Could you tell about how early one might have to arrive, and where the seats were? Thank you.

Weird. I was going to post this. I'd also like to know. And is the show good? It looks very interesting.

I'm curious too about the rush tickets but I will say that when I saw this in Toronto this past summer, it was first time I felt like I didn't PAY THEM ENOUGH (prices were about the same for reg tickets).

The production is AMAZING and simply put, THE BEST PLAY I have EVER seen. GO!

$25 student tickets are available for this Friday's 3 PM matinee. Just enter code STUDENT on their box office website. Seats are any remaining non-premium.

There's also a code for $40 for people under 40 for all Friday matinees.

They also list a general rush for $20 that begins an hour before. They say the tickets are partial view and that long lines are expected.

I can't wait to see the show after hearing so much about it. It will also be my first visit to St. Ann's.

Agreed. Saw this in Toronto and it was one of the best theatrical experiences I've ever had. One of the examples of what great theatre could be.

Is this on the Brooklyn TKTS? I can't afford full price (so I might opt for the $40), but I can't stand partial view, esp for a play.

I seriously loved this show in TO. Tried to rush a couple of times after I saw it but it was sold out and I mean every seat had bums in em. When they talk about a piece of theatre this is the kind of thing they mean. A mesh of dance/movement, music, special effects and truly moving performances.
Can't recommend it highly enough.

I saw the show at UCLA last fall, and it was spectacular. Don't miss it.

I saw this on its UK tour earlier this year and it may turn out to be the best thing I see this year.

The seats were on both the longer sides of a rectangular stage, and I understand it is performed in a similar layout at each venue.
