THANK YOU, GOLDSTAR for making it affordable and incredible seats!!!!!
This is not the first time using Goldstar, and as usual the service was to notch. My family and I had wanted to see Wicked for a long time, but the price for “good” seats was far too high. Through Goldstar me, my friend and two young daughters had an amazing experience. The money saved allowed us to have a wonderful sit down dinner before the show and make a real night of it.
Although Goldstar didn’t have much to do with the amazing show and the overall beauty of the Pantages, Goldstar made it so we could have a wonderful night.
Thank you Goldstar! Not only for the show but for the smiling faces of my daughters as they sat there transfixed on the stage. It is a memory that I won’t soon forget.
My husband and I really enjoyed the performance! We had great seats with a perfect view of the stage! The actress (Erin Mackey) was fantastic as 'Glinda'. This charactar made the show so entertaining. We loved her one-liners! (Teal Wicks) was great as 'Elphaba'! It was great to see a standing ovation for her "transformation". I loved the ending! The song "Popular" is still running through my head....
I will honestly say that the surrounding area of the Pantages was not so great. Once it became dark, I started to worry about our car, the homeless and other scarier people walking around Hollywood Blvd. There is also not very many nice restaurants near the venue. Be prepared to walk a few blocks away.
I was a little annoyed when the staff let all the late comers find their seats during one of Glinda's musical number. It was hard to see around people trying to get to their seats and thought that this was very rude.
Overall, we had a great time and would recommend the performance to all before the show run ends!
