I will be in NY for a few days and booked my trip before the announcement of The Normal Heart. I would love love love to see this but am leaving the day Previews start. Have any of you ever heard of previews before the previews - a dress rehearsal or something? Is this ever done and if so - how do I score tickets?
Shows typically have an "invited dress" one or two days before the first preview, when they perform their final dress rehearsal in front of an invited audience, but, as noted above, you have to know someone who can wrangle you an invitation. Though lately there seems to be a theme of shows cancelling their invited dress (Spider-Man, Rock of Ages re-opening), and some shows don't have them at all (War Horse).
