Does anyone know if the show will have performances beyond the scheduled November 24th? Im in NY for Thanksgiving and REALLY want to see this production.

On Broadway(dot)com it says the show is scheduled for future performances but I cant find any information to corroborate. But theres also no mention that its a limited engagement.

Definitely dont want to miss this one!!

With the current cast? I highly doubt it. But with new leads (maybe even Glick taking over after Groff), possibly? I would give it a 50/50 either way. The marketing really hasn't been emphasizing the closing date (Most would having something to the effect of "Only Playing for X Weeks".), and the Westside has held productions for awhile at times, so I don't think it's completely off the table. Hopefully by the time Glick takes over the show for the 2 weeks in Nov, we might know. If nothing comes out by then, they might just be leaving it at their current closing date. I hope not though, I would love to see this show over and over again if it does extend into a possible open-ended run (or even just extends more into 2020).

My guess is that they're waiting to see the response to Glick, which seems to be very positive, and they'll extend with him. I'm seeing Groff, but I'd consider going back because every performance I've seen from Glick has drawn me in (feel the same way about Groff).

I mostly want to see the show to see Tammy Blanchard, though Groff would be a nice plus, so here’s hoping they extend a few weeks with the current cast, or at least Tammy!

My biggest annoyance is it’s making it hard to plan the rest of my trip and what else I want to see/scheduling everything in lol

Pretend it is extending, hold a slot open for it, and then have a back-up if it doesn't? Not sure what the issue would be here. It's not like they're going to start doing some weird alternate schedule if they extend.

Also, I'd hold a show for which it is easier to get tickets as the Little Shop back-up plan.

Almost all shows have an alternate schedule for Thanksgiving week, which is why it’s made it harder to schedule.

Almost all shows have an alternate schedule for Thanksgiving week, which is why it’s made it harder to schedule. For example, many shows have two shows on Black Friday but some just have one (SLAVE PLAY only has a matinee)."

Have any shows canceled their Wednesday or Friday night shows, though? If you leave a pretty solid slot open, seems like you'll be fine.

Now that we know it’s extending, what are the odds Borle and Groff stay?

[Jordan Catalano]

They’d better extend with the inflated ticket prices they’re charging for those extra weeks!!

There's no reason to think they're not staying, considering they're still advertised as the stars, and there was no other announcement.

$119 is not expensive or inflated.

The cheapest I'm finding is $149 on Telecharge... It says it's a Mid-Premium ticket promotion. Anyone know what this is and when regular priced tickets will go on sale?

I just bought rear side orch for the second to last show for 69 each, so like 77 with fees.

Prices are pretty much in line with the original block, except for the holiday weekends, which is where you'll definitely see some major increases.

From the prices I saw before and what I saw when I bought today, I thought they were a lot more expensive.

If you're looking at either holiday weekend, $149 is the lowest you'll find.

Were all standard orchestra tickets 99 dollars before this?

Pulled the trigger and bought them. The new tickets are going QUICK.

Does anybody know what the seating is like in this theater? Is it flat, raked or stadium seating with a step at each row? I was looking at a view from my seat, and it looks like there is one theater that is stadium seating and the other in the same building that is flat as a pancake. I don’t know if the upper floor theater where LSOH is playing is the flat one? Or the stadium one? Thank you!

I bought mine for $119 about an hour ago. I doubt they would all be gone. I bought mine for January.

I hope Groff and co continue into January or I’ll be pissed.

How are the sightlines in the theater?

I was gonna go to the box office tomorrow & get a “cheaper” seat, on the side. However, I couldn’t believe how quickly the tickets were flying & just grabbed one on Telecharge in row J, 3 rows in from the aisle (2 from the wall).

Am I, likely, gonna miss some of the action, being so far over, or is it true that there are not really any bad, obstructed view seats in the theater?

I usually avoid getting seats so far over & look into other dates/performances when such seats are the only option. This felt like a buy it now or miss out situation.
