DOWNSTATE - Broadway (Booth) - Colón-Zayas, Freeman & Sadoski

DOWNSTATE on BROADWAY - Booth Theatre

LIMITED ENGAGEMENT • 12 WEEKS ONLY

Winner of the New York Drama Critics’ Circle Award for Best Play, Bruce Norris’s profane, disruptive, and heartbreaking Downstate finally arrives on Broadway in a strictly limited 12-week engagement, directed by three-time Tony Award winner Joe Mantello.

Four men, living together uneasily in the pressure-cooker of a state-sanctioned group home, have been convicted of sex crimes against minors. They have served their prison sentences, but enjoying the freedom they believe they have earned proves both elusive and treacherous. When a survivor unexpectedly arrives and demands to confront his abuser, the encounter triggers a catastrophic chain reaction that cannot be contained.

I believe so, different director and mostly different actors from the Off-Broadway production.

But it hasn't been produced or licensed otherwise, plus it's only a couple of years old. I could see it being determined to be new.

I think it should be new, but the play premiered at steppenwolf is 2018. It was a co production with the national theater where it played in 2019, and then had a run at PH in 2023 which was the same Pam MacKinnon production. Then it was done in DC I guess as a regional production with a new director. Not sure if it was done anywhere else

TODAY TIX a good deal. $130 OR LESS (apply the $20 off code) seats for Downstate (same deal dates) with a $150 deal for SMS for first 100 people.

I guess my royalty check got lost in the mail...

Based on what I read on the official website, September 25 is my best guess for when the rest of the run goes on sale. The promo ends on the 24th.

$99 is the cheapest ticket as of now, which seems... questionable to me at this juncture. It also doesn't really seem like the bundle deal with Small Mouth Sounds has had a big effect on sales; it also looks like all front center orch and mezz is being held throughout the run. No matter what date I click, the houses are more or less identical.
