Producer Cedric Yau & the YOW! Theater Company have announced several changes for Around the World in 80 Days, now running Off-Broadway at The New Theater at 45th Street. Around the World in 80 Days, a play by Mark Brown based on the novel by Jules Verne, is an open-ended production, with tickets now available through Jan. 5, 2014.

Effective July 1, Yau is moving the production to Telecharge. "The 'Frolic Flock,' by TheatreMAMA, is an essential part of my marketing strategy &Telecharge gives us the ability to accept credit cards at the TKTS Booth, as well as allocate inventory in real-time. We had a record sales day last Thursday (June 27) where the Flock helped sell 30 tickets. In a theater with only 147 seats, this is over 20% of the house." Tickets originally sold through Ovation will continue to be honored. In the meantime, Yau has reduced the regular ticket price to $48 from $80, to support the transition.

Around the World in 80 Days stars Josh Segarra as the phlegmatic Phileas Fogg. Shirine Babb, Jimmy Ray Bennett, John Gregorio & Stephen Guarino round out this ensemble cast of five, who portray 39 different characters. Rachel Klein is the Director, Alexandra Hall is Stage Manager, with Technical Direction & Production Management by DiMarco Theatricals, Inc.

Around the World in 80 Days is a fun frolic & fantastic update of the visionary classic. To win a bet, Victorian Action Hero Phileas Fogg & his acrobatic sidekick Passepartout, must circle the globe & return to London inside of 80 days. Unknowingly pursued by a tireless detective convinced that Fogg is a robber-on-the-run, the fast-minded, fleet-footed pair traverses 4 continents & 3 oceans in a white-knuckled sprint.

Tickets are $32 (Balcony) - $48 (Orchestra) - $64 (Premium + Extra Leg Room), and available via Telecharge at (888)885-4ATW, or www.telecharge.com/Off-Broadway/Around-the-World-in-80-Days. Showtimes are Tuesday, Wednesday & Sunday @ 7pm, Thursday - Saturday @ 8pm, Saturday & Sunday Matinees @ 2:30pm. Tickets are now on sale through Sunday, Jan. 5, 2014.
