If Midler is not in every show, what would be the best day of the week to buy tickets for? Or what day not to buy tickets for?

As we're discussing in the other thread, we don't know yet. Sorry.

The safest plan to ensure seeing her would be Fridays or Saturday evenings. Those are going to be the nights with the best ticket sales for any show, and any producer would be a fool to agree to let their headlining star have those as the performances when an alternate takes the role (unless they somehow manage to line up an alternate with an equally large pull on the box office).

Just to see Bette, I would go for a Frid or Sat evening show. I'm curious about the price ranges before tomorrow. Not much info has been released. What is the website that is selling the tickets?

You should probably read the aforementioned other thread.

Got my tickets for a Friday in May. Orchestra center Row M. Seems like tickets sold out in a matter of minutes...at least for the dates I tried for.
Did anyone get tickets for this yet?

She is scheduled to perform for all performances that went on sale today. Ticket for her alternate's performances will go on sale at a later date.

I doubt most of the house was available for sale. The tickets available today may have sold out, though.

It seems like an odd strategy to intentionally withhold tickets when demand is strong, I would have thought...I wonder why they did this (if they did).

Why do people even care? We do not know even if this revival is going to be any good. I hate when people just see big names. Some of the best performances and shows I have seen are not big shows . Like Fun Home which I saw an understudy for Bruce I thought his performance was amazing and the show good. I also saw She Loves Me and while not small . I very much doubt many OS tourists would have bothered but I loved it.
I saw all the hype for American Psycho and know some friends who saw Idina in If/Then. And I am over big names would rather see a show because it is well written rather then a star
Broadway is more than just big names and big shows.
I really want to see Dear Evan Hansen though

I, too, hate when people decide to do things they enjoy and then discuss the process of going through with it!

Quite frankly, I don't care who's playing Dolly. I 've been been fanatically in love with the show since 1964 and I can't wait to see it another dozen times!
