Hotels and airlines do this all the time. They steeply discount a small handful of rooms or seats, on just a few dates, and advertise that rate to drive traffic. Most customers never find a room/seat at the advertised rate.

We sat in center orchestra row P. Although this is behind the mezz overhang, the only thing we missed was the first few seconds of Satine's descent to the stage. Although these seats definitely weren't cheap, everyt
Several years ago, my husband and I sat for hours in a coffee shop discussing ideas for The Exorcist as a musical. I still think, with the right composer and creative team, it could be phenomenal.

I spoke with him after the show for a bit, and he was very nice. He told me about his next (not yet officially announced role) after Bat and I was over the moon.

Categorically wrong. They were never advertised as book musicals or revues. You bought a ticket to Springsteen, Morrissey (though dear God, why would you, the weepy bastard), or Manilow, you know what you were expecting. Whatever they expect you to believe, calling Bat

It continues to the present; as recently as 2008, Andre played the role that later became known as Falco (opposite Justin Vivian Bond of Kiki & Herb fame as a prototype of Sloane) in one of the earliest readings of Bat Out of Hell."
Having recently seen the show at NY City Center with the superb Bradley Dean as Falco,

It's not fair to equate financial failure with "this show has no place on Broadway". There have been numerous shows over the years that failed financially, but still had merit.

The current Playbill code is actually valid through Jan 5 now! It excludes certain dates around the holidays and for some reason isn't listed correctly on Playbill's site but when I entered it into Telecharge Offers the offer details said "valid through Jan 5, 2020" "
Thanks for the tip!

Assuming you're referring to Lena Hall, what is in the works? A NY cast recording? As much as I'd love it, I can't imagine that.

And I can't figure that out. I saw her three times in Love Never Dies, four times in Phantom of the Opera (including the London 25th at Royal Albert Hall), once in Master Class, and once in It Shoulda Been You. The lady has a voice of pure gold.
SmoothLover said: "The NY Times was not very good."
Is that surprising? The NY Times wouldn't admit to liking this show even if they did. They have their position as the self-appointed arbiters of taste to think of.
"In the category of extraordinary are Lena Hall and Bradley Dean, who eat the stage alive whenever they are front and center. Both of them not only sing the blazes out of their numbers, they are theater pros who know how to act while they are singing. Their performance of 'Paradise By the Dashboard Light' is utte
