Cats: The Jellicle Ball to Broadway — Page 7

FANtomFollies said: "Just bought front row Mezz tickets for April. I'm slightly worried about being able to see the end of the runway from up there, but I was more concerned about heads in the way sitting in the mid-orchestra. We shall see..."

Sutton Ross said: "Not always.A Strange Loop had like a million celebrity producers and it still closed at a loss. They don't make a difference in the success of a show, it's got to stand on its own. I loved A Strange Loop but recognized that it's not for everybody and won't be universally loved. I think this show is similar."

Sutton, are you saying that Jellicle Ball isn’t gonna last long on Broadway or are you saying it’s gonna be one of those shows that caters to a very specific kind of audience. I mean A Strange Loop catered to a specific audience and didn’t last that long on Broadway. Personally, I think Jellicle Ball should definitely last a good while (and if there’s any proof all of the onstage seating is completely sold out for the current run at this point)

That tracks with my middle aged gay friends being excited about Beaches lol

The musicals are being met with much less excitement. All under 1.7 advances Beaches being the highest. Then Schmigadoon, Lost Boys, Cats and Titanique are all clustered closer to 1.1.
 

Not saying you're wrong, but it really looks lie Beaches has barely sold any tickets at all on their seating charts. If anything it looks like Cats and The Lost Boys are the only ones selling.

If you are hearing it from any of your other multiple personalities, it doesn't count as a "source".

It looks like rear mezz and rear orchestra might be greyed-out as production holds but not truly purchased, to encourage buyers to spend on the more expensive seats. There’s a strange blanket pattern of those sections being sold each night.
Maybe I’m wrong. Has anyone here bought seats in the last row or extreme sides or orchestra or mezz for the first week?"

Usually has to do with waiting to confirm with waiting to see if partial view or not... or production holds in previews for designers and such, often rear orch.

Ensemble1711444445 said: "You guys are such fragile broadway snowflakes. Remember when you trashed me for telling you Beaches was coming in...Titanique? Why can't you just accept information and process it? Why the attacks? I don't get it. You want information but you reject it without any basis for your rejection.

If you don’t like it here do us all a favor and leave
