Re: OTHER DESERT CITIES 2026 Previews

My understanding is that Hickey is the one who initiated the revival and assembled the cast. This wasn't a case of producers starting with the property and/or cast and then looking for a director (a la Audra's Gypsy). This article kind of says it, but I'm sure I read an interview with Baitz that says Hickey pitched it to him.

I saw this last week and have been working out my thoughts.I waited to buy in hopes of getting a front orchestra seat, but when those were finally released, they were insanely expensive. But on the day before, the prices of the remaining tickets apparently go down (dynamic pricing taketh away, and sometimes dynamic pricing giveth) so I was able to get a single close front orchestra ticket that started at $799+ for about $400. I let myself buy one expensive ticket per year, so that was it.If y...

A quick check of the comments on Playbill's Instagram story on this shows that plenty of people are not happy about it, and know exactly what the producers are doing. They are determined to deny Asian actors these roles (and if the authorial intent is racist, trying to justify something as what the authors intend doesn't matter. It's racist). Going straight to replacing an Asian lead with a white guy drew too much attention, so they're going with another, non-Asian minority to make it somethi...

Downstate is on regular TDF. I hadn't seen it there before.

I'm not familiar with her. Is she a draw or someone who would sell tickets? I see she has 725k followers on Instagram, so she must have a following.

Thanks. I should have grabbed a $25 TDF ticket the first week. Instead got a $55 ticket I couldn't use. Now it looks like the cheapest is $150 (or $129 for the back row on some dates). I'm not sure I'm that invested but hate missing out.

Same. I check TDF multiple times a day and have never seen Wanted on there. Maybe it's only been for Passport members?

Anyone else seen this? Nearly sold out and prices have jumped for the last two weeks. Had to give up the ticket I had and deciding how much I want/need to see it, especially at the new prices.

The one, and likely only, good part about seeing a blocked poster quoted is that it disproves this claim people tend to make in the grosses thread that no one here calls for shows to close.

Closing notice looks like it gave Two Strangers a boost and made people realize they had to go see it now. Maybe an extension through the holidays could happen? Unlikely, but never say never about anything in this business.

I was wondering if they were holding the front row for lottery or rush or something. Not so much. They've released the front row for the first several performances now. $995.68: $889.00 ticket price + $106.68 service fee.

They released a bunch of front orchestra for the first preview overnight. They were $699 plus fees ($782.88) an hour ago. Now $799 plus fees ($894.88).

Did anyone purchase Downstate on TodayTix and NOT get a discoubt code to use for SMS in a few weeks? Curious since it was supposed to be the first 100 purchasers and they weren't notifying until the next day if anyone ended up not getting the deal/making the first 100.

Re: Bess Wohl’s “Small Mouth Sounds” Broadwaybound?

Sep 10, 2026 — 5:58:31 PM

Immediately, and it has to be purchased by by 11:59pm on September 24, 2026, presumably because the regular seats go on sale shortly thereafter.

Re: Bess Wohl’s “Small Mouth Sounds” Broadwaybound?

Sep 10, 2026 — 3:29:33 PM

As expected, those Downstate tickets starting to hit the Theatr app, for less than the $150 for those who really were just interested in tickets to that and not SMS. There's your true deal.
