American Utopia on Broadway

Either of the upstairs sections at the Hudson is pretty good.

That said, not sure if you were on their official site but if you do go there you'll see that most dates' seat maps are barely sold. Given that, I can't imagine you'll have trouble between discount codes, rush, TDF, and TKTS (where the first preview is currently up for 50% off).

There are some decently priced seats upstairs. I SO want to see this as I am a Byrne/Talking Heads fan.

I sat upstairs for 1984 in the first row. It is cramped. Not sure about the rows behind but I plan to get a seat up there for this.

Also, does anybody know why The Hudson got rid of those packages where you could pay a little extra and you had a drink from the bar and could use the lounge? (I did it for 1984) It had different levels that offered different things.They offer some deal now, but it is way more expensive.

Theatermania has a code out for select dates in October. May grab one of those tomorrow.

BroadwayBen said: "I saw the show tonight, and I paid $129, and it was worth every dollar. It's just amazing. David Byrneseemed sweetly nervous for his "first night on Broadway" but he and all the dancers and musicians nailed it, and they honestly seemed to be having the best time. It's visually amazing too, with these enormous chains that surround the cast and cool lighting. It's alsomoving and takes into account this moment we're living inat times. The audience loved it too, and the theatre seemed very if not completely full. I was rear mezzanine and it was a great seat. The theatre is pretty small, so you can really feel everything. Well worth it."

What is the running time? I know I saw it somewhere but can't remember.

biting the bullet and buying these expensive tickets. Does anyone think there will be a different energy to the show during a Sunday Matinee?

Are the songs listed in the Playbill?

It is definitely more of a concert with a performance art vibe than a show with a narrative or anything, at least based on what I saw him touring...

Can anyone who saw the tour confirm whether this is pretty much the same show, or has Alex Timbers added new elements worth checking out?

Jay Lerner-Z said: "Listen to the American Utopia album, released last year. If you like that, you'll probably like the show."

I have listened to the album a few times. Not something I would play a lot but I like it and I like him. I keep thinking that it would really sound good, oreven better, live.

For clarification, the show contains song other than those on the 'American Utopia" album that released in March 2018, so, in my mind, liking or not liking the album may not necessarily be an accurate measure of whether one would like or not like the show. In contrast, (and for others similarly situated) I had never listened to the album and I adored the show. I also think you could think the album was so-so and still love the show given the large part various production elements (like choreography) and other Byrne/Talking Heads songs play in the stage show. I think you just have to be open to Byrne's vibe and performance art sensibility. If you already like him, then the show probably is for you, but for those who didn't love the album, I wouldn't rule out seeing the show.. It is a unique, uplifting ride. Even songs I was not familiar with instantly grabbed me and provided a satisfying artistic whole.
