Billy Elliot the Forum

I'm willing to bet the farm that they have allocated all those seats to subscribers and rest FOR NOW to 2+ sales...check back later to see if(when) they release some singles...every tour city I've ever checked have done this...quickly if sales are terrible last min if sales are good.

You have a farm?

Because this is the first season of Broadway shows at this fairly new venue (One year old this past March 10th), their subscriber base is quite large. They also had two private pre-sales before yesterday's public offering. The first was for present subscribers who were given the chance to purchase additional tickets; the second was for those like myself who were in their data base as being a past ticket buyer (Saw the Irish Tenors and a Chicago based acapella group call Under The Street Lamp). I received an email invitation last Wednesday to their web site to choose left over tickets. I was able to get singles to Friday and Sunday night. I'd keep checking back to their ticketing site (http://www.thesmithcenter.com/events/bi ... e-musical/) as subscribers can return tickets and exchange them at any time.

The Smith Center is beautiful and well laid out...lots of leg room too. I would avoid the upper balcony. Here is an excellent review of the various seating areas: http://www.vegaschatter.com/story/2012/ ... +Center%3F

And here is what the Billy cast will see as they preform: http://www.lasvegasweekly.com/photos/20 ... 06/478789/

Seems like the cast might have trouble dancing around that giant piano thingie.

It would be a lot more fun than the little upright piano in the community/union hall set, though I think they'll have to totally redesign the lines of dancers in Shine and Solidarity right off the bat!!!!!!

The exterior view of Smith Center is also very attractive.

This was the show I thought I might be able to get to, but alas it was not to be.
