Any insight on sight lines for left orchestra row H seat 21 (or somewhere in that viscinity)? Off to the side, but not marked as partial view. This was a lottery win so didn’t have a choice in seat selection.

It really is beautiful in so many ways! It’s quite cathartic. I hope you left with a sense of rejuvenation. It sort of left me in a bit of an introspective emotional trance f...

TarHeelAlan said: "For those who have won the lottery for this show, where were your seats? Are they primarily balcony or other locations that are considered Partial View?"I won lotto on Tuesday 11/26 and was given seats right balcony row B seats 10 and 12. Not listed as partial view. When I did in person rush last week of previews I was given center balcony row J (last row) seat 101. Not listed as partial view either. I thought the view would be bad so I asked to stand but they didn’t let me...

I had the same thought about MHE - I expected grosses to be higher given they sold out the entirety of last weekend. However I actually view this week’s grosses as a win (or at least not as a loss). They managed to keep relatively stable numbers compared to the prior week which was a holiday week! Obviously a little dip but not tremendous.That means Thanksgiving weekend was just a fluke and it wasn’t a one off. You have to especially compare it to the last non-holiday week from a week before ...

Really lovely to see so many people enjoying this, both avid and passive theater goes! It's truly something special and I hope so many more people get to experience this wonderful show!

“‘Maybe Happy Ending,’ opened in November to glowing reviews that transformed it from an unknown commodity to a dark-horse contender for the best musical Tony”absolutely love seeing those words in the WSJ! Keep the praise company from all avenues please!

This week for Outsiders was 8 performances at $1.84 mil. Surprised we haven't seen an article yet."You know, before Maybe Happy Ending came along and stole all of my emotional energy, Outsiders was by far the thing I couldn’t stop talking about. I’ve seen it 3 times and still can’t wait to see it again one day. I’m really ...

I've never been more invested in a show's fate than I am for Maybe Happy Ending! Seems I'm not alone haha. Really great week for them, I'm hoping the momentum continues. They still have work to do, but so far, I'll take the win for this week!

The average ticket price has gone up last week compared to the week prior. If anything, know that you’re helping keep the show open by paying full price. I almost never see shows for full price, generally just do rush and lottos. But after seeing this one (with a rush ticket) I immediately went and bought a full price ticket so that 1) I could guarantee a great seat, 2) so my family had an opportunity to experience this beautiful show and 3) because I’m rooting for this show to stick around a...

Hopelesslydevoted24 said: "I agree. I entered (and lost) every date the lottery offered and wasn't enticed enough to continue to pursue solely based on the marketing. In contrast, I saw Shucked first day of preview simply by walking up to the box office mid-day and picking up rush tickets."That’s really shame you gave up, you’re missing out on an absolutely incredible show. I agree the marking is meh, but I would have thought word of mouth and the 100% rave reviews from critics would have cha...

QueenAlice said: "A friend commented this week that rush for Maybe Happy Ending is in the balcony with an extremely obstructed view because of the set. He still loved the show, but I couldn't help but think - for a show that is struggling, wouldn't it be a better idea to offer better seats for rush? I feel like people who rush shows are some of the people who speak most passionately about it afterwards. They need all the good PR they can get..."I would assume their plan is to use the cheaper ...

justherehanging said: "So now I’m on the fenceeveryone seems to really like the show but pre-purchasing tickets in advance. For example I can get a great orchestra seat for 179 or I can wait and go to TKTS or the box office and hope for something good but I don’t know what to dopre-purchase for a show this weekend at 179 for a great seat or risk it and go to the box office and end up on a side"While I do think you would most likely be able to get a TKTS ticket day of, you can't guarantee the ...

I forget where I saw it (possibly reddit), but I think they actually do a have a slot to perform on one of the talk shows for tomorrow (Thursday 11/21). Don't quote me though, I can't even find where I saw that information

Ravanne_1 said: "Dkinny23 said: "Don't quote me, but I believe it's because they don't sell all of the seats in the theater. If you look at almost any future show, all of the extreme sides are greyed out for every single show, in addition to a few other seats that are directly behind poles. I don't think it's because those tickets have been bought. I think it's because of the sightlines.!"The Belasco has a maximum capacity of 1,016 seats, but given the obstruction issues cause by the set they...

These numbers evenafter all the great reviews still indicatea big financial loss. I am so heartbroken.Don’t think I can afford a trip any sooner than first week of January…I am so confused though, as others have suggested, the capacity number seems odd. MHEseemed to sell out at least three shows this week through several points of evidence....

Absolutely go see Maybe Happy Ending! I was so surprised by it. The performance was really incredible and sweet, it’ll undoubtedly leave a lasting impression on you. I already have tickets to see it again next month and am bringing my whole family! I don’t want anyone one I know (or don’t know) to miss out on this wonderful show
