Moulin Rouge! Previews

[Huss417]

2:27PM  The official email arrived.

Unfortunately you did not win a chance to purchase lottery tickets to the Friday, June 28, 2019 8:00PM performance of Moulin Rouge! at the Al Hirschfeld Theatre in New York, NY.

I got my loser email ~2:45, quite late for Lucky Seat. Maybe just because it was the first draw, hopefully it doesn't take all day going forward.

Anyone going tonight? I work on 44th so I stopped by and line is wrapped all around 8th Ave.

This show REALLY has me intrigued. I really hate the movie (I know, I’m trash) but I feel like somehow I’d enjoy it much more on stage. Plus, it seems like they’re pulling out ALL the stops for the stage production. I was thinking of going in August but it’s just SO expensive. (Like seriously. The actual Moulin Rouge in Paris is cheaper...?)
Really excited to read what people think after the first preview tonight!

So excited to hear reports from tonight!!! I caught the 5th preview in Boston, so Im really excited to hear about what changes have been made, if any. Also can't wait to see pics from inside later :))

Anyone go to the dress last night?

My roommate abhors the movie, and she loved the show when we saw it in Boston. She's seeing it again with me in October in NYC. I agree that prices are ridiculous (glad I did table seating the second time I went in Boston, because that was pricey enough and NYC table prices are double that!), but I will say it truly is a heck of an experience on stage.

Ya, this was an incredibly entertaining evening at the theatre and spectacle that I feel I hadn't seen before really. Everyone should make an effort to see this one!

Going tonight and will be interesting to see since I didn't care for the movie AT ALL. Here's to second chances

Well, I think it may have to do with them offering some can-can seating to lottery winners, but then you can decide whether you want those or regular seats instead, so that would delay them announcing all the winners at once, since they have to offer them and fill them before they can announce the rest?

I saw it in Boston and mostly loved it, and I know people at the final dress last night who said there were changes, but didn't say yet where they there. I'm looking forward to seeing it - or really experiencing it - here, so I'll be trying that lottery here.

Anyone having trouble getting onto Lucky Seat at all? Trying to check the “results” page where you enter your email and it won’t load.

Heard from friends who saw the dress rehearsal last night.  They said its a massive improvement from Boston and the smaller theater works in its favor.

[YvanEhtNioj]

I'm really curious if there are any music changes - additions/removals..

 

[SJAfan]

I’m having trouble logging in as well. Finally logged in but the results page is taking forever to load. I’m assuming I lost since I didn’t get a text, but it would be nice to know for sure...

My poor credit card. This and Hadestown in the same night. Argh. 

[Pose2]

That merch is sexy as hell. Have fun tonight everybody! 

[Menken Fan]

Enjoyed this a lot in Boston twice. Just scored tix for tonight and anxious to see the changes for NY!

[oncemorewithfeeling2]

I’m excited to go next week. Talked to a few people who were at the dress rehearsal last night and while I didn’t get many specifics, I got a lot of “It’s a damn good time!” and told that it’s “tighter.”
