Got a ticket for April, sans food. I enjoy savory pies, but I can't eat (or, more accurately, drink anything) that close to curtain! Looking forward to it -- last time I saw Sweeney Todd, it was a free outdoor production in a soccer field in Brooklyn.

That's pretty exciting, though!

I snagged a table seat for early May. That's unfortunate about the cast too, but that explains why there was a short window for the first block of tickets. I had no choice. I'm only going to be in NY late April/early May so I'm pleased to at least be able to see this production next year.
Went for a counter seat ticket for April - was so tempted to go for a table ticket, but I think it will be easier to take in all the action sitting at the counter. At any rate, this is going to be amazing - can't wait!!

I thought exactly the same, hope we're right. :)"
I was doing the same, but there were three counter seats available. I wanted two. And the system wouldn't let me leave a single. So, table it is!

That happened to me too, it was super frustrating...I've never heard of such a thing, especially when it's an odd number of seats in a particular section. I had to pick another performance. I see plenty of single seats left for performances now.
That has happened to me at the Richard Rogers Theater before, both for Hamilton and If/Then, not sure why that specific theater. In that case, I called Ticketmaster and they sold me the two I wanted...

I was able to buy 2 tickets in the upstairs back row! Saw a few open up today in late March. I hope they opened up tix on the day you wish to go!
I do wonder if there will be rush. My friend told me historically the Barrow Street theatre does student rush only; hence why I went ahead and bought tix this morning when I saw the cheaper seats open up.
This wasn't really on my radar for our May trip, but it is now! I looked at tickets for when we will be in town and there are some left. Question about the seating, it looks like there are essentially 2 types of seats, counter and table. Do I take it that if you sit at a table you are actually sitting at a proper table facing towards the table? Would the seats be a normal chair that you can turn to face the stage? Are the counter seats higher like a typical counter? Neither sounds particularly comfortable to be honest haha.....

I don't think there is a stage, or that the action will all happen in one spot. The site says the action happens at the counter and around the four tables. So, more immersive...
Sounds like you want a counter seat that faces into the action.
