Hopefully with Nick and Priyanka Jonas joining the producing team, that’ll bring more eyes to the play

concerning they are bringing new investors on after previews have started but fingers crossed this one does well, we could use more comedies on Broadway

I just received my ticket for tonight (via TodayTix) and it's front row center (row AA). Excited for the show!

What time did you get there for rush, Jordan? Wondering if I would likely be able to pick up a ticket next Saturday around noon.

Around one in the afternoon, I think?

Thanks to this thread, I'm now looking forward to seeing this next Friday via TDF. This is the longest I've been away from NYC since I was 15, and I cant wait to get back for my first theater weekend!

We've missed you here and we've needed you. Welcome back

Agreed!! I just got back from tonight's performance and I implore everyone to see this show ASAP!

The whole cast was great, but Ebony Marshall-Oliver was on another level of greatness.

The show was not quite sold out, but the vast majority of seats were filled, so hopefully word of mouth keeps spreading and this show gets the love it really deserves.

Yes, Jordan! Truly one of the funniest performances I’ve seen in a long, long time.

Not gonna lie, this was the hottest funeral in town.

We all laughed, cried, gasped, snapped, whooped, and shouted AMEN! There was not one weak link in the cast and you felt truly invested in all of them at one point or another.

HOWEVER, this is what creates a problem in terms of pacing. At just North of two hours, there was a lot going on and so many personalities to keep track of that whenever another subplot is brought back into focus, you think “Oh right, that was also hapoening”. It definitely needs to be tightened up or given an intermission, but once the pacing is fixed, this could become the surprise sleeper hit of the season

Right?! She gave me everything I didn’t even know I needed and then some.

Absolutely loved it. It has the warm glow of a strong, hilarious family comedy that we all need right now. Go go go

How much is the in person rush?

Interesting comment:

I know one of the cast members and when he learned I was planning to see the play again, he suggested I see it from a different location. With the staging this show is being given, he feels it'll feel like a different show from a different seat.

I did the same with Once On This Island. Tried to see it from multiple locations. I did find a seat that I thought had the best view of the entire theatre and oddly enough it’s in the very last row.

I think that's a great idea! I did find myself at times wishing my eyes could look in two directions at once during the group scenes. Sometimes the cast members who aren't the focus of the scene do very funny asides, which garnered laughter/reactions from the part of the audience who was able to see those moments directly.

count me as another voice urging you to run/don't walk to see this. When, out of nowhere, the show was announced, a  friend invited me to join him for opening night. I said yes but was skeptical about the show. Then I started hearing ecstatic reviews from everyone I knew who had seem it (literally and on here) so I decided I could not wait to see it. I'll happily go back on the 10th.
