I just asked at the BO and Ben is scheduled to go on tomorrow 9/19. There's a few Mezz Center tickets for $226 w/ fees as of now.

i took the chance, crossing my ffingers he doesn't bow out last minute.

Just the Wednesday and Saturday matinees.

There are a bunch of StubHub seats for 9/19, tomorrow night, for less than $200 each. Any idea why the ticket prices for tomorrow night are half what they are on other day when Ben Platt is scheduled to appear?

There was a lot of speculation that he wouldn't appear due to the Jewish holiday. But I think maybe because he has been out a lot lately that he is changing his plans? He has said in previous interviews that the Jewish holidays are in his contract to not perform though. But the holiday is Wednesday night through Friday, so I'm really not sure about today.

What dates are the major Jewish holidays that he will most likely have off? Anyone have ideas from past years?

The 20-22 of this month. I do think if he was taking any of these days off telecharge probably would have posted about it (they've been good about posting what dates he will be off) but who knows until the night of the performances tho I suppose.

That's interesting that they haven't announced anything about those dates. I guess we will see when the time comes. Thank you!

Yom Kippur is 9/30/17.  Is it true that people are more likely to take Yom Kippur off from work than Rosh Hashana?

Ben is out at least tonight, 9/20 and I'd assume through 21. Maybe 22? (Although that's a Friday)

My friend went last night and said Ben was there but the understudies were in for Connor (Faist) and his Dad (Park).

I'm looking to go again and patiently waiting to nail it.

How do you know Ben is out tonight, 9/20?  It's not posted on Telecharge.

I called Telecharge and Ben is slated to perform tonight-September 20. I am crossing every appendage- I bought these tickets after a getting into a bad accident and I have been looking forward to his performance for months........ I hope the previous poster is incorrect about his absence tonight.

I don’t know how the previous poster came up with that, but I highly doubt that he’s privy to any information that the rest of us aren’t. I could be wrong, but, chances are he’ll be in tonight.

He has mentioned in interviews that the big Jewish holidays are in his contract to not perform, but I am hearing that he will perform anyways since he was out for a while. Other than that, it hasn't been posted anywhere that he will be out -- so it's just wild speculation. I guess we'll see when people see it tonight!

Correct, I was there last night and only Michael Park was out.

I bought my ticket nearly six months ago and am so thankful I finally got to see this incredible cast. Ben Platt sounded great and was of course amazing and I will never understand how he does that night after night - but I was completely blown away by Rachel Bay Jones. She was truly something special to see. I completely lost it during So Big/So Small.

Report from tonight....

Ben Rachel and Laura in!  There is a god!!!

Amazing vocals from Ben sounded better than the cd!  Unforgettable acting and emotion! 

 

Unfortunately most of the Murphy family was out tonight except for Laura!

Colton replaced Michael and did a fantastic job!

Met Matt Lucas sitting next to me- an added bonus!

This would have already been announced. What do the people on here not get? It’s less than 10 days away. 

 

 

And im going at 8pm.
