That’s going to be exhausting for the actors. This play is longer than “Angels” and is at the very least as emotionally draining, if not more. Personally, I needed that time to really digest part one before I saw part two but I am curious what it will feel like just watching them both straight through.

Is that for both parts?
Check out my eBay page for sales on Playbills!!

It's per part. For the first preview, I see premium prices at $299. Personally I never understood premium prices during first week of previews (c'mon it's a preview....) but hey if they can sell those seats at those prices, then good for them! I see front row mezz going for $159 which is cheaper than side orchestra. I need to think about this throughout the day today but I might buy a front row center mezz ticket at that price!

Angels was at least 7.5 hours in length and is a much headier play in structure and execution. This is hardly as hard to consume.
Just bought tickets. Word of warning: the Telecharge site doesn't make this very clear or easy, unlike Harry Potter. I would recommend doing one of the pre-sales if you're interested to avoid a rush and added stress.
The site does not allow you to buy tickets to both plays at once. You have to buy your tickets to part one and then start over and buy tickets to part two. They have little notices that say "Don't forget to buy your tickets to part 2!" but that's about it. I'm happy I have my seats, but I wish they had done this differently. Part of why Potter was so fun (for me) is that getting tickets was remarkably easy and clear.
Also, there are seats at the back of the house for $60. Seeing a two part play for $120 plus taxes and fees really isn't a bad deal.

I don't know, there's a belief that a new work does have more economic potential than a revival –– IF it gets the rave reviews that it got in London and can attract the right type of audience. Remember,Angelsis also sort of oversaturated: it hadthe Mike Nichols HBO miniseries, and within the last 10 years was seen in NYC at Signature and at BAM (the Ivo Van Hove production)."
And then there was the National Theatre Live broadcast, which I thought did the production a great injustice and almost kept me from seeing it on Broadway. "The Inheritance" wasn't broadcast, was it?
Has anyone been able to buy tickets recently? My friend is trying to get tickets for October but we get this error:
"There are no seats available for your selected dates and seating sections. Please try again with different dates and/or seating sections. Regular (non-discount) seating may also be available."
I wasn't using a discount. Sounds like a telecharge glitch?

They're only on sale to Audience Rewards members right now, so unless your friend is a member, that's probably why.
I grabbed the front row center mezz seats as well. Seems like the best value if you want to still have a “premium” seat and not from a **** load of money
Just been actually reading this thing. The book was all over NY bookstores last winter, but I didn't pick up a copy figuring it would be easy to find once I was home. Well that was a mistake. Anyways, ordered a copy & it took almost a month to show up. Wow! I'm glad I held off buying tickets until I read it. It's a shallow soap opera, much worse than even a Jaqueline Sussan novel. I'm not going to post any spoilers, but I do have a question that is more about gay NY history. Early in part 1, a character mentions meeting his long-term partner in 1980 at the East Side Club. From friends who have been, I know the place sounds old & grotty, I guess like some of the old places we still had here in the late 90's, that have since been torn down for condos. So I'm guessing that maybe it (the East Side Club) has been there since 1980 or before. My questoon is, if it has been around since that time, why didn't it get shut down with all the other NY baths back in the 80's?
Also, reading this thing, made me think of Terrance McNally's "The Ritz," which the movie version of was played on TCM last month for the anniversary of Stonewall. Even though it is a pretty broad and silly comedy there is sooooo much about baths culture that still rings true (I almost wrote wrings! LOL). F. Murray Abraham wandering about in a towel desperate, could be anyone on a Saturday night at Steamworks. And who hasn't spent a night being chased by their very own Paul Price? (I got chased as a twink, & just when I was relieved that I was probably too old & out of shape to be chased by anyone else, I discovered a new group of perverts who were into me! )
Anyways, to me, nothing in The Inheritance feels real. And SPOILERS I have f'd with methed out street boys. 100% this play gets that ALL wrong. The thing is like getting stuck reading through the comments on somebody's facebook post, where every queen & wannabe feels like they have to try & make some witty response. And then other people feel the need to chime in & remind you that Trump is bad.
Why is no one talking about the lead guy coming over here from London being actually straight playing a gay role in America. Seems like a double standard now - we are calling out tons of straight actors for taking away jobs from the LGBTQ+ community but this still happens without anything being said? Seems ridiculous.

You're asking why people aren't complaining about a casting choice that hasn't even been confirmed? And he is American...
As for him being straight, I fail to see the issue when many of the rest of the people involved are not. It's not like they purposefully avoided hiring gay actors for the London production.
