for some reason, it's not a tough ticket.
I would guess that it might have something to do with a lack of promotion. I've barely seen any at all. I'd venture that many people don't even realize the production is up and running.

I would recommend that, jbm2. It's better than any play currently running on Broadway. CRIPPLE OF INISHMAAN is probably the only thing that comes close but more so if you're a big Martin McDonagh fan.
saw this on Sunday and really enjoyed it. Offerman is incredible, he really becomes the character (and my wife enjoyed his butt). Mullaney is great but a little shrill (considering that's how she is in everything, that might not be correctable). Great story, terrific sets, very well done in a theater where there are no bad seats.
Go see this.

Couldn't agree more with the above poster. A good play, well acted with an amazing set. I think they've deliberately kept this a low key affair but it's a great show that seems to be falling under the radar. Certainly worth watching to see a totally different dramatic side to both Nick Offerman and Megan Mullally. One week left, catch it while you can.

I went today, and I agree with the other positive reviews -- a good play, well-acted (especially by Offerman). There were a couple of slight problems -- for example, the annoying blackouts at the start, as others have mentioned. I also agree with Isherwood's point that the "reveal" was kind of artificially delayed. But those are quibbles. I'm really glad I got off the fence and caught this in time.
It seems sometimes I practically live on the various theatre boards, and I get emails and mailings by the basketful about nearly every theatre event in NYC, but I literally had not heard one word about this show until I read this very thread last week. So I printed the $35 matinee voucher and got a front row ticket to this past Wednesday's matinee. I LOVED THIS SHOW, and would agree it's one of the best plays currently playing in New York.
