Harry Potter and the Cursed Child Seating/Pricing Thread May 7

Agreed. It isn't easily followed dynamic pricing, but the Orchestra seat that went from $199 to $130 to a last minute $40 this weekend does follow that pattern to the extreme.
There's also the fact that you can't see a variety of tickets but simply "best available" - so really they could be frequently changing prices of some tickets without anyone knowing based on any number of factors (for example how often a date is search or how well tickets are selling that day).
It isn't

I get it, but when there are 300 seats at a reasonable price per show, you can either spread the wealth around or shove everyone up in the balcony. Plus, it happens all the time with lottery and rush seats. $10 front row seats for Hamilton with tickets averaging about $500(?) two rows behind.
I've also recently read an article about dynamic pricing for shows. It happens on planes, hotel rooms etc. and there has been talks about it happening for theatre tickets. I personally think in t

I think it just means that the producers are spreading the affordable tickets around the theatre which is amazing. Most producers limit their cheap purchase ahead tickets to the last two rows of the theatre or partial views.
There's nothing like a fantastic seat to a show, and apparently about 60% of theatre goers to Cursed Child are first time theatregoers. Hopefully, they continue to do this and grow theatre fans along the way.
I have the exact opposite opinion. I revisited the show recently on tour. The production is very well done with nearly identical staging to Broadway with just a few changes to make it more relevant/timely and updated. The youthful (and very talented) cast also brings currency and their life experiences to the stage which helps.
I would love to see a well done revival in the near future. The revival at New World did not personally work for me though many of the cast membe
i have a ticket for the 6/21 Sunday matinee of Ever After at Papermill that I can't use. Selling for $30. Message me if you have an interest.
ETA: Forgot to add that it is in the rear orch!
Thanks!

Not that it matters, but my comments about the violence were to communicate that I felt there were particularly disturbing moments and more graphic images compared to say other musicals set amidst a war - like Les Mis.
As for merchandise, there were t-shirts and maybe pens when I was there. Not much was on display. Could be more at this point.

The show currently has alot of violence/violent images --- some very disturbing in my opinion. There are also a lot of gunshots and explosions. It was more than I wanted to see, and I could see where it could be upsetting to some. Obviously that would be a severe reaction regardless.

I'm not familiar with the translations at all. So, i can't comment on that. But as a whole, I really enjoyed the production. I thought it was beautiful and that they staging told the story well. Even though it was long, it didn't feel long at all to me.

Ah. Good to know. I did go late in the afternoon. And never did sister act rush so didn't know about this. Thanks!

I rushed for this about 2 weeks ago and was asked for $45 from the box office. At the time, I expected $30 as this is what Is listed on their website and what I paid before previews. In addition, I have a friend who attempted to rush yesterday who also shared with me that it is still priced at $45.
I did opt for rear mezz seats which were priced at $32 when I went but are now $39.

Unsure if there is an early morning line, but do know they raised the rush price to $45.
Audra McDonald's elaborate back story for Bess May 4

I've found this thread intriguing because I was really impressed with this interview which to me explains a performance that can't be put into words. I've seen the show more than once, and I notice new things in McDonalds performance each time. From the first performance I saw, I've been fascinated with the interest that Bess has in Clara's child. I wondered why she was drawn to him, and I was particularly interested in watching her interactions with him during the picnic while Sporting' life is

I saw the show last weekend, and I really loved it. I had the chance to see it in Boston, and I feel that the cast and storytelling has only grown.
Those that are skipping out are really missing out on wonderful performances by McDonald and Lewis. And the ensemble is SO talented. All the music is absolutely beautiful.
My one complaint (and it is minor because the cast basically allowed me to ignore this element) was the set. The simplicity really worked with the set in Boston

The Broadway League tweeted that Monday performances will go on as scheduled unless government officials ask them not to...
All I can say is if the stock market is open, Broadway better be.

I am hoping they will resume on Monday. Though not all shows have Monday performances. They'll be cars and hopefully mass transit will start back up at some point tomorrow.

I would say that unless the damage is incredibly significant in Times Square or there is a problem with power they will reopen. I believe by equity rules, they would have to pay the actors anyway.

You're clearly a theatre fan.... Why not take advantage of the great theatre related activities only in New York?
After a show there are many theatre related shows like the "After Party" - mostly in Midtown.
