1562.10Glad I got seatsSSMP20::DALEYWed Jul 20 1988 00:083
    I'm going with my mother, sister, niece, and daughter on Friday
    the 5th. I'm really thrilled.
    
1562.11GLINKA::GREENEWed Jul 20 1988 14:1813
    So...Edd...are you going to be The Organizer?
    
    I would especially enjoy going with other FELINErs.
    [Oops, that rather sounds like I would like to take a
    box of expensive litter box liners, huh?  Well, maybe
    a CAT might need one!]
    
    Any chance of organizing a Wednesday or Monday evening
    performance if it is during the summer?  I'll be getting
    out of town most of the remaining weekends, and I guess 
    others might be doing that as well.

    Uh, I'd really prefer not to be...
    
    Between looking for a job, practice and gigs with my band, and
    the usual compliment of other demands on my time I, truthfully,
    don't have the energy...

1562.14Discount Tickets thru DEC!FSTVAX::HULLWed Jul 20 1988 19:3914
    Since I work in Personnel, I will let you all in a scoop.  Tickets
    to CATS is going to be offered through the Employee Activites and
    Recreation through DEC.  The flyers should be in your sites this
    week in the greater Maynard area.  They are offering $40.00 Orchestra
    seats for $36.00 for the night of August 26th (Fri).  The deadline
    to get your order in is 8/9.
    
    See your local Employee Activities person in Personnel to get the
    flyer.

1562.16August 12thNSG022::POIRIERSuzanneThu Jul 21 1988 18:116
    There seemed to be a few people going on the 12th - Perhaps we should
    meet before or after?  We have orchestra seats too!  Any one
    interested?

1562.17Better Late than NeverWITNES::MACONEWed Jul 27 1988 15:295
    I just got my tickets!  I asked the guy on the phone for the best
    seats available on a Friday or Saturday night.  He got me tickets
    on August 12th, orchestra seats.
    
    I didn't think I could get such good seats so late.
1562.18NRADM::CONGERThu Jul 28 1988 12:106
    
    	It seems like there are about four of us going on the 12th.
    	Anyone know where we could plan to meet? (at the theatre
    	somewhere would probably be best). I'll have pictures of 
    	Rosie and Missy with me!!
    
1562.19Me too?RAINBW::PERRYFri Jul 29 1988 13:4618
    In response to 1562.4 and 1562.9 regarding seating:
    
    When I went we had 2nd floor back seats (rear Mezzanine). It was
    pretty good because we a had great view of the kalaidescope lighting,
    but personally I don't do very well with heights. 2nd floor front
    probably would have been better, though I would prefer orchestra
    seats as there is limited audience participation.
    
    It was a lot of fun! A visual feast!
    
    Many of the characters reminded me of my own kids - especially Griselda
    (?) the lead cat. That's my Thea! 
    
    I am hoping to go again . . . Is it too late to get better seats this
    time?

1562.20FREKE::WARDI leave Trouble behindFri Jul 29 1988 15:585
    I'm going!!!  Thought hubby and I had decided it was beyond our
    budget this time, but yesterday he surprised me.  I'm not sure yet
    where we are sitting, but we are going on Aug 26.

1562.21Meeting on the 12thWITNES::MACONEFri Jul 29 1988 19:2212
    Re. .18
    
    Portia and Oscar have granted me permission to meet other FELINErs
    at CATS, under the condition that I bring their pictures with me.
    They requested that I order 8 x 10's, however this is one instance
    when I am denying their request.
    
    I've never been to the Shubert before so I don't know a good meeting
    place there.  Anybody else have any suggestions?  What about you
    Holly -- you seem good at organizing get togethers.

1562.22seating and meetingHUMOR::EPPESMake 'em laughFri Jul 29 1988 23:2920
    RE seating:  There are "orchestra seats" and there are "orchestra
    seats."  The first time I saw CATS (the first time it was in Boston),
    we had orchestra seats.  However, they were under the mezzanine, which
    rather limits what you can see -- not on the stage, I hasten to add,
    but up in the boxes where some of the action takes place.  Also, you
    can't see the neat lighting and set decorations (?) up on the ceiling
    and on the front of the mezzanine, although the last time I saw CATS
    (the second time it was in Boston, last fall), the set wasn't as
    elaborate (I guess because the show was around for a shorter period of
    time).  For that performance, we had front row mezzanine seats, which
    were great!  You can really see everything.

    RE a place to meet:  Although I'm not going (*this* time!), I'd suggest
    meeting under the Shubert's marquee (i.e. on the sidewalk right in
    front of the theatre).  If you want to get more specific, you could
    pick a spot on either side of the doors.  I think the lobby area will
    be quite crowded, which would make it difficult to find people.

1562.23possible extensionSTOR06::DALEYMon Aug 01 1988 21:165
    I read in yesterday's paper that CATS is prepared to stay
    for an extended length of time (beyond August 27th) if there
    is a demand for it. 
    
    My tickets are for August 5th (this Friday).
1562.24SSMP20::DALEYMon Aug 08 1988 16:165
    I went Friday - it was great. I let my 7 year old  niece
    sit on the aisle seat and she loved the interaction with
    the audience by the cats.
    
    I would love to go again before it leaves Boston.
1562.25You know who I am now!IAMOK::HTAYLORMe and my lil' pots o' purrsMon Aug 15 1988 14:5316
    Well, I went on Friday.  It was FABULOUS!  
    
    Hey Suzanne, Nancy, whoever else went on Friday the 12th.   I'm
    sorry we couldn't get together, but all of you now know what I look
    like.  You see, I was sitting in the front row, center stage of
    Orchestra section.  Remember when Rum Tum Tugger (the cool cat)
    came down into the audience?  Remember the woman he was dancing
    with?  She had on a gray skirt and a white blouse with a silver
    cat on the front.  Well, needless to say, that was me.  We danced
    up and down the aisle and when he brought me back to my seat he
    looked at me and said, "How about a hugsky?"
    
    It was the best show I have seen in a long time.

1562.26WITNES::MACONEMon Aug 15 1988 15:5413
    Holly,
    
    I'm so jealous.  I had seats in the orchestra, but up in tha back
    corner, so we didn't get much interaction with the CATS.  
    
    After Rum Tum Tugger danced with you, I started wimpering to my
    boyfriend "Hon, I want to dance with a kitty cat."  Needless to
    say, I had t wait 'til I got home, and even then Oscar and Portia
    wouldn't dance with me.
    
    Otherwise, the show as great.

1562.27Wonderful Play!NSG022::POIRIERSuzanneTue Aug 16 1988 16:3118
    Holly,
    
    That is GREAT!!!  What a riot!   I thought that it was so funny
    when he was dancing with you!  Now how did you get those seats????!!!
    We were in the orchestra, about 20 rows back, but center stage.
    The view was great.
    
    I also thought it was pretty funny when he made some woman's SO
    leave his seat so he could sit with her.
    
    Now wasn't that a wonderful show?  I enjoyed it so much.  And my
    mother-in-law is such a sweet heart - we received a present on Friday
    which contained the sound-track to CATS and T.S. Eliots book.
    Wonderful play - I could see it again easily!
