Les Miserables 25th Anniversary Concert in Movie Theaters -- who's going?

[kec]

Just wondering...
Les Miserables 25th Anniversary Concert Performance information

[ClapYo'Hands]

Don't bother, it's not that good! xD

[LizzieCurry]

I am! Checking in from the SF Bay Area. :)

[Cape Twirl of Doom]

I would be, except I'm seeing La Cage that night!

[kec]

As am I, going to be in Fairfax VA.

[KChenowethfan]

I'm going to a showing in Arlington, VA. Why there is not a single movie theatre showing it in Washington, DC proper, I will never know. At least one theatre is metro accessible.

[singtopher]

I've got tech all flippin' day.

[hottieho13]

I'm going!!!! sacramento finally gets something good!

[kec]

I thought that very strange that there was no theater in DC showing it.

[jasonf]

If I didn't have my night conferences, I would go. Last year it was The Wizard of Oz, this year it's Les Mis. Not fair.

[p.s.]

I had (via a gift card that was redeemed two days before discounts were announced) full-price tickets (best-available, yet not-so-great seats) to Spider-Man (Row U). Upon hearing that there would be no November 17th performance, I reserved tickets to the Les Miserables 25th Anniversary Concert (Garden State Plaza, Paramus). I also bought tickets for four friends in L.A. who will be arriving to the theater there as we're finishing here.


p.s. I mailed in my Spider-Man tickets and got a replenished gift card.

pps: Even though not all of the L.A. friends are 65, I was able to get them all Senior Citizen tickets for $16.00 apiece. Regular priced Adult tickets would have cost $16.00.

ppps: Regarding Arlington, VA -- Isn't Arlington actually closer to Washington, DC proper than most of Washington, DC?

[LizzieCurry]

I was able to get two-for-one tickets thanks to some deal with my Chase credit card. Not sure if this is still valid, but it worked for me at an AMC theater.

Taking my daughter in Albany NY.

Do any of these Fathom events actually sell out?

[jpbran]

You got them discount senior tix for $16 but then say the regular priced tix are $16? I must have missed something... :-o

And count me also surprised nobody's lined it up for DC -- it's even on here in Nashville and has actually sold out.

[p.s.]

When I bought my tickets, the Adult ticket price was listed at $15 plus a service charge of $1, for a total of $16. The Senior price was also listed, at $15 plus a service charge of $1, for a total of $16.

Additionally, there was a Child price listed. That price was $15 plus a service charge of $1, for a total of $16. (But we didn't care about that because my friends are childless.)


p.s. At least one L.A. theater with reserved seats, Century City, was virtually sold out as of last Friday (had front row only). A different theater, with open seating (Woodland Hills), was 40% available.

pps: Talking about front row -- On Sunday I'll be seeing Les Miserables, the New 25th Anniversary Production, opening this weekend at the Paper Mill Playhouse. As of a few minutes ago, the website showed as available Seats A101 and A102.

"Do any of these Fathom events actually sell out?"

Don't know -- it appears that most of the venues in Virginia still have tickets available.

[CapnHook]

I'm going to Union Square location. I was to have seen SPIDER-MAN that night as well, but seeing as they aren't yet ready, I figure I'll check out this "concert" and see how it is.

[adamgreer]

Is there going to be a DVD release of this?

[CapnHook]

Yes, and it's released next month. Or at least that is what my roommate tells me.

[Hest882]

Yep, also checking in from the SF Bay Area!

[AwesomeDanny]

I was hoping to go, but then I got sick today. I really want to see this, so I'm hoping for a DVD release. At least I'm going to see the national tour, which I'm really excited for.

[LizzieCurry]

The DVD is being released this month in the UK. The US hasn't been announced yet.

[kec]

There is a video clip somewhere on BWW that previews the DVD; there was a comment in the article that seemed to indicate a U.S. release next year sometime.

[adamgreer]

Yeah, I knew the U.K. was getting a DVD, just wasn't sure about the U.S. Good to know that it seems like a distinct possibility.

[themysteriousgrowl]

I was gonna wait for the DVD, but the fun of seeing it on a big screen is too much to pass up. There are two theaters playing it in Pittsburgh. Bizarre.
