I know for a fact that the show has been giving out comps and has discounts galore for the longest time. And, we all know that the number of people in the theatre does not equate a high box office intake. While I am happy that it's still running, I wonder how much life does it have left. Just wanted to get other folks thoughts on this.

Waiting to see tomorrow's grosses, but a Labor Day weekend closing wouldn't surprise me for this one.

Long as it last until Wednesday I'll be happy haha. After the Tony's I made sure to swipe up a ticket since I couldn't see it last until December when I typically plan a trip.

In the short term, I'd be more worried about "Bandstand."  I would imagine that "War Paint" has a higher break even.  Someone will weigh in and correct me. I'd like to see them both stick around, though I'm more partial to "BS."

I got a pair for a night Christine was out, but the "how" is not easily replicated. They are definitely floating around, especially if you don't mind not seeing one of the ladies.

A friend of mine has gone on comps at least once, but I think she said twice. They are definitely out there.

Just curious, how does one get comps for a show? Do we have to know someone in it?

Actors Equity lounge,  NYU students union,  abc commissary .  Those are a few places that sometimes have comps. But I haven't seen them for this one.

i'm an idiot who just accidentally bought a pair on TDF for Wednesday 7/19 - was planning to rush tomorrow, and while getting some other tix on TDF i saw it listed and jumped on it - figured i'd save the trip... 

If anyone here is not previously committed on Wednesday, feel free to message me about it.
