The dates are now loaded. Prices are outrageous. Table seats are $599 on weeknights, $699 on weekends. Cheapest ticket will be found in the last 2 rows of left and right mezzanine for $99 on weeknights, $119 on weekends. This is before fees.
Just picked up a rear mezzanine seat for the third preview. I've sat back there before at the August Wilson with no issue, so hoping it's still okay for this production.

I think tickets are in line with all the other high profile shows, I was willing to forego this if prices were too high. Am I as close as I might want? No, but no real complaints, I'm sure I'll be able to see just fine

Just got my ticket. Pretty high, but I have no doubt it will be worth it when I get to see this magical production again!
The idea is to work and to experiment. Some things will be creatively successful, some things will succeed at the box office, and some things will only - which is the biggest only - teach you things that see the future. And they're probably as valuable as any of your successes. -Harold Prince
The guy who took these promo photos, Mason Poole, is Beyonce's photographer. If they can't have their London stage photog who also does great work, I hope they can swing Poole again to do production shots

I'm thinking that might be an Eddie Redmayne thing - his team didn't want a bigger star as Sally to pull focus or the producers felt only his name could sell it (I don't think that's true but I don't always get Broadway math).

Based on the seating chart, the front row of Mezz 4 is 6 rows closer to the stage than Mezz 1-3. That's a significant difference IMO. Also, the front row of Mezz 4 is about $100 cheaper than front row Mezz 1-3. If I was getting mezz tix, I'd would go with Mezz 4 hands down.
Thanks! Those were my thoughts, as well. I picked up a ticket for the last row of Mezz 4, which is row E, dead center. The ticket price was great—with the discount last week, it cost $159. It seems close to the stage. I read a bit online about the London production, and inferred that the actors may play a bit more towards the other side (Mezz 1-3) but, I’m sure it will be just fine. :)
If so, I wasn't terribly impressed. (And I'm one that is crazy excited to see this again.

Wow, I smell a third Tony for Neuwirth. What a perfect role for her at this stage in her career, and a beautiful link to her Kander and Ebb/Brecht/Weill work.
Bebe is a legend and Skybell’s Tevye was truly stupendous. Excellent casting choices and both seem like easy Tony noms for these roles, at least on paper.
"...everyone finally shut up, and the audience could enjoy the beginning of the Anatevka Pogram in peace."
I had been hoping for Kudisch but Skybell is absolutely perfect. Unbelievable that Bebe hasn’t been on Broadway in 14 years. Thrilled those rumors turned out to be true.
