They are clearly looking at sales the day before and using the lottery to fill unsold seats, rather than reserving some seats for the lottery in advance. I'd expect the floor to come back for slow s

People keep saying this, but it's totally not true. I just don't understand how people think it would work. Where is the standing room supposed to go in that case? Is it on stage blocking the view of everyone sitting?"

I've done lots of will call pickups of TDF tickets. Some theaters will ask you for ID, but they're asking for any ID with your name on it to confirm that you're the person who's supposed to pick up the tickets. A driver's licen

As for the show, really enjoyed it. Agree with some of th

Also at tonight's first preview. Like but not loved the show. It's Broadway comfort food: lots of little references and jokes to things that happen in the movie that were omitted for time or other purposes, forgettable songs, and a story arc that the entire audience knows where it's going. It'll probably do pretty well with tourists, and I may see it again when it's a little more polished, but it's not high art.

Saw it last night and agree about the difficulty of keeping track of such a large cast, especially as some of the children characters are played by adults in latter time periods (it covers a number of distinct time periods from 1899 to 1955)

I miss the opening song from Great Comet that laid out who everyone was-they do have a family tree as one of the scene transition images--perhaps they can add that to the playbill (to facilitate repeats).
