I am thrilled to see that MCC has announced an extension for Carrie -- glad to know that more availability means more people will have the opportunity to see this fine - yes, fine! -- production and its inventive take on the material. And Marin and Molly Ranson's great performances. Especially Molly, who is stellar!!! Bravo!!
Forgive me. What I should have said was, built in or not, I was happy to see the that the offical announcement was made public today and that additional seats were put on public sale.
The show usually only has a couple of single regularly-priced tickets available on the day of performance - the premium tickets in the orchestra and mezzanine seem to always sell too. So while it may not be literally selling out every performance it seems to come close to it..
"You can't overrate Bernadette Peters. She is such a genius. There's a moment in "Too Many Mornings" and Bernadette doing 'I wore green the last time' - It's a voice that is just already given up - it is so sorrowful. Tragic. You can see from that moment the show is going to be headed into such dark territory and it hinges on this tiny throwaway moment of the voice." - Ben Brantley (2022)
"Bernadette's whole, stunning performance [as Rose in Gypsy] galvanized the actors capable of letting loose with her. Bernadette's Rose did take its rightful place, but too late, and unseen by too many who should have seen it" Arthur Laurents (2009)
"Sondheim's own favorite star performances? [Bernadette] Peters in ''Sunday in the Park,'' Lansbury in ''Sweeney Todd'' and ''obviously, Ethel was thrilling in 'Gypsy.'' Nytimes, 2000
