CONFIRMED: CABARET at the August Wilson Theatre, Spring 2024 — Page 9

Are the tables going to be the most luxurious tickets to get? If I'm going to splurge on this I want to have a really amazing ticket. I know it's early but does anyone have any insight?

From what I can see via SeatGeek's seating chart, you will want to sit on the side that includes the massive (original) mezzanine that already exists within the theatre. Unless staging will be noticeably changed for NY, the London production largely plays to that side of the theatre, but the whole endeavor takes place in the round. I would definitely get tickets on that side, and I would spring for a table if you are willing to spend the money. The tables in London were infinitely more comfortable than the ones used at Studio 54 for the previous revival and its subsequent re-revival. Those were wooden, the seats in London at least have cushioning.

And also worth mentioning that Redmayne/Buckley only did about 4 months of performances in London, presumably both had 6 month contracts including rehearsals. The cast changes every 3-4 months it seems in London, so perhaps that will be the template for the NY production as well.

Any rumors about other cast members? I'm not interested at this point and hoping that other casting news will get me on board to pay the high numbers for a ticket.

Gayle's Instagram post about her casting has kind of broken my heart, beautiful.

I am trying hard to remember that I am, in fact, awake.

The closest I’ve come to any clarity about this gift is that a couple of weeks ago a dear and heartbroken friend of mine reminded me about the idea of Grace. That there just might be Grace sometimes.

I have tried to find a poem, a song, an image, anything to help me express, adequately, how I feel about what this Grace means to me. What a privilege it is to get to hold hands with Sally Bowles. In our struggling world, as who I am now…I’m at a loss. I can only hope, in my interacting with this mammoth legacy I can share even a taste of the profundity my particular grip with Sally has upon my life and how grateful I am for it, to Frecks, to Eddie…the whole family. 4There are so many people who have loved me into this and when I felt too vulnerable to keep risking another dear friend said to me “There is no good reason not to.” I promise to take good care of her and I feel in awe and bolstered by the frightening soul power of

Jill, Penny, Tandy, Anita, Melissa, Judi, Kelly, Alyson, Mary, Jane, Natasha, Jennifer, Susan, Katie, Joely, Gina, Deborah, Milena, Melina, Heather, Jane, Mary, Molly, Linda, Brooke, Kate, Lea, Katrina, Anna, Kim, Amy, Michelle, Michelle, Sienna, Emma, Andrea,
Alexandra, Kendal, Leigh Anne, Jessie, Amy, Emily, Madeline, Nic, Aimee, Maude, Rebecca, Krysta And Liza…

…all the Sally’s I know…

Come be with us APRIL 2024

So, do we think the show will use Yondr Pouches or just stick with the sticker over the camera?

The latter.

Perhaps that will change a bit when it actually opens, but audiences haven't exactly been enthralled this season by other immersive works that have taken years to get to Broadway (Here Lies Love). Plus, we have the similarly themed "Harmony" already running, plus there have been numerous revivals of "Cabaret" in NYC already. This feels like a very expensive gamble to me."

Agree - as someone who absolutely adored Alan Cumming's portrayal of the emcee and saw it several times, I can't imagine paying a bloated price for this. A regular price maybe out of curiousity, but an inflated one - definitely not. I've also heard from friends that saw it in London that it's actually not all that immersive, just the entering and exiting the theater where you wind your way through hallways (like great comet?) and that otherwise it's basically the sam mendes production down to the same cocktail tables they had at studio 54."

It's Cabaret in the round with an immersive pre-show, basically. You enter through the stage door and move through a bunch of on-theme bars and spaces. There's a pre-show performance company that performs around the bars and auditorium.

However, I would challenge that it's like the Mendez production. Frecknall has a clear vision for this production that is different from the Mendes one. The tables aren't even similar. They're totally different designs...

Alex M said: "What kind of prices are we looking at, you think? I don't mind splurging a little for good tickets but for me splurging is like $250."

If you go to their ticket page on SeatGeek, it says tickets are "$99+". $99 was the minimum Music Man price and I wouldn't be surprised if this is similar to that. So $250 would probably be a nice mezz seat or a rear orch seat (my rear orch seat for Music Man was $250).

FYI, starting Monday, June 17, 2024 Redmayne will not perform on Monday evenings and Rankin will not perform at Wednesday matinees.

You can see some the dining add-ons on the website here: https://kitkat.club/cabaret-broadway/food-drink/, but the three options are $80, $95, and $105.

However, I saw this in London and it is fanatic. VERY VERY dark."

SPELLCHECK! "Fantastic"?

I admit I am thoroughly confused by the seating chart. When trying to get the best seats for this tomorrow, should I be looking at the part of the orchestra section shown to be almost totally covered by the mezzanine overhang, or the part that looks to be barely covered by the mezz?
