something weird about JLT's last day...

Posted: 2/26/05 at 9:19pm

I was thinking that me, my mom, my friend, and her mom could go see Jen's last day in Wicked. I went online to try to get tickets, but it was sold out. Even on broker sites! Listen to this-Ebay was $900!! I mean, it's not a huge deal. She's not as popular as Idina. Does anyone know where to get cheap tickets, or anything like that? The show's on April 17.

Did you try Ticketmaster, or just go directly to ebay?

Tried both. Ebay first. But ticketmaster wasn't really expensive, so my mom thought me and my friend could see it alone while my mom goes shopping in the city. It's just, my friend's mom probably won't say yes to that.

Your best bet would be to stand in the cancelation line.

yeah, that's true. I mean, I won't be completely crushed, it's just the harder we try for tickets, the more I want them.

Why is it weird that Jen's last show is sold out? Am I missing something...

What would be weird is if she fell out of her bubble during the final number of the matinee on the 16th and Megan Hilty had to do her final performances for her, and then during the evening show on the 17th she came out in the final minutes wearing a tracksuit, and so on and so forth...

DISCLAIMER: I AM NOT ADVOCATING HARM TO JLT. I'm just sayin' it would be weird.

I think its sold out more becuase its a Sunday than becuase it's JLT's last performance

I think it's sold out because it's Wicked, and Wicked is always sold out.

Commasplice - you rule.

It's been sold out since around Christmas time on ticketmaster, FYI.

And THREE people are leaving that day...

its not that suprising since a) wicked has never dipped below like 99% capacity thus far b)there are some who argue jlt is a better glinda than chenoweth, and c) george hearn and carole shelley are leaving too

BSO - assuming that the "extension" rumors aren't true, who are you including, besides JLT and Mr. Hearn?

ETA: Oh, Carole. Duh.

to reply to littlefish, it's not really weird, it's just I didn't know it would be going so fast (tickets)

Nothing about Wicked would surprise me anymore. You can try the cancellation line day of (get there really early). I would say dont even bother with the lottery since you can't do both (unless you are with someone else and one of you does cancellation while the other does lottery.) Considering what the lottery is usualy like on a SUnday, combined with the last performances and the fact that the weather probably wont be so bad, it will be packed!

Glinda can`t fall out of the bubble, she is clipped in.

Keep watching ticketmaster. I got my ticket for her last day just a few weeks ago. I had been trying and it was sold out, but then somehow a ticket was released. Just check back often.
