Oh, okay. Just take my money, Kennedy Center. I don’t need it or anything. That’s fine.

So exciting!!
I am big. It’s the REVIVALS that got small.

I'm considering becoming an associate member just so I can get early access to these tickets lol. I saw they're going on sale to the public in September, but do we know if they will be released earlier? I do not want to miss this one.

I was just looking on their calendar wondering when we might hear anything. How exciting. Early access is the earliest you can get them. This will be a very popular show, I'm glad I am a member.

After seeing Dear Evan Hansen the first time, I said to my wife that Rachel Bay Jones and Michael Park would be a perfect Diana/Dan team for N2N.  So that's one half of it....!

If anyone has the early access and might be willing to snag me a pair when they buy their own it would be very so so appreciated. I’d be coming all the way from Louisville, so joining to get it doesn’t make a ton of sense, but I really don’t want to miss out on tickets if this sells as well as most think it will.

It looks like member access starts 9/3/2019 and they go on sale to the general public 9/12/2019. People who have bought tickets from KenCen before, what's your experience with how fast they go? I'm thinking I'll just pay the associate member subscription to get the presale since I'm in NYC, but others aren't so lucky. Also, how many tickets are you allowed to purchase? I would need 3, so if you only get access to 2 tickets through the member presale, that wouldn't work for some folks. I'll also probably give KenCen a call lol so if I find the answers, I'll post here for anyone else.

Does this transfer to Broadway, does it tour, any guesses?

It could... but it could be just for the Kennedy Center. Seems too soon to bring it to NY...but shell be AMAZING.

Since it's one of those half-staged concerts for the Kennedy Center, I don't see it coming to Broadway immediately. The story is so timeless that you would really need to come in with a strong concept to revive it for a Broadway audience, IMO. But a tour isn't out of the question. I don't know if she'll tour with it, but that would be awesome if they did a tour with her.

If ever there was an ideal actor to play this role, it's Rachel Bay Jones.  I'm sure she will be wonderful and terribly touching in the part and I wish I could see it.

I saw what this show did to Alice Ripley, by tour time she was burnt and probably shouldn't have done it.  Rachel beat my girl for DEH, I want SJB to play this role if it becomes a revival.  I can die happy after that.

For those of you interested in an ever so brief sneak peak/hint of what Jones will be like as Diana she joined Aaron Tveit and Jennifer Damiano on  "Super Boy and the Invisible Girl"  as part of the NYT TimesTalks  honoring Michael Greif in October 2016, right before DEH opened on Broadway. The entire Talk (about 1 hour 15 minutes) is well worth listening to with a lot of great reflections by Greif (and in addition to the aforementioned, Ben Platt, Adam Chanler-Berat, Rebeca Naomi Jones are also featured in musical numbers--with no less than Alex Lacamoire as accompanist!)  but "SB and the IG" starts at about 41:23.
