World of Weird Al Yankovic

Third show of the tour! Gambling and Al! So exciting!

Strange that Al is coming back here again since he's played here the last 2 or 3 tours, although I guess it fits the qualification of being small and intimate. There are a metric ton of smaller and more intimate theaters in Hartford, New Haven, and Litchfield counties, but maybe Foxwoods is a compromise for the fact that there aren't any dates in Rhode Island or Southeast Massachusetts, while Poughkeepsie is only a stones throw away from the middle and western part of CT.

I was really really hoping for another show at Toad's Place in New Haven. They've played there about 2000 times. When I saw them on the Bad Hair Tour, the first half of the set was costume-free aside from the One More Minute jacket and they went through about 10 songs in a row before they started on the costume changes and videos, which is what I imagine this tour will be like.

Toad’s Place would be cool given Al’s history there, but that’s probably a little too small and intimate for him, and I’m not certain but given that it’s a bar it may also be 18 or 21 and over which wouldn’t work for Al anymore. Also the area surrounding Toad’s Place is a little too sketchy these days after dark.

I was finally able to get tickets to this. Section 3F, Row M, Seats 218 and 220.

I guess you should never doubt the drawing power of Al. From the looks of whats available when you select yor own seats, this show is already basically sold out. Only the very last two rows and a few sporadic individual seats left. Last time around when this happened they added an earlier show, but given that this show is on a Friday that probably won’t happen. Glad I got my seats in the presale!

Hey! My wife and I were at a Toad's Place show for the Bad Hair Day tour too. Now that was "intimate".

I ended up in row N of the upper O section. In the middle in the back. The pre-order fiasco took me 15 minutes to figure out how to get to the tix. When he was here last time we were down closer and he climbed right by us. I'm guessing there will be no audience climbing this time

Foxwoods is SOLD OUT aside from 15-20 VIP packages!
I wouldn't put it past Al to add a second show
If this happens
Looks like I'll be going to THREE total shows on this tour!

This is a friday evening show, unlikely that they’d add a second show since it would have to be earlier in the day, and I would imagine that an early afternoon show on a Friday would be tough for a lot of people to attend

True, unless he adds a second date later or earlier in the tour, there IS a day between Poughkeepsie and Tarrytown, and an afternoon on the 3rd before NH.
There ARE Dates available later in the tour too, before he travels too far from CT so it COULD Be possible
