Just because no seats are available for purchase doesn't mean all seats are accounted for. Plenty are held back for a variety of reasons -- house seats, etc. -- and I'd imagine they held some back for this lottery.

Thanks all."
Someone posted a page or so back they they sold them a rush ticket in the evening no problem, so you should be fine. I imagine it's $40 like all of the other Golden plays of late.

Lmao, you say that "ageist," a criticism with substance and clear roots in your inane posts, is wimpy, in the same breath as calling people "snowflakes" for calling you out on

Didn’t exactly rush last night, per say (I sprinted up to the ticket window at 8:05 and was the last person in the theatre). Since it was showtime, I was given an (I think) unsold seat in the orchestra. Far left row N, $40. View was fantastic, I cannot believe my luck they actually let me in."
Always a good few days to try for if you aren't celebrating the holidays. Re: MR, the Jujamcyn theatres have dynamic pricing, so it's definitely possible prices will go down closer to curtain if the tickets you're seeing now don't sell. You'll probably also have more luck than usual grabbing a last-minute deal on StubHub, as demand is considerably down.
I saw the TV spot for this last night and it made me cringe. I had some interest before, as like magic and mentalism, but he seemed cocky and weird, and the choices there made me doubt whatever creative choices were happening at the Cort.
Does this guy have much of a following to draw from? Curious to see more reports before I bite.
I'm glad someone revived this thread because it reminded me to mention a comment/question about the merch. When I was there a month ago, they seemed to have a partnership going with some kind of foundation that supported racial justice in the criminal justice system, and were selling merch that seemed to be a collaboration between the foundation and the show. I can see the connection between the subject matter and that topic, and it seemed at a glance like a commendable org

I was looking at Second Stage, The New Group, and then I came across MCC. I read the descriptions of all of their shows coming up and I have to say, I'm really excited for their season."
Agreed; they've got a really compelling-sounding lot this year. Hopefully the productions live up to expectations!
JBroadway said: "The negative reviews and word of mouth, plus complete lack of buzz, also indicate that this production is dead. I bet the show will have a decent life in licensing, and the album will probably help with that. But I can’t imagine them trying to transfer this original production."
Who would license this? And why? I can understand 2ST biting before the thing was finished, but now that it is, it's tough to imagine someone seeing the materia
VintageSnarker said: "To me the album sounds like Beck + Mike Posner + Jason Mraz. I have no idea what Joshua Henry is going to sound like singing these songs. I liked it okay, but even on the album, the first person past tense and pop song repetition was a little tiresome. I hope they have advanced under 30 tickets for this show."
Agree with all of the above. Curious to see how it turns out, but not curious enough to buy a ticket until I hear some reports.

You'd be moving the problem laterally, but not clearing it up. The paper not used to print Playbills anymore would be used for other ephemeral items instead."
Are you just trolling, or do you actually believe that a few million website hits have an equal impac
@Fosse76, thanks for this wonderful post, bringing some sense to this messy discussion.
Especially grateful for this: "Since most theater patrons are too stupid to put recyclable items in the correct bins therefore mixing with actual garbage, recyclable goods are minimal."
