The Book of Mormom sounds awesome but ticket prices are insane for that one in particular. It's hugely popular. My sis was in NY and she tried to get tickets by doing that thing where you go down to Times Square on the day of and get half-priced tickets (that's how we got to see Les Mis) and there were no tickets for it. It plays sold out apparently.
Ticket prices are a little better here in Michigan, even if you have to drive to Detroit for a show at the Fox Theater or something. I think it's still a little better than NY or Chicago prices, but even so, when we looked into seeing Wicked last year, it would have been $200 for three tickets and that's insane to me. Plus the fact that we then would have had to drive an hour and a half to get there.
"Poor Jud Is Dead" always makes me laugh too, but damn, I just remember having seen this production three or four times and then I saw it when I was about 18 or so and I suddenly went, "JFC, Jud is like some suspect you would see on SVU or something! Shit," because that had just occurred to me. (Okay, I probably didn't think that about SVU, because that wasn't on the air yet but you get my point.)
