Ride the Cyclone is being produced at the Alliance Theatre in Atlanta in May '19, so I'd be surprised if it came to Broadway in an overlapping production with a well-known regional theater.
iTunes has the 2012-2016 shows available for purchases at (I believe) $4.99 each for HD. 2017 hasn't shown up. Anyone heard if they still plan on releasing each year this way?
(Guessing older years won't likely be available due to digital rights not having been negotiated at the time... I assume.)
One thing I loved and didn't remember from other productions (may be just my bad memory), and the part that clobbered me into tears -- Judas clinging to Jesus as he's taken away, finally pulled apart by the Roman soldiers. Heartbreaking, but I don't recall from other productions.
What Effed said... I -- a huge HP fan -- even thought the Universal theme park was a shaky idea, and wouldn't have much staying power. And they're now planning, what, the third expansion?
??That is true with any sequel/follow-up, but especially in this case as an EIGHTH chapter/follow-up. The amount of recapping/exposition they'd have to add would be unwieldy at best. Either take time to watch the 7.5 movies or read the 7 books, or maybe sit this one out.
About to return two tickets for Oct 21 (a 2-show Sunday). ORCH Left Row E, Seat 25 & 27. $199 each part/ticket when I bought them. (guessing it'll be the same). Found row G more toward the center, so these will be available however fast it takes TM to re-list them.

From a tweet response from AM: “Without the changing the text, he staged it so that her return was only in Higgins mind and she actually leaves for good. She walked toward him, then past him and onward to her own future. Higgins says “where the devil are my slippers?” to no one, knowing he’s utterly alone.”
Loving the camaraderie and assistance here. And loving that it's on its own appropriate pricing/seating thread vs. being all over another HP thread. haha This is when this board is enjoyably useful!
Since I'm in the same boat (having bought premium tickets and knowing little about HP), I'll offer an answer: (1) I have the disposable income; (2) my 11 yr. old son is a big HP fan and has read all the books; (3) sometimes I'm prone to following the herd instinct; and (4) as far as the books go, there are too many better works of literature on my reading list to ever allow me to get to the HP series (which is not to assert that the HP books aren't good).
Ok, I'll be that guy... why buy tix for one of the most expensive theatrical outings ever -- and a sequel at that -- with zero familiarity of the source material? I do agree with the other posters: if not the books, at least watch all the movies. (Either way, hope you do get up to speed enough for it to be worthwhile!)
