Chances of seeing all the Plastics or leads on in one night is slim. This cast calls out more often than a Hamilton company deep in the run. I heard they all have it in their contracts that they can call out whenever to pursue other projects.
I rushed on Friday. It was 20 degrees the entire morning, and by the time the box office opened there were maybe 20-25 people. I arrived at 7am and got orch row C18-20.
It was worth it, but the bitter cold was so unbearable at times so that's probably why the line wasn't too long.
Definitely upgrade! I was in A2, and my friend was in A4. I think A2 has less blockage from the chair on stage, and it is surreal to see it from so close up. Worth the $30! I'll definitely be coming back to see the show again.
