I just had the last show of my most recent season set of tickets at the Pantages. I believe this was my 7th season of having tickets there, but things are split up a little funny because the 2019-2020 season wasn’t really a single season the way things had to be split up. But I think calling it my 7th season makes sense in my head, and I am so happy I have continued to see shows.
This past season was the first time I was the ticket holder because my friend Dani used to be that for our group. But now that she moved away and I’m seeing the shows with my friend Jodi, it made sense for me to run things since I am a bit more familiar with the process. And Jodi and I have been having so much fun so it was a pretty easy decision for us to get ourselves signed up for the next season.
The next season doesn’t start until the new year, so there’s a chance we will go 6 months without a show. It’s not the first time this has happened, so I know it will be fine. And when this happened in the past, the time seemed to go by quickly. So I feel like our first show of the next season will be here before we know it. There are also some musicals happening before the new season starts that I’m considering getting tickets to, so I might be back sooner than the new year.
But I wasn’t focused on the possibility of several months without a show when we went to our final show of the season. I was excited to see the show because I had seen a few clips of it and it looked amazing! The final show for us in this season was “Beetlejuice”.
I’ve seen the movie before, but it’s been a really long time and I wouldn’t say I’m too familiar with it. Jodi has seen it a lot and loves the movie. But we were both equally excited for this show and how fun it should be.
And it was an amazing show! I loved the songs and the sets and I didn’t feel lost even though I didn’t know the movie that well. It’s hard to say if a show is the best show I’ve seen because there have been quite a few of those. But it was one of the better show I’ve seen and I would say it’s totally in my top favorite shows. Yes, it’s a bit morbid because it’s about death, but it’s such a funny show. I was laughing throughout it and it was such a fun show to experience.
And this show gave us a bit of a preview for what next season will be like. This past season, we moved our tickets around for almost every show. I never really did that before, but it was easy for me to do it and it’s nice when you can get really close seats randomly for a show. And the seats we moved to for “Beetlejuice” were basically the seats we have for our season seats next season. The only difference will be that we will be seated on the other side of the theater. But it’s the same row and still next to the aisle. So it was a great way for us to test out what the new season seats will be like. I might still move our tickets around if I can get us closer to the stage, but it was great to see that we got great tickets for next season with a good view and not obstructed like some of the cheap seats can be.
It was a great way to end this past season for us. We had a fun show and we are looking forward even more to the next season now that we know we have great seats for all of the shows even if we don’t switch them around. Now I just need the next 6 months to go by so we can kick off the new season!
