"The Curious Incident..." Previews- Page 5

I bought one track of the incidental music on iTunes (the music for the post-show scene, called "Maths Appendix").

I believe the album is called "Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time" on iTunes, rather than the very clever "Curious Incidentals" that shows on the artwork for the track. The composer/listed artist is Adrian Sutton. I am posting a link to the album on iTunes.

Saw this last night and thought it was fantastic. The staging and direction were beautiful, and the cast was strong but Alex Sharp's performance was tremendous. I really do hope he wins the Tony (I know it's premature to say that in September). He's giving one of the best performances I've seen in a long time.

Please post Christopher Schedule once anyone hears.
Even "suspected" schedule.
My Guess was Alternate to do Wednesday Evenings and Saturday Matinees,
but that is strictly a guess on my part.
can't wait to see this!

The music is also available on Google Play. That is where I bought it. I like listening to it at night before bed.

Thanks.
I went around 3pm today and got Box B (left) seat 4. The view was ok but I did miss a lot that happened on the left side, even though the box office rep assured me it wasn't too partial-view.

How much was your box seat?

I got a box seat and moved to the front of the box in back of me after intermission. I wouldn't complain. It was $37 and I loved the show. (The rear boxes offer the best view from what I can discern. I had a 98% view for the second act.)

I was on the house right and thought it was fine.

I find this kind of signature pretentious as well. Not necessary despite Matt's nasty rebuke.

I think Alex Sharp is very, very good. However, Bradley Cooper may prove to be a worthy competitor (he was the only thing about Three Days of Rain that was any good-and he's supposed to be amazing in The Elephant Man. Plus, this is a season chock full of plays. I don't envy anyone making decisions about these categories.)

Running time on Broadway?

I'm curious because I saw the show at the Apollo in London a year ago April, and the first act ran an hour and 45minutes. I just saw it again yesterday in London at the Geilgud, and the first act ran just over an hour. There was about a half hour cut, mostly stuff which involved Christopher's school mates and his neighbors. The second acts were exactly the same.

I don't think the show suffers any with the cuts, it's actually tighter. I guess they went back into rehearsal and rethought it after the roof caved in?

As far as alternates are concerned, I can't imagine doing this show eight times a week. Not only does Christopher never leave the stage, he spends a huge amount of time screaming at the top of his lungs.

Looking forward to seeing it in NY.

I did some digging and got a response from the Christopher Alternate in London.
They are on a different schedule (Thursday Matinees and Dark Sunday)compared to Wednesday Matinee and Dark Monday for Broadway. He does 3 Performances a week
(Monday, Thursday Matinee and Saturday Matinee). We will have to wait and see what happens with Broadway but my guess is 1 of the performances Wednesday and Saturday Matinees, with the occasional 3rd show thrown in.
or
Week 1-Wednesday Evening/Saturday Matinee
Week 2-Tuesday Evening/Wednesday Matinee/Saturday Matinee

What, if any, are the merch offerings for this show? London's was very sparse at the Apollo when I saw it there.

Thanks for the info!

Has Taylor been on yet?

Maybe this coming week will shed some light?

Any word on if the Maths Appendix has been put in yet? Seeing it again tonight... don't want to sit for ten minutes waiting for it to not happen again...

The post curtain call scene was in tonight. Fun bonus. :)

Who was on for 'Christopher' tonight?

[getatme]

Posted: 9/16/14 at 12:52am

Alexander Sharp was on tonight. Trensch hasn't gone on yet. I imagine he'll go on at least once this week, though, as it's their first "full" (7 shows) week.

Has anyone tried the rush for this lately? Are there rush tickets available later in the afternoon? Updated On: 9/16/14 at 12:58 AM

I rushed this morning. Got there at 8:15, was 3rd in line. No one joined the line until 9:15 after me. When the box office opened there were around 10 people in line. They only sell the boxes for rush which allows for 24 seats. Mostly everyone seemed to buying 2 so today the rush probably sold out quick.

Posted: 9/16/14 at 1:18am

Ah, so there's a set amount of seats. Thanks for the info.

The theater was packed tonight, and that was a joyous curtain call. What a breathtaking performance! I forgot this kid was acting. Loved the "extra" at the end!

I had a TDF ticket, and was in the rear mezz, row B. Not a bad seat, but I plan to go back with a front row mezz ticket next time. That would be perfect.

Has anyone seen it on Broadway yet who had also seen it in London? I saw it in London and while I thought it was very solid and well done I wasn't blown away. And it sounds like everyone seeing it on Broadway is being blown away! So I'd like to know if anyone can report significant differences and improvements. I don't know if I want to see it again if it is generally comparable.

Just got invited to see it this evening. Pretty excited!

Posted: 9/16/14 at 7:30pm

I'll be there tonight in the rear mezz. I've been looking forward to this for a couple years now, so I'm beyond excited. The novel is one of my all-time favorites.

TodayTix is my new favorite thing, also.
