waiting for the other shoe to drop

[tattooedsiren]

So I got an email about tickets for Equus being available through broadway.com and there was flailing and squeeing on my flist about stage seats, so I thought I would buy a ticket to another show and try my luck. I went to the broadway.com website but there was no mention of stage seats, so I went to telecharge.com and looked for tickets there. I looked at stage seating, but for some reason it made me nervous, so I decided to see what other normal seats I would be able to get for the same performance, thinking it would be in the back half of the theatre like my seat for the first show I'm going to.

It wasn't. It was third row from the front, aisle seat.

I quickly snapped up the ticket, even though part of me is waiting for it to all be revealed as a massive mistake. I thought seats that close would be part of the premium $250 seating and I'm not paying that much. Then I thought I was reading the seating chart wrong, but in the description it stated third row from front.

Here are the details. Someone reassure me that I'm not dreaming and I actually did score awesome tickets:

Thursday, December 18, 2008 at 8:00 PM
1 Ticket, Center Orchestra Row A, Seat 101
Total Cost: $126.00



*flails*

I also bought a ticket to The Little Mermaid. :O) That brings the total of show bought for my NYC trip to four (2 x Equus, 1 x The Little Mermaid, 1 x Cirque du Soleil). I am intrigued by Shrek, and since its opening while I'm there I will have to buy in advance. Otherwise, unless something awesome comes up, I am going to buy all my other tickets while I'm there.

In other news, I seriously hurt my back yesterday. I had to leave work I was in so much pain. Chiro had a go at it so hopefully I will feel better soon - although the only other time I have had this problem, in Dec of last year, I'm convinced the only reason I got better was the week away from work, (ie sitting at my desk all day long) and not the multiple trips to the chiro.

As such, I probably wont be online much the next few days, so I obviously wont be checking my flist. I have a fic I want to post maybe tonight but apart from that it will only be very short stints at the computer (ie checking my email and thats it) so if you have something you want me to see please link me.

Oh, and I am about a third of the way through Breaking Dawn, so no spoliers about that thanks.
:O)

Hope everyone out there is doing well.

If you're in the mood to lol, may I recommend [title of show]?

Its my current favorite musical. =]

www.titleofshow.com for more info.

[tattooedsiren.livejournal.com]

I have heard of that. Would it be something I would be able to get tickets for when I'm there or would I have to buy them in advance?

[xc0l0rful.livejournal.com]

You'd be able to get tickets at the box office. Can't guarantee the best seats that way though. XD

[tattooedsiren.livejournal.com]

That's cool. I dont really want to buy too many more tickets before I go coz I dont want each night's activities already determined for me. I will definitely put it on my list of things to see. :O)

not to discount the chiro but for me physical therapy helped me the most I got taught some core strengthening exercises that helped alot I also attended a series of classes called DBC which helped to strengthen my back muscles also if you sit a lot a helpful thing is a small lumbar support pillow.
Good luck also when in severe pain the best remedy is to fold a towel in thirds and lie with the towel going down your spine on your back face up this seems to relax the vertebrae and help with the pain you can even sleep with it.

Thanks for the advice. :O)

[acoustics1220.livejournal.com]

I *think* you got a good ticket...it's on the 2nd level...and the front row (I've been on that row, in the very center - UH-MAZING view). Hope you enjoy it! :)

[tattooedsiren.livejournal.com]

By reading the description it sounds like a good ticket but I still cant quite believe it. LOL.

[chocky-mousse.livejournal.com]

Congrats on getting tickets! =)

[tattooedsiren.livejournal.com]

Thanks. :O)

[alexi-lupin.livejournal.com]

OMG AWESOME! Is that DanRad or is it a new cast for Broadway? D'you reckon The Little Mermaid will come out here?

Sucks about your back though. :( Hope you're feeling better soon!

[tattooedsiren.livejournal.com]

Tis indeed DanRad. *flails* I hope they bring it out here. Its the musical that replaced Beauty and the Beast and that came out here so hopefully it will.

Thanks hun. *squishes*

[alexi-lupin.livejournal.com]

ZOMG!! :D

I know The Lion King came here, I saw that (ZOMG!AMAZINGG) but it was one of the bigger ones, wasn't it? So I wasn't sure if they'd bring them all out - but I suppose Disney can afford to take those sorts of chances. =D

[tattooedsiren.livejournal.com]

I know!!!!

I saw The Lion King too (both here and in NYC). Its awesome. I suppose Mermaid is still new (it opened Dec last year) so only time will tell if they bring it out here. But past experience shows we can be hopeful they do. :O)

[letmypidgeonsgo.livejournal.com]

Having just dealt with a back issue myself, I send lots of gentle hugs for you to heal soon. My tickets for Equus are being bought on Friday!

[tattooedsiren.livejournal.com]

It sucks, huh. Thanks. *hugs* Ooh, let me know how you go with your tickets. Do you know when you are going?

[salemdipity.livejournal.com]

Not for sure - it's looking early December. Depends when we can get tickets.
