It felt like the seat actually pitched forward in addition to being too close to the row in front. Luckily, there was a no-show for one seat next to me; even with that, my wife thought I hated the show because I was moving around so much )and I was actively trying not to do so). Tonight Camelot. Had I not purchased tickets in advance, I would be seeing something else.
"
I actually did a BroadwayUpClose tour of the Hudson, and it indeed is pitched forward, with an extra couple inches of space per seat--apparently, they pitched it up to keep patrons awake! But you are right haha
Side note: the backstage tour of the Hudson was so cool and worth it, we even got to go on stage!

Question. Does anyone know if Amy Herzog's updated script of the play will be published in the future? I am really curious to see what the differences are from the original.

I happened to be walking by there today, Wednesday, and she was out signing. I got a picture of her. She seemed very nice and appreciative with the crowd.

Can someone tell me what was so funny when she walked off at the end. I was on the far left in the balcony, and didn't see her walking in the light except the beginning of it. The audience was laughing, what was so funny?

She walks out the back loading door of the Hudson, and onto the 45th Street sidewalk, with cars driving by. I don't think it's funny at all, but I guess some people are amused by seeing her step into "our" world.

One of the most thrilling performances of the year.
Chastain is amazing in this role.

I caught a matinee of this a few weeks ago. Enjoyed it and loved Jessica. I will say I too had laughter in the audience during Nora's exit and it was so disarming. Like it took me out of that final moment with Nora. Not sure why it was funny, I guess because a police car drove by? I gasped.

I got tickets for this as soon as they went on sale last November. When i read the feedback from preview audiences, I considered trying to unload them, as I'm generally not a big fan of the minimalist trend (including Jamie Lloyd's "Cyrano" at BAM). Although I held on to the tickets solely to see Jessica Chastain, I wasn't expecting much. But wow, I was completely blown away. Absolutely riveted throughout - and sometimes catching myself holding my breath - in a way I haven't been since seeing "Downstate." The performances, direction, and sound design were impeccable. And although the final coup-de-theatre was spoiled for me (my choice to read the spoiler content on this board!) it still packed a wallop in the context of the entire play. (And yes, it's ridiculous that it's staged in a way that a large segment of the audience can't even see it.) This was the unexpected highlight of my trip. See it before it closes if you can... just avoid sitting house left.

For those who have seen Jessica or are curious abut her, I recommend a movie version of Strindberg's Miss Julie, produced in 2014, with her in the title role. An amazing, powerful performance -- unforgettable. It's available on Kanopy.

Well, that answers my question from a couple of weeks back! I definitely want to get a copy of Herzog's script!

I wouldn't be surprised if this doesn't eventually have a London run where it could be filmed more easily.

Forgive me if this was announced elsewhere; Jessica Chastain seemed to have revealed upcoming mountings of the production on her episode of Smartless this past week. She made it seem like there were multiple, so I’m guessing LA and London.

Granted, Chastain was due to star in Doll's House in London 3 years ago, but that was canceled cause of the pandemic. I think Jamie Lloyd would like to FINALLY complete his 2020 Playhouse Season. Maybe next spring?

LA would be amazing.

Yeah, I caught that as well. She definitely was using plurals, as in multiple cities. Probably none as long as the Broadway engagement though.
