But on the day before, the prices of the remaining tickets apparently go down (dynamic pricing taketh away, and sometimes dynamic pricing giveth) so I was able to get a single close front orchestra ticket that started at $799+ for about $400. I let myself buy one expensive ticket per ...
Re: Artificial Intelligence in the Theatre
I am a bit floored that the example of how a lighting designer could be replaced by AI is the Tony Award-winning work of Bradley King on Hadestown. Seriously? The show has been playing on Broadway since 2019, won Best Musical, just had its live capture make a boatload of money - and that all happened even though the lighting sucked?‘Wait for Me’ alone is a rebuttal.
Re: MAYBE HAPPY ENDING Reviews
I have reached the point where I just take the creative team at their word. They don’t believe the robots need to be played by Asian-American actors and probably think they are playing the long game for when the show is licensed. (We will see how that plays out.) The Asian-American cast angle was helpful for the Tony Awards and then turned into an unwanted burden for the producers and creatives after that.I don’t think they have any illusions that Jackson is going to save the show but are mak...
Re: SPRING AWAKENING revival (Off-Broadway at Studio Seaview)
The good news is that I am arriving on my New York City trip in time to see the revival. The bad news is that I am arriving just before the last weekend and already have shows booked on Friday and Saturday nights. I have never seen Spring Awakening in person and my spouse is very interested.This could be challenging.Prices for the initial run look high. Is that pretty much the way it is (i.e. no discounts)? Another dumb questions: I signed up for the presale, but is Wednesday only for s...
Re: early Tony award predictions 2027
I am at least a little skeptical about Warriors. Yes, there’s hype about the show because of Miranda’s involvement but the score, based on the album, is probably his least accessible to the average Broadway audience. The direction is a mystery, and without Miranda, everyone would think of it as another B-movie adaptation with a twist.Warriors might end up being terrific on stage (as someone who plans to buy tickets in advance, I hope so) but I’m not ready to hand it all the major awards just ...

Re: Shuffle Along Reunion Concert
I am envious reading everyone’s raves from across the country but am thrilled to see the performance was recorded. ‘Pennsylvania Graveyard Shuffle’ is one of my favorite Broadway memories and I was always frustrated it never turned up anywhere. It sounds like a wonderful time was had by all.

Re: Prince’s PURPLE RAIN opening at the Majestic in April
I was glancing at the performance of recent biomusicals and few have done all that well even when the lead actor won a Tony Award. Dolly falls in the mold of the classic biomusical and Parton’s recent death will probably draw more attention - and even some kinder reviews, given her role in helping to write it.Purple Rain is a mystery but I assume it will mostly be a film adaptation with some extra Prince songs. It’s true that a musician’s popularity does not automatically translate to box off...

quizking101 said: “Well, DOLLY has a 3-4 month head start. Her recent passing will also be a factor in driving sales upward since people will want to see it as a form of tribute, and it also may have the ability to be a show that the people from the flyover states want to come to see in NYC. I don’t see Purple Rain having that same impact.However, the “diva-in-triplicate” format of jukebox musicals also has a limited shelf life due to novelty, but also the ability to find suitable replacement...
Re: Lincoln Center Theater 2026-2027 Season
Just out of curiosity, was general admission seat selection (aside from the far sides) any better this morning or are options in the center three sections still slim pickings? Prices for orchestra far sides are better ($216 online) than they were for the Amex presale last week ($281). The prices in the loge are the same, at least for now, so I don’t have to feel foolish yet.
Sound of Music Presale on Amex
I am pretty much with you, schubox, except my wife wants to see it. I have found it a little too cloying in the past but have never seen a major production. I probably was premature in buying tickets during the Amex presale (sitting center loge, paid $145.50 per ticket) but my guess was that prices for previews won’t ever get that cheap.I am looking forward to viewing the musical with fresh eyes. Maybe I will be underwhelmed again but my family will be happy to see the show. And Lincoln Cente...

This was mentioned in another thread, but are people expecting Black Swan to transfer next spring? Or is that another unknown?

Re: Lincoln Center Theater 2026-2027 Season
I might have been better off waiting for general admission next week but ticket prices for the orchestra would have to drop a lot to make it worthwhile. I didn’t want to pay more than $200 per ticket, or anything close, to see this revival.My operating assumption for high-profile musical revivals like this one is that it’s hard to get bargains if you’re trying to see it early, which I have to do because that’s when my trip is scheduled. It will probably be easy enough later unless the revival...
Re: Lincoln Center Theater 2026-2027 Season
Prices as of now: Orchestra seats are $321 in the center three sections, $281 on the far sides. The front row of loge towards the center is also $281. The AmEx presale doesn’t appear to apply there.We chose the fourth row of center loge - for $145.50 - because the third row was about $90 more. I have no idea about how the show will be staged so I decided against the cheaper seats on the far sides in loge. Those could turn out to be bargains. There are plenty of loge seats available at the mom...
Re: & Juliet Closing in January
A San Francisco regional theater is doing Once Upon a One More Time, the Britney Spears musical, this fall - so any rights issues aren’t a problem for that show. I assume the same will be true for & Juliet, a much more successful musical. It should do very well in licensing.
Re: Lincoln Center Theater 2026-2027 Season
The orchestra prices for non-members were more than we wanted to spend, and availability wasn’t great, so we got center loge (fourth row) for $145.50 each under the American Express presale for early April. I have never sat in the loge at Lincoln Center so that will be interesting.There are plenty of American Express loge seats available, both at higher price points and some cheaper ones on the far sides.
