Girl From The North Country - Public Theater?

[inception]

I'm hoping this will keep extending at least another 6 weeks, as has happened with past hits at the Publuc. But I doubt it will completely sell out months before performances even begin, so not sure buying extrs tickets to scalp is a wise move. Also, I've never had problems before as a non-member getting tickets, so don't see need to get a membership, unless you are very limited in what date early in a run you go? And $95 really is quite cheap. I just almost $250 each for Mean Girls & DEH.

Weren't the ticket prices announced beforehand anyway? It's rarely a surprise... and they usually don't have much in the way of tiered pricing AFAIK, since the theaters aren't that large.

Exactly

Here's a better example of how good a deal the Public really is, instead of comparing to Mean Girls etc.  For my trip in December I got tickets to one of jazz trumpeter Chris Botti's late night shows at the Blue Note, & that set me back about $130/ticket with service charges.

Edit: AND we STILL have to do a 2 drink minimum!

I paid $50 to see Hamilton from the third row.

So, hard to complain about membership fees there. Ever.

I'm really holding out for a rush? Anyone know if they'll have one for this?

[MadsonMelo]

$20 rush for TodayTix. Don't know how many will be available tho.

Just bought tickets for another performance in November.  Many of the performances are already sold out.  I suspect that it will be sold out before it even opens, or immediately after the first few shows.  For those who are waiting, I would advise against it if you are able to buy.  Having seen this show twice in London, I can say that the amount of people who will be trying to get the rush tickets will be abundant.  This is not a production to miss!

I already had a front-row seat to see the show in September, but your post encouraged me to pick up another one for one of the added shows in November. I've listened a bit to the London cast recording, and it sounds absolutely beautiful. Thanks for giving me the idea!

FYI, quite a few seats are available for Thursday 9/27, at 8:00 p.m.

Saw it in London last March, 2018. Have to say I did not care for it. Nor did my brother. It is kinda of a downer- okay- it does take place during the Depression- and the characters are all down and outers- but still- just not a good time in the theater. I happen to love drama- Iceman Cometh, 3 Tall Women - my type of theater. But Girl From The North Country, for me- just not all that engrossing. The music - Dylan- and not the well known songs- is okay- but all in all- a sullen affair.

Samantha Marie Ware is no longer in this. Marianne is Kimber Sprawl

Weird that it was announced then changed so soon. I saw Ware in Hamilton in Chicago and was looking forward to seeing her in something else. Anyone have any idea why the change?

[SDV]

Maybe someone saw This Ain’t No Disco.

This Ain't No Disco can't possibly be extending/transferring, can it?

As SchuylWERKsister astutely noted on another thread, we found out today that Hamilton Broadway's current Peggy/Maria is gearing up to leave. It might be possible that Ware is headed to take her place at the Rodgers instead?

I had never heard of this show, read about it in a couple of threads here last night, bought a second row ticket for the end of previews, and now could NOT be more excited. I love Dylan's writing so much, and it sounds like it couldn't be used more effectively here. 

Is it safe to assume this will be treated as a musical come awards season? I keep seeing it referred to as a play with music, but this seems to be more than the usual.

It depends on how the producers petition it and how the Tony administration committee feels. The Public is strategically referring to it as a "show" (not play or musical) on their website. 

The Oliviers considered it a musical –– but they also considered 30-year-old Dreamgirls a new musical simply because it had never played London before. And Audra won the Tony for Actress in a Play for what was basically a vocal performance in Lady Day. So who knows?

It’s definitely not extending, and I wouldn’t imagine it was transferring.
