Just a heads up. We went to the 3pm matinee of Phantom of the Opera at
the Curren in SF last Sunday, 6/25. After shelling out the big bucks,
six months of waiting, and a lengthy drive to the City, the box-office
took us out of line and wanted to deny my 4 year old daughter entry
(she who is an early "performer" in her own right). The lady at the box-
office (boy do we wish we had her name) was afraid of having "15 people
asking for refunds" and that she "had never let a baby in that she
didn't regret it".

We had been preparing her for the even by playing the soundtrack over
and over and telling her what the story was about (this is a girl who
can sing along to Huey Lewis and the News' "Shake, Rattle, an' Roll").

Needless to say, she was perfectly behaved, quiet, never spoke in full
voice or left her seat during the performance. And, she was very into
the whole thing. There was a man in front of us who complimented her
on her good behavior and lovely appearance.

At the end of the show, we headed off to the box-office to tell them
where to go, but they had closed. IMHO, they owe her an apology (and
she has two very proud parents).
