Hey guys, I was looking over the 2008 season at the Ahmanson Theatre in Los Angeles and they have some good stuff coming up, so I wanted to see if anyone was interested in seeing either of the following:
A) Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street
Playing March 11-April 6. Yes, we're all excited to see the Tim Burton/Johnny Depp extravaganza this Xmas, but there's nothing like seeing the play live on stage with the full score.
B) The Drowsy Chaperone
Playing July 8-20. This is a musical comedy which pokes fun at musical comedies. It won five Tony awards, including Best Music and Best Book (so it's well written AND sounds good
) I've heard nothing but absolute raves about this play from friends who saw it in New York.
Other things coming to the Ahmanson: The Color Purple (Dec 13-Mar 9), My Fair Lady (April 9-27), A Chorus Line (May 21-July 6), 9 to 5, A New Musical (Sep 3-Oct 19), but those didn't seem as interesting to me.
Single tickets are available like a month before the shows BUT there's a 10% discount if we have 15 people interested in going, and those are available for immediate purchase.
Anyway, I just wanted to see the interest factor for going -- I'm definitely seeing both of these, so even if 15 people aren't interested we can still get a small group together!
Mods: Can you please add a poll to this? I added a poll and apparently it took more than 5 minutes, and it won't let me, which is dumb. Multiple options, public responses, 4 options (Sweeney, Drowsy, Other, and Musicals are Gay.) Also, I misspelled "Sweeney" in the title. What's wrong with me today, geeeebus!!!
