I love both of these guys, so this has the potential to be great. Nice work, Roundabout.

(Also, given the dates, I guess Kiss Me Kate is taking Studio 54?)

Marylouise Burke is an underrated gem of the stage!

They must be literally updating the website right now as the clickable things are out of whack, but the price range is $59-$159. Roundabout said via Twitter last week that tickets would go on sale in “just a couple weeks.” I’m so impatient for this one - Ethan Hawke is an absolute favorite of mine.

How are we feeling about the artwork that's been on the Roundabout site and TodayTix for a bit?

I really like the artwork! I don't think "Sam Shepard" when I see it, but I'm not sure that's necessarily a bad thing. With two high-profile actors involved, it makes it look like an intense action film.

Really? Because my first thought was that it seemed like it was designed by a computer program fed nothing but information about Sam Shepard.

It's really striking artwork, and I love the western quality of it. Whether it relates to the material of the show or not is another story, but it's leagues better than some of Roundabout's other recent "art" (She Loves Me, The Price, The Real Thing, Violet, etc.)

At first glance I couldn't tell it was a typewriter and it looked like he was on some tricked out car. Looked like "True West: Mad Max Edition" lol

In any case, its much more striking than many of Roundabouts recent designs and definitely stands out

The artwork is unspeakably hideous.

I liked the poster.  It's bold and fits the play.

Yes, nice recreation of the old pulp novels and highlights both actors. Nothing wrong with it.

The poster is a Pete Davidson: “There’s a lot going on there but it gets the job done.”

Looking to grab tickets for this for January, I’ve never been to this theater. Would I be better off in second row Mez or in the last row of the orchestra?
