I've been told by a friend who is affiliated with the Shubert Org.

DEH is already selling tickets at the Belasco. How do they deal with that if they are indeed moving?

Glad I read this thread. Not many tickets left, but I got one!

Just bought one of the last tickets remaining to see this in the matinee next Sunday at Ford's, since it's the only day I have free during its run to see it. Looking forward to seeing it based on all the reviews I've seen here! And because I like to make the most of my time when I leave the house, I'll be seeing a second show later that evening, a regional production of Urinetown, which I've never seen. Hopefully the mood whiplash won't be too strong there between the two shows.

Wow, I was hoping to see this again. I'll have to check the box office tomorrow during my lunch break.

The Ford's run has been extended for 1 week through 10/16 so that should improve ticket availability although it appears they have increased the price of tickets by about 25%.
Posted: 9/13/16 at 3:14pm
Darn. I needed them to extend one more week. I guess I'll wait until Broadway.

Bought a ticket for October 15th! Can't wait :)

Thoughts on the Schoenfeld? Is it perhaps too big for this show?

Does this mean THE HUMANS is closing at the start of the new year?
Posted: 9/15/16 at 9:29am
I think the Schoenfeld is the right size. Haven't seen the show yet, but there's not a smaller option really.

Last peformance is January 15th.

Oh, the Schoenfeld is only barely above 1,000 seats. Not sure why it was much larger in my head. I hope this show can achieve success there!

Although an activity frowned upon by many here-anyone know if the cast is signing/stage dooring at Ford's Theater? I'm going to DC on a business trip and have tickets the first week in October, and I was wanting to take my If/Then Playbill to get Jenn's signature. She was on vacation when I saw the show on Broadway and I have most of the other principals, including Idina, and just wanted to round it out.

Closing announcement stating their making room for Come From Away.

When I read The Humans announced its closing I thought this show would work well at the Schoenfeld, and I'm glad that's where it's headed. I've only seen American Psycho here but I saw it twice from the rear mezz and found it surprisingly intimate.
Posted: 9/15/16 at 3:45pm
Sadly won't get the chance to see this in DC, but hopefully on Broadway at some point. I wanted to ask if anyone might be willing to pick up an extra playbill for me? I would obviously be more than happy to pay for the shipping to get it to me. Thanks!

Was the closing even announced? It seems like the only reason we know about its official closing is through the announcement of the next show at the theater.

From my end, it seems like the "Come From Away" announcement came before the "The Humans" closing notice, but only in a matter of a few minutes. As soon as I finished reading the CFA announcement, and read the (at the time) short thread on the announcement, when the page refreshed "The Humans" had announced their closing.

I'm not going till Oct. 8, but I can send you my playbill. I don't save them. I just hope I remember!

I have a bad feeling this show will get good reviews and close early. It seems like an Atlantic theater company show rather than a 1000 seat. Commercial broadway venture.
Unless it wins the tony award for best musical (which seems like a long shot against groundhog day/comet/ dear evan hansen/ Amalie (if it comes in) anastasia/ Charlie and the chocolate factory) I feel like it will be a critics darling that fades away to regional theater land fairly quickly.

Saw this last night with my family at Ford's and we all truly enjoyed it. Fantastic ensemble piece and the entire cast did a beautiful job seemlessly switching from one role to another. For a show with minimal props and set, they made you believe they were on that airplane, in that town hall, on that bus, etc. See it in the front of the balcony or front mezz because you will want to see the full scope of the stage as actors use the whole space and the staging makes certain scenes. I laughed a lot more than I expected - it is a warm and funny show but with a number of very moving moments throughout. And while it is set in the time frame of 9-11 and how that affected people who were "away" when that happened, it is really a broader story about our shared humanity in the scope of tragedy. Really uplifting - a little show with a lot of heart, and the cast was just great. This is not a blockbuster type show, but you will leave the theatre smiling.
