Glad I bought a ticket, the very few that are left have doubled in price.

I just got an email that this is returning for a limited engagement. Pre-sale is available now with the code BACKTOWORK at http://www.vanyanyc.com/. I saw it and wanted to go again but it was sold out. The staging and performances were really magnificent.

I loved it. The lighting in particular was divine.

Excellent.  This was far and away one of the most polished “showcase” productions I’ve ever seen.  Has anyone heard who is replacing Bill Irwin for the upcoming second Showcase next week?

Tiered pricing sucks.

I'm confused. How is the pricing for this any different than say what you finds at 54 Below or Joe's Pub?  Different types of seating in different proximity come at different prices.  Seems pretty normal to me.

I meant, dynamic pricing.

The GA barstools starts at 65, then the price increases to 85, 95, etc.

It is powered by Ticketmaster, so that's where the evil comes from.

Wow some of the added performance they are charging $430 for some seats, is that a off-broadway record?

IDK what it is, but it should be illegal.

There are tickets available for $545. Not okay. I can't even find a seating chart anywhere...

I read somewhere that's in a loft with just 40 seats.

It is - but if they're asking for almost $550 for a reserved seat, they should at least give you a map of whereabouts your seat will be located.

I didn’t care for it. All the mumbling whispers in the dark at the end of the first act, painful! The second act got a bit better but I couldn’t wait to get out of there. Most chairs were reserved for notable actors, the rest of us got to sit on stools, very uncomfortable. No comparison to the superb, similarly “immersive” Soho Rep production with Reed Birney and Michael Shannon several years ago.

anyone else saw this in their return run?

apparently this time they are performing in a much bigger place - a STUDIO (not a studio apt LOL) - it does not feel "hyper intimate" at all - I kinda feel being "scammed" LOL  

there are two pillars in the middle of the room which is so distracting.
