Super easy process. The waiting room and queue had me nervous, but I got two LincTix for my date of choice!

Steven22, I always thought LincTix was limited to just one ticket. But maybe they adjusted their policy? I also had the option to purchase two, but instead just added my friend (another LincTix Member) to the order.

LCT needs to urgently come up with a new artwork for this show.

It appears there are maybe like 3 LincTix left for the entire run and toward the end of the run. The earliest available was June 13th and each performance thereafter had one left

Yep, I bought mine around 3:30 and the earliest I could get was June 8.

What are the chances of an extension?  My spring trip ends on March 31 and then I will be coming back in the summer on either June 18 or 19 right after the currently scheduled closing on June 16.

I would very much bet on some level of extension. LCT is notorious for their big Spring shows having an extension built in if the show happens to be a hit, or even looks like it has the potential - although I've only ever seen this with musicals (South Pacific, The King & I, Camelot).

If the production ends up printing money (like MERRILY) and they can keep Carell for a few extra weeks into the summer, then you can almost bet you'll see AT LEAST a two-week extension.

As the person above said, I wouldn't be surprised if they had a contractual option to extend 2-4 more weeks. 11 weeks is a short run, even for a star as big as him.

I set a reminder for the LincTix drop and then ended up being busy at noon and totally forgot about it until now. I was able to get a ticket for June 15th, but I have no clue if I'll actually be here then. At least I have it.

Not sure Carell will be able to extend past June 16th as Despicable Me 4 begins a worldwide release on July 3rd.

the absolute whiplash of doing Chekhov at Lincoln Center to promoting an animated movie alongside people in Minion costumes.

I like the designs. I like the use of the whole stage as a playing space with the back used as a place setting projection. Simple, functional and rather self-effacing. The focus, for better or for worse, will be on the performances.

The only problem with projections is that you cannot see them when sitting off to the side in the 100 or 500’s.

New profile of Lila Neugebauer

https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2024/04/01/lila-neugebauer-profile-theatre

Production Concept - 

 

Click Here To Toggle Spoiler Content

"Neugebauer and Schreck had removed “Vanya” from nineteenth-century Russia, instead setting it in an American near-future, which meant that the context for gun ownership had changed."

 

"Cutting the samovars and the patronymics is one way to modernize and de-Russify Chekhov, and Schreck has carefully pruned her “Vanya” of its nineteenth-century markers. But the casting of Neugebauer’s production, too, brings you into the modern day, often because the actors invite other associations.

 

"One of the first reference images that the show’s set designer, Mimi Lien, sent around was Anselm Kiefer’s 1997 painting “The Renowned Orders of the Night,” in which a man lies either dreaming or dead under an immense starry sky. The expressionistic set for “Vanya”—a photograph of a forest far upstage, gusts of actual rain—has what so many Neugebauer sets have, a sense that we are just stepping out of the circle of safe, human lamplight."

Also interesting - "In 2023, André Bishop, the artistic director of Lincoln Center Theatre, invited Neugebauer to direct a major work for the Vivian Beaumont, the organization’s immense Broadway stage. After she found out “Our Town” was already spoken for, she started reading Chekhov."

Her future plans - 

"She is developing a Brian Wilson musical with the playwright David Adjmi, but—though she couldn’t yet be specific—her coming year will be “primarily focussed on screen work,” she said."

Interesting that she was circling Our Town to mount at the Beaumont. That could have been spectacular, but presumably the Kenny Leon production has those rights for now.

i absolutely loved the movie Love and Mercy so if her and Adjmi's play could capture a similar energy to that, I'd definitely be interested in seeing it.
