THE INHERITANCE’s capacity continues to slip downward. They just threw out another flash sale for $39 Mezz and $59 Orchestra for all performances through the planned end of the run.

No, not even close. The lowest numbers I can think of were from Home For the Holidays a few years back, which was quite a lot worse than this

And that's just that I know about. There may be other shows from Broadway history that have done even worse.

A good start for GIRL FROM THE NORTH COUNTRY. Of course we can't judge a show by its first 3 perfs, but I'm curious how the Dylan brand + acclaim from the Public will help its sales. It could be the "snob hit" of the spring.

The top ticket price for Hadestown shows up as $0, so it looks like the prices sure have come down...

Obviously that’s a typo.

One of the shows I've always found most impressive in this category is Suzanne Somers and her $11 average ticket price.

I've been trying to buy an Inheritance ticket for March and I can't get the site to work. Has anyone else had problems?

It's probably gone into shock that someone actually wants to buy a ticket...
