No returns or exchanges on TKTS tickets for any reason, as far as I know.

Your line-up sounds great so far!  I fly out from California to see shows, so do exactly the same thing you do as far as planni

I liked it. When I was scanned in, I was told that tonight was the first preview and that it was running 1:54 no intermission.  I thought that it was fun and sweet with music and songs that I would listen to again.  I do agree about not getting to know the characters (especially compared to the movie), and I didn't feel any emotional connection to the story (like I did with the movie).  Talented, hard working cast and musicians.  I think that it can get better as they

I saw the second performance on Friday night, 5/12.   I was probably one of the few people in the audience who had seen the original 1993 production (except for lyricist David Zippel who is directing this show).  I was surprised that Santino was out (I couldn't find any mention of a scheduled absence except for the first performance).  It's a cute production in the small space, but I have the original one still seared into my memory, and this one seemed to have les

I saw this in 1993 and adored it.  Loved the cast and the songs.  It was so funny and sweet.  Pretty sure I cried happy tears.  I have listened to the cast recording often and think it is clever and hilarious.

I probably read the actual Broadway reviews a few years ago because I was wondering why it had  never been revived.  I don't think I read reviews back then since I wasn't subscribing to the NYT home delivery in California.  I was surpris

I decided to upgrade from the regular membership to premiere this morning because I didn't want to deal with any possible website issues on 8/24.  I spent 15 minutes on hold, and then booked my seat easily with the very helpful agent.  A friend sent me a photo of the seating chart for my proposed date/show ahead of time, and there was a good amount of availability at the time, but for me it was worth upgrading because I am coming out from California and really only had a few per

I chatted online with SeatGeek yesterday for quite a while to request a refund for my upcoming Tuesday night seat, and they said they would get back to me via email with an update.  A few hours later, I received an email with a link to fill out a form to request a refund.  This morning, I received a follow-up email stating that my refund would be processed in 10-14 business days.

For those of you who exchanged seats, did they offer to honor any promo codes you had used fo

We picked up our Friday Forty tickets at 11:45 yesterday for the 1:00 PM matinee.  Seats were nicely centered, AA 105-106, but the stage is very, very high, and I knew we would miss some things happening in the back, as well as we would be having trouble craning our necks, so I asked if we could possibly change seats, so we were given orchestra M, which was perfect.  Some empty seats around us, so we had a great view.  So happy to have won the seats and so happy we were able to

Sally Durant Plummer said: "I asked a friend who has been many times and he said they give out front row sometimes fro the Friday Forty. I think it depends on the performance, but I would assume they'd give you the best available? The show hasn't been sold out. Is this your first time seeing the show?

I've written a few posts about the SF production in the 1 Part thread if you're interested. I LOVE the main cast so I think you're in for a real treat if
