unless any of the lotto winners only want a single ticket.

What were the majors changes from Washington DC as to set design ? Is the famous zodiac thing still in ? Please tell me.

Didn't we already realize that she sings "Hoy me siento tan hermosa," which literally means "Today, I feel rather pretty." That's Lin-Manuel Miranda's translation.

I love Blaxx!! Not sure who you are, but your posts in this thread made me smile.

I in no way retract my statement because I still think it's true, but whatever.

You still think what is true? That "old ladies" should be banned from lotteries because you want the ticket? Or that lotteries should be more discriminating and exclusive based on criteria that fit your own personal profile? I get that you're mad that you didn't win, but that is how lotteries work. If everyone wins the lottery who wants it, then it is just a cheaper price point. You know what else happens at lotteries? Mobs of local student tween fans of the show do the lottery as much as they can, paying the lottery price for seeing the show umpteen million times while tourists on a budget in town for a few days miss it entirely. Perhaps the local students should be limited on the number of times they can enter a lottery? Hmm?

If the old ladies weren't upset that some young people won the lottery whose parents could afford full price tickets, it sounds like those ladies were probably more deserving of the tickets anyway, but whatever.
