Aww, boo to you. Avenue Q was fabulous - seriously, it IS my life! Apparently investing in internet porn can bring in $10 million We also saw the 25th Anniversary Putnam County Spelling Bee, which was super cute. AND - don't get too jealous Shelby - we saw a Hurricane Benefit concert which featured a bunch of broadway stars - INCLUDING LIZA and BERNADETTE!

Yeah, we're sitting in the upper level or something, and I don't know if one of our friends was on the pre-sale list or whatnot.... Actually you can ask Cara on our team... she got the tickets.

Wicked tickets start that high? Really??? Hmm, maybe I will try to go when I'm in Chicago - Kristen Chenowith is starring!
I think most Broadway tickets are around $100 for good seats and $60 for nosebleeds - but you can always go and risk it with TKTS. Apparently the secret is to go at 7:40 pm because there are no lines and theaters will release the rest of their seats around then.

I would fly out there to go with you if you go! I'd KILL to see her in the show. When does it run out there? It was actually there when I was there Labor Day of 2004.
