It all depends how many tickets the box office holds for the lottery (probably less than 10) and how many people enter the lottery. Given how the show is sold out for the remainder of its off-bway run, I think it'll be one of the harder digital lotteries to win.
Thanks! I bought a copy yesterday! Looking forward to reading it. If there's anyone in NYC who has read the play and want to discuss it over coffee or a drink after I finish reading it, feel free to PM me.
JBroadway said: "Gotcha. I knew that ticket prices fluctuate between different dates because of dynamic pricing, but I didn't realize that a single seat for a specific performance would be dropped down in price closer to the date of the show."
yeah that's true. If the theater chooses to sell those seats via TKTS, then they'd be 50% off. Box office normally changes the premium price to regular non-premium prices on the day of the show or closer to showtime
This is unfortunate for us but at the very least they still have the Friday Forty available. The only reason I think they're doing this is probably not enough people are buying the premium tix to offset those $20-$40 tickets.
I understand they need to recoup the $68.5 million it cost to bring it to Broadway but they've been doing well thus far especially after the Tony Awards (where each week they'
Since you have a leg injury, I'd just sit by the fountain and soak it all in and people watch.
Will Julie Andrews or Maggie Smith ever return to the stage? Aug 4

I think it depends on the role. I can see both legends come back on stage for a play but highly doubt it for a musical. If this revival of My Fair Lady goes to London’s West End, I actually hope they ask Dame Maggie Smith to be Mrs. Higgins.
Didn't the article mention an Australian company who made millions from dinosaur shows is backing the show? Apparently they're also supporting the $40 million King Kong musical.
Looks like the NY critics will be seeing the show this weekend so I look forward reading their reviews next week.
Thank you! Will check that place out. Also, I read someplace that the play was inspired by EM Forster's Howards End. For those who have read or seen the play, would you recommend reading Howards End first?

How do you make a special order? I've been checking Amazon and B&N and it's always unavailable. Is the only place where they sell a copy of play script at the theater in West End London? I'm thinking of going to London in the fall and would like to see this play.

This is great to hear! I saw Donna perform last summer during Bette's week off on vacation and Donna was amazing! I hope to get to see her before she leaves but sadly I'm away most wee
Original opening night was supposed to be last week July 22nd but since the first preview was postponed, the opening night was changed too --- though I haven't seen any official date online but I'd imagine it would be sometime this week?
I'm rather curious what some critics think of this show.
@South Florida, I loved Carousel too (never saw the movie nor any concert production before.) I hope to see it again at least one more time.
I saw Gettin the Band Back together thanks to the $16.95 mistake price and for that price and seat (row E center orch) I had a great time. That was probably the best deal I had gotten on Bway since winning the Hamilton lottery two years ago. I don't know how many tickets they sold at the $16.95 price by mistake but that's one of the
I think it's a great place to visit at least once for theatre lovers. First off, remember there is a one drink minimum and it is CASH only! Like others have said, bring cash and and make sure to tip the pianist and bartender/waiter... norm is $1 per drink. When requesting a song, tipping $1 is fine but if you want the song to be the next song played, tip $10 or even $20. I've seen people tip $40 to the pianist just to hear a song played next since they have to leave soon.
We bought tix for Mean Girls from stubhub a few months ago and the theater just scanned the tickets directly from our cell phones. I was surprised but it was possible! When I saw Harry Potter, they scanned the tix from my phone too!
It says no minimum but whenever I've gone there they have a minimum of 1 drink. Cash only.
I celebrated my 21st bday there back in the day and loved it! Nowadays I just think it gets way too crowded for my liking and thus prefer other piano bars in the city but I still go to Marie's from time to time.
Wow I didn't know Maggie left. She's been there since I first started going to Marie's. I hope she's well!
If the 2001 Moulin Rouge movie didn't have any songs then I think this stage adaptation would have been pretty good. However, the movie did have songs and now that it's going on stage, I think the majority of movie fans expect to hear those songs (or at least the main iconic ones).
The main reason I was disappointed they cut out "One Day I'll Fly Away" is because I felt it was Satine's song where she sings of hope. It's similar to Ariel's song &q
View was great! It was a little bit of stadium seating so the row in front of me didin't obstruct my view at all. Sure, we were on the side but we felt so close to the actors and seeing their facial expressions during certain scenes were great. The only time we were on the side really was during the Covent Garden scenes. When it was at the house, it was perfectly fine. I much preferred this seat than center rear loge at
I saw the show this past Saturday evening and overall enjoyed it but I agree with others that the book needs changes.
Seating: I sat in dress circle and felt *barely* had any room for my knees! Note to self that if I ever go back to the Colonial Theater to get orchestra or aisle seats. I'm 5'9 so I'm not that tall but I'd say anyone who is over 6'0 would definitely be uncomfortable. I sat in side mezz row F and felt it was a great full-view. The balcony overhang did
