Alyssa and I paid twenty-five bucks each and saw the Producers on broadway from the sixth row orchestra.
You know about the standing room? That's where students and young peoples get their tickets for about twenty bucks and have to stand in the back of the theater during the first number. Then the ushers go find them scattered seats up front. If there aren't any vacancies, tough luck. We planned to do that for Spamalot, but the Spam sold out of standing room seats within ten minutes of opening that morning. So we went to get seats for Producers, and wound up with sixth row seats for all of twenty-five bucks, withOUT having to go Standing room. Alyssa worked some kind of magic that got us into the show.
The "Springtime for Hitler" number had me rolling on the floor, laughing, and performing the roflcopter manuever everyone SAYS they do but no one has the guts to prove they can.
I'm in New York with Alyssa at her school, SUNY New Paltz. It's the hippiest town ever. There's hippie stores, hippie gatherings, hippies left and right. They're like Ninjas were back in the 80's--you can't walk down the stairs without tripping over a hippie.
I'll write more later.
