Who wants my GGLAM ticket?

I know this is a little last-minute, but I'd like to see Fiddler tomorrow night instead of GGLAM, since I've already seen it. It's balcony A8, face value of $42, paid just over $50 with taxes and fees, and I'm asking $40 OBO.

Just PM me and we can talk details.

You might get more interest if you wrote out what GGLAM stands for.  People on the street don't run around saying GGLAM.

And most people on a theater website DO KNOW what it stands for.

I had to think about it.  At first I thought it was like maybe a gay(er) version of Fashion Rocks or something.  Or an award show involving RuPaul's cast.

Isn't the balcony like the worst one on Broadway...? Because it used to hold the lights or something? Like it's almost touching the ceiling?

I was thinking like the GLAAD awards for some reason... my brain is playing tricks on me... had to think on it for a sec.

I guess in a rare turn of events, the demerit goes to dramamama this time!

I've sat staring at things like WSS or TKAI for minutes upon minutes, only to realize it's West Side Story or The King and I. It's only takes a few seconds of your time to type it out, and if it saves everyone else 30 seconds, then you've saved us around an hour combined. For example what is AGYG? It's not an obscure show at all.

 OMG. As my DSIL says "it only takes a minute to type out names", and my BFF and NRND agree. WTF is GGLAM, I wondered?   It took me a while but I finally FIO -- and I've even seen the show twice.  TKAI,  A,  SOR, and B are other current musicals which don't quite cause instant recognition like perhaps BOM  or LM does.  My FAV was when someone talked about POO and I finally guessed that must be Phantom of Opera (I guess "the" doesn't deserve its own letter. 

Anyway, I think your title was wrong.  I believe it should be AGGTLAM.   But I guess even that was too long for you?

I'm pretty sure it's gentleman's guide to love and murder

The marketing team has been using #GGLAM throughout the run, putting it on Facebook photos and Twitter, as well as the promotional pamphlets.  (So even though it probably should have been AGGTLAM, I;m sure the marketing team though GGLAM looked better!)

Well aren't y'all just a bucket of Georgia peaches. Had I known people felt so seriously about the subject, I'd've copy/pasted the entire cast, crew, and production credits, lest I cause any confusion over WHICH production of Gentleman's Guide I meant. ??

 

Thanks for keeping this on the first page, though, I guess.

have there been any other productions of it on Broadway?

I think Freeadmission was talking about different casts. But sorry youre not seeing Burnstein in FOTR. You'll laugh more than would at Fiddler, so yay!

Speaking of not understanding acronyms, I thought FOTR = Fellowship of the Rings, until I saw the word 'fiddler'.... then I had to say wait a minute... and looked up LOTR and sure enough it's musical! The heck! Likely very old news to some but news to me. Too funny! (That's LORD OF THE RINGS for those of you non-fantasy-geek folk.)
