Has anyone seen this show, or others at this theater? Any discount codes?

Indeed, a revival is long overdue for this rarely seen show.
"You can't overrate Bernadette Peters. She is such a genius. There's a moment in "Too Many Mornings" and Bernadette doing 'I wore green the last time' - It's a voice that is just already given up - it is so sorrowful. Tragic. You can see from that moment the show is going to be headed into such dark territory and it hinges on this tiny throwaway moment of the voice." - Ben Brantley (2022)
"Bernadette's whole, stunning performance [as Rose in Gypsy] galvanized the actors capable of letting loose with her. Bernadette's Rose did take its rightful place, but too late, and unseen by too many who should have seen it" Arthur Laurents (2009)
"Sondheim's own favorite star performances? [Bernadette] Peters in ''Sunday in the Park,'' Lansbury in ''Sweeney Todd'' and ''obviously, Ethel was thrilling in 'Gypsy.'' Nytimes, 2000

I think there's something in the contract that says all professional productions of Gypsy have to at least threaten to ponder a Broadway transfer.

Saw it last night. There's some terrific talent involved, though it's a bit uneven. Sally is a wonderful Rose, and another great Broadway Baby, Patti Mariano, is a delightful Mazeppa. The Louise is quite special as well.

The shows at Harbor Lights are usually hit or miss. Their West Side Story last summer was a miss. Their Oliver a few years ago was fantastic, though.
A Chorus Line revival played its final Broadway performance on August 17, 2008. The tour played its final performance on August 21, 2011. A new non-equity tour started in October 2012 played its final performance on March 23, 2013. Another non-equity tour launched on January 20, 2018. The tour ended its US run in Kansas City and then toured throughout Japan August & September 2018.

I have several friends who are involved with Harbor Lights. Speaking as a native Staten Islander, the problem with shows around these parts is twofold:
1. The companies do the same shows over and over. In the Wings Productions is ALSO doing Gypsy in a few months.
2. The shows overlap constantly, often running the same weekends so all the casts can't attend the other groups' performances.
It drives me nuts...
