hasn't that been addressed in several threads already? Lincoln Center Theatre's rush policy is two hours before curtain, tickets are sold for $20, 1 ticket per university/college ID. Their rush seats are whatever is left, though, so there's no guarantee there will be a rush for Women on the Verge (and I'd guess there isn't going to be)
If you really want to see the show and have limited funds, the rear balcony seats are regularly $31.50. If you can go to the box office to buy them, you don't even have to pay all those handling fees.
When I see the phrase "the ____ estate", I imagine a vast mansion in the country full of monocled men and high-collared women receiving letters about productions across the country and doing spit-takes at whatever they contain.

"You can't overrate Bernadette Peters. She is such a genius. There's a moment in "Too Many Mornings" and Bernadette doing 'I wore green the last time' - It's a voice that is just already given up - it is so sorrowful. Tragic. You can see from that moment the show is going to be headed into such dark territory and it hinges on this tiny throwaway moment of the voice." - Ben Brantley (2022)
"Bernadette's whole, stunning performance [as Rose in Gypsy] galvanized the actors capable of letting loose with her. Bernadette's Rose did take its rightful place, but too late, and unseen by too many who should have seen it" Arthur Laurents (2009)
"Sondheim's own favorite star performances? [Bernadette] Peters in ''Sunday in the Park,'' Lansbury in ''Sweeney Todd'' and ''obviously, Ethel was thrilling in 'Gypsy.'' Nytimes, 2000

Posted: 10/8/10 at 7:54pmThe dates that LuPone will be out have been up since tickets went on sale, I believe.

The curtain is a gazpacho recipe in Spanish.
Tech is in the balcony for God knows what reason. Maybe it's customary, but I've always seen tech in the rear orch.

Posted: 10/8/10 at 8:35pmNo my friend is. She texted me a partial photo of the curtain. Tech is somewhere in mid balc, obstructing people's views. odd odd odd.

ok, intermission. I'll leave the full blown reviews for others to post. I only got a little bit of info from my friend.
"Fun farce. Tech difficulties (to be expected). Stagehands pushing things on stage."
"Patti swings" .. I asked if this meant she's swinging on an actual swing but didnt get a reply.
"Story took a while to take off. All principals got entrance applause. Accents hard to understand"
That's all I got folks.

Posted: 10/8/10 at 9:36pmPatti isn't using the blonde wig???
#45WOMEN ON THE VERGE OF A NERVOUS BREAKDOWN begins previews TONIGHT!
Posted: 10/8/10 at 9:41pm^ I'm not there and I could be totally wrong, but I swear I read somewhere that Lucia herself is actually wearing a blonde wig. So maybe the black wig is her "real" hair?
