I cannot wait for this to open. I already have tickets for January 18th for my wife and me. Should be a blast. I heard some bugs were in the show and hopefully they will all be worked out. Thank goodness for out of town tryouts. Maybe that was Tarzan's downfall. Thanks Don for putting this reminder out to everyone to get their tickets. I saw some clips on the internet of the show and the underwater effects are great. Here's hoping for a long run so I can get my three year old daughter there in a few years. We're still very upset that she won't get to see Beauty and the Beast. Hopefully everyone will let The Little Mermaid be a part of their world!!
ReplyDeleteGot my tickets months ago for a March 1st showing. Can't wait. Just hope we don't have a late winter blizzard!
ReplyDeleteI have tickets to the Dec 8th show! I will be really upset if I can not go because of the strike. Not sure what to do..... I have had the tickets since AUG!
ReplyDeleteHopefully the strike will be settled by then Sue. According to an update last night, talks were still going on into the night. They felt they were closer to settling vs. 24 hours before.
ReplyDeleteThe list of open shows on Broadway recently bounced from eight to nine after How The Grinch Stole Christmas won its case in court, and officially reopened its limited holiday engagement on Friday, November 23 at 11AM at the St. James Theatre.
