Anyone have any more info on casting besides Takei? I'm sort of surprised they haven't announced more given that tickets go on sale Monday and they should be in rehearsals already.
All these posts here saying "Tickets are going fast!", makes me smile when I used to sit in the Winter Garden Theatre in 1976 watching the show with the theatre less than half full- all 17 times I saw it!
''Pacific Overtures'' is classic Sondheim, so it still excites. But let's face it: Classic Stage Company only has a seating capacity of 199 seats, so the ticket availability is gonna be much tighter.
I saw CSC's 2013 production of Passion (John Doyle directed also) and they had a 9-piece orchestra that did the score justice, and Rob Berman, who is music supervisor for PO was either music director or music supervisor for Passion. So that makes me hopeful they'll do this beautiful score justice as well.
Do we think there is any chance this will extend? I was hoping to see this but I only get to NY the day after it closes. So even just a week-long extension would work for me...
SO happy. Grabbed 2 on the aisle for Thurs May 11.
Thought I'd re-share Ed Cachianes's excellent video collage of Pacific Overtures, that I recall both Sondheim and Frank RIch have praised https://youtu.be/--EZV2uY8-8
