You tried Yankee! But yeah, I'm not surprised they picked this theater, even if it is kind of small.

Why am I not surprised that my thread was deleted?

That's the 'hit' play of the season wrapped up.

Wolverine and James Bond... Wow! This is going to be hard to top, as long as the play is promising. I think we can all agree that the acting will be superb.

They're having $31.50 student tickets it says. Do you think those will be tickets you can get in advance, or are they simply referring to the student rush program they will implement?

But geez, I feel like I'd have to get there at like 6 a.m. on a Saturday if I'm to get student rush tickets.

All I know is that I HAVE to see this somehow. I missed Jackman in The Boy From Oz. But him and Daniel Craig on one stage together? I might die.

I do believe this will be sold out before tickets even go on sale.


Some people paint, some people sew, I meddle.

Hope the Telecharge system for the first few hours of sales will hold up!

I'm curious as to what the deal is with the $31.50 student tickets. If they're not on sale with the rest of the tickets on Saturday, I guess I should just wait and rush it if that's what it's referring to.

I doubt the producers would announce student tickets, if they're rush seats, that they would NOT hold for students only. They must have a set number of seats set aside for the rush, or for students if they go on sale on Saturday. I guess I'll wait for those tickets. Otherwise, I'm spending over double for the $66 seats.

My job isn't going to get much work out of me tomorrow -- I'll be hanging on to the phone for dear life. And I'm SURE this is going to be like what happened to me with Phantom when it first opened in 1988 -- on the first day of ticket sales, the lines were busy from 12:00 midnight until I finally got through -- at 9 the next morning! Yeesh, what we do for love!!!

Not tomorrow - Saturday.

It's still only Thursday!

When tickets went on sale for Paul Newman in Our Town in Connecticut-they actually broke the exchange from the sheer volume of calls. Expect this will be the same.

Thanks -- I guess I was concentrating on the first day of previews, not the date that AE tickets go on sale. I was getting ready to call in sick tomorrow -- won't be necessary, now. Thanks for pointing that out.

It is interesting to note that according to the BWW report ( see the BIOGRAPHIES section), Hugh Jackman will be playing the role of DENNY and Daniel Craig will assume the role of JOEY.

I'm a little new at the whole buying-tickets-before-the-play-opens thing. Every Broadway show I've ever bought tickets for has been a show that's already been running for at least a few months.

So can anyone tell me -- will there be any discount codes available, or are those of us trying to buy ASAP going to have to pay full price?

Thanks for any advice. I'm responsible for buying tickets for a group of my friends, so I'd like to get us all the best deal I can.

There will not be any discounts for this show. It has two huge stars in it and it is only running for 12 weeks.

I suggest you buy tickets on the first day of the presale, as the entire run will probably sell out that day.

I totally agree with Without a Trace. This pair is practically critic-proof and cheap seats just won't be there. Remember what happened when Nathan Lane and Matthew Broderick were in The Odd Couple -- the show was totally sold out for its run before it had started previews -- and the combo of Jackman/Craig is going to be more powerful than Lane/Broderick (no disrespect to either of them). I think it's a case of biting the bullet and paying full price, plus charges. I know that's a bitter pill, but sometime it must be swallowed.

I'm hoping this doesn't sell out in presale--I really want to see it, but I don't have an American Express card.

That's really rough on people who don't have them. I know my dad will let me borrow his, but if I couldn't do that, I'd be pretty unhappy over the whole thing.
