I guess no American actors were available?
If anyone ever tells you that you put too much Parmesan cheese on your pasta, stop talking to them. You don't need that kind of negativity in your life.

More appropriate comment is "I guess no Italian actors were available"

I can't imagine what these tickets will cost on the resale market. Funny that Craig was recently complaining about Broadway audiences: too old...too much money. Well, who does he think will be first in line for this run? Only older, richer folks will be able to afford a ticket.

Didn't Daniel Craig get his fill of coming to broadway and being terrible with Betrayal?

He's really coming across as a crank. Whining about playing James Bond. B*tching about Broadway audiences. Needs to lighten up a bit.
Having said that, this production will sell out in a heartbeat and make a killing on the resale market.

I've been a young patron for a few years now. Many patrons of the NYTW are actually fairly young as far as patron groups go. Also, I imagine ticket prices will remain as they have in the 60-90 range on the primary market. Provided they book early, accessibility will be pretty reasonable for all, especially considering the standard Broadway prices.
I for one can't wait!

This might be pretty terrific....were there even any HINTS at when this might go up?
If we're not having fun, then why are we doing it?

Hope you're right. But I can see those cheap tickets being scooped up and resold for hundreds of dollars on scalper sites.

I imagine NYTW will have the same ticketing policy as they for Lazarus where there is no option for print at home tickets or mailing tickets. All tickets will have to be picked up 2 hours before the performance using the ID of the person who purchased the tickets. Will some still get resold? Sure. But the seller will have to meet the buyer at the theater before the performance which should cut it down considerably.

I'm not familiar with the NYTW ticket policy. Are tickets only available to subscribers—or are they made available to the general public?

Tickets are (usually) available to the public. However, considering how quick of a sale Lazarus was (sold within a few hours), I imagine this will go twice as fast.
