I'm surprised Charlotte can't support the touring productions. Hershey has a theater that can support some of the touring shows. Mamma Mia is stopping up there in early April, then going to Baltimore. Trying to decide if I feel like driving up there for it because it's cheaper. 😂

Blumenthal in Charlotte does have broadway shows. It’s pretty big. We’ve been there. I think the biggest venue we have for big productions is DPAC in Durham. We’ve been there for a concert. They have had a few Broadway shows.
The Peace Center in Greenville SC is where we go for Broadway shows too.

Charlotte probably can, and maybe even Raleigh, but the demand doesn't seem to be there. That's not to say that there aren't a lot of live shows but, very few big time ones. Charlotte is also two and a half hours from where I live.

I agree with the DPAC theater, I have been there a few times mostly for faux Beatles bands. (side note... they were tremendous) Durham has to draw from Raleigh to be successful though.

Gee, I wonder why there aren't more people paying that price to see a Disney thing. Those brokers are what is killing live performances.

Ticket brokers existed back in the day when the show sold out but the resale prices were nothing near like today's prices. Some USA fans of Beyonce flew to Europe , hotel plane fare tickets food and drink were cheaper to see their idol across the pond then flying to a US city to see her perform with same purchases to include buying through a ticket broker.

75 might as well be considered abnormal where I live for March. The average high in March where I live in Wisconsin is 44 degrees.

The temperature high today was 43 degrees and it is 39 degrees outside right now raining.

It's unseasonably warm for here too. But not unheard of. Our weather is bipolar. One March, we had a snowstorm, and a week later it was 80 degrees. 🤔 It could be anywhere from 30 to 80 in March and none of it would shock me. 😂

Lion King has always had absurdly high pricing. Last time it was in Baltimore, I sat in rear orchestra, middle of the week, and it was $100 a ticket. And the show was still sold out!

It's coming again next year, and my brother wants to go (he's been getting very into live shows) so we'll probably all go. I don't even wanna know at this point what those tickets are going to cost...

Looked up the first air date, and it was back in 1960. For some reason, I thought it was well before that, only because many of the reruns were in black and white. Color episodes didn't happen until 1965.

I do know a few people who have met online and gotten together. My longtime bestie's brother met his wife online.

I don't personally do online dating, but I think you just have to be careful. Most people I know meet in a public place, drive themselves or take an Uber, and have someone on standby who can get them out of there if needed. Longtime bestie did it for a while before she met her husband (she met him in college, though). Some dating sites are also better than others (like the one that begins in T and ends in Inder...yeah, that one isn't great).

I'm on a couple of Hersheypark FB groups that do meetup, and I'd be fine with doing that. I've met a few of the people on there in the park, just randomly bumping into them. I've seen them do a couple of meetups for autistic HP season passholders, which I would love to take my brother to, but they've always fallen on days when I have to work, which is unfortunate.

Yeah, I met my husband on an online game called a MUD. (Multi-User Dungeon) I was playing the game when some jerk started sending me messages asking for intimate things and I asked him to leave me alone and he didn't. My husband was an admin on the site, so I sent him a message telling him this guy was harassing me. He had the ability to listen in on private messages, and he could ban people. So he listened in and banned the creep. We became friendly, but I was in a relationship at the time, so it was purely a friendly thing...if we were both on, we'd say hi and such, and might have a conversation, just like you would with the regular cashier at the grocery store you go to, or when you're waiting for the bus at the bus stop, etc. But neither of us were on that game to find a mate...it wasn't like a dating site. When I ended the relationship I was in, he admitted that he had a crush on me. And now we're married. But I think a lot of those dating sites are....creeptastic? I don't know....I don't think I'd trust them. Especially ones where you make dates based solely on someone's picture. Ugh.
