| For either The Seagull or Mother Courage, Streep on occasion brought pizza for the people sleeping in line overnight to get tickets down at the Public. I also waited down at the Public (I live a block or so away) stopping first at Kmart to get a comfy folding beach chair in which to wait. I think we waited about four hours. To be honest, I don't remember which line experience was which for those two shows, but in my experience the people in those lines were generally friendly and interesting. My only complaint about lines for Shakespeare in the Park is that abrasive, annoying, loud saxophone player who hangs out at the Delacorte while people wait on in the cancelation line. He really ruins the vibe. I was sad when they stopped giving out tix at the Public |

| I like having the musician playing as we wait on the queue. It’s not, at least, the kind of look-at-me street performance that we get sometimes, for instance, in Times Square. It’s a festive background from a good-humored troubadour. | |

| I have to agree about the saxophone player. Truly annoying. It would be fine if he simply played his music and took his tips as they came and moved on, but he brings a sad-sack, woe-is-me demeanor and complains and harangues if people don’t give him money. It’s always seemed odd to me that he thinks the best crowd to wheedle out of a few bucks are the people waiting to see Shakespeare for free. |
