I usually don't get this crazy excited for shows, but it's my favorite Shakespeare piece (and, arguably, the best play ever written) and one of my favorite actors in one place. So, needless to say, I've essentially been counting down the minutes until July 18th to buy my tickets.
Who else has bought their seats? I'm seeing the second preview (September 13th, 3pm) from Mezz. Row L, Seat 108. Soooooo excited!!
(I feel like a total loser for making this a thread but I'm so excited.)

You bought the ticket the moment they went on sale and that's the seat you got?
I might buy a ticket soon, I have to see.

I'm waiting 'til the next I'm in the city to just buy my ticket at the box office to avoid those fees, but I'm pretty excited too.

Posted: 7/18/09 at 1:38amYeah I got the $25 seat. I love HAMLET and Jude, but I love having money more.

Posted: 7/18/09 at 2:31amI tried to buy the ticket through telecharge, but the best seat was M or N row in center orchestra. Other seats A to K rows have been already sold?

"You travel alone because other people are only there to remind you how much that hook hurts that we all bit down on. Wait for that one day we can bite free and get back out there in space where we belong, sail back over water, over skies, into space, the hook finally out of our mouths and we wander back out there in space spawning to other planets never to return hurrah to earth and we'll look back and can't even see these lives here anymore. Only the taste of blood to remind us we ever existed. The earth is small. We're gone. We're dead. We're safe."

Not me.
I am waiting for Nathan Lane to do it. Once you have seen Olivier do it (even on film) why bother with anyone else.

Posted: 7/18/09 at 1:42pmGot my cheap seats! It's a great intimate theater, so the rear mezz is a great seat. Anyone think this may get overshadowed by that little Hugh Jackman show going on.

Posted: 7/18/09 at 1:44pmGotta love cheap seats!! yay.
#18re: Who bought their tickets for HAMLET??
Posted: 7/18/09 at 1:45pmI don't think it'll be overshadowed. Jude Law is as big a star as Hugh Jackman and he's in a well-known show.

Eh, I've seen it already. And I've seen better. ^_^
(I can't afford to get to Broadway in the immediate future, just let me get my superiority complex where I can, okay?)

I'll take any chance I can to see a production of HAMLET. Good, bad, or in between.

When it finally gets there, I want a full comparison report from anyone who also saw the Shakespeare in the Park production the other year. I may be completely devoted to the memory of the RSC production, but I'm still jealous you guys got Lauren Ambrose as Ophelia. <3 <3 <3
