Harvey just tweeted about a new play (?) he's written and will be performing in. Has anyone heard anything?

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.

Does anyone have a promo code for this? The tickets aren't available as far as I can tell. Do I have to be an MTC member to purchase this?

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

This is looking fun. Interesting that Harvey might have wanted Lily Tomlin in the role. Looking forward to it.

Just saw and Instagram ad for the 3U3 tickets.

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.

Can you share the 3U3 ad? I’m a member but haven’t gotten any code yet.

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.

I'm not sure when 3 became an abbreviation for 30. Plus, you can't be too busy if you're also on here...

Usually the code for their 30 under 35 program has been 3U3, or some variation containing 3U3.

It is indeed just 3U3.
