Should I splurge on the $66 seats or wait and see what this student ticket policy is?

I'm probably going to do the latter .. I really wanna see this show.

You can always get cancellation tickets. Then you also avoid the service charges.

I'll be a contrarian and predict that this will not sell out during the pre-sale. Great as they are, neither Jackman nor Craig is Paul Newman (who is?) and The Odd Couple had the unique power of recreating the it team at the time combined with a very well-known commodity as a play. So if you don't have an Amex, my guess is you'll still be able to get a ticket.

That being said, I think it will be a difficult ticket by the time it opens, and I doubt there will ever be discount codes or such. So, I'll probably getting mine during the presale to be sure.

(which actually is a really good sign to all you discount hunters, because I have notoriously bad luck in jumping to pay full price on shows that end up having discounts galore -- like "Equus," most recently)

So apparently the student tickets are rush tickets because this is what Telecharge has up as far as ticket pricing info:

Orchestra: $125.00
Mezzanine (Rows A-F): $125.00
Mezzanine (Rows G-H): $86.50
Mezzanine (Rows J-K): $66.50

Friday - Saturday evenings:
Orchestra: $130.00
Mezzanine (Rows A-F): $130.00
Mezzanine (Rows G-H): $91.50
Mezzanine (Rows J-K): $71.50


----

So my question is...do you think they'll have seats set aside specifically for the student rush?

I'm really hoping this doesn't mean Jackman's Houdini musical isn't happening...

$ 130 for a straight play?

Michael Jackson & Jesus Christ could be in it & no way would I pay that. Mrs R wanted to see it but when she saw the price she said , and I quote , "Are they out of their ******* minds"

That's life

$130 for a 90-minute show is what gets me.

With all of the extra charges, that's like almost $2 per minute's worth of entertainment some people are paying for. Updated On: 7/9/09 at 07:40 PM

In a recession no less. If people have money to waste on it fine. These are some of the same people who would not give a bum on the street the time of day.

Is it only a 90 minute show?

The original Chicago play was 90 minutes with no intermission.

Looks like the perfect show to do SRO for.

"The original Chicago play was 90 minutes with no intermission."

True, but it felt like HOURS. Play sucks.

PEACE.

I guess Variety didn't feel that it sucked -- sounds like an almost-rave to me.

WiCkEDrOcKS, I would say that if they are announcing student prices ahead of time like this, they will have a set row (at least) of student tix.

I think I'm going to plan on getting their ridiculously early one day and just get student rush or SRO.

Anyone know if the stage at the Schoenfeld is high (say, in comparison to the Imperial Theatre)?

I know it's steep but we're gonna try for the $125 orchestra seats for a peformance on my birthday. I so want to be able to brag that I spent my 50th birthday with my husband, Hugh Jackman AND Daniel Craig. That may take away some of the pain of turning half a century old !!!!
