On Thursday, my friend Brandon and I went to Chicago for the day.
We went to the Oriental Theatre to check tickets prices and they wanted 70 dollars for a seat with an obstructed view. We were leaving and a man stopped us and told us about a hat that you put your name into and at 5:30 they draw for 20 front row seats. I asked this man if he was part of the show and he told us he played Elphaba's father. At 5:00 we came back to the theatre and put both of our names in. I started talking to a family that had 5 members and they told me that they lived nearby and were just up to try and get tickets. I told her we were from Iowa and were in for the day, and we talked a little more. When they called the names, one of the family's daughters got drawn, but they needed three more tickets. When the drawing got over, the lady tugged on my sleeve and told me not to leave yet. We gave them the 25 dollars apiece for the tickets, and the little girl waited in line to get them. We had front row seats to Wicked. Considering both times I've seen Wicked I was in the absolute last row, this was a major improvement. And it was awesome.
