no more seeeats for Wickeeeed

According to Playhouse Square's website, every performance of the two-week Cleveland run of Wicked is sold out, except for a few single seats. I've already seen Wicked from the upper upper balcony in Toronto, so I was hoping to get a closer glimpse this time, but since 80% of the seats were already taken in presale (before they went on public sale Friday), I guess that won't happen. Even Friday morning, when I checked online, a "best available" single seat was putting me in row UU of the orchestra.

They've already added additional performances for other cities, so maybe they'll see the success of the Cleveland run and swing back this way. It looks like the earliest would be next summer. Hopefully all the Richie Riches will have Wicked out of their system and not gobble up all the tickets again so us poor slobs can see it without opera glasses (or at all). Or if my friends really want to see it again, we could make a trip to Chicago to see their permanent installation of it.

Dud dud, seriously - come to Chicago and see it. It's awesome, although I don't if Ana Gastayer is in it anymore. Plan ahead, it's still hard to get decent seats.

And you could visit Tom and I! :)

We'll definitely hire you guys to be our tour guides if/when we visit. :) I think it might be cool to take the train, even though it comes through Elyria at 4 a.m. Unfortunately, Amtrak isn't much cheaper than driving a car there, but it removes the hassle of parking and driving in the city. Ah, public transit. Too bad all Cleveland has is the Slowpid.
