I've been invited to review Memphis...
Remember when I talked about this:
Sabine, aka MrsDavidSambora tweeted my blog :)I know why they wanted to know. It would appear that the promoters of Memphis are reaching out to the Bon Jovi community to garner interest for the show. I just received a lovely email from someone at SpotCo that reads (in part):
@MemphisBroadway asked the question: Bon Jovi fans -- what are your favorite Bon Jovi fansites?
The lovely Sabine told them ME.
Hello,I am beyond shocked and completly, unashamedly flattered by this invitation. I am also unbelievably sad. I cannot make any of the dates that they have tickets for (they're all in the next 10 days).
I am inviting you to attend a performance of MEMPHIS, a thrilling theatrical event that combines Broadway splendor with the roots of rock 'n' roll. MEMPHIS features an original story by Joe DiPietro (I Love You, You're Perfect, Now Change) and a brand-new score with music by Bon Jovi founding member David Bryan. Directing is Tony® nominee Christopher Ashley (Xanadu) and choreography is by Sergio Trujillo (Jersey Boys). The cast features Chad Kimball, Montego Glover, Derrick Baskin, J. Bernard Calloway, James Monroe Iglehart, Tony nominee Michael McGrath and Cass Morgan.
If you are interested in attending the show, please respond with your full name, the # of tickets you're requesting (up to 2), and 3 dates you're available to see the show. We will then put you on a press list for one of your chosen performances.
This preview period would be the perfect opportunity to not only see what promises to be an amazing show, but also to meet one or more of the guys (I'd have a flipping PRESS pass for crying out loud). Oh sweet HELL I'm so disappointed. This is Karma coming back to bite me. If Mr Hath knew about Hath, I could probably get to the show next Friday night.
Thanks to everyone who told @MemphisBroadway that I had one of your favorite Bon Jovi websites. I'm truly humbled by your praise.
Unless this is all an elaborate hoax, and I've just been punk'd, in which case, consider yourself smote :)
But still, my devoted, either way, I beseech you, please visit http://www.memphisthemusical.com to find out more about the show.
If you went to Toxie just because of David's name, you've got to do the same for this show. From everything I've seen and heard so far, this is going to be fantastic.
I will get to see it (at some point) just not in the timeframe SpotCo needs for a review.
I can't stop smiling.

You´re kidding right? On a press list??
Hell woman, maybe you should try to make it possible to go! Maybe you´ll get the chance to have an exclusive interview with the curly boy ^^
Or just send Elena, she´ll do it in a heartbeat :P
Why should it be a hoax? It thought it was on the memphis blog?
However, I wish I had a chance to go, unfortunately my private plane is not available ;)
If I´d be you, I would smile to :P
Awesome blog girl, keep on rockin´:)
Oh, sad that you cant make it
Don't be tooo sad about it: Owning Press-passes, doesn't automatically make it possible for you to meet the guys.
I'm writing for a magazine and so I'm having tickets like that on a regulary basis, but mostly (85%) they are nothing more than a normal ticket for free.
I'm doing a review on my blog after tomorrow's opening as I always do when I attend an event. I am not anybody's "favorite" but I'll be writing it anyway. ;-)
OMG No you have to go - isnt there anyway? Say you won an online lottery or something. Hell say I/someone got promo tkts they couldnt use and gave them to you for free. Opportunities like this dont come around every day, there's got to be a way to make it happen.
Good Luck.
Chris
I'm seeing it on October 4 when I'm in the area for the Bruce shows at Giants Stadium. I can't wait!
I'm sorry you can't work out a way to see the show and do the review. :-(
"Or just send Elena, she´ll do it in a heartbeat :P"
Uhmmm, thanx Judith for the vote of confidence! Lets see, a free ticket to see the show(again) and a press pass with a chance to interview "the creative team"....Hell YEAH!!!!
Hath, can you please FedEx the invite and the pass!!!! I'll take it from there... O David, the Curly G-d of my dreams...ready or not...here I cum! ;)
