How many shows did they give free tickets for?
Liz, just for the one matinee performance this past Sunday, 1/30. Tickets weren’t even on sale for this performance—it was a full house of Facebook fans.
Attended fan day- didn’t get any cupcakes but did snag a signed poster from the cast and chita while waiting outside during trivia.
Saw melissa’s opening night and was honestly impressed. Had low expectations considering the original character description and breakdown but after seeing her rock the st.james theater consider myself reformed.
Just bought tickets to the whipping man and three sisters…odd how television and theater actors have become more and more one in the same.j
I wouldn’t call it a full house.. I think a lot of people did not claim tickets. There were many empty seats on the sides and mezzanine.
