Nice!

Do you know when the tickets are going on sale? https://www.manhattantheatreclub.com/2019-20-season/bella-bella/ doesn't say



Edit - never mind. I am blind. It says the tickets go on sale on Sept 3rd.

I think City Center shows normally go on sale at noon.

Thanks! I see it now. Are there discount/promo codes available? It's quite pricey @ $99-$139 range. :o"

THM brings them down to $89.

I'm waiting for 3U3 tickets for this one.

I think $3 for people under 3 is getting a bit silly... will they even know who Bella Abzug is?

My 2 year old nephew wants to dress up like Jackie Bouvier Kennedy circa 1961 for Halloween (he is adamant it has to be 1961)so I think it’s safe to assume a 3 year old is aware of Bella Abzug. "

My 18 month old niece holds the largest private collection of Bella Abzug's hats in the world. Acquired her first one at a Sotheby's auction at 7 months, so yeah a 3 year old should be able to expound at length on major policy achievements as well as her campaign platform from her 1977 New York Mayoral campaign.

The abbreviations on this site are a little ridiculous at times.

Obviously I'm curious if this will have echoes of Hillary or if it will have more general political relevance. As someone who didn't find a ton to recommend in Hillary and Clinton besides the performances, I hope it's the latter. There are certainly many female presidential candidates this year and there has been an uptick in women running for elected office in general.
