Tickets go on sale 2/18, and I'm thinking of getting them to fill the last open slot on my late April/early May trip. I like Sarah Silverman, was a fan of Adam Schlesinger's, and have enjoyed Joshua Harmon's plays, so this all sounds promising, but I'd be attending the second or third preview so other than knowing some of the talent involved I'm really buying blind. Does anyone have any more intel on this one at all?
No further intel, but I’ve been excited to see this one. Sales for members opened up this past Friday, so I was able to book my ticket for May. I read Sarah Silverman’s book of the same name and enjoyed it, so am interested in seeing how this will be made into a musical. I had originally booked back in 2020, so glad they are still going through with this.
I’m waiting to see if Block and Lavin are returning.

I hadn’t even realized SJB was originally attached in 2020. If she’s back, no way am I missing this! Anyone want to speculate when casting will be announced?
I have a friend in the show and I’m fairly certain at least Block is still involved. This has been on my radar for my May trip for awhile, might have to go ahead and snag a seat when they go on sale.
Member tix went on sale this past weekend and we bought for Memorial Day weekend (our next trip to NYC). Was pleased to see 4 weekend shows so we bought Sunday night so we can fill all 4 slots. Tons of availability when we went online on the 2nd day tix were out there.
Wow! Big news! Nothing at all against Lavin and Block, but this cast is more exciting to me. This will be my 1st time seeing Neuwirth onstage, actually.
David Yazbek is now a creative consultant on the show. I wonder if he will be writing any new songs after the sad passing of Adam Schlesinger? The show will have a hard time evolving if they aren't able to add/change any music during the off-Bway run.
Grabbed a ticket yesterday for my trip in May. Beyond excited to finally see Bebe live (in a musical no less), after pleasantly yet briefly meeting her years ago at Broadway flea.
This show has all the makings of a success, I hope they stick the landing.

Are there requirements for eligibility? It came up as a "CAP $25 ticket" discount for me but I couldn't complete the order
The CAP $25 program is specifically geared towards increasing BIPOC representation in the audience. The tickets are underwritten by the Jerome L. Greene Foundation. It may be that Atlantic discontinued that specific code if the code got spread around beyond the intended recipients. (They need to put a better system in place if they don't want the code to get out to other people; theatre discount hunters are too savvy!)
Over the years, BIPOC artists have been integral partners in reaching the communities that are reflected in their stories on our stages. To support and continue these efforts, Atlantic launched the Community Audience Partnership (CAP) in spring 2019 through generous support from the JL Greene Arts Access Fund. CAP is a multifaceted program that attracts new audiences by making our shows accessible to theatergoers of all backgrounds, particularly from NYC communities of color as well as individuals from low and middle-income backgrounds. Most immediately, CAP offers up to 4,350 free or $25 tickets across every public performance of our annual productions. Tickets are either distributed online or directly through partnerships with NYC organizations serving these communities. We’ve also brought on a dedicated team of BIPOC staff to manage CAP, including a full-time Community Outreach Coordinator and 2-3 part-time ambassadors who help us forge and foster partnerships directly with NYC community organizations.
"We would like to offer $25 tickets (tickets are regularly $50+) to your community and friends for the rest of the run. Our goal is to welcome new, more diverse and less affluent folks through our doors, so we’re hoping these tickets will go to audiences largely underrepresented in Off-Broadway. If you know of anyone who would genuinely benefit from the above, we would love to invite them to our next special event. Feel free to share the schedule and code for the accessible rates."
I definitely see the intent, and, to be honest, I hadn't noticed the details. I am not entirely sure how I got on this particular distribution list, as I never signed up for the CAP program. But I do work for a nonprofit organization which could be it? So, I'll append the posting of the code above to say, only use it if you are newer, more diverse, or less affluent than the standard theatregoer.
