I have tickets in two weeks and am hoping for seats in the front mezz/rear orchestra as other members have commented previously, but I know it'll be busier what with the Tony nominations coming out next week. My tickets are for a Tuesday which I hope will work in my favor."
Thursday night was rear row right orchestra.

Was a great decision for the producer's pocketbook. I ended up seeing it twice because of this.

Eh
I was there tonight. A few amusing anecdotes. Quite a lot on the conflict between Shaw and Richard Dreyfuss but I don't feel like I learned anything I didn't know reading a few articles.
Oh, Roy does smoke in the show

It's been hit-or-miss for the last week - Some days 2 lotteries--one for seats, one standing
- Some days only a seated lottery
- Some days no lottery
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

They had no standing seats for the last 2 days of lottery (seated only) and no lottery now. I wonder if they're using the lottery just to fill empty seats or maybe reconfiguring the lottery so it doesn't run on weekend and doesn't take up the dance floor?
I posted about the lack of standing seats in the lottery in the thread a day or two ago, but those posts seem to have disappeared

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?"
Not Broadway, but the shed would have been a good venue for this.

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

That's good. It was a pain to get up in the seats and there was little room to move. The second one seemed to be time filler to get the show to last 90 minutes-we got the point with the first one.
If I'm going to do the time warp, I'd rather be at a midnight show.

Saw it saturday. Not clear to me that the Broadway was the right venue for this--they've reconfigured it well, but the back mezz is so deep that you can't bring it into the action. Lots of empty seats in the back. I feel like a wider, shorter theater with a shallow mezz would have worked better (Vivian Beaumont?). I'm not sure I see this making $$ with the back half of the mezz being such a tough sell.
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.
Wondering what their marketing peo
