CHRISTMAS CAROL broke the record again this week (not surprising though!) I really hope the show recoups and the producers will bring the play back again on Broadway in the future (most likely different cast but that's fine!)
The Inheritance - Previews Dec 20

If you’re splurging, sit in left orchestra aisle 4-5 rows back closer to center orchestra. Great view and no heads in front of you with better legroom. Bring a seat cushion to make it more comfortable.

The seat was A21in the Mezz.I was in 23. There is lighting cables that run right in front of the seat and most of the action is not in the trust but center stage. I looked at the view from the seat at intermission and it was indeed blocked. Obviously she was right in that the house manager quickly agreed to put her in another seat. "

Not officially Broadway Bares but if you go out in hells kitchen some of the gay bars have drag shows and this time of year I'm fairly certain some or most of them will be holiday themed with special guests like dancers etc. It's lots of fun!

Back in 2016 I think 2 broadway theaters could have had the same production of Hamilton (different cast members of course) and both would still sell out in record prices!
Kad said: "Two part plays are a tough sell, period, and I don't think The Inheritance has successfully made a case for itself as a "event.""
I see your point. Even Harry Potter nowadays is a tough sell, given how its average ticket price is the third lowest this past week (after Lightning Thief and Slave Play.)

Very happy for Christmas Carol! The BWW article on its record is here: The Book of Mormon TKTS Dec 12

From looking at Ticketmaster for tonight's performance at 7pm, there may be a chance we'll see it again on TKTS later today.
I noticed almost the entire front row center orchestra is available for sale. Granted I haven't paid attention to Book of Mormon since 2014, but back then I recall those seats were reserved for lottery winners.

I'd say TKTS or rush may be your only options for discounted tickets between now and Christmas. I looked at seats the week of Dec 20-25 and it looks like the play is selling very well. After Christmas, however, I do see plenty of empty seats so if there is going to be a discount, it most likely would be between Dec 26-Jan 5 (its closing date.)
Thanks islander_fan and astorian_ofthe_heart for your replies! It does seem like the busy period on Broadway tends to be now (late Nov-early Jan) and Tony season (late April-early June) so I can see how slots in the late summer may be hard to get.

Sure, once Music man comes in things will be fine again for me. It’s just the period in between Beetlejuice closing and Music Man coming in that is gonna suck."
Really sorry to hear about your job. I'm guessing you at the Winter Garden. I do think it's unfortunate what happened but
Despite Turnaround, ‘Beetlejuice’ Being Forced Out of Theater Dec 9

This is unfortunate. If I were the producers, I’d probably prefer to use a Nederlander or Jujamcyn house next time I produce a show rather than work with the Shuberts again.

Part 2 begins immediately, and focuses on the aftermath of two relationships and the resulting new pairings. Henry Wilcox is fascinating, and now that I've seen Hickey's take in Part 1, I feel compelled to see part 2."
Not sure if you're aware already but Tony Goldwyn is taking over Hickey as Henry Wilcox for 4 months starting January 5th. I'm guessi
It's a personal decision. I have a few friends who did that and instead read part 2 of the play and they seem content with that choice since they found out what eventually happened in the plot.
I know how you feel. I personally don't eat anything while at the theater nor do I drink anything until intermission as I've noticed if I drink something during act I, the likelihood of me needing to go to the bathroom during intermission is 99%.
If I do go with friends who need to eat, I just tell them to quickly take a bite during a funny moment (while audience is laughing) or after a musical number (while audience is giving an applause) but never during any in
