I think this is a great way to promote the show sell those tickets... BUT I saw the show from about mid Mezz (fairly early on when it was selling much better and that was the best you could get at TKTS) and I'm not sure I saw the same show and performance of Chita that people are raving about. From what I gather her performance is subtle, which of course there is nothing wrong with, but I didn't "see" much of her acting... and I wasn't even in the balcony. I still enjoyed her performance but I didn't love it was much as possibly would have, had I been able to physically see more of it, i.e. had I been closer.
I wonder if they would be better off with a really good discount for orchestra seats, where people can enjoy what is no doubt a great performance, and then get the word of mouth going... But probably it's too late for word of mouth at this point anyway...

Even if Chita wins the Tony, it doesn't mean the show will have a boost at the box office. Remember that Boyd Gaines won his "Best Actor in a Musical" Tony for SHE LOVES ME, only to have the show shutter a few weeks later. Sad but true.

That production of SHE LOVES ME had been running for over a year -- first at Roundabout, then reopening in a commercial production -- by the time it closed.

Does anyone know how we can buy these tickets for $19? Telecharge hasn't changed the prices on their website to reflect the announcement, and when I called Telecharge the attendant I spoke to had no idea what I was talking about.

^ TRUE...I just contacted telecharge and was told that they have not been advised with any price changes reflecting what was said last night posted by OP and BWW.
Balcony is $59 and rear mezzanine prices are $79-$99 still!
Any updates on when the balcony and rear mezzanine seats will be offered for $19.75?

I checked last night. The tickets still don't seem to be selling like crazy.

^ TRUE as it is not being advertised to the general public.
As far as I can see only those that go on Playbill or BWW know of this offer...it is not being advertised on their website etc.
With offering balcony and last row mezzanine tix for $19.75 no reason why those sections are not sold-out...it's a steal at that price to see this show!

I saw it tonight. Rees was out again. Hope he is okay. His understudy is great.
I was in the last row of the mezz, but the usher told us right away that we'd be able to move up. We moved to 5th row center of the mezz. Perfect seats.
So I love Chita in general, and I really enjoyed the movement of the younger characters. But I'm just gonna say it - I thought the show was just bizarre. It just wasn't my cup of tea.
But for $20 and 5th row mezz I'm happy I went :)

On the Visit website it states Tom Nelis is Anton Schell.

When I saw the show on May 13, I thought Rees was only out for the evening performance - it doesn't seem like anyone had any idea he would be our for so long. I guess Tom is now on in the role until further notice? I'm a big fan or Rees, but I thought Tom Nelis was superior in the role! Very glad he has this chance to perform, but also wishing Rees well and hope this isn't anything serious.

I really think there is no hope for this show financially any more, unless it wins Best Musical. However, I am so glad they recorded this and I hope everyone involved is proud of their efforts. Has the Lincoln Archive stopped by yet?
"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)
"Sondheim's own favorite star performances? [Bernadette] Peters in ''Sunday in the Park,'' Lansbury in ''Sweeney Todd'' and ''obviously, Ethel was thrilling in 'Gypsy.'' Nytimes, 2000

I really thought the selling point of Chita's last collaboration with Kander & Ebb in their last show would be more of a draw.
Maybe it's just too dark and weird?
....but the world goes 'round

I don't think the show's subject matter (or mixed reviews) have helped, but Chita just isn't really a box office draw. A Dancer's Life didn't have a very long run, and Drood's ticket sales, which weren't really terrific anyway, didn't seem to be boosted much at all by her presence in the show. She's a legend, no doubt, but I don't think she's very familiar to the general public.
I am a firm believer in serendipity- all the random pieces coming together in one wonderful moment, when suddenly you see what their purpose was all along.

Perhaps take this with a grain of salt, but someone on All That Chat posted that Rees is unwell.
#47THE VISIT to offer $19.75 seats through June 7th
Posted: 5/23/15 at 11:56amIf true, that is awful news. I hope he's ok. He's wonderful in the role. I wonder if we'll get an annoucement on Tuesday?
