Yeah, I was so disappointed about the opening night. Probably going to be the same for Audience Rewards presale. Because that's the only time I want to go. Hopefully it will be open for general public."
There are almost NEVER tickets released for opening night at the beginning of sales. They don't yet know how many they need to give to producers and bigwigs yet. Often, IF there will be any, they don't get released for public sales a week or two ahead of time.
"Yeah, I wouldn’t pin all my hopes on going to opening night. Especially with a show like this, that will most likely not be open to the public as most openings are not.

Thanks for the info! That's really helpful!

Posted: 10/3/19 at 10:57amI was able to get through my selected Amex regular. Not Amex preferred. Amex preferred only shows premium.

I got A106 to pop up on mobile for regular price at the first preview, so I pounced on it. On the desktop version, those seats don't seem to be popping up.

That first hour was a bit frustrating with it not working, but in the end, I got the exact seats and date I wanted. That rarely happens, so I’m happy!

Posted: 10/3/19 at 1:46pmMe too! Just FYI there is a Thursday matinee the week before the Tony Awards since they don’t have a performance the day of the awards. An extra slot for my visit!

I'm very surprised that they are only doing 18 previews. I'm assuming it's a little less because they wanted to open on Sondheim's 90th.

I looked at three dates in April just to get an idea of prices and locations and it told me there were no seats available on any of the dates, which I find hard to believe. They must have released a very small percentage of inventory for the AmEx pre-sale.

Posted: 10/3/19 at 4:31pmI found that inventory opened up completely when I specifically clicked “I want American Express Seating” and UN-CLICKED the premium seating options. Otherwise, all I saw available was Premiums and Preferred seats only. Telecharge is a scam.

Yes, that worked. Thank you.
Now I have to decide if it's worth yet another $40 to be in front mezz as opposed the front row of the rear mezz.

Posted: 10/3/19 at 4:41pmI love the new pic/artwork on the official website with Katrina Lenk surrounded by the colorful birthday balloons.

Wow, this was quite the trick! I like my seat, but I would've preferred being on the aisle, which shows up with your method.

I’ll be traveling when this opens, but had no trouble getting fabulous seats for June, when I’m back in NYC.
I saw this in London, and am so eager to see it with the NY cast!

Ah, sorry I didn’t post sooner ljay! May be worth calling Telecharge to see if they’d do an even exchange if the aisle seat is still available at the same price?

The photos of Katrina and pants further make me wonder if her interpretation will be of a powerful, sexy woman that has men at her fingertips rather than a more wholesome, girl-next-door type that is trying to make her way in life but not quite getting there (Craig)...until the end of the show of course.
"You can't overrate Bernadette Peters. She is such a genius. There's a moment in "Too Many Mornings" and Bernadette doing 'I wore green the last time' - It's a voice that is just already given up - it is so sorrowful. Tragic. You can see from that moment the show is going to be headed into such dark territory and it hinges on this tiny throwaway moment of the voice." - Ben Brantley (2022)
"Bernadette's whole, stunning performance [as Rose in Gypsy] galvanized the actors capable of letting loose with her. Bernadette's Rose did take its rightful place, but too late, and unseen by too many who should have seen it" Arthur Laurents (2009)

Also, I know it's typical of many shows these days but it's quite funny that basically all of the center orchestra seats are premium. It seems a little...ambitious!

Posted: 10/4/19 at 1:02pmI saw lots of center orchestra seats that were not premium and was actually surprised at that.

Posted: 10/4/19 at 1:19pmIs anyone else having problems with Telecharge’s seating map for this? It keeps telling me I need to download that silverlight plugin but it’s not a problem looking at the 3D seatmap of any other show.

I think this is exactly what they’re going for. Even styling her with the big hoop earrings lends itself to this interpretation. I think she’s going to be totally sexy and irresistible in the role.

Okay but when are we getting the announcement of the rest of the cast!?

Katrina's interpretation of Being Alive is what I'm most curious about. Raul set the standard so high, I wonder how she will do with it.
#797Phone rings, door chimes, in comes COMPANY!
Posted: 10/4/19 at 5:54pmI'm willing to wait to buy tickets as I'm not expecting this to be a big box office hit and will hope for a discount. Also eagerly awaiting the full cast announcement.
A Chorus Line revival played its final Broadway performance on August 17, 2008. The tour played its final performance on August 21, 2011. A new non-equity tour started in October 2012 played its final performance on March 23, 2013. Another non-equity tour launched on January 20, 2018. The tour ended its US run in Kansas City and then toured throughout Japan August & September 2018.

Could they do a Boyd Gaines and Patti Lupone pairing again?

My hunch is it will fall somewhere between his anguished near breakdown and Craig's more plaintive interpretation.
