I've read through this whole thread and just checking -- so it doesn't sound like there's any set schedule or pattern for when the principals are out? I've seen the show 2x pre-pandemic and would love to see it again to catch as many of the OBC as possible one last time before they start to leave (which I assume is likely imminent in the next few months but maybe not); although they're all great, I'd particularly like to catch Eva, Andre, and Patrick one last time.

You won't regret it - it's a beautiful show!

Do you mind saying how much the ticket is? I'm curious if the closer rows are $299, $189 or $155 (because of the high stage and slightly limited view). Thanks."

On Monday I bought 2 tickets for September, Orch Left Row D Seats 13-15, for $

Yep -- this same practice on the DEH thread allowed me to snatch front row tickets to Ben Platt's penultimate performance! And I'm hopeful that this thread will similarly help me get seats to Harry Potter once I'm in the city this summer (I have Nov tix but hopefully would like to see it before then). The person complaining is clearly just bitter/annoyed that tickets are hard to come by and decided to unleash some very misplaced anger -- this thread isn't keeping regular&

I bought two sets of tickets for two different dates in June and figured I'd wait until March to hear people's opinions, but I'm open to suggestions now - would you rather sit in Orch Row M 22 and 24 (I'm assuming seat 32 or 34 is the far aisle, so these aren't terrible but not great given that they were premium - I've also noticed that seat 26 is $100 less so we are literally the end of premium on the side) OR Dress Circl

Obviously can only comment on Once on This Island -- we loved it! The theater in the round is such a unique, intimate experience. Not a bad seat in the house and you're so close to everything. We were in the front row next to the aisle and our feet were literally in the sand and sometimes the actors' costumes would brush our legs when they walked by. Very immersive and fun! Alex Newell is fantastic as was Norm Lewis and the entire rest of the cast (we were at matinee so we missed Hail

Yeah, I'm not sure this is a "dick move" by anyone. I would 100% guarantee that Ben does not WANT to be out when he was scheduled to be in. His work ethic and dedication to this role has been well documented, so I'm sure he pushed it until the last minute to see if he could do all 8 shows the final week. While the last-minute announcement is of course disappointing for ticket-holders (I've dealt with this disappointment in the past too), I'm sure it's b

Granted this was back in July, but when we got a refund when Ben was on vacation we simply called Telecharge and they issued a refund right away. They did ask why and we told them we were coming from out of town and had purchased premium tickets specifically to see Ben, and they refunded it that day. I have no idea how their policy has changed since then, but I'd imagine with this being Ben's last week and the fact that they had stated for so long he'd be doing the matinees t

Thanks for posting. Sorry to be redundant, but were your tickets for one of the date ranges mentioned in their email? Just wondering if those are the date ranges he's out of the show, or if those are dates they're just not offering exchanges for (since those are holiday weeks and presumably busier ticket sale times)? Again, just wondering because my tickets are for Nov. 18 which falls within those dates mentioned in their email to you, but I didn't receive that email alert so

Ugh that's a real bummer. I was a tad late seeing the notification that the partial views were on sale last Friday and missed getting 11/19 seats by maybe 30 min so the fact that they're on StubHub now is really sad. As though there weren't a ton of overpriced seats for that night already listed! Oh well. But I will be there the night of 11/18, Row A, 106! The resale of the other front row seats for the 18th is sad too because I would have loved to have gotten 2 seats togethe
