I saw the show 3 times in NY, but only once with Andrew Polec. The first was the Sunday evening performance on 8/11 with Will Branner as Strat. The second was the matinee on the last day (9/ with Joey Taranto as Strat. Then finally the last performance of the run with Andre
I was shocked when he showed up at stage door after the final performance with crutches. I had tickets to both shows on the last day. He was out for the matinee but in for the evening performance. There was no indication he was injured in any wa
I kept trying random dates and found one for 2/23/2020 in the Dress Circle Row E. It really is just dumb luck and a lot of trial and error. I completed my purchase at 12:15 PM. I'm pretty sure all the free tickets are gone by now.

She's not a bad choice and she's a Tony winner so she's qualified. It appears they are really emphasizing all the Tony winners in the cast and production team.

I saw the evening performance on 8/21 and everyone was in including Eva.

haterobics said: "That's more an availability issue, no? I mean, I paid $69 for Groff seats and $149 for Glick seats, both side aisles. There were still $119 seats further back for the day I'm seeing Glick, but for $30, I decided to jump up a lot of rows."
Same here. Paid $69 for Groff seats when they first went on sale, but paid $119 for Glick seats yesterday. Should have just bought seats to both Groff and non-Groff shows back then. A
BJR said: "Well, now there's not much choice. The run outside of Glick is sold out or pretty near."
Stopped by the box office yesterday to get tickets to another show with Glick and the lady at the box office said there's literally two tickets left in the entire run for Groff shows. I suspect the Glick shows will sell out as well given the limited run.

I saw this at Goodspeed last year. Looks like it’s the same show with Peter Dinklage and Blake Jenner reprising their roles as Cyrano and Christian, but with upgrades to all the other roles. I would like to see this again with the new cast, but I’m not sure if they’ll be single tickets left when it goes on sale to the general public on 8/27.

For the couple of performances I checked during the week of9/10, the week afteropening, there were a number of side orchestra tickets in the first 6-8 rows available for $25, usually the first 2 or 3 seats in from the far end. $36.50 with fees if you can't make it to the box office to buy them.

Miles2Go2 said: "I saw their performance on the Today Show. Of course, no set and the cast gave it their all, but it was...not good...
Of course, in all transparency I’ve never been much of a fan of Steinman’s overblown style with exception of Total Eclipse of The Heart...I fu**ing love that bop. Maybe if the blonde had taken off his shirt, but it was nothing network tv."
I agree. Their Today Show performance was sort of flat compared to
I guess they needed a show to fill the void left by Be More Chill. Maybe now George Salazar will be available for the Broadway transfer. My guess is everyone from the Tour (which is also most of the original cast) will return for this. And since they've been touring for much of the year, it should be a seamless transfer.
HBBrock said: "Even though I had a strong feeling the lead of the show (Andrew Polec) was going to be out tonight, I was pretty aggravated when I looked at the At This Performance board and saw that he was out (he took last Sunday night off too, and I am sure he was resting for The Today Show this morning). So aggravated that I put in a half effort to ask about exchanging tickets. Once the box office said I would need to talk to the House Manager, I kind of said screw it and we decid

They are truly selling everything you could want or imagine. Shirts, keychains, souvenir books, cast recordings, tote bags... Biggest merch booth I’ve ever seen.
Whatever they had in London, I’m sure they have that and more."
OffOnBwayHi, thanks for the update on the merch. Looks like I’ll

Pretty good. I saw it 6 times in Boston and once on Broadway. Both have been on every single time. Come to think of it, the entire main cast (Arron Tveit, Karen Olivo, Danny Burstein, Tam Mutu, Sahr Ngaujah, Ricky Rojas, Robyn Hurder) have been on for
I saw MJ Rodriguez in ExtraOrdinary in Cambridge A.R.T. last year. She can sing.
There are so many versions of Little Shop of Horrors going around. A few weeks ago, I saw a version at The Cape Playhouse with Andrew Keenan Bolger as Seymour and Lauren Zakrin as Audrey. It was done very well there as well. So I have high expectations for this cast Off-Broadway.
Probably, but not with this same cast. I could see this show running a long time. Just rotate out the 3 leading players every 3 months and you can keep the show fresh for people who've seen it before. I think people will keep coming back to this show if you have high-profile people playing Seymour, Audrey and Orin.

Mid October!
Not too many of those $69 seats, only 20ish/performance. Get 'em while you can!"
I agree about the $69 seats. The theater is so small, there's hardly any difference between those and the more expensive seats. They could very easily have gotten rid
ErmengardeStopSniveling said: "The "Upstairs" theatre at the Westside doesn't have those awful poles that are in the Downstairs theatre, right? Looks more like stadium seating? I just realized I've seen close to a dozen things Downstairs yet have never been Upstairs."
Yes, I believe you're right. I saw Daniel's Husband upstairs and it was definitely more stadium seating than downstairs where I saw The Other Josh Cohen. For The Ot
