Opinions please

If the Broadway show "Wicked" were coming to your town, would you go see it?

Tickets for the show go on sale here tomorrow.

Mid priced tickets are approx $100/US each and I'd be buying 4.

The venue is allowing people to line up at midnight tonight and it is expected to sell out quickly.

My family is not dying to see it, but I think they would enjoy the spectical of it if nothing else. I really want to see it.

It would be a Christmas gift, but the show doesn't open here until Spring 09, so I'm thinking they'll be like WTH????

I want to go see it, but the cheapo, nosebleed seats here start at $110. The decent seats go for about $300...so it ain't happening. sad

I would go, but you should go with a friend who wants to see it as well.

Buying tickets for people who aren't that anxious to go would make me sad confused
If you will, so will I

It would be OK at $50 a ticket, but $100 and lining up in the cold? Not even an option.

we saw it here in MPLS recently and it was a great production. i think it would be a great night out for the family, not to mention since it's such a "hot ticket" show, it would be really special.

Thank you everyone!

I'm leaning towards getting them. My family may grumble a bit beforehand but afterwards they'll be so happy. That's just their way lol

Still thinking about it though.

Weeeeelllll....

Yeah, that's what I'll do....if I can even get through.

The line for tickets from the theater box office started at midnight. It's so long now that it is blocking traffic.

I want to get 4 of the 2nd best seats, but right now I can't even get to the online site. Since I cannot leave work now I think I'm screwed. sigh

It has been here and every time I heard an ad for it on the radio I was convinced it was a MadTV skit or something.

But people seem to eat that shit up so...I say go for it. I'm sure your family will really appreciate it.

I hear Wicked is a pretty good show. I've had friends who gave it great remarks after catching it on B'way.

See that's the thing...they get this from my hubby...they will dig in their heels to not do something they THINK they won't like.

My job is to push them to do it. I don't do it all the time, just for certain things...mainly exposure to different cultural/artisic experiences.

They do end up enjoying what I drag them to...that's the #1 reason I selectively drag them.

Thanks! It's pretty hopeless though. The site to buy the tix online has crashed, the phone line is busy x infinity and I can't get away to get to the box office.

sigh

Never say die though!

I'm not getting tix through a ticket broker deal because I do draw the line at the price jacking they charge.

Yes

hmmm


Buy yourself one and perhaps one more as a gift to someone that is very interested in seeing it (?)

400$ is a bunch of $ to take the fam if they may not be interested
