Dream On -- "Lion King" Tickets $$$$$

8 years ago

I had the bright idea of treating DS and family. IF there were still any but 'single seat' tix available for this in Chicago this winter...looks like $250/ticket minimum for a matinee.

Obviously 'worth it' or it wouldn't sell out, and I know it's a huge expense to put on.

Oh well...cue up the movie!

I've seen a lot of Broadway shows on Broadway over the years. When I originally started, the tickets were $7.50....My Fair Lady, Fiddler on the Roof, Lil Abner etc. I worked my way up to $90.00 a ticket over the years. As much as I truly enjoyed every show, including Lion King, my Broadway days are over. No way would I spend $250.00 a ticket. I now buy season tickets for our local theater. Not Broadway by a long shot, but enjoyable and if for some reason I cannot go, I'm only out '$15.00. LOL

It sure is priced to ensure that the 'unwashed masses' can't attend, isn't it? We belong to our city's Broadway Theatre League, as well as other locally produced theatre associations. We love it!

We're taking the two little girls that live next door to see Beauty and the Beast in January. Can't wait for that; they don't have much in their lives and this will be something that they will never forget.

Marlene - I saw a couple of clips of "The Hoff" in J&H and yes, he was very good! Constantine Margoulis of American Idol fame will be playing the lead in the production I'm seeing. I'm curious about Book of Mormon! I know nothing about it, but the woman who sold me the package of tickets that I bought told me that by subscribing, I would be among those to get first dibs on BoM tickets, and that I absolutely should not hesitate when I receive the phone call that they've gone on sale. I've seen a few plays in London: The Importance of Being Earnest (starring Patricia Routledge), We Will Rock You (weird, but the music was great), and a production by The Reduced Shakespeare Company which was absolutely hilarious. I'm hoping Mom and I have the opportunity to see a show when we're back in the UK next year.

Tish, you're right, here in New Mexico events can be a bit more casual sometimes. I think any theater event deserves to be special, though. If we go during the week, I always wear somethings along the lines of what I wore this past Wednesday evening for the "Lion King": a pair of black dress slacks, a cream lace camisole, a brown (evening/dressy) jacket with a bold Autumny necklace. On a Friday or Saturday evening, I'll ramp it up a bit with maybe a little black dress and some special jewelry, a mid-calf dressy skirt and top, a dressy pair of black slacks and a velvet jacket, an evening suit, etc. I almost never see women wearing long dresses. They'd look overdressed around these parts. Anyhoo, I highly recommend "The Lion King" and would go again myself in a heartbeat. Lynn

I had a kitchen dream (going nuts?)

No dreams about copper appliances here, but would be happy to do so! I dream (at least monthly- minimum) about missing the bus for school. I'm 35 now. Same scenario. Running out the front door in my school skirt, down the street, trying to hit the corner before the bus goes around it. When I was in the sixth grade my mom went to japan for a month. I was deathly afraid to miss the bus, because my dad would have to come back from work. I did miss the bus and that what happened. He wasn't mad, but for some reason that stuck with me. I stopped dreaming (just few months ago) about shelving crackers. I worked for nabisco for a few years as a sales rep (almost six years ago). It was NOT my favorite job. I dream that I have to go back for money and I have to stock shelves. Makes my skin crawl. Here's to hoping for kitchens to dream about! :) Kim

Moni, listening to your own self talk during this journey has kept you safe, given you amazing adventures, fulfilled hopes, challenged others opinions of what matters in life, and now you're reinventing the journey. This isn't the end that you planned, but it's the one your true heart knows is best for you. You'll grieve the lost way for a time, but moreso you'll celebrate the journey you've been on for all the rest of your days to come! If nothing else, this is confirmation that we all need to live for today, for tomorrow might not be quite what we expect. Thank you for that lesson today, I needed it. I do believe you used the phrase "it will be what it is"..and sure enough it is! I'm glad to have shared some time with you during this amazing "race", enjoyed your trip journal, and been stunned at your tenacity. The train will be taking you home to your next adventures, and I look forward to hearing of what's to come!

For those who have the chance to travel internationally, theater in London is on the same level as NY's Broadway but tickets are significantly less expensive, including for the top shows. This isn't new, it's long been the case.
