Hey! This hasn’t been updated in a month! Did you intern leave. Hey, intern, come back! I can’t figure when to line up for tickets without you.
We’d love an update, too. best 411 I could find was on a board on the broadway world site that said lines were less long for Once on 1/5/13 than they had been in December.
Good luck to us both.
