The rain didn’t keep Broadway fans from lining-up before sunrise for $20 Bloody Bloody Andrew Jackson tickets when the Bernard Jacobs theatre’s box office this past Monday. Among the hundreds of fans waiting in line for the windows to open at 10 AM, Nichi Douglas and Jabari Brisport were at the front of the line, and had been waiting since 5. Since they were unable to get student rush tickets for the show’s run at the Public Theatre, this will be their first time seeing the show – and they were clearly ready to wait for the chance!
Right behind them in line was Nicholas Barnes, who had been waiting since 7 AM. When asked what he was most excited about with the show, he described the show’s score as the “best he’s heard in a long time” and stated that “Alex Timbers is a genius. He is the most up-and-coming superstar with two shows on Broadway this season.”
A few feet down the line, Jake McKenna had also been waiting since 7 AM. He loved the show when he saw it at The Public and calls it, “Hysterical” and he “can’t wait to see it on a bigger stage.”
About 50 feet down the line, we bumped into pals Jennifer Brown and Susan Mason, already superfans of the show. They shared with us their plan on seeing the show once a week when it opens on Broadway.
Amongst the dozens of people waiting patiently in the rain for their chance to get inside and get a ticket was Laura Heywood, who had missed the show off-Broadway and couldn’t wait to see it September.
Richard Klein heard about the $20 deal on TalkinBroadway.com and BroadwayWorld.com.
Raellen Forman was on a trip to Ohio which she cut-short in order to hop on the line for $20 tickets. She had never seen the show before, and that deal was just too tempting to turn-down.
