Samma.Wamma Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 Looks like I'll be waiting outside the theater But last time, I was on the barricade, and Billie didn't come to me. lol of course This is a bit of a weird question though: Anyone have any tips on meeting him?

Hanner Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 i always said i would go back for the closing shows, but i don't think i will. i have absolutely nothing against the new cast members, but to me it would be like seeing it new all over again rather than seeing the closing shows. know what i mean? haha i've been really lucky that every time i've seen it there were no subs. well except for Berkeley closing night when Tony was out sick and Tunny was being played by someone else. so it would be weird for me i think. i would like to see Billie in it one time tho.

Karen. Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 I'll be there April 22-24. Am excited to meet the people whose recaps and pictures I have jealously, but most gratefully devoured over the past year! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It all depends on which day you go. If you go to the final show then it's really hard to meet him or get an autograph. I went to the show on the 27th and I was seriously so lucky to get his autograph. People mobbed him when he was going into the theatre it was horrible. So if you're going to the last show and want to meet him while he goes into the theatre get there like 3 hours early there is still no guarantee though. If you're not going to the final show then you only need to be there like an hour and a half before the afternoon show. I don't know about waiting after the show because I didn't wait. Hope that helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The best you can do is to just make sure you're at the very front of the barricade and make sure you have your stuff all ready for him to sign. I would go during the week and definitely not during the last weekend, because I was waiting outside at his last show last time, and there was easily 3x as many people as there usually is during the week. Screaming his name and such doesn't help whatsoever either, lol, and really, he just goes to random people that he can reach. Good luck, though!

Zalex Posted March 18, 2011 Share Posted March 18, 2011 Goddamnnnit I knew I shouldve bought tickets before it sold out. But I'm too cheap to pay more than 50. Anybody have extra tickets they wanna sell pm me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember I went on Jan 5 and we were like the only ones waiting before and during the show. Most people I noticed came right before they put the barricades up. Im definetly staying away from the St. James on the 24th. Its going to be worse then it was on Feb. 27th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alan86 Posted March 19, 2011 Share Posted March 19, 2011 I Don't know if anyone has said anything like this already but considering Billie is going to be there for the closing, it popped in to my head that he might try the lead role (aka Johnny) as a surprise for maybe a few of the final shows. Could this happen ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could this happen ?? Nope. Sorry but there's more to Johnny than singing. Plus it wouldn't be fair to Van (or Chase or Sean, for that matter). St. Jimmy is perfect for Billie. It's not really a huge part but Billie makes it bigger than it actually it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could this happen ?? Seems very unlikely. I highly doubt they'd switch roles around like that just for the hell of it. I don't really see Billie as Johnny anyway. I think he's much better suited for St. Jimmy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whatserbmae Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 I'm leaning towards going back to NYC for the final week, I so badly want to see the show again and just can't settle on not going. Anyone going from Norway or Europe? I will probably have to go by myself this time, so if anyone wants to meet and hang out, let me know :-) Really sucks that the tickets for the final show is sold out, if anyone have got a ticket to sell, please please let me know!

Oh yeah, and are cameras allowed inside the theatre? And what should I wear? Lol Oh I shall see you then! Cameras are allowed, but people tend to abuse the rights to have them there like for example taking pictures and videos during the musical, in which some of the times, the actors can see you do so. Pictures and videos are allowed during the encore [Good Riddance]. You can take pictures in the lounge area, and in the hall way of the theatre. I would wear whatever you feel most comfortable in. I literally went in every possible ensemble LOL... Sweat pants, sweat shirts, leggings, jeans, dresses....whatever! No one really cares how anyone looks usually at the theatre...I've seen people walk in there in tutus as well! LOL People usually get pictures and autographs outside when the shows over at the barricades. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robin105 Posted March 27, 2011 Share Posted March 27, 2011 I'm definetly going the 6th to barricade. Hopefully get a pic with him going into the theater. Maybe going the 7th havent decided yet. I have 3 days off in a row from work. And I'll be going to barricade with the crazyness on the last day too just in case the whole band is there and signs after or something. I have off that day for Easter anyway. I've got a little surprise that I'm going to ask Billie. There's only 1 person in the world besides me who knows what it is.
