When it comes to Sondheim, no one is allowed to make a mistake, snooch.
snooch: I'm just kidding, don't kill me.

The choosing was not...

I'll be seeing Sunday right before heading to the closing performance of APPLAUSE in Feb. Can't wait.
"Some people can thrive and bloom living life in a living room, that's perfect for some people of one hundred and five. But I at least gotta try, when I think of all the sights that I gotta see, all the places I gotta play, all the things that I gotta be at"
if the world is lucky, they will record it and present it on PBS so those of us who make next to nothing and cannot see their 2nd favorite show of ALL TIME in New York will be able to see it.
"Whenever I get gloomy with the state of the world, I think about the arrivals gate at Heathrow Airport. General opinion's starting to make out that we live in a world of hatred and greed, but I don't see that. It seems to me that love is everywhere. Often it's not particularly dignified or newsworthy, but it's always there - fathers and sons, mothers and daughters, husbands and wives, boyfriends, girlfriends, old friends. When the planes hit the Twin Towers, as far as I know none of the phone calls from the people on board were messages of hate or revenge - they were all messages of love. If you look for it, I've got a sneaky feeling you'll find that love actually is all around."
I'm seeing it February 9 as well! Cannot wait for this show.
I am a firm believer in serendipity- all the random pieces coming together in one wonderful moment, when suddenly you see what their purpose was all along.

HIPTIX are only $21.25 each. You can afford that, can't you?

WannaBe, I'm not sure if this is the case with JR, but for those of us who don't live in the city it's $20, plus hotel, plus food, plus plane ticket...at the end of the day it's quite a lot to see a show you love. I feel incredibly fortunate that I can (barely) afford it, but it is pretty tough to make it there to watch some of these great productions. Having said that, there's only a fantastic DVD of the original production out there, as radically different as this revival is supposed to be, it makes no sense (in terms of money) to record this production for commercial release.

Sweetestsiren, at least now you know about the $20 tickets. I found out about them literally about a day after I bought my $30 ticket (and yes, the $10 make a difference to the poor people like me).
