Title: 1,188 See 'Gypsy'; Saturday Sold Out
Summary: KU's theater production of 'Gypsy' opened Thursday night to a near-capacity crowd of 1,188. Opening nights are not usually this big, said Tom Rea, chairman of the drama department. Box office sales have been steady for two weeks but were heavy Thursday. Many people who tried to buy tickets Thursday, however, were not able to get the seats they wanted. Only a few single balcony seats are left for Friday's performance, and Saturday is sold out. Many seats are left for next weekend's shows, which will start at 8:20 p.m. Thursday, Friday and Sunday.
