On Friday night Kari and I decided we would try entering the Matilda lottery. As you may have guessed by the name of this post, we did not, in fact, end of seeing Matilda. Our names were not called so it was not to be.
As we were walking around, we thought we might check out the half price ticket booth, just to see what was available when we passed by the Jekyll and Hyde theatre. This is a show that did not do amazingly well, as it is closing this weekend (and was originally supposed to close in August). I figured that of all the shows that have a rush ticket policy, this is probably the only one where we could show up 2 hours before the show started (instead of when the box office opens) and there might be tickets still available. Taking a shot, we asked and it turned out there was! It's also possible the guy working the box office figured he might as well fill 2 empty seats even if it was at a severely discounted price.
After we bought our tickets, we wandered around Times Square and also ended up buying tickets to see Annie in a couple of weeks. Jane Lynch (from Glee) is going to be playing Miss Hannigan and so we were super excited to see her.
Jekyll and Hyde was...interesting. I really like the music, but the plot is pretty terrible. They were good singers, except that there was so much vibrato in their voices that you could barely make out the words. And they all had the most ridiculously terrible fake British accents. It was more or less a similar train wreck as Spiderman was, but with better music.
