What percentage of tickets have been sold at Atlantic City -- anyone know where I look to figure this out? Tnks! There is no way to figure this out. There is a map where you can see which seats are for sale (in blue) but the gray seats are a combination of sold seats and seats that have not yet been offered for sale. |

I haven't watched/heard all the vids fr Vegas#2 but from the few I've seen, I think i prefer Vegas#1 for Adam's performance over Vegas#2. Watching the vids (even with the on/off/on again stream) of Vegas#1 brought me to tears. Vegas#2 not as much. Ok also testing my new avi, since nearly everyone is adopting a pic fr this outstanding Tour! Many people on my twitter feed said Vegas #2 "blew the first night away". They haven't explained why and I don't see much difference in the videos. Both nights looked fantastic! Maybe it's just that the more you see it the more you love it?  If myspenser is here maybe she can explain because I'm curious. |

When I called to get my tickets from Ticketmaster he said there are a lot of front row seats on hold for VIP and may get released closer to the time. He tried to pull AA for us. |

This speadsheet is not accurate. It is not possible to be accurate with these -- so take it with a grain of salt. But they have been adding seats to the floor to many shows. For example, they added about 100 seats to Las Vegas' Sunday show -- so the second show had more seats. They box office did not have a final count as of showtime. For Sunday, they sold around 3,200 tickets (tickets - per box office) BUT there were 3,800 people in the audience (per security). |

I'd take that with a huge grain of salt. I remember reading that they already had someone lined up to take over in the lead role of Hedwig (not Helmit). I wonder how inclined they would be to cast Adam in the role of Hedwig since I think part of the point of Hedwig is that she's not a very attractive girl...whereas Adam is quite beautiful when dressed in drag. Well, I'm the one who posted about the conversation I had with the Company Manager of Hedwig and the angry inch, and I can assure you there would be no reason for him to tell me that if it wasn't true. And Andrew Rannells, who is replacing NPH, was just announced as the replacement. The point I think the company manager was making is they are thinking long term for the show and will need other replacements to keep the show running. But I agree, now is not the time for Adam to be on Broadway especially as a replacement. Album#3 first! I greatly appreciate you sharing this info with us. It makes me deliriously happy to know Adam is getting that type of interest and offers. It is not the role I would want to see him in for his first Broadway foray, but it is wonderful that the industry insiders want him, regardless of the play. I shouldn't be surprised that Adam has gotten these inquiries behind the scenes. TPTB in the business don't get where they are without being able to recognize talent and good PR which Adam brings in spades. Still, it is nice to have confirmation. Thanks. |

As far as LV is concerned: from the few times I've been there I learned that everything is possible as long as you are willing to exchange some cash with a right person... tables, seats, tickets, rooms, room upgrades, what not - just magically appear for you! So, ya, the number at the box office and the number of peeps in the audience will always be different! |

Did he say they offered Adam the role or at least talked to his management about the possinbility or was he merely one among those being given consideration? |

I think we might be surprised at how many offers Adam is getting.  |

Just had someone answer me though and she said she could hear Adam better on night #2. So better acoustics perhaps. |
