Didn't see a thread about this... but this marvelous show is coming back to NYC and tickets are on sale today, in the $100-150 price range. They're also doing another work by Christian and new play by Lauren Yee this season.

I was also pleased to see that Signature has many crazy accessible ticket programs... any student can get 2 $20 tickets (in any seating area), anyone under 30 can get 2 $30 tickets (in any seating area), and any education worker, public sector worker, nonprofit employee, veteran, or handicapped person can get 2 $40 tickets (in select seats).

The earlier production was one of my favorite things I've seen in a LONG time.

Hoping this also results in a much-needed cast recording.

Was there a code? I signed up, but all the tickets are full price still.

Are they doing the immersive seating in the round at The Signature?   Or restaging?   That was one of the very interesting things about the original production.

It seems from the chart there are slightly more seats than at Ars Nova (somebody fact check me on that if I'm wrong!), but still in the round in the same arrangement.

Hope Oratorio mixes well with the Cartozians. Doing a double in early November since they are both at Signature.

It’s 35 or under! You don’t need a code. You have to create a Signature account, sign up for that specific program offering, check out, and then go through the ticket purchase / selection process. (I think Tiers 2 and 3 are applicable for the discount. Or maybe 3 and 4?)

You should see the accurate discounted rate in your cart when you proceed to check out.

I can’t seem to figure it out. Anyone else?

The website says it’s for people 18-30. “Signature’s latest membership option, a low-price ticket program for theatergoers 18-30. This free-to-join membership gives you access to $30 tickets to all of Signature’s shows.”
 

https://signaturetheatre.org/signature-memberships/
Do you have an account?  If not, under Sig30, click on the “ sign up for free” button.  Make an account where it asks you for your birthday and stuff. Then you can buy two tickets for 30 bucks plus 3 dollar fee.  They’re available for any performance on tiers 2 and 3, so not the seats closest to the stage.  You will see the discount applied at checkout.

I’m having problem as well.  I have Access Membership but it doesn’t apply to any tier when I put it in my cart.  I didn't have a problem before with Grangeville.  Any one having problems with the Access Membership?

Make sure you are logged in to your account. When your tickets are added to your cart, they will show up as full price. Once you have proceeded to the checkout screen, as long as you are logged in to your account and valid seats are in your cart (not exceeding two), that is when the discount will be automatically applied

The Signature site’s description of the Access 30 program is conflicting. In one place, it’s 18-30; another, it’s 18-35. I can confirm it’s for 35 and under, not 30. Maybe they increased the age at some point and didn’t update it across the board, which I’m grateful for as a 35-year-old whose bank account would much rather I spend $30 than $90+ on tickets to Oratorio.

Am I correct in thinking that actors are included in their Access program, as “Theatre Workers”?
