Charlie Sheen Sells Out Radio City Music Hall – Twice! - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Brian Damage · 03-17-2011, 09:21 PM

Turns out there are plenty of people who think Charlie Sheen's antics are winning.

Tickets to the troubled actor's upcoming one-man show, Charlie Sheen LIVE: My Violent Torpedo of Truth, are selling like mad. Sheen sold out his first show at New York's 6,000 seat Radio City Music Hall, the largest venue on his tour so far, in under 30 minutes. Then an additional Radio City show was added, and it sold out as well.

Tickets to the Radio City performance range in price from $79.50 to $519, but if fans would like a meet and greet with the Warlock, it will cost a whopping $750. Sheen is donating $1 per ticket to the Red Cross Japanese Earthquake Fund.

Sheen's Radio City show may be his biggest, but it certainly wasn't the first performance date to sell out.

"Fastball; Detroit/Chicago sold out in minutes... Thanks to Sheen's Cadre..! #WINNING," the actor Tweeted on Saturday.

On Wednesday, Sheen – who is suing his Two and a Half Men bosses for more than $100 million – Tweeted, "#Torpedo; More shows added! Cleveland, Columbus, NYC, Connecticut, Boston. On Sale Thursday," and all of the shows sold out except for those in Ohio, which are expected to be gone by the end of the day.

What can you expect from the show? Sheen promises on Ticketmaster's Web site: "This IS where you will hear the REAL story from the Warlock. Bring it. I dare you to keep up with me."

Radio City Music Hall used to have CLASSY productions. Same goes for the Cleveland Playhouse, which has also booked this lunatic. (My high school graduation was held at the CP!!!) Boo hiss to all these venues for enabling him even further.

...is to see how long it'll take Charlie to suffer that nervous breakdown that's certainly going to happen while he's on stage. Morbid as this sounds, I think most of the audience are going to be there, just to be in on that moment when he finally cracks up....

catlover79 · 03-18-2011, 03:23 AM

Anything for a buck and publicity. The man belongs in a mental facility, not on stage. I feel sorry for his parents, siblings and children who have to put up with this nonsense.

80sTrivia · 03-18-2011, 03:34 AM

Goes to show that some people just love to watch a train wreck... so, he's donating one dollar to disaster victims in Japan? It should be every cent, IMO...

catlover79 · 03-18-2011, 12:03 PM

^ Yes, I totally agree!!

One of the wisest decisions Charlie Sheen has made in recent months was to let his ex-wife (temporarily) have the kids.
The lifestyle he is living right now (while bitchin' and financially profitable in many, many ways) is NOT conducive to
being a doting father. At this point, having to keep an eye on the kids would SLOW HIM DOWN.
I admire him for striking while the iron is HOT.

Tickets to Charlie Sheen's multi-city "Violent Torpedo of Truth/Defeat Is Not an Option" tour have been moving briskly, including two sold-out dates at Radio City Music Hall, but what exactly will the former Two and a Half Men star do on stage?

According to project co-producer Joey Scoleri, the actor will "riff like an artist" during a mostly "spoken word," 70-minute presentation.

Scoleri tells E! News, "First and foremost he's an actor and a performer and the funniest guy in America right now, so the show he is working on right now will be largely spoken word, but having heard some of the monologues he is working on right now, it goes from hysterically funny to dark to very thought provoking."

A multimedia component culled from user-generated and fan-generated material will "provide context for the show" that will vary from performance to performance.

Scoleri says, "He will have a guide that he puts together, but it's not going to be exactly the same because the audience in every city is going to be different, the energy is going to be different, and he's going to feed off that."

He adds that Sheen is writing is own material for the act, which he'll recite and tweak on stage, "I don't think it's a script, as much as he is going to riff like an artist. He will probably do most of it from memory, he's that talented."

Sheen added several stops to his tour Thursday, including two dates in Canada.

Sounds wonderful.

McGillicuddy · 03-20-2011, 03:48 PM

Well, it was rumored here in Cleveland, he was supposed to throw out the ball at the Indian's opener. THANKFULLY, that's not happening. Duh, WINNING, uh NOT!!

catlover79 · 03-20-2011, 03:55 PM

Yes, supposedly because he played "Wild Thing" in the Major League movies. Thankfully, the Indians passed. That's one smart thing our city has done in regards to sports!!
