FIRST DATE to Close on Broadway January 5, 2014 — Page 2

They should move this to New World Stages where it should have opened originally.

This should have great shelf life in local and regional thief.

I saw the show twice and LOVED IT. We were laughing the whole time.

I would go a third time too!

Krysta is just amazing

So I'm assuming they were comped.

I'm sorry to hear this, but I can't say I'm surprised. I saw the show in August and thought it was cute. The script and score had some clear flaws, but I really enjoyed the performers, a lot of the direction, and I laughed quite a bit. It had a good run.

with the overall lack of available theaters for the spring, I'm guessing any show that's even slightly struggling right now might get pushed out.

Question for the people who are saying it should go off-Broadway. Do shows that do that usually announce it before it stops its Broadway run or afterwards?

Before this show even started previews I was really hoping it would be a success. I remember reading posts on here that it would close right after it opened. I was lucky enough to be in NYC in August and able to see the show. It was great. On my trip I saw Kinky Boots, Pippin and First Date. I loved all three shows for very different reasons. I think the best way to encourage people to see First Date, is this…..I'm not one to laugh out loud, even if I think something is funny. I guess you could call me an "inside laugher" (I just made that up, I think). I was actually laughing out loud! It was very funny!! After it was over, I once again became a huge theatre dork (at 43) and stage doored it. Every one of those cast members were beyond nice. Can't even say enough kind words about each one. Considering you can buy a regular price seat for $35, almost everyone should be able to afford a night out to see this show. Two months to go! And considering most of what I read 3 and 4 months was basically negative, I'm really glad to see this show will have made it till January!

Try your luck at TKTS. The way the stage is set up can be obstructing from the balcony. I loved the show. Sad to see it go.

In response to the last question. I say, if you can get in for $35, go for it. You are in the door! If you TKTS it you'll have a better seat, but it will be around $70. Now…if you are a member of tdf.org and buy tickets, you get best available for $49. Look in to becoming a member. Depending where you live dictates your annual free. My fee per year is $10. If you qualify and apply asap, you'll most likely end up with better seats, for cheaper through tdf.org

I've had great seats every time I've bought tickets through tdf.

So sad to see a show close): Seemed like such a fun show. Hopefully both will continue on to other Broadway shows in the future (cough Krysta in "Aladdin")
