I arrived at the box office today (Saturday, 9/30) around 10:25 and was able to secure a rush ticket for the floor for today’s matinee. Not sure if that’s because this performance didn’t sell well, but wanted to let people know that they still do sell the floor for rush. 

Anyone have a code for Merrily We Roll Along at the Hudson? Not sure if there have been any but figured I'd ask. 

Has anyone done standing room for Phantom? If so, is it worth it? Has standing room been selling out? Given that next weekend's performances are completely sold out, I don't think I have any other option to see it (besides trying the lotto of course) on my upcoming trip to NYC. 

Full cast in for the matinee today as well!

I think I saw on another thread that The Devil Wears Prada is rumored for the Lunt. Where do you think Once Upon A One More Time would go then?

Yes, that's where I got my Company tickets this weekend. Went up to the booth on Saturday afternoon for the Sunday matinee and purchased Fourth row Center Orchestra for $108 a seat. Could not believe it when the TKTS worker told me that. Great seats and great experience!

 

Does anyone know if there's currently a discount code for this or where one might be? 

I don’t see much about MJ on this thread. I know it just started previews last month, but it’s been getting rave reviews on social media so far. I just saw it this weekend and thought it was absolutely spectacular. Definitely think it will be a high contender for Tony noms this season, especially Myles Frost.

Just saw this production yesterday and oh was it lovely! I think we already knew this, but the cast is STACKED, and each deliver a phenomenal performance. Already planning my return to see it. Does anyone know if there are plans for a Broadway cast recording? I sure am hoping so.

We just won the Six lottery this weekend. Well, we got an email notifying us that we were “standby winners,” which meant that we would have the opportunity to purchase lottery tickets if the people who actually won ahead of us did not do so in the 1 hour time frame they were given. The seats ended up being 4th row Center Orchestra. Not bad at all for $34 lol! 

Does anyone know when this is expected to come to Broadway? I’ve tried researching, but I can’t find a proposed time frame. Perhaps nothing’s been announced yet, so curious to know what you guys think

I was just at yesterday’s 3 PM matinee, and the 2 hours & 45 minute run time is accurate. The cast began bows at 5:46. I only know that because I was on a time crunch to make it to Six’s 6 PM performance directly after. However, the bows are pretty quick. By the time I left my seat and was almost out the door, they were already done with them. 

I am sorry, but who is Jeff Richards?

So the former EIC of Playbill is "spilling tea" on Twitter about some of his experiences. I was wondering if you guys happen to know who this tweet is alluding to: https://twitter.com/MarkPeikert/status/1319725436189003776?s=20. I don't remember any of this happening recently, but I could just be forgetting something. 

In case the tweet happens to get deleted, it says "Sometimes I think about the TV star who came to Broadway in a much-reviled new adaptation of a classic book, and had no idea that people hated the show because her team had hidden the reviews from her and she just wasn't curious."

*** DISCLAIMER: This is NOT meant to cause any trouble or harm to ANY party involved. I am just genuinely curious and I'm sure someone probably knows what it's about. ***

UPDATE: https://www.playbill.com/article/beetlejuice-officially-closes-at-the-winter-garden-theatre-after-broadway-extends-shutdown

Playbill states Beetlejuice is now closed, but has anything officially been announced by the show?

With the announcement of Broadway remaining dark until June 7th, what is Beetlejuice's fate, since the show was supposed to end its run June 6th?
