CHICKEN & BISCUITS - Reviews — Page 4

Can anyone confirm if this has an in person rush? I know about the lottery. But some people have stated they got rush tickets. I was going walk to the theater to ask the box office, but it was so dam cold. If it does, I may see this for my December 1 trip.

Thanks for the info, Jordan.

I would have a back up plan anyway just in case it does close. Tickets are refundable so even if you bought a back up plan ticket for the same date/time but end up seeing Chicken & Biscuits, you can get a refund on your back up plan ticket.

Just note that you have to initiate the refund before the show starts (I believe it two hours before start time). Telecharge refunds are much easier to get since there’s a button right on the website. SeatGeek is a little more tricky- I initiated a refund in mid October, ticket was returned to SeatGeek Nov 1, and I’ve yet to a refund even though Jujamycn confirmed a refund was coming. And can’t comment on Ticketmaster.

There’s a reason the black playwrights were all thrown up at the beginning of the season. There’s a reason why many responses to the plays haven’t been glowing. There’s a reason minor effort has been put into these shows’ marketing. The reasons aren’t good.

Elaborate, please"

If I was to guess, I feel like it’s because the Broadway powers that be, along with producers, want to look like they are making a great effort to introduce new black playwrights, but then use the failure to maintain audiences and lukewarm reviews as future evidence against black playwrights by arguing “Oh, but there’s no financially lucrative market for this”

That's a shame.

Well dang, I was planning to see that this Saturday. That suddenly seems unlikely.
