I will be in New York the week ending July 4th. I'd like to try a lottery for a matinee on July 3rd (Some shows have special matinees that Friday, instead of 2 shows on the 4th of July.)
I'm debating whether I should try Shrek or Hair. Their drawings are at different times, so I could possibly try both. Which one is easier to win/less crowded? Which one offeres better lotto seats?
Thanks!

Between those two shows: I wouldn't even CONSIDER Shrek.
Hair is the way to go.

Wow. What an easy choice. HAIR.
It's a harder lotto to win, but MAN is it worth it. And if you lose, try for standing room. They're just as much $$ and they offer just as much cast interaction, but you have to stand the whole show. But, again, SOOOOOOOO worth it. Best production of the year. By far.

Should I still try the Shrek lotto first and sell those tickets if I can get tickets to Hair? Do Hair's lotto seats offer audience/cast interaction?

If you're really dead set on seeing SHREK, yes. Try their lotto and sell them somehow if you win HAIR. But pleeeeeeeease for your own sake, try and see HAIR if you can somehow get tickets.

Ohhhhhh yeah. Hahaha.

Posted: 6/8/09 at 4:46pmI applied for tickets to Regis and Kelly for that day, so if I get them, I would only have the opportunity to do the Hair lotto. The website says their lotto seats are the boxes. How does the cast get up there?

Posted: 6/8/09 at 4:50pmThey're connected to the mezzanine, there is a stairwell leading up to them from the orchestra, and there are ladders connected to them from the stage. So... they get up there in many ways.
