JACKMAN, CRAIG TO TAKE B'WAY BY STORM

I saw plane tickets advertised LA to NY round trip $200. Do you think a person could take the red-eye to NY, see THE show and take to red-eye back? Then I wouldn't have to pay for a hotel.

I guess this is really complicated and maybe impossible. Perhaps you can only book the show tickets in combination with a night in hotel. I don't know, but I can imagine that.

I don't think that

would be bad for all NY citizens or those who live near by...

Not exactly that way, but similar

Absolutely you could do this! What are 2 lost nights of sleep where DC is concerned!

If you see it that way that's really true. You don't know how close you get and so this could be very worthwhile. Of course Dan will look a bit shocked if he sees you after two nights awake, but who cares

? And by the way this could be a chance to come with him, because he feels guilty and promises you a place in his bed or at least in his apartement

oops, my post seems to be predestinated to be misunderstood

what I meant is that I don't think that they sell the tickets with a night in hotel....

Sure you can do this! I took a 5 AM flight from SF and arrived in NY at a relatively reasonable hour during the day. So, with this scenario, you will only forgo one nights sleep.

Thanks for eveyones advice. I have previously booked a night in a hotel to get tickets to a sold out art show. So, maybe that's a possibility. But a quick trip sounds good. Less time missed at work, less wages lost. Now if we could just find out where and when to get tickets.

I had a conversation about the play with a neighbor yesterday. She's a huge Hugh Jackman fan. Just wanted to offer the information that she and her 'fan' friends are waiting as impatiently for news and tickets to become available as we are.

So I was cruising around the web and found a dialogue snippet from the play under this link:

Also here's another link with a brief synopsis:

Can an Australian and an English actor, under the direction of a Britiish director, capture the "pitch-perfect Chicago cop dialogue" as one critic described the Chicago Dramatist production of "A Steady Rain"?

The only thing I know of the world of policemen is what I see on television and in the movies. How true-to-life is that? So I'm no expert on whether the acting in a play captures the reality of this "cop" world. But, maybe it's true that the world of cops is the same all over - in Chicago, Sydney, and London.

So actors and a director from another country can intuitively understand what cops are like in Chicago? And their performance can be true, even though they haven't grown up or lived in Chicago?

It's interesting to note that John Crowley, who will direct the play on Broadway, also directed the award-winning play "The Pillowman" about a situation involving two policeman in an unnamed Eastern European totalitarian country. "The Pillowman" was produced in London first. Crowley was the director and also directed the play on Broadway but with American actors.

John Crowley was offered "A Steady Rain" because he had experience with the same police genre? Hugh Jackman and DC must know of John Crowley, although I don't think either has worked with him.

I thought Hugh's accent in Oklahoma was good , I've just never been crazy bout the few DC"s american attempts . I think both could play a cop fine . Chicago like NY or the south has an attitude . I'm sure he can do it , I just haven't seen it .

this news is so exciting. i think i may need to ask for a trip to nyc for my 40th b-day this fall.

i wouldn't be surprised if the tickets were in the $200 range.

i could manage to get there cheaply and maybe get a reasonable rate for a hotel on priceline but convincing my hubby that i need to go could prove to be a little more difficult.
