extra ticket to see GATZ today

[allli.livejournal.com]

GATZ is the 6-hour long theatrical version of The Great Gatsby that has just opened at the ART in Harvard Square.

I have one extra ticket for today's entire show (3 to 6; 7 to 10) Willing to sell for $25. If you'd like it you can meet me in Harvard Square at 2:30 just before the show. Comment or message me here so we can establish location details.

SERIOUSLY! Talk about cruel and unusual punishment.

Well, why do you think allli has an extra ticket?

Probably, date bailed out after hearing about the actual show! :)

I know I would. The book was bad enough.

I think it's also a plan to find gay men, since today is a Day Of Football. All day watching the playoffs or sitting through Gatsby for 6 hours?

The Great Gatsby is an amazing book, but I'm not sure if it even takes six hours to *read* it. I'm kind of curious as to what fills that time, but not enough to bail on my existing plans.

Good luck.

I was wondering that, too. I checked an audibook version, though, and it ran almost five hours. So I guess it's not that much of a stretch to throw another 1+ hours in there, if you're adding some theatrical elements.

Except visuals and non-text audio make it much shorter, since you can show something quickly rather than having to describe it at length. Maybe it's a read-aloud interspersed with a staged production. :)

I hear that if you make it through the full six-hour production, you get a little badge that reads "Poor son-of-a-bitch."

wow, you guys are such Gatsby haters! even more so than b0st0n, i'm surprised!

it was tremendous, actually. thanks for the well wishes. with 2 intermissions and a one-hour dinner break, "sitting through it" wasn't bad at all. especially because the show was very engaging, the actors were incredible, and ... it was FUNNY. kind of a revelation; i don't think i picked up on the dry humor of nick's narration when reading the book.

no dates- i took 7 of my high school students and a friend. no one fell asleep. :)
