They just released some Orchestra seats online.

It really was a magical night. Lots of fancy people, all dressed up, but also a bunch of superfans up in the balcony :) I'm not quite coherent enough for a full review, but the atmosphere was much like the first preview, including a Standing O after "Nine People's Favorite Thing."
The one thing that was super cute was that after curtain call Michael came up on stage and Hunter and Jeff each said a couple of words and got kind of choked up and it was just a beautiful moment.

Posted: 7/18/08 at 12:12am[OMG] Not a standing O, so much more like a standing [OOO]!! I brought a friend who is not a theater person, per se, and she was crying with tears of joy, understanding, and sadness about the vampires. I did wait at the door and, lordy, these kids cleaned up well for their big night. Susan looked like a goddess in her purple and gold. I. will. never. forget. it. And Hunter kissed me--I'm selling my cheek on ebay tomorrow.

Alright, I said I'd take this over here. In celebration of opening night, around the time the cast is probably a) fantastically drunk, or b) passed out in their apartments, let's compile a list of drag queen names. Here's some of Susan's (from the blog) to start:
Tiki Hut
Carol Svoracure
Coco Van
Cass Cade with Sheeting Action (her back-up dancers)
Ginger Lee
Parma Jean Cheese
Spencer Gifts
Rusty Trombone
May I just say, Carol Svoracure slays me.
