what a wicked lottery

.
there's a way to get realli cheap broadway tickets in nyc, for some shows it's easy, but u need ALOT of luck for ONE particular show.
.
yep that's Wicked.
.
so wat u do is queue behind the many many people 1.5hrs before the show starts, write down your name and how many tickets required on a piece of paper.
.
then 1hr before the show starts, that same guy wearing sunglasses when night had alr fallen will pick out the winners lottery-style. 26 tickets to give away each time, $26.25/ticket after tax.
.
well, we tried 5 frigging times n didnt get it. frigging popular show, always tons of people entering the lottery. BAH.
.

we did managed to get lottery tickets for this show on 1st try, however. both our names were called, so theoretically we had 4 tix which we could have sold 2, but we juz surrendered the tix lah.
.
Next To Normal is a Pulitzer winning book made into broadway, about how a family deals with a bipolar mother.
.
though as usual, i fell aslp at 8pm NYT, the intense buildup at the later half of the show woke me up. very touching end to the show, and the actors were superbly brilliant. fantastic experience!
