Posted: 7/19/09 at 8:36amI would think do to the lack of "groupies" that WSS would be marginally easier....but so not worth it.

Posted: 7/19/09 at 8:42amI agree--this production of West Side Story isn't worth the $26.50 or the time and energy required to enter the lottery. Go with Hair.

Posted: 7/19/09 at 8:52amSo Hair is better and easier to win than WSS?

Posted: 7/19/09 at 9:19amWSS only calls about 9 names, it's 18 tickets. Hair is somewhere around 30 tickets I believe, so your chances are better there. Both lottos tend to be crowded but the odds seem to be better at Hair. I gotten in all 3 times I played Hair lotto, but didn't get into WSS until about the 9th time trying. Good luck at whichever you try!

haha, only at Hair though, usually I'm not the lucky one. Two of the times I played were randomly not very crowded. The first time back in April, just about everyone there got in, so maybe that doesn't really count.

Posted: 7/19/09 at 9:59amDon't waist your time at the WSS lotto, it will just make you upset. The guy there is absolutely awful, he's so moody. You can not ask him any question without him snapping at you. I pretty much have stopped doing that lotto because it's so miserable. Hair is a fun lotto!

Posted: 7/19/09 at 11:12amVery true, vis-a-vis the lotto guy at West Side Story. He seemed like he wanted to be anywhere but the Palace Theatre. Not to mention the fact that I have a strong sense that the lottery--like most Broadway lottos--is rigged. The first night I tried it, four of the nine people pulled had the same surname--a surname shared by a cast member. Coincidence? Probably not.

The guy at WSS was very irritable. And I think the way they do it would be very easy to rig it. All they have to do is have pockets inside of that little bag that they can slip the preferred names into. That said, I don't know if they do rig it and yesterday did the lottery for the first time and won. I thoroughly enjoyed the show and found parts of to be very moving. And the lottery on a Saturday was surprisingly uncrowded. Guess the tourists already have their tickets and the New Yorkers were out of town. I don't think there were 50 people there, maybe slightly more. Good luck!
