Saw this last night (friday). The first 15 minutes were a bit clunky and wasn't looking forward to 4 hours of this...and then everyone fell into their parts and it flew buy. Great night of theater. David Morse stole the show for me.
I've found this to be a weak season for musicals (bring the year after the post Hamilton rush) but between Yerma, three tall women, Potter, and (of course) Angels there send to be lots of great plays on offer

Finding your discounts in this manner allows you to choose your seats rather than gambling on the seats chosen for you with TodayTix, Goldstar or TKTS."
Just to clarify--if you have a code for a Ticketmaster show, you can enter it on Ticketmaster. For a Telecharge show, you need to go to TelechargeO

Each theater deals with one of Telecharge or Ticketmaster (or TelechargeOffers, which is the branch of telecharge you use when you have a coupon code). They are certainly the most transparent, as you will pay the face value and get the seat
VotePeron said: "... the only seats I can imagine being a little unfortunate are the rear orchestra, as the overhang of the new extended mezzanine is quite severe."
Can anyone whose sat in the rear orchestra opine on how bad it is? Managed to get some cheap tickets and wondering whether we'll miss anything...

Mine were rear mezz P. Not great seats by any measure....
However, I do recall that in the original conception it was "Lower East Side Story". I'd be interested in *that*. Of course they're have to write new songs, but I'd certainly buy a ticket if they could find some talent to either write an entire new score or adapt/as to the original
It wasn't a success in any form. It lost money and was a critical failure.
While it may have made some children happy, I view it as having a big head start due to the licensing of a well loved story and some elements of a well loved movie and yet it only managing mediocrity
It's essentially the unsuccessful scion of a wealthy family, who was born on third base, but thinks (s)he hit a single (since (s)he ended up on first....)
The play IS slight, but Lithgow is a master, and I enjoyed his performance. Would I pay full price (I didn't)? Probably not. Would I pay TDF prices (or even better, papering service "prices", yes.

Groundhog Day, due to the time-shifting stunts, is one of the more technically demanding "trick-heavy" shows of the recent era, which is undoubtedly going to make people reluctant to pick it up for their own theatre. The fact that Andy Karl was somewhat famously injured performing the stunts in the show may hurt it as well..."
Liza's Headband said: "BroadwayConcierge said: "I wish you had considered a New Year’s resolution of being remotely pleasant instead of constantly insufferable and negative, Headband. Maybe 2019!"
Again failing to acknowledge you improperly used the word "hit.""
Where's the failure?
The quote was "Beyond thrilled that word of mouth is turning this show into a total hit."
I was going to post a similar explanation to that posted by Daddy Warbucks (that damned war profiteer), but he beat me to it (and with more eloquence). I will note, however, that the choice of theater depends on so many factors, and the success of producers are so varied, that it's just a guess. The correlation falls well short of 1.
, yes.
