I just got tickets to Slave Play for 1000 points and $49 (each ticket). I'm not a VIP and got confirmation that they are in Center Orchestra Row K. Telecharge has these listed as $175 seats, so not a bad deal at all.
Each year the Broadway Teachers Workshop sees 4 Broadway shows and this year they released the shows they are looking at going to and the list has some interesting choices that have not been announced yet...perhaps they know something we don't. The website says...
THE BROADWAY SHOW SLATE FOR 2020 WILL BE ANNOUNCED IN NOVEMBER! SHOWS UNDER CONSIDERATION INCLUDE:
MOULIN ROUGE, HADESTOWN, COMPANY (STARRING PATTI LUPONE), TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD, JAGGED L

Thank goodness you posted this. I went to check and see what seats were available for the show I purchased tickets for when they first went on sale (Dec 27th at 2 pm) and saw that that show was no longer listed for some reason. I called the box office and it
A friend of mine went "opening night" where they were alerted it would be another preview and not indeed opening night. He said the turntable broke sending an actor flying off a couch and intermission was extremely long due to broken set pieces.

Also, any comments on row L in the mezzanine all the way to the left side? Not sure what to expect for my view and there really isn't anything up on view from my seat to judge on. Thanks!"
I sat in Row L Seat 19 (pretty far to the left). Like most seats in the mezz you can only see the top half of the performers on the runway portion...well you can if the rest of the people around you aren't leaning forward...or dancing...or c

I keep thinking about how electric the Comet performance was 2 years ago, and if that was put together by Rachel Chavkin, then I expect great things from Hadestown this year."
