Wait! Does this mean that I can take my Tues. and Wed. tickets to the box office when I arrive in Chicago and get $30 back on each one?BE Chicago is offering $30 off Tue and Wed nights for June to people who have bought tickets before. Sat C116 (aisle) for $60 plus fees from Ticketmaster.
Sam: Not sure what this means: A "fill in"? Does this mean because the regular Older Billy was not on sometimes they don't do the flying part of the scene?Musical Fanatic wrote:Oh yeah and they did the flying scene with a fill in unlike NY where twice that I saw it they did not.
porschesrule when Easton was Older Billy his U/S(don't remember name) did not do the wire part of the scene when I saw the show. They simply went to the end part when they were done the chair sequence and the dance part together. Hope this makes more sense.porschesrule wrote:Sam: Not sure what this means: A "fill in"?

Yes it does. But, wow, I had never heard they left that out. I guess the u/s wasn't up to speed on the wire, or perhaps it just hadn't been thoroughly rehearsed with the u/s and the Billys.Musical Fanatic wrote:porschesrule when Easton was Older Billy his U/S(don't remember name) did not do the wire part of the scene when I saw the show.
