In the meantime, as Thom said above, we're awful nice over here in the box office AND we can actually talk with you about what seats are available to be sure you get the best seats possible (rather than letting Mr. Computer decide for you). it's what we do and we like it!

Your feedback is very appreciated. We'll be looking closely this summer at how to streamline the online ordering process to make it more intuitive and less littered with questions you have to answer before you get to the good stuff (ie- the tickets). Check back in with us when tickets go on sale for Guys and Dolls and you may find us much easier to deal with. Mark,

After registering (which should NOT be required, nor should filling out an entire page of marketing scam questions to GET registered... NOTE: IF I SAY "NO" do NOT send me any info via e-mail about PCS, then NO other questions should be asked. IF I SAY YES, THEN you can provide a pop-up and open up that LONG LIST!!).....so after registering, signing in, getting to the buy tickets page, I continue to specify 2 tickets....submit....and am repeatedly told my queue is empty. POORLY designed, not checked by the web designer or Q/A to even see if it works, and yet I "hear" a voice telling me when I have to CALL IN that I can buy them on-line. Boo!
