Re: Ed Harris, Allison Janney & Julia Louis Dreyfuss - OTHER DESERT CITIES Revival

I'll say this until I'm blue in the face: GET THEE TO THE BOX OFFICE! I can't think of a single Broadway show in over two decades (the return of Nathan and Matthew to the Producers?) where advance purchase on-line was a must to guarantee entry. And you also get the experience of tapping into the BO person's insider info...and perhaps a good chat!If you have access to the box office: use it, they save some great seats and you save a ton in fees.

MTC came out swinging this year...what an exciting collection of plays with casts to match! The subscription price looks it'll be worthy every penny, I don't want to miss one of these shows!

Just go to the box office. I got into Godot for at least 100 under on-line pricing. A perfect seat not available online.

Mescal is what’s throwing me off here. Letts will probably be great, but if this weren’t the National, it would bomb at the box office. I’d be skeptical about a transfer unless the reviews are ravishing.

This will all be quaint once Julia comes in. I'd say she'll break box-office records (again).

I mean, I was able to get into Othello and Good Night for around 250 or less, and I’m sure Downstate will be on TKTS and offer discounts for under 100, so I really don’t think this is a great deal. And while I'm sure Julia will sell this show out, let’s not forget her first foray into Broadway 😬 I’m generally skeptical if I’d spend even 200 on this show, even with this cast. Downstate though, I’d see again in a New York minute. Can’t wait for Joe’s take on it.

I would imagine that LCT members would get a crack at this, but perhaps not?

Considering how sold this is already (albeit in a small theater) I would expect an extension and likely in a larger theater and fall 2027 transfer.

God I've missed Marvel on stage. May not have seen her do theater since Little Foxes at NYTW.Edit...take it back. Probably Top Girls or Other Desert Cities, which ever came last.

Saw the first preview of this…I remember someone commented during intermission that this was longer than The Iceman Cometh 😆 Still one of the most exhilarating nights in theatre I’ve ever experienced. And what a cast!

This is sure to be a hard hit for the Barbican…I’m sure they were already projecting those funds for future seasons. Hopefully they got some good membership numbers for those looking to get in early. I’m sure Bailey will be a fantastic George, but he’s just not a big enough draw to justify a summer trip to London…for me at least. Here’s hoping for great reviews and a 2027/2028 transfer.
