WON TICKETS TO ‘GODSPELL’ LAST NIGHT!

My boyfriend and I were in the city last night, and usually we see a show every time we’re there and call it a date (because it’s a date) d: So we hit up Anything Goes, Mamma Mia, Sister Act, and Wicked and couldn’t find tickets anywhere! So as a last resort we snuck over to Godspell where it didn’t look like many people were head and the crowded seemed to be exponentially younger than Wicked or anywhere else…

We stood in line and waited to fill our cards for the lottery rush tickets and then we waited some more. We listened to other couples talk about “it’s freezing” or “how funny would it be if your mother was here” or “you totally live a block away” or “why are they listening to our conversation…”

And then it was time for the raffle!!!

The number kept getting called one by one, and our number wasn’t getting called at all, so we just stood there all downed and whatnot, BUT THEN, SUDDENLY OUT OF NOWHERE, this woman runs up to us and says to me and Cameron, “I won! Here, take my ticket! I won!” She clearly saw that we didn’t understand an ounce of what she said, so she put the ticket in Cameron’s hand and gave him a nudge towards to ticket booth.

I just stood there looking like a damn dodo bird while other people in the audience tried putting 2 and 2 together just like me… But anyways, we got the tickets and were put in the winner’s line!

SIDE STORY: There was a VERY attractive 20-something-young year old in the crowd whom Cameron and I kept noticing. Anyways, after we got in the winner’s line, and this mother comes up to us and asks “Are you excited to see the show?!” and we were like “HELL YES!” and then she was like “Well, cause this is Judas!” The VERY attractive man we had seen before was standing next to her and what seemed to look like his sisters. The first thing that came out of his mouth was “Mommm, stop.”

BACK TO THE STORY: When we went in the theatre, which was the Circle in the Square, it was literally that, in the round. For anyone who doesn’t know the term “in the round,” it means that the stage is in the middle of the audience and you sit around the stage. We took our places in the pit in front of the stage and sat on the coolest looking red couch cushions I’d ever seen! I was literally leaning against the stage, that’s how close I was! I really couldn’t handle it xD

And then the show started, and I can’t even begin to describe what it felt like being that close and personal and actually getting to talk to the actors who were sitting with us in the pit during the performance… It was the most amazing thing I’d ever done on Broadway.

BUT, that’s not even the whole of it. During Act 1, one of the girls (who could sing like hell) came over to our section of the pit and grabbed Cameron and asked if she could borrow him for a minute. He said yes, and before either of us could figure out what was happening, SHE TOOK HIM ON STAGE! They gave him a mic and lines to read, and they used him as their Lazarus for the show! He was up there for a good 5 minutes and got a picture with Telly Leung (Warbler from “Glee”) and Hunter Parish (“Weeds”) and 2 of the other actors! When he came back to the pit, he was so happy he could cry (and he did, but shhhh I didn’t tell you guys that!).

Then intermission happened, that’s right, I’m not done with you guys yet! Hunter Parrish who was playing Jesus invited all of us on stage for “communion” (grape juice) and to just dance! I. Have. NEVER. Had. That. Much. Fun. On. Broadway. Before! We drank and danced, and all the while Cameron was getting “Good Job” from all these strangers in the audience! The rest of the show went just as great, and by the end of it while we stagedooring, we talked to the actors and got their autographs and went on our merry way back to Penn Station where we discussed what the fuck just happened to us that night.

Best. Show. Yet.
