This past week, I was goofing around on the site for general tickets, and I found that students can show up to the theater an hour before the show start time and get tickets for $20. Lauren, Maggie and I trekked out to Raleigh on Sunday to catch the last matinée performance of Mamma Mia. Would I pay $36 to see it? No. Would I pay $20? yes. We showed up about 1pm for the 2pm matinée and bought three tickets for the show. We ended up 8 rows from the front, center stage. How awesome is that?? The show was a lot of fun. I'm not a huge ABBA fan, but the story was good, the music was fun, and the cast was excellent. After the show, we had dinner at my favorite Mexican place in Cary, Los Tres Magueyes (I haven't been there in years), and we hit Trader Joe's before heading back to Durham (I was out of vegetable shumai dumplings!).
Now, the extra cool thing happening is that this Saturday, Mike, Taylor, Lauren and I are going to go see RENT in the afternoon. Although I am excited to go see RENT, we are all very excited to go because a good friend of Mike and Taylor's from Davidson, John, has taken the role of Benny in the traveling cast! I have never actually known anyone who is performing on stage during a performance of this magnitude, so I (and everyone else going) am super super excited. John is going to be amazing, and we are all thrilled to get to see him perform. This has been a long time coming, and I hope this is only the first of many times we see him performing on stage. So, I encourage you to go and get a ticket to see this performance if you are in the area, too!!!
