Thanks for any help in advance!"yeah it is pretty hit or miss. LCT does NOT hold back rush seats so basically you have to show up ad hope for the best. In general yes they will sell rush tickets only if they cannot sell...

re: DBH & M. Hilty. She'll be back! After the out of town try out(was there only 1 in Chicago)? and the 1 year plus broadway run, Hilty needed a much deserved break. I believe she has relatively young children.. I expect a summer or perhaps Fall return for Hilty.

Jordan Catalano said: "God, I can barely sit still I’m so excited to see this in a few weeks."you and me both. I have a week of London theater in early March. This show along with INTO THE WOODS was the impetus for the whole trip. Cannot wait!

Thanks for the additional info. Agreed with Tonys cost and the fees BUT I don't think the stars get any bumps if the show grosses over $1 Million. I doubt any bumps kick in until after the show has recouped. But anyway fair enough on the rest. Well maybe one day it will be profitable.

By my calculation, Death Becomes Her SHOULD recoup in early Spring 2026.They've grossed $63 Million in 46 weeks of performances. Assuming their weekly nut is $900K that is about $450K profit per week ($1.35 Million avg gross per week).Total profit of $21.6 Million or about 70% of their $31.5 Million CAP. At this rate they would recoup in about 70 weeks total which should be some time around March/April 2026... Assuming they can keep up these grosses which have remained strong. And there could...

I liked that clip A LOT Better once they got rid of that damn shopping cart. You are what you wear is NOT set at Target darlings.

Each actor is performing in their natural accent. Corden = British.

Which side has the possibility of greater obstruction?Thanks"We sat in house left Row F and had no obstruction. The "set" is really all very center and all action takes place in the main part of the stage. I can't imagine either side is obstructed. That said the "main door" entrance is on the right so you might miss a very brief entrance sitting in h...

I caught the preview tonight. The production is in great shape, and James Corden's big speech brought down the house. Overall a solid production of a play that I was not familiar with. Loved the casting--brilliant choices and direction.For those looking for cheap tickets, well they do have rush tickets. A friend was generous and offered to line up about 6:30am. First in line and got side orchestra row F. Great view and not obstructed.

hrmm... guess I need to subscribe to better paper services. Not sure the etiquette of naming services so I won't go into details, but the two that I belong to have HAD NOTHING for this show. Except for Joanna Day during that week in July..Any suggestions (on better paper services?)

So the grosses are abysmal. Jean has done the press tours. Nobody is buying tickets.When will this show finally offer some paper to at least partially fill the house? Like come on people throw us a bone here...

MemorableUserName said: "While DBH has proven it doesn't necessarily need its stars to succeed, nice to see it got a boost. Having the four main principals in Thursday, Friday and Saturday night, and Sunday matinee, had to have helped a bit."Curious to see what this weeks' grosses look like. Simard is out all week (planned vacation) bur presumably Hilty will be in on reduced schedule and Williams/Seber will be in as well. I'm anxious to go back, but def want to see all 4 stars so might wait a...

has anyone tried in person rush at the box office? Curious where the seats have been located. Thanks

Wayman_Wong said: "For those keeping track of Kieran Culkin's attendance record at awards shows, he delighted the audience at Sunday's SAG Awards with another of his comic and spontaneous acceptance speeches. (Video below.) And for the record, Oscar voting ended last Tuesday, so his appearance or possible no-show at the SAGs will have no bearing on whether he wins an Academy Award this Sunday. Like the members of BAFTA, the Oscar voters will vote ostensibly based on Culkin's appearance on the...

for the telecharge lotteries, definitely enter before the first drawing of the morning which is usually 10AM. I believe that is the main lottery draw for winners, and the 3pm drawing is only to replace 10am winners who did not purchase tickets.Broadway direct does not have this policy and only has one drawing at 2pm/3pm/4pm depending on the show.

This is the out of state college student that Ken Davenport now employs... Take it with a grain of salt."help me understand the math here. Gatsby as an example.The Great Gatsby - $1.3 million gross, 92% capacity, $120 atp (Up ~$293k from last week)Gross Less-Fees: $1.165 million; Estimated Weekly Operating Cost: $850k/week; Estimated Profit (Loss): $164kEstimated profit of $164K is not what the math shows. Gross less fees of $1.165M minus Weekly Op costs $850k = $315K. Why are they only repor...

I don't believe the first preview is any indication at how well a show is selling. that said I did spot check on telecharge and seems about 75% full for the first two weeks of previews. Looking a bit head to May/June it's selling okay but again still in that 50-60% sold so far. I hardly call this a huge hit.My opinion still stands. It's a topic/musician that people don't know and it's a pretty sad story to tell.As with all (ok most) shows I wish them well and I will see it. But I would not re...

"Certainly, she does not sell tickets."Literally this is true. I have never seen Idina behind the box office window at the Nederlander. Maybe one day... I did hear that she was at the read for Ali if they needed her over at Tommy. I believe her ghost still lives upstairs collecting Rent royalty checks.

I sincerely hope K. Culkin's sick loved one is okay. but this guy sure seems like a DIVA.He missed the big awards (critics choice, WGA) in LA last weekend due to rehearsals for GGR. ok fine. Committed but he has a real chance for an Oscar and his Director/Screenwriter Eisenberg would have loved his support. That stage looked empty without anyone else there.Now he misses BAFTA because of a sick family member. I'm sorry sweetie, but the show must go on. Get on the plane. London is 5 hours away ...

a few comments/suggestions. I'm not sure how often you visit NYC but a few things to consider.1) Death Becomes Her. The OG stars (Hilty, Simard) will likely only be in the show through Fall 2025. They might extend beyond that, but not guaranteed. and they both could easily leave after Tonys if something "better" comes along. that said both have had mixed successes so a solid paycheck in a long-running show is hard to say goodbye to.2) Oh Mary I would absolutely see. I only saw the OG cast (tw...
