ATTN: Wicked fans!

[leighblack]

A while ago I threw out the question to see who might want to see Wicked when it's on tour in Chicago. I have some more details now, and an on-sale date for tickets, so I'd like to see about firming up some plans. By my count, we have a possible 12 people! Yay! So, first of all...

When: 2nd or 3rd week of May, either May 13-15 or May 20-22
How much?: I don't have prices yet, but other shows are $60-70, so I figure it should be pretty close.
Which show?: A Sat show, either the matinee or evening
Cast?: The cast hasn't been announced yet, but rumors are that Stephanie J. Block (who was just in The Boy From Oz) will be Elphaba and Kendra Kassebaum (well known to die-hard Rentheads) will be G(a)linda.

My plan right now is to see who is all in for sure, then I'll go ahead and buy all the tickets and you can mail or PayPal me the $$$. I'm aiming for either somewhere in the 10-15th rows in the orchestra, or the very front of the balcony. Since it's still a few weeks before the tickets go on sale, that should give people enough time to make up their minds. Once we get that all settled, we can work on transportation and a hotel. I'm more worried about the tickets.

If you're on the fence about it, I'd just like to say that it's a gorgeous musical! Fabulous staging, beautiful music, wonderful story. Believe me, I wouldn't take you all to see a horrible show. And you'll get to see me cry like a baby during "For Good," so that should be some incentive. ;)

Chandler, I was going to ask you if you still wanted to go to Toronto, as tickets go on sale on Monday, but I'm guessing that's out right now.

So, let me know what you think!

NO! I WANT TO GO! When's Toronto again? I don't have money for tickets by Monday but I can pay you back next month. I'll get back to you about Chicago, I'm leaning yes.

The dates for the Toronto run are March 8 - April 24, 2005. I was thinking sometime in mid-April so we might be able to avoid the snow. I would be totally willing to go during the week, since it might be easier to get tickets, but it doesn't really matter to me. Let me know what you want to do. I can float you until next month, no problem. I have no idea how much tickets are, but it's Canadian, so it can't be too bad.

a mid-April bash might be fun. It's around that time that I might be flying back and forth to LA, so we'll see. Get ticket prices back to me and I'll see what I can do.

I suppose early April will be fine too. I guess it doesn't matter much to me. I still didn't see ticket prices when I looked today, so I'm guessing they won't be announced until Monday.
