FRANKIE AND JOHNNY Previews

The revival of Terrence McNallys Frankie and Johnny in the Clair de Lune begins previews this Saturday! Directed by Arin Arbus and starring Audra McDonald and Michael Shannon, the show is set to open May 30th.

Excited to get the 2019-2020 season rolling. Who’s planning on going?

Very interested to read everyone's thoughts once previews begin - my friend and I are going, but not until the end of May. Had a discount code and took a chance. Looking forward to it!

My sister is seeing this on the first preview tomorrow. I have a ticket for July. I'm very excited! If she tells me about it I'll share here

Nice! Hoping to grab a ticket. I wonder if the tickets on Telecharge go up when the box office opens at 10 or if it’s the whole day?

Can anyone explain how May 29th's performance is ar 6:30pm and May30th's is at 8pm and tickets are being sold to the general public when all of the adverts cite the official opening night is the 30th? Weird. Does that mean those attending will be getting "Opening Night" playbills? Or, is the 30th just when reviews will be posted?

So now that I finally got a great deal, the play will probably be inexplicably bad.

Thanks for the tip. There are still plenty of $25 tickets available.

I've never been at the Broadhurst. How's the mezzanine?"

Great, theatre is small and the mezz is close to the stage.

Yes, clearly a situation like we just had with Burn This. Red carpet and cast party will be on 5/29, with an official opening on 5/30, when reviews will be released.

Thanks so much for the info. - just grabbed two tickets for our date in the fourth row Mezz center. We were originallyfurther back in the Mezz at the lowest original price point,so we’ll try to sell those seats for at least part of what we paid, but even if we can’t it’s still worth it to move up for so little."

My sister was in the same predicament. I told her to ask the box office if she could refund her ticket bc she could no longer go, they did for the full amount and she just bought her $25 ticket today. It's worth a shot

Mike Barrett said: "Ive never seen Audra before so Im contemplating this, although Id prefer my first time be in a musical with her. For anyone who's seen this show before, nudity that bad to see with parents/aunts or uncles?"

SLIGHT SPOILERS BELOW:

The opening scene of the play is literally the two title characters climaxing in bed. I saw the last revival some 16 years ago (with Rosie Perez and Joe Pantoliano) and there was also some scattered nudity throughout. At the time I was 13 years old and since I was so young and new to the play I went with my mom. SUPER AWKWARD for sure but it’s something we still laugh about to this day. Was able to grab a $25 ticket this morning (Mom is sitting this one out lol). Very excited to revisit this with 2 great actors one of whom (Audra) I’ve (somehow) yet to see on stage.

also thanks telecharge for making a $25 ticket into a 36$ one after fees -.-"

I’m not surprised it’s selling poorly but I am surprised it is selling so poorly they had a promo for $25 tickets.



Also, fees suck but I have no issue paying $36 for a Broadway show and knowing I actually have a seat. No biggie.
