Just got an email and bought a ticket. Pretty darn expensive but that is the way of all things these days.

Except for the lighting designer, it's the same creative team as at the Atlantic.

Hopefully, with this revival, the script will finally get published commercially.

Those are some ludicrous prices. I suppose someone will pay them, but I think I’ll be waiting for rush or lottery, even as an admirer of Adam Driver’s acting talent.

$104 in the back is fine.

Such a GREAT play!!!  And a great showcase for an actor.

Just a PSA: avoid the back of the mezz here, and try to opt for aisle seats if you're in the orchestra. The Lucille Lortel's rake is an abomination.

A celebrity performing a good show in a small venue equals expensive. I don't mind, he's a brilliant talent. Exciting.

this venue is the worst!

I don't know. Sometimes, he overacts IMO.

FYI, tickets are $15 cheaper through the Lortel's website, rather than the show's official site/TodayTix.

ugh what

The Lortel doesn't charge the $15 fee per ticket that the other sellers do.

Posted: 8/1/24 at 12:48pm

yes I got that, wish I knew that before I bought through the official website, TodayTix is beyond shady

Thanks Taffy!

$84 for a mezz aisle seat.  Yes I read the warnings about the mezz. Just don't want to break the bank.

Saw this after I paid the extra $15! Very annoying.

TodayTix?

The official show's website takes you to a page that according to the terms of service link is called North American Tickets.  An email address is directed to tixculture.com.

And lortel.org sells the tix without a fee.

Can it get any more confusing?

The show's official website says "Powered By TodayTix," so, yeah, all those other company names that show up are affiliated with it. Generally, I believe that if your order number begins with a "T," it's through TodayTix.

Has anyone who ordered tickets directly from the Lucille Lortel's site received a confirmation email? I ordered mine yesterday a couple of hours after the announcement and hadn't received anything (though I did see an order confirmation web page and at least had the presence of mind to make a PDF out of it and add the Apple Wallet pass to my phone).

[inception]

Posted: 8/2/24 at 3:22pm

Yes, I received a confirmation email immediately with a PDF of tickets attached.

[ijest22]

Posted: 8/2/24 at 4:36pm

I also did not receive a confirmation email. I bought two tickets and the links on the webpage, which referenced both tickets, were both to only one of the tickets. I copied the page to bring to the box office.

I didn’t receive an email confirmation either, so I emailed the box office yesterday.  This morning, I received the email confirmation with an attached PDF ticket, and another email from the box office letting me know that they had emailed me the ticket.

For those who saw the play at Atlantic - apart from the star power, how's the play? I only have a couple of remaining open spots in a packed November trip and am wondering if this should be competing for them with Our Town, Hills of California, Left on Tenth, Death Becomes Her, and Maybe Happy Ending.

Here's a review of the original production:

To me Left on Tenth looks like the easiest to cut from that list.

I remember loving it at the Atlantic.

Timothy Olyphant was great and on stage almost the entire show.  I think it was maybe close to 3 hours.

The ending was very strong and emotional.

Looking forward to seeing it again.

"Joining Driver as Strings McCrane are Heather Burns as Nancy, Adelaide Clemens as Essie, Keith Nobbs as Jimmy, CJ Wilson as Duke, and Frank Wood as Mitch."

Clemens, Nobbs, and Wood are reprising the roles they originated in the original Atlantic production.

Jonathan Hogan originated the part of Mitch downtown.  He was incredible!

Frank Wood is a good choice for this revival.
